We’ve known for centuries that man’s best friend is the dog - right?
幾百年來我們一直都認(rèn)為狗是男人的最好朋友，對(duì)不？

Not necessarily, according to a latest YouGov study, which found that lobsters were the preferred animals for men - when compared to the choices by women - followed by alligators, sticklebacks, sharks and eagles.
可這還真不一定是對(duì)的。根據(jù)英國(guó)輿觀調(diào)查公司的最新一項(xiàng)研究，男性最喜歡的動(dòng)物是龍蝦，其次是短吻鱷，然后是棘魚、鯊魚和鷹。

For women, meanwhile, the results were a bit more timid - with miniature pigs, cats, ponies, donkeys and chinchillas making up the top five.
相比之下，女性最喜歡的動(dòng)物則沒有那么兇猛，排名依次是迷你豬、貓、小型馬、驢子和南美洲栗鼠等。

The study involved a poll of 190,000 YouGov members in the UK, which the company says is ‘perhaps the largest dataset ever collected of people’s passions and phobias in the animal world’.
該研究結(jié)果來自英國(guó)輿觀公司對(duì)19萬會(huì)員的調(diào)查，該公司稱這可能是“迄今為止參與人數(shù)最多的有關(guān)動(dòng)物喜好的調(diào)查”。

Overall, when gender is not taken into account, the nation’s favourite animals are dogs, tigers, elephants, cats and dolphins.
整體來看，如果不考慮性別，那么英國(guó)人最喜歡的動(dòng)物是狗，然后是老虎、大象、貓和海豚。

The least favoured are eels, millipedes and spiders.
最不喜歡的動(dòng)物是鱔魚、千足蟲和蜘蛛。

When male choices were compared to female choices, however, there was a surprising battle of the sexes on what the most popular animals were.
如果考慮性別的話，可以發(fā)現(xiàn)在最喜歡的動(dòng)物選擇上男性和女性有著相當(dāng)大的差異。

The data showed that lobsters were the most popular animal among men when compared to those less liked by women, followed by alligators, sticklebacks and so on.
調(diào)查數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)果顯示，龍蝦是男人們最喜歡的動(dòng)物，其次是短吻鱷、棘魚等，而這些女人都不怎么喜歡。

For women, compared to men, it was miniature pigs at the top of the list, followed by cats and ponies.
女人們最喜歡的動(dòng)物是迷你豬，接著是貓和小型馬。

As for the most popular animals, the study found that things like dogs and snails were slightly more popular among women than men.
該研究發(fā)現(xiàn)在最受歡迎的動(dòng)物排名中，像狗、蝸牛等動(dòng)物在女性中更受歡迎。

Men were more likely to prefer 'heroic', 'aggressive' or 'creepy' animals, while women preferred 'cute', 'beautiful' and 'exotic' species.
男性傾向于選擇“勇猛的、攻擊性強(qiáng)的、讓人害怕的”動(dòng)物，而女性傾向于選擇“可愛的、漂亮的、國(guó)外的”動(dòng)物。

‘Animals with violent defensive abilities - sharks, eagles and piranhas - are particularly favoured by men,’ noted Will Dahlgreen in an article for YouGov.
威爾·達(dá)爾格林在一篇文章中提道：“像鯊魚、鷹、水虎魚等這種勇猛好斗的動(dòng)物尤其受到男性的喜歡?！?/div>

‘The only mammal in the top 20 most uniquely male animals is the Narwhal, while every animal in the corresponding female list apart from the penguin and butterfly is mammal.’
“在只有男性喜歡的動(dòng)物中，排名在前二十的只有一種哺乳動(dòng)物--角鯨，而女性最喜歡的動(dòng)物中，排在前二十的除了企鵝和蝴蝶之外全部都是哺乳動(dòng)物?！?/div>

Speaking to MailOnline, Mr Dahlgreen added that his suspicion as to why men are more likely to have a positive impression of lobsters is because they associate them with fine dining.
有說法稱男性會(huì)對(duì)龍蝦有這么強(qiáng)烈的好感是因?yàn)辇埼r與美食相連，但達(dá)爾格林先生對(duì)此表示懷疑。

'As for why miniature pigs score so highly on female uniqueness, this isn’t because men are particularly likely to dislike them, but because women are more likely to be drawn towards cute animals,' he continued.
他說：“至于為什么迷你豬在女性中這么受歡迎，并不是它們?cè)谀行灾胁皇軞g迎，只是因?yàn)榕愿菀妆豢蓯鄣男?dòng)物所吸引?！?/div>
