第56章 情(7)

Of those wives who cite unreasonable behaviour for ending their marriage, 15 percent believe their partners put gaming before them.在以丈夫行为不可理喻为由提出离婚的妻子中,有15%相信丈夫认为游戏比老婆更重要。

This has soared from five per cent a year ago, the study by Divorce Online found.而在一年前,该比例仅占5%。“离婚在线”网站展开这项调查。

In particular, disgruntled wives blamed World of Warcraft, which allows gamers to create their own fantasy character for mythical adventures, and Call Of Duty, where gamers battle in various war zones.心怀不满的妻子们专门指责了游戏“魔兽世界”和“使命召唤”。在“魔兽世界”中,玩家可以创造自己的虚拟人物,开展神话般的冒险活动。在“使命召唤”中,玩家则在不同的战区交战。

The games have faced heavy criticism in the past for their addictive properties, with some claiming that World of Warcraft is more addictive than cocaine.由于容易上瘾,这两款游戏早已招致严厉批评,有些人指出“魔兽世界”比毒品更容易使人上瘾。

One wife who blames her husbands obsession for the breakdown of their marriage is Jessica Ellis, 24, from London.来自伦敦的杰西卡·埃利斯现年24岁,她认为丈夫沉迷于电脑游戏是离婚的罪魁祸首。

She said: “He was addicted to World of Warcraft but played other games now and then.The amount he was playing gradually increased until I could not take it any more.”

她说:“他对魔兽世界非常上瘾,有时也玩别的游戏。他越来越上瘾,最后我终于受不了了。”

“When it became serious, he was playing up to eight hours a day.I was constantly trying to get him to cut back but he didnt think he had a problem until I told him I wanted to leave.But by that time it was too late.”

“严重的时侯,他每天打八个小时游戏。我一直尝试让他戒掉游戏瘾,但他不觉得自己有问题,直到我告诉他我要离开他。但那时已经太晚了。”

The study looked at 200 unreasonable behaviour petitions filed by women.研究人员调查了200例妻子以不可理喻的行为为由提出离婚的

案例。

Divorce Online managing director Mark Keenan said his team carried out the research after noticing World of Warcraft was repeatedly cited by unhappy wives.“离婚在线”总经理马克·基南称,越来越多的闹情绪的妻子抱怨“魔兽世界”成为婚姻杀手,自己的团队注意到了这一点,开展了此项调查。

He said: “I was surprised by the result at first, but I would expect the number to be even higher next year.The increase could be a consequence of people staying indoors more because of the recession, or it might be being used by men in particular as a means of escape from an already unhappy relationship.”

他说:“开始我对调查结果很惊讶,但我预计明年这一数字会更高。这也许是因为经济衰退,人们宅在家里的时间更长了,或者是因为老公用打游戏来逃避本就不幸福的婚姻生活。”
