Do you get on well with your neighbours, or are the people living next door stressful? A new report says that a quarter of people in Britain have had problems with their neighbours in the past year. The survey was carried out by an organization called "Which?" It tries to help and protect consumers. The researchers asked 2,062 adults about their relations with neighbours. They found that 27 per cent had experienced problems. "Which?" said on its website that: "Half [of the people] were left feeling angry and half felt irritable, with 42 per cent saying they felt stressed, and one in ten admitted to feeling afraid." It added: "The survey also found that 64 per cent didn't know where to go to seek help and advice."
你與鄰居相處的好嗎？或者說，住在旁邊的那家人有壓力嗎？一則新的報告指出，去年英國4/1的人與他們的鄰居有矛盾。調(diào)查是由一個名為“哪個”的組織進行的。這個機構(gòu)想幫助保護消費者。調(diào)查者詢問了2,062名成年人與鄰居的關(guān)系。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)27%的人有問題。“哪個”機構(gòu)在其網(wǎng)站上稱，一半的人很生氣地離開，一半的人惱怒地走了。42%的人說自己壓力很大。1/10的人承認(rèn)自己感到害怕。advice."它還說，調(diào)查還發(fā)現(xiàn)64%的人不知道去哪里尋求幫助和建議。
The biggest complaints about neighbours were loud voices and the sound of arguing. Loud noises and televisions, and doors slamming were also a problem. People also described drug use and police arriving at their neighbour's house. Only one-third of people spoke to the noisy neighbour about the problem. However, people said the problem became worse if the neighbour did not apologise or continued with their annoying behaviour. "Which?" said 86 per cent of young people (those aged 18-24) did not know where to go to get advice. A "Which?" spokesperson said: "Our research has found that young people especially are suffering in silence." "Which?" said people needed to keep a diary of unneighbourly behaviour.
最大的抱怨就是鄰居的聲音很大、很吵。高分貝的噪音、電視以及摔門聲，也是一個問題。人們還說，吸毒的人和警察曾到過鄰居的家里。只有1/3的人與吵鬧的鄰居說明了這一問題。但是，人們說，如果鄰居并不道歉，或者繼續(xù)吵鬧的行為，這一問題會變得更加嚴(yán)重。“哪個”機構(gòu)稱，86%的年輕人（年齡在18到24歲之間）不知道去哪里需求建議。一位“哪個”機構(gòu)的發(fā)言人稱，我們的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，尤其是年輕人，一直在沉默地忍受這一問題。“哪個”機構(gòu)稱，人們需要將不友好的鄰居的行為記錄下來。
