Facebook調查顯示:平安夜求婚人數最多

In a survey of over 2.6 million engaged people, Facebook found that 30 per cent of them became engaged across November and December.

“臉書”在一項對超過260萬名已訂婚人士的調查中發現，其中大約30%的人是在每年的11-12月這一期間求婚的。

While Valentine's Day is traditionally known as the most romantic day of the year, and confirmed as the most popular day for dates - it is Christmas Eve that is deemed the best day for popping the question.

儘管傳統上人們認爲情人節是一年之中最浪漫的節日，也是最流行的約會日，但事實上平安夜纔是最佳的求婚日。

The date of choice could be for a number of reasons - the ability to give a Christmas present and engagement ring at once or perhaps, allow a year to plan ahead of a summer wedding.

選擇平安夜求婚有很多原因，或許是因爲可以把聖誕禮物跟訂婚戒指來個"二合一"，或者是如果求婚成功，就可以爲來年夏天的婚禮留出半年準備時間。

And while the Christmas period may be the most popular time for those wanting to propose, it is not a preferred time when it comes to tying the knot.

聖誕節期間對那些想要求婚的人來說可能是最受歡迎的時間點，但是，它卻不是更受青睞的結婚時間。

In Australia, McCrindle research revealed Christmas Day has an average of just 37 weddings booked each year - a very large difference to the average 2,000 weddings taking place on Saturdays across the country.

在澳大利亞，據麥克林德爾研究所統計顯示，平均每年聖誕節只有37場婚禮，這與定於週末的平均每年2000場婚禮的數字形成了鮮明對比。

And interestingly, a whopping average of 923 weddings occur on Australia Day.

有趣的是，平均會有923場婚禮發生在澳大利亞國慶節這一天。
