The average person in the United States watches almost five hours of television a day, more than an hour greater than the average of people in the world's biggest economies, new research says.
新研究指出，美國(guó)平均每人每天看近五個(gè)小時(shí)電視，比世界經(jīng)濟(jì)大國(guó)民眾看電視的平均時(shí)間多一個(gè)小時(shí)。

2015's International Communications Market report, an annual survey by the UK's telecoms regulator Ofcom, said the average American watches 282 minutes of broadcast television a day - or four hours and 42 minutes.
英國(guó)通信管理局進(jìn)行的2015年國(guó)際通信市場(chǎng)年度調(diào)查報(bào)告顯示，美國(guó)人平均每天看282分鐘電視——即4小時(shí)42分鐘。

In comparison, the average Brit watches three hours and 40 minutes of TV - one minute below the average.
相比之下，英國(guó)平均每人每天看電視的時(shí)間是3小時(shí)40分鐘——比世界平均時(shí)間少1分鐘。

However, the figures include only live television and recorded programmes, not catch-up television or recorded media - which Ofcom said the UK leads the world in.
然而，該數(shù)據(jù)只包括電視直播和錄制節(jié)目，不包括網(wǎng)絡(luò)電視和紀(jì)錄片——英國(guó)通信管理局稱英國(guó)在這兩方面的觀看時(shí)長(zhǎng)居世界之首。

The UK saw the greatest decline in linear TV viewing last year, down 4.9 percent, but Ofcom said the UK appears to be "the most technologically-advanced of European nations".
去年英國(guó)有線電視收看下降4.9個(gè)百分點(diǎn)，是下降最多的國(guó)家。但英國(guó)通信管理局說英國(guó)似乎是“擁有最先進(jìn)技術(shù)的歐洲國(guó)家”。

81 percent of Brits have used an online service to watch TV or films, such as Netflix or BBC iPlayer, in the last month, while 16 percent have watched catch-up TV on a tablet. Both were ahead of any other country in the group of the world's biggest economies.
上個(gè)月，81%的英國(guó)人用在線設(shè)備看電視節(jié)目或者電影，比如用網(wǎng)飛和BBC iPlayer應(yīng)用軟件，16%的人用平板看網(wǎng)絡(luò)電視。在世界最大經(jīng)濟(jì)體中，這都領(lǐng)先于其他任何國(guó)家。

42 percent of UK households own a TV connected to the internet, more than any country except Spain.
42%的英國(guó)家庭有一臺(tái)連接互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的電視，僅次于西班牙，排名世界第二位。

In comparison, the US's broadcast TV viewing per day declined by 3.8 percent last year, and France's declined by 2.2 percent.
相比之下，去年美國(guó)廣播電視收視率下降3.8個(gè)百分點(diǎn)，法國(guó)下降2.2個(gè)百分點(diǎn)。

Of the 15 countries included in the survey, Sweden, China, Korea, the Netherlands and Australia watch less linear TV a day, compared to the UK.
在包括瑞典、中國(guó)、韓國(guó)、荷蘭和澳大利亞的15個(gè)調(diào)研國(guó)家中，他們看電視的時(shí)長(zhǎng)都比英國(guó)少。
