A new piece of research reveals that telling your wife that you're going for a few rounds of golf with your friends is the most popular excuse adulterers use when sneaking out to meet another woman.
一項(xiàng)新研究指出，當(dāng)男人溜出去見別的女人的時(shí)候，告訴妻子自己要和朋友打幾局高爾夫是他們最常用的借口。

The study found that 34 per cent of unfaithful men said that they told their wife they were going to play 18 holes as a cover for their affair.
這項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，不忠的男人有34%表示，要掩蓋自己的風(fēng)流韻事，他們會(huì)告訴妻子自己要去打滿18洞。

It's a result that may surprise many, but expert Christian Grant explains why it shouldn't.
許多人可能會(huì)對(duì)這個(gè)結(jié)果表示驚訝，不過專家克里斯汀·格蘭特解釋了大家不需要驚訝的原因。

'Saying that you're going for a round of golf ticks all the boxes,' he said. 'Firstly, it covers you for several hours, especially if you're playing 18 holes and not 9.’
他表示，“說自己要去打一局全中的高爾夫，首先這會(huì)幫你掩蓋幾個(gè)小時(shí)，尤其是當(dāng)你在打18洞而不是9洞高爾夫的時(shí)候?！?/div>

Mr. Grant continued: 'With golf a popular hobby among men, it's much more likely that your wife will respect your space, especially if it's your sole hobby – they're far less likely to question their husband playing a sport than going to the pub.’
格蘭特先生繼續(xù)說道：“高爾夫是備受男士歡迎的一個(gè)愛好，你的妻子極有可能會(huì)尊重你的個(gè)人自由，尤其當(dāng)高爾夫是你唯一的愛好的時(shí)候。而且，同去酒吧的丈夫相比，她們更不可能質(zhì)疑去參加體育活動(dòng)的丈夫?！?/div>

'And, finally, it's also relatively weather-proof, as driving ranges still operate even when the weather is a little sour.'
“最后，打高爾夫也不受天氣影響，因?yàn)榧词固鞖獠惶?，高爾夫練?xí)場(chǎng)也是開放的?！?/div>
