Women spend 2.5 years cooking

女人一生要花2.5年做饭

Researchers have found that women spend an average of 2.5 years of their adult lives cooking, according to the survey by kitchen appliance manufacturers Breville. The figure has dropped by half in the past 50 years, but men still have it easier, the Daily Mail of London reported. A man on average cooks for 1.4 years of his life. A TV chef said: "As a professional chef I expect to spend the majority of my life working in the kitchen. But 2.5 years in the kitchen during women's lifetimes, especially considering that most women are out at work all day, is a massive amount of time."

据英国《每日邮报》报道，厨具制造商百富利做的一项调查显示，女人在成年阶段平均花两年半的时间做饭，这一数字在过去50年中已经减少了一半。不过，男人相比较而言更轻松，他们平均的做饭时间只有1.4年。一位电视厨师说，"作为职业厨师，我认为花大部分时间在厨房里工作是可以的。但是女人一生有两年半都在厨房度过，尤其是大多数人要在外全职工作，这些时间还是太多了。"
