“脸书”在一项对超过260万名已订婚人士的调查中发现，其中大约30%的人是在每年的11-12月这一期间求婚的。
In a survey of over 2.6 million engaged people, Facebook found that 30 per cent of them became engaged across November and December.
尽管传统上人们认为情人节是一年之中最浪漫的节日，也是最流行的约会日，但事实上平安夜才是最佳的求婚日。
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.
选择平安夜求婚有很多原因，或许是因为可以把圣诞礼物跟订婚戒指来个"二合一"，或者是如果求婚成功，就可以为来年夏天的婚礼留出半年准备时间。
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.
圣诞节期间对那些想要求婚的人来说可能是最受欢迎的时间点，但是，它却不是更受青睐的结婚时间。
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.
在澳大利亚，据麦克林德尔研究所统计显示，平均每年圣诞节只有37场婚礼，这与定于周末的平均每年2000场婚礼的数字形成了鲜明对比。
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.
有趣的是，平均会有923场婚礼发生在澳大利亚国庆节这一天。
And interestingly, a whopping average of 923 weddings occur on Australia Day.
