Gal Gamers Geekier Than Guys
女玩家更胜一筹
A study in the Journal of Communication found that women who engage in a role-playing game online actually spend more time in the alternate reality than the guy players do. Karen Hopkin reports.
发表在《传播学报》的一项研究发现：事实上，沉迷网上角色扮演类游戏（简称RPG）的女玩家比男玩家挥霍更多的时间在这个虚幻世界中。请听卡伦霍普金的报道。
Picture a gamer, someone who spends countless hours immersed in one of those online role-playing alternate realities. And what do you see? Is it a physically fit female closer to 40 than 14? If not, you may need to rethink your assumptions about geekdom. Because a study in the Journal of Communication shows that when it comes to dominating the virtual world, women are actually more hardcore than men.
你脑海中一个沉迷于某个在线角色扮演游戏的玩家是什么样的呢？是不是身体健康的她已老态尽显，而非青春洋溢？如果不是，那么你需要重整下你脑中疯狂网虫概念。因为一项《传播学报》的研究表明女玩家实际上是网络虚拟世界中的统治核心。
Scientists conducted a survey of some 7,000 players who were logged on to a game called EverQuest II. And they discovered some interesting things. First off, the average age of the gamers surveyed was 31. And that playing time tended to increase with age. Which is also where the sex differences come in. The female gamers actually logged more time online: an average of 29 hours a week, versus 25 for the males, with the top players putting in 57 hours a week on the girl"s side, and 51 for the guys. What"s more, it looks like women are more likely to lie about how much they really play. The researchers found that the gals tended to lowball how long they spend glued to the screen.
在对7000名无尽的任务Ⅱ（游戏名）的玩家进行的访查中，科学家们发现了一些有趣的事。首先，受访玩家平均年龄在31岁。他们玩游戏的时间与其年龄成正比，还因性别不同而不同。女玩家花的时间更多：女玩家每周平均29小时在线，最高可达57小时，而男玩家平均25小时，最高51小时；还有，研究者发现女玩家多喜欢在她们的实际游戏时间这个问题上撒谎，而且多倾向于低报。
So, never ask a women her age. Or how much time she spends defeating the dark elves to rebuild the world of Norrath.
记住，女人对自己的年龄和游戏时间都是讳莫如深，千万别问哦！
