I'm A Mac, You're Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin:佩林2008年美国大选共和党副总统候选人 Mac users are more politically liberal, more urban, younger and more educated than their PC-using counterparts, according to a new survey by affinity（倾向, 喜好, 本性; 密切关系） aggregation(集合, 聚合, 集合体) Hunch(预感, 直觉; 瘤; 隆肉; 肉峰). 根据一项新的Hunch关于群体偏好调查，和PC用户相比较，Mac的用户更加政治自由，位于都市中，更年轻并且接受更高的教育。 The results of a survey of 388,315 Hunch users posted Friday in Hunch's visually arresting（醒目的, 引人注意的, 有趣的） style identified 52 percent of respondents as self-described PC people, 25 percent as users of Apple's Macintosh computers and 23 percent as neither. Hunch cross-referenced（相互参照） those results with dozens of other questions it asks users to answer. 通过对388,315位Hunch用户的调查，52%的人认为自己是PC用户，25%的人是苹果Mac用户，另外还有23%的人认为二者皆用。 The details of the findings seem to fall along the lines that many people would have had a, well, hunch about in the first place. Mac users are chic（别致的, 时髦的）, design-oriented and like hummus(鹰嘴豆泥, 鹰嘴豆沙) and San Pelligrino(佩利格里诺). PC users get around in jeans(牛仔裤) and chase(追捕, 追求) down patty(小馅饼, 肉饼) melts(融化, 熔化, 消散) with Pepsi or Orange Crush(压碎, 毁坏; 压榨; 压皱; 镇压). Mac用户通常会比较时髦，以设计为导向并且喜欢鹰嘴豆沙和圣佩利格里诺(苏打水品牌)，PC用户更喜欢牛仔裤、肉饼、百事或者压榨橙汁。 Other results are a bit odder—or at least don't neatly(整洁地, 熟练地) fit into any preconceived((思想、观点等)事先形成的) notions(观念, 概念, 想法, 主张) we might have of the two groups. For example, PC people like sweets, while Mac people like salty chips. PC people lean towards white wines, while Mac people like the red stuff. Among the more provocative(刺激的, 气人的,挑衅的, 挑逗的) findings: ► 58 percent of Mac people are "liberal," as compared to 38 percent of PC people 58%的苹果用户是自由主义者，而PC用户只有38% ► 67 percent of Mac people have completed a four-year college degree or higher, as compared to just 54 percent of PC people 67%的苹果用户完成了四年的大学，相应的PC用户只有54% ► 52 percent of Mac people live in a city, while PC people are 18 percent more likely than Mac people to live in the suburbs and 21 percent live in rural areas ► Mac people throw a lot more parties than PC people ► Mac people are more confident about their verbal（口头的, 用言语的, 用文字的, 逐字的, 动词的） abilities but less confident about their math abilities than PC people Mac用户对于自己的语言表达能力更自信，但对于数学就不如PC用户 ► Mac people are more likely to see random people as "similar," whereas PC people are more likely to see them as "different". Perhaps least surprising of all—among Mac people's very favorite magazines is Macworld. PC users have no similar need to regularly read about how wonderful their computing preference is. And besides, they've got TV Guide. from:http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2384001,00.asp
