예전 기사인데 옮겨와 봅니다. 전세계 39개국을 대상으로 한 설문 조사에서 일본이 거짓말 랭킹 4위에 등극. 1위는 39.1%가 자주 거짓말한다는 페루, 33.6%가 그렇다고 대답한 아르헨티나가 2위, 32.7%가 거짓말을 자주 한다는 멕시코가 3위. 일본은 31.8%가 자주 거짓말 한다고 응답해 4위를 차지.
On the Japanese TV show “Nep & Imoto’s World Rankings,” they conduct surveys to rate countries by random attributes. For example, recent shows have ranked everything from how common it is to cry at graduation ceremonies to the number of shotgun weddings and frequency of cell phone checking.
Another ranking that has generated some chatter in Japan was one people’s tendency to lie, which ranked … countries in accordance to how likely they were to bend the truth.
So where do you think Japan came in?
Producers asked 100 people from 39 countries, “Do you often tell lies?” The countries were then ranked by the percentage of people who answered yes.
Peru took the top spot on the list with 39.1%, followed by Argentina (33.6%) and Mexico (32.7%). I’m not sure where the decimals are coming from, since they had a round number of 100 respondents, but those are the percentages they gave. Anyway, the thing that got Japanese netizens’ knickers in a twist was the fact that Japan came in fourth at 31.8%.
