【摘要】:威廉希尔app 整理了大多数美国人头胎都渴望拥有一个男孩子,其子在有个女孩这样一个家庭就刚好完美了,那么头胎想要男孩的原因是什么呢?原因很简单只因为男孩好养。

Almost half of Americans want their first child to be a boy, according to a new study.

Out of the 2,129 recently married couples surveyed by money-saving website CouponCodes4You, 47 percent said they would prefer to have a son first, and most said it was because boys are 'less hard work'.

Only 21 percent of the respondents said they would like to have a daughter as their first child, and 32 percent said they had no preference either way.

The study also found that the majority of those who wanted a son first – 63 percent - were men themselves, while males made up just 11 percent of those who preferred a daughter as their first child.

While the majority of couples wanted a son first, the reasons behind their gender preferences were varied.

Most of the couples who wanted a boy – 45 percent - said they felt that having a son would be 'less hard work' than a daughter.

On the other hand, a third said they wanted a boy because older sons are better at looking after their younger siblings.

And 19 percent admitted they prioritize having a son because they want him to carry the family name.

一项新研究发现,近半数美国人希望头一胎生的是男孩。

优惠券网站CouponCodes4You调查了2129名新婚夫妇,47%的人表示他们更希望第一胎生的是儿子,大多数持这一观点的人称这是因为男孩“更好养”。

只有21%的应答者表示希望头胎生女儿,32%的人表示头胎生男生女都好。

19%的夫妇坦言他们更想要儿子是因为想让儿子传宗接代。
