调查：英国游客穿着最差

British people are the worst-dressed holidaymakers in Europe followed by Germans, while the Italians and French are the smartest, according to a survey released¹ on Friday.

上周五公布的一项调查显示，在欧洲各国的游客中，英国游客穿着最差，其次是德国游客，意大利和法国游客穿着最得体。

Britons travelling abroad have failed to shake off their socks-and-sandals image and have been voted the worst-dressed holidaymakers in Europe.

The findings² came despite 36 percent of Britons -- who are famed for fashion blunders³（大错） like wearing socks with sandals（凉鞋，便鞋） -- admitting that they dress more adventurously⁴ than usual while on a break.

The survey also looked at how good people from different countries are at switching off from the pressures of work while taking a break.

A massive⁵ 87 percent of travellers from France said they checked their work emails while on holiday compared to over a quarter of Britons. That figure is despite France's reputation as a less workaholic（醉心于工作的） country than Britain.

And while 93 percent of Britons try to speak the local language when abroad, some 20 percent of French travellers say they do not make any effort at all.

The survey by travel website TripAdvisor quizzed 2,717 European travellers last month.
