Investing in a lifetime's love of handbags costs women the price of a car, according to a new report.
新发布的一份报告表明，女人一辈子花费在手提包上的钱加起来都足以买辆汽车了。毕竟手提包是她们的毕生所爱。
A Simply Be survey of 2,000 women found that the average UK woman splashes out on three new handbags a year at a cost of ￡32 each, spending over ￡6,000 - the equivalent of the price of a small car - over a life time.
综合性时尚品牌Simply Be针对2000名女性做的一项调查表明，英国女性平均每年购买3个新的手提包，平均每个包的花销为32英磅。如此计算，女人一辈子在买包上就要花费6000多英镑，和一辆小汽车的价格相当。
Handbags were also revealed as the favourite purchase of one in two women, with 53 percent saying they are the fashion item they most enjoy buying for themselves ahead of clothes, jewellery and even shoes.
调查还显示，每两名女性中，就有一名女性最爱购买手提包。有53%的受访者表示，买包让她们最为享受，衣服、珠宝甚至鞋子都不及手提包这项时尚单品。
Although celebrities and wealthy women may think nothing of forking out thousands for just one exclusive designer bag, 63 percent of women will wait patiently for a sale to buy the handbag they want, the study showed.
对于女名人和女富豪来说，花上几千磅买下一款设计师独家设计的包包不算什么。但调查中63%的女性则表示会耐心等到打折时再买心仪的那一款。
On average UK women own 14 handbags each, which includes three bags which are used regularly, two others used occasionally, five "best" bags brought out to go with particular outfits and four evening bags.
平均而言，每位英国女性都拥有14个手提包。其中有3个常用的，2个偶尔用的，5个最好的用于搭配特别的衣服，还有4个参加晚宴时用。
The most popular colour is black, followed by brown.

Jenni Banford of Simply Be said: "It is amazing how British women's love of handbags can add up to so many over the years.
时尚品牌Simply Be的詹妮.班福德说：“英国女性对手提包年深日久的钟爱居然会花费这么多，真的太不可思议了。”
"Although some of us will buy less than three new ones a year, many of us will certainly buy more.
“尽管我们中有一些人每年只买一两个新包，但大部分人每年买包的数量还是会超过3个。”
"There is something wonderfully satisfying about using a new bag for the first time.
“第一次把新买的包包拿在手上用时，女人们会产生一种特别的满足感。”
"It's easy to feel you need to own a good selection so you always have one to go with whatever outfit you are wearing."
