What Would You Want Most on a Desert Island?
This month's survey shows people worldwide have a natural understanding of what they would need most if left alone on a desert island: Another person. And one they know well. Respondents (调查对象) in all 16 countries surveyed said their spouse (配偶) or partner would be their first choice to have with them. Perhaps this makes sense: An MP3 player can't help you find drinking water, your dog can't help you start a fire and who knows if George Clooney or Penelope Cruz has taken courses in wilderness survival training? Let's just hope the SOS sign you two build gets spotted sooner rather than later!
"My husband, of course! George Clooney wouldn't think I'm as pretty as my husband does!"
Roseane, 42, Brazil
"My MP3 player. I would not want my loved ones, including my pet, to be left alone like this."
Co-Co, 28, China
"My partner should be there to listen to me complain about the fact that we are left alone on an island — probably due to some error he made."
Julia, 25, Jordan
Spouse / Partner: 82% of the South African women surveyed would most want their husband / partner with them, while just 45% of the Indian women surveyed agreed.
Clooney / Cruz: 27% of Russian men surveyed would want a celebrity along. Only 2% of the Mexican men agreed. Less than 18% of women worldwide chose this option.
MP3 Player: This was second choice overall, particularly among Malaysian men, with 32% saying they'd most want an MP3 player with their favorite songs. Just 5% each of Australian and American men agreed.
Dog: In France, 28% of respondents older than 45 would most want to be left alone with their dog, while not a single Russian or Malaysian in that age group surveyed would most want Fido along.
