If offered three wishes, only 14 percent of teens ask for more wishes or fantastical powers.
如果能有三个愿望,只有14%的孩子会要求实现更多的愿望或拥有不切实际的力量。

The fanciful question - what would you do with three wishes? - revealed some other insights into the desires of teen patients receiving routine medical care at a clinic at the North Carolina Children's Hospital. Of 110 participants ages 11 to 18, an unexpected result arose in boys' and girls' answers.
还是那个引人遐想的问题:如果可以实现三个愿望你会许什么愿?这个问题也让人们窥见到了那些在北卡罗来纳儿童医院某诊所接受治疗小患者们的内心渴望。在11到18岁的110个患者中,男孩子女孩子的回答都出乎人们的意料。

"We went into the study with the typical stereotypes expecting to find a lot about girls' wishes to lose 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) or other appearance-related things, and boys wanting to be NFL stars or to play hoops," said Eliana Perrin, an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of North Carolina. She uses these survey questions to get to know her patients.
“我们做研究的时候抱着老一套的想法,即预计大多数女孩子会希望减掉9斤体重或其他跟外表有关的愿望,而男孩子们则希望成为橄榄球联盟明星或成为篮球明星,”北卡罗来纳大学小儿科副教授Eliana Perrin说道。她通过这些问卷问题来了解病患。

But the survey revealed no difference between boys' and girls' desire for a change of appearance (eight percent overall wished for it, with about half of these wishing to be thinner) and their desire for athletic success (16 percent overall). Other differences between the genders, however, were evident: Boys were more likely to make wishes for themselves than girls, and boys wished more for success, while girls wished more for happiness.
但是该调查并没有揭示出男孩和女孩在外貌改变方面(总共有8%的孩子希望自己更好看,而这当中一半人希望自己更瘦)以及希望成为体育健将方面(16%的孩子希望如此)有何不同。但是性别差异在其他方面就很明显了:男孩子为自己许的愿望更多一些,且男孩子更希望成功,而女孩子则希望更快乐。

Results showed that 85 percent of adolescents had wishes for themselves, 32 percent had wishes for others, and 10 percent had a wish for both themselves and others. While economics did factor in - privately insured teens were more likely than other children to have wishes for the world - the researchers found no differences in wishes by age or race and ethnicity.
结果显示,85%的年轻人给自己许愿,32%者为别人许愿,而10%的人许愿既为自己也为别人。经济因素使得生活有保障的孩子能为世界许下愿望,但是此外研究人员并没有发现年龄、人种、种族使得人们的愿望有何不同。

The survey, part of the American Medical Association's Guidelines for Adolescent Preventive Services program, also includes questions about medical history, health, school, safety and substance use.
这项调查是美国医学联合会青少年预防服务项目的一部分,其涉及的问题还有医学历史、健康、学校、安全以及物质使用等。

"In addition to the standard wishes 'to be a millionaire' or 'for a new car,' some teens provided poignant answers like 'I wish my mom didn't have cancer' or 'I wish I could solve global warming' - just really thoughtful expressions," Perin said.
“除了一些如‘成为百万富翁’或‘有辆新车’之类的大众愿望外,一些孩子的答案让人心痛,比如‘我希望我妈妈没得上癌症’或者‘我希望可以解决全球变暖的问题’——这些都是非常有想法的答案,”Perin回答道。

Perin and the other researchers hope to extend the same study to other sites where the survey is used. The results were presented May 2 at the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in Denver.
Perinatal和其他研究人员希望能将同样的研究项目拓展到其他调查涉及的网点中。而研究结果已于5月2日在丹佛召开的儿科学会年度会议上发布。
