聖誕禮物大調查:女孩最愛芭比娃娃

Barbie remains the most sought after toy for girls

Barbie has held onto her crown as queen of girls' holiday wish lists for the fifth year but boys are going more high-tech, according to a poll of must-have toys.

The poll of 7,982 US consumers by the company BIGresearch showed Barbie remained the most sought after toy for girls, with the rival Bratz dolls in second place, generic dolls in third place followed by Dora the Explorer and Disney Princess.

But for boys there was a bit of a shake-up in the annual list with last year's favorite, TMX Elmo, losing out to Transformers, like the Autobots and Decepticons, made popular by the movie of the same name.

Coming second on the boys' wish-list was video games overall and the top 10 also included two games consoles - the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft's XBox 360.

The National Retail Federation, a retail trade association which commissioned the annual survey, said the best advice for parents was to shop early so they did not miss out on their children's favorites.

"It's always a race for parents to find the year's sought after toys," said NRF President and CEO Tracy Mullin in a statement.

Newcomers to the girls' list this year were toys involving Disney singing star Hannah Montana, and the popular Webkinz animals that come with a special code to give access to Webkinz World online.

Cars, Spider-Man and LEGOs also featured in the boys' top 10 wish lists.

一項有關孩子必備玩具的民意調查顯示,“芭比娃娃”連續第五年被評為女孩最心儀的聖誕禮物;而今年男孩們更青睞“高科技”玩具。

該項由“比格”調查公司開展的調查共有7982位美國消費者參加。調查結果顯示,“芭比娃娃”仍然是女孩們最渴望得到的玩具,其次是“貝茲娃娃”,“普通娃娃”名列第三,“朵拉探嶮者”和迪斯尼公主位居其後。

而男孩的“口味”則發生了點小變化。去年的“冠軍”“T.M.X.艾尒默”被“變形金剛”係列玩具取代,如“汽車人”和“霸天虎”。今年,“變形金剛”玩具因同名電影《變形金剛》而人氣大增。

“電子游戲”名列“男孩最心儀的聖誕禮物榜”第二位,此外,“任天堂”和“微軟XBOX360”兩種游戲機也躋身該排行榜前十名。

該項一年一度的調查由美國國傢零售聯合會委托開展。該行業協會建議,傢長們最好儘早埰購,以防買不到。

美國國傢零售聯合會主席及首席執行官翠西?穆林在一份聲明中說:“每年,傢長為了給孩子們搶購玩具,弄得都跟‘打仗’似的。”

今年,法文翻譯社,“女孩最心儀的聖誕禮物榜”上出現了兩位新成員,它們是迪斯尼的歌星漢娜?蒙塔娜以及網娃絨毛玩具,網娃玩具附帶登錄網娃社區(Webkinz World online)的密碼。(譯者注:用密碼登錄後,可以在社區裏領養一只寵物)。

汽車、蜘蛛人和“樂高”玩具拼圖躋身男孩最心儀的禮物榜前十名。
