For years Britons have mocked the Germans for their lack of a sense of humour.
多年來，英國人嘲笑德國人缺乏幽默感。
But now it seems our Germanic cousins are having the last laugh because British women travelling abroad have voted German men the sexiest they have met on their travels.
但現在我們的日爾曼遠親似乎贏得了最後的勝利，因為到海外旅遊的英國女性，票選德國男性是她們在旅途中遇到最性感的。
While British men rated the women of Croatia as the most attractive in a survey of 5,000 Europeans carried out by lastminute.com.
英國男性則將克羅埃西亞女性評為最有吸引力的女性，這項調查是由lastminute.com針對5000名歐洲人所進行。
The research also showed that Britons have a better knowledge of the world than their European counterparts.
這項研究也顯示，英國人比其他歐洲人了解這個世界。
The poll also showed that 18 per cent of Britons have been on holiday to more than 10 different countries in the last 10 years.
這項調查也顯示，18%的英國人過去10年來曾到過10個以上的不同國家度假。
Also, 23 per cent said they were bored of the standard package holiday and looked for more adventure in their holidays now, while 45 per cent felt that their travels abroad had made them more open to other cultural experiences when back home.
也有23%認為，覺得一般的跟團旅遊很無聊，現正盼望假期中能有更多冒險活動；45%則認為，出國旅遊讓他們回到國內後，對其他的文化經驗更能抱持開放態度。
