American Kids Want to Be YouTube Stars While Chinese Kids Want to be Astronauts, Survey Shows

調查顯示，美國孩子想成為 YouTube 的明星，而中國孩子則想成為宇航員

A new survey claims that children from the United States and United Kingdom would prefer to be YouTube stars while those from China want to be astronauts.

一項新的調查顯示，英國和美國的孩子們更想成為 YouTube 這類社交媒體的網紅，而中國的孩子們則想要成為宇航員。

As part of the celebration for the 50th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 Moon Landing, Harris Poll on behalf of LEGO had conducted a survey that asked 3,000 children to choose from five different professions that they would like to have when they grow up. The choices available included: astronaut, musician, professional athlete, teacher, or vlogger/YouTuber.

為了慶祝阿波羅11號歷史性登月行動50周年的紀念日，樂高公司委托哈里斯民意調查機構開展了一項調查，讓3000名兒童從五種職業中選擇他們長大后想從事的職業。其中包括：宇航員、音樂家、運動員、老師和網紅。

The result of the survey, which asked kids from ages 8 to 12, showed that those from the US and UK aspire to be either vloggers or YouTubers with results showing 29% and 30% respectively. Those in China, however, chose astronaut as their desired profession with 56% of the kids choosing this answer.

這項針對8歲至12歲兒童的調查結果顯示，29%的美國孩子和30%英國孩子都想成為網紅。而在中國，有56%的孩子選擇了宇航員作為他們理想的職業。

Although the survey does not necessarily reflect the career aspirations of all of the children from each of these countries, the result somehow reflects a growing trend among Generation Z, according to Business Insider.

據《商業內幕》報道，雖然該項調查并沒有完全反映出這些國家所有兒童的職業理想，但它在一定程度上反映出了95后一代的趨向性。

It was reported that 75,000 teens came to this year’s three-day VidCon along with their parents to hear from their favorite YouTube stars. YouTuber DeStorm Power, while speaking to BI, said that most kids he spoke to all want to become online personalities.

據報道，有7.5萬名兒童和他們的父母一起參加了今年為期三天的美國網紅節，他們參加這次活動的目的就是為了見到自己最喜歡的 YouTube 網紅。YouTube 網紅 DeStorm Power 在接受《商業內幕》的采訪時表示，他接觸過的大部分孩子都想成為網紅。

“Every time I go to schools, the most said thing from 90% of kids is, ‘I want to be a YouTuber,’”he said. “They want to be social-media stars.”

他說：“每次我去學校，90%的孩子最常說的一句話就是‘我想成為YouTube網紅’，他們都想成為社交媒體上的明星。”
