Moving mistakes are so common that Americans are guilty of making multiple slip-ups per move, according to new research.

根据最新研究，美国人在搬家时犯的错误非常普遍，以至于他们在每次搬家时都会犯好几次错误。

Turns out, stressful last-minute packing is the number-one moving mistake among Americans. Results revealed that 45% of Americans have experienced the stress that comes with packing at the last minute.

事实证明，在最后时刻打包行李是美国人最常犯的搬家错误。调查结果显示，45%的美国人在打包行李的最后一刻感到了压力。

“It’s no surprise Americans find moving stressful and that more than a third cited issues with furniture as a frequent moving mistake,” said Andy Prochazka, CMO of Article, who commissioned the survey. “The survey illustrates furniture delivery and setup have a significant impact on the moving experience.”

委托开展该调查的Article公司首席营销官安迪•普罗查兹卡说:“美国人觉得搬家很有压力，这并不奇怪，超过三分之一的人将家具问题列为频繁的搬家错误。”“调查显示，家具的交付和布置对搬家体验有重要影响。”

Further, moving with others can be a real struggle. Three in 10 respondents said that moving with children was the most difficult, while another 21% revealed moving with a significant other or spouse was extremely challenging.

此外，与他人一起搬家可能是一场真正的斗争。十分之三的受访者表示，和孩子一起搬家是最困难的，另有21%的人表示，和另一半或配偶一起搬家极具挑战性。

Americans hate moving so much that they would be willing to give up some of their favorite things to avoid it. Forty-three percent of people studied revealed they’d be more willing to give up alcohol than to deal with a move.

美国人为了避免搬家肯放弃的不仅有酒精，37%的人愿意放弃巧克力，这样他们就不用收拾东西了，36%的人宁愿在车管所排队也不愿面对搬家的压力。

但搬家也不全是厄运和悲观。82%的受访者表示，他们能够从搬家的错误中吸取教训，不再重蹈覆辙。

Prochazka added, “There are ways to make the process easier and a lot less painful, such as opting for furniture assembly services or selecting companies that provide on-the-spot troubleshooting if you encounter an issue at delivery. Choosing the right business will help alleviate some of the stress that comes with furniture related moving mistakes so you can relax in your new home faster.”

相关人员建议:“其实有很多方法可以让这个过程更简单、更轻松，比如选择家具组装服务，或者选择那些在送货时遇到问题可以提供现场故障排除服务的公司。选择正确的业务将有助于减少搬家错误中带来的一些压力，这样你就能更快地在新家放松下来。”
