Social networking sites are more popular with UK internet users than pornographic ones, according to new figures from Experian Hitwise.
一项来自互联网研究公司Experian Hitwise的最新调查数据显示，在英国网民当中，社交类网站要比色情类网站更受欢迎。
The internet research company says that in January sites like Facebook accounted for 12.46% of all online traffic.
这家互联网研究公司的数据显示，像facebook这类社交网站的访问量占到了一月份英国互联网总流量的12.46%。
That’s the equivalent of 2.4 billion hits or one eighth of all web visits.
也就是说，社交网络站点在一月份获得了24亿的点击量，而每八次的站点访问中，就有一次是在访问社交类网站。
In comparison entertainment websites, including pornographic ones, accounted for 12.18% of traffic.
与此同时，包括色情站点在内的娱乐站点的访问流量则占到了一月份英国互联网总流量的12.18%。
It’s the first time social networking has overtaken entertainment in terms of popularity.
这是社交类网站首次在在受欢迎程度上超越娱乐类网站。
Of those, social network site Facebook accounted for more than half, or 56%, of visits.
而在这些社交网站中，facebook则占据了56%的流量比重。
Robin Goad, Experian Hitwise’s Research Director said: “While social networks of course compete amongst themselves for users, many of those users have a presence on multiple networks.
Experian Hitwise的研究主任 Robin Goad说，“由于各个社交网站之间必然有着紧张的用户争夺战，所以很多用户大都会有多个隶属于不同社交网站的账户。”
“One in every eight people leaving a social network visits another one immediately after.
“而每八个离开某一社交网站的人中，都会有一个紧接着会立即去访问另一家社交网站。”
“Facebook, for example, is a key source of traffic for many smaller social networks, while almost a fifth of people leaving Twitter go on to visit another social network”.
“比如，facebook就是其他很多较小的社交网站的主要流量来源，而几乎五分之一的离开twitter这家网站的人，会继续去访问另一家社交网站，进而为这家网站带来网络流量。”
The news comes days after Facebook announced more than 30 million people in the UK had signed up as members.
这则消息于Facebook宣布其英国用户注册量达到3000万的几天后发布。
