Ireland Home to Lonely Surfers
The Google Trends service, which works out how many times users in a particular region search for specific terms, has pinpointed "lonely" as the search term most frequently entered by Irish users. The service looks at a sample of Google web searches in order to formulate its results, using IP address information to pinpoint location -- and the outlook is not too bright for Ireland's online population.
Despite a booming economy, Dublin came out top of the "lonely" searchers when the list was broken down into cities, indicating that the capital may have a high proportion of internet users who feel isolated. Melbourne, Australia, came second, while Auckland, New Zealand, came third.
Google显示：爱尔兰人是世界上最孤独的人
爱尔兰可能正在因经济持续增长和被评为世界上最适合居住的国家而沾沾自喜，但Google搜索引擎上的记录发现，爱尔兰人是世界上最孤独的人。
据路透社5月15日报道，尽管经历一个多世纪的经济萧条后，爱尔兰人正迎来经济的复苏。同时，在2004年被《经济学家》杂志评为世界上最适合居住的国家后，爱尔兰开始迎来大批移民。然而，爱尔兰人在网上最常输入的一词却是“孤独”。
Google搜索引擎上的记录显示，爱尔兰首都都柏林的人成为在网上输入“孤独”一词最多的人，其次是澳大利亚的墨尔本和新西兰的奥克兰的人。
