新概念雙語：人可貌相：智商與顏值成正比 成功人士臉更寬

Our strongest personality traits can be deduced simply from our facial features, scientists believe。

科學家認為，他人能夠通過我們的面部特征輕易推算出我們最顯著的人格特質(zhì)。

Research shows those with higher IQs are usually good-looking, while those with wider faces are usually perceived as being more powerful and successful。

研究顯示，智商高的人通常面容姣好，面部較寬的人則通常被認為更有權(quán)、更成功。

There is even evidence that sexual deviancy can be picked up from facial features, with paedophiles more likely to have minor facial flaws。

甚至有證據(jù)證明能夠通過面部特點看出性癖異常，有戀童癖的人更可能有不太嚴重的面部缺陷。

The new evidence means the judgments we make when we meet strangers - which is usually concluded in less than a tenth of a second - are often accurate。

這項新的證據(jù)意味著我們遇到陌生人時做出的判斷——這種判斷通常在十分之一秒內(nèi)就完成了——常常是準確的。

Mark Fetscherin, professor of international business at Rollins College, Florida, has recently found a link between company profits and the shape of its chief executive's face。

佛羅里達州羅林斯學院的國際商貿(mào)學教授馬克-費斯凱林(Mark Fetscherin)近期發(fā)現(xiàn)公司利潤和首席執(zhí)行官的臉型之間存在聯(lián)系。

In his new book, CEO Branding, Mr Fetscherin describes how the executive tended to have wider faces than the average male。

在他的新書《CEO Branding》中，費斯凱林先生描述了高級主管的臉頰通常比正常男性更寬。

A wider face means that the person is viewed as dominant and successful, Mr Fetscherin said. He also found a positive link between that shape face and the profits of the company。

費斯凱林先生說：“更寬的臉頰意味著這個人看起來更有權(quán)勢、更成功。”他還發(fā)現(xiàn)了寬臉和公司利潤之間的正比聯(lián)系。

He told The Sunday Times: 'Facial width-to-height ratio correlates with real world measures of aggressive and ambitious behavior and is associated with a psychological sense of power.'

他告訴周日泰晤士報(The Sunday Times)：“臉的寬高比例與真實世界對攻擊性行為和有野心的行為的衡量標準存在相關(guān)性，與心理上的權(quán)力感也有關(guān)聯(lián)。”

British researchers found a similar result when they analysed the results of FTSE chief executives。

英國研究人員在分析富時指數(shù)公司(FTSE)高管的業(yè)績時也得出了相似的研究結(jié)果。

Jamie Ward, professor of psychology and his co-author Shuaa Alrajih, suggested the underlying factor was high levels of testosterone, which is linked to aggression and the pursuit of dominance. Testosterone can also influence bone and muscle structure。

心理學教授杰米-沃德(Jamie Ward)以及他的合著者舒阿-阿爾拉吉(Shuaa Alrajih)認為其潛在因素是高水平的睪丸激素，這種激素與攻擊性以及追求控制權(quán)有關(guān)。睪丸激素還能影響骨骼和肌肉構(gòu)造。

A typical example might be advertising agency boss Martin Sorrell, who runs WPP, and sportsmen such as Vinnie Jones。

一個典型的例子可能是WPP廣告公司的老板馬丁-索瑞爾(Martin Sorrell)以及運動員，比如說維尼-瓊斯(Vinnie Jones)。

Elsewhere, scientists also believe people can decipher negative attributes from a person's face. At Cornell University, scientists showed subjects mugshots of those who were guilty and innocent and found the majority could tell them apart。

另外，科學家還認為人們能夠從一個人的臉上辨認出不好的品性。美國康奈爾大學(Cornell University)的科學家們向研究對象展示了一些罪犯和無罪的人的面部照片，發(fā)現(xiàn)大多數(shù)人能夠?qū)⑺麄儏^(qū)別開來。

Researchers have also found that those with a high IQ tend to be better looking。

研究人員還發(fā)現(xiàn)高智商的人通常顏值也高。

An example is Kate Beckinsale, who won poetry awards as a teenager, then studied Russian literature and English at Oxford。

以凱特-貝金賽爾(Kate Beckinsale)為例，她十幾歲就獲得了詩歌方面的獎項，后來到牛津大學學習俄羅斯文學及英語。
