研究顯示:愛打扮的女人掙得更多
Women who spend a lot of time on their looks make more money
There's a scene in the 2006 movie "The Devil Wears Prada" where Anne Hathaway's character, Andrea Sachs, gets a makeover that literally makes her better at her job.
2006年上映的電影《穿普拉達的女魔頭》中有一個場景,安妮•海瑟薇扮演的安德莉亞•薩克斯因為精心打扮而改頭換面,從而在工作上有了更出色的表現(xiàn).
A trip to the fashion closet and the beauty department at Runway, the film's thinly veiled stand-in for Vogue magazine, transforms Andy from an ugly-duckling failure of a second assistant to the beautiful, capable confidante of the magazine's formidable editor, Miranda Priestly.
在電影中,安迪(安德莉亞的昵稱)去了趟Runway公司的時裝衣帽間和美容產(chǎn)品區(qū),就擺脫了失敗的丑小鴨形象,從一個二級助理變成了雜志社人人敬畏的米蘭達•普利斯特利主編身邊美麗、能干的貼身助手.電影中的Runway公司影射的是《Vogue》雜志社.
The scene is a pivotal moment in the plot — looking good is part of the job at a fashion magazine, after all — but it also nicely illustrates the real-life fact that when women in any profession spend more time on their appearances, it actually does cause people to take them more seriously.
這一幕場景是故事的轉(zhuǎn)折點——畢竟,美麗的外表是在時尚雜志工作的一部分,但是它也恰好說明一個事實:在真實生活中,無論女人從事何種職業(yè),如果她們多花一些時間打理外表,別人就會更認真地對待她們.
That's according to a new study from sociologists Jacyln Wong at the University of Chicago and Andrew Penner at the University of California, Irvine, who found that attractiveness is a key factor in how well young professionals between the ages of 24 and 32 do at work.
此結(jié)論來源于兩位社會學家做的一項新研究.來自芝加哥大學的杰克琳•王和來自加利福尼亞大學歐文分校的安德魯•彭納發(fā)現(xiàn),魅力是影響24到32歲年輕職場人士工作表現(xiàn)的關(guān)鍵因素.
Wong and Penner's work, which will appear in the June issue of the journal Research in Social Stratification and Mobility, found that attractiveness helps both men and women at work — but not in the same ways.
王和彭納的這項研究將發(fā)表在《社會分層與流動研究》6月刊上,這份研究發(fā)現(xiàn),魅力對男人和女人的工作都有很大幫助,但方式不同.
While a man can realize some professional benefits from being naturally attractive, for a woman it depends almost entirely on how much effort she puts into makeup, grooming and other efforts to look good.
男人靠天生的漂亮面孔就能獲得職場優(yōu)勢,但對女人來說,要獲得這一職場優(yōu)勢幾乎全靠在化妝品、打扮和其它方面下工夫.
