Research shows that attractive people have an easier time getting hired, get better performance reviews, are promoted more often and make more money than their less attractive counterparts. What Wong and Penner found is that being considered attractive enough to command a wage premium at work doesn't necessarily require perfect bone structure.
研究顯示,長(zhǎng)相漂亮的人比長(zhǎng)相一般的人更容易得到工作機(jī)會(huì)、業(yè)績(jī)?cè)u(píng)估更高、升職更頻繁、掙的錢(qián)更多.王和彭納還發(fā)現(xiàn),獲得薪水優(yōu)勢(shì)所需的魅力并不一定非要天生麗質(zhì)不可.
Job status is often affected by the amount of time a person spends getting ready in the morning. And this is especially true for women.
一個(gè)人的職位通常受早晨打扮時(shí)間長(zhǎng)短的影響.對(duì)女人尤其如此.
"Although appearance and grooming have become increasingly important to men, beauty work continues to be more salient for women because of cultural double standards with very strict prescriptions for women," the paper says.
論文中說(shuō),"盡管外貌和打扮對(duì)男人也越來(lái)越重要,但打扮對(duì)女人的重要性依然更加顯著,因?yàn)樯鐣?huì)文化對(duì)女人有雙重標(biāo)準(zhǔn),對(duì)她們的要求很?chē)?yán)苛."
For women, the premium they make for looking good at work is almost entirely explained by how well-groomed they are. For men, it has a little to do with grooming and a little to do with being naturally good-looking.
對(duì)女人來(lái)說(shuō),憑借外貌所取得的工作優(yōu)勢(shì)幾乎全部依賴于她們打扮得有多精心.對(duì)男人來(lái)說(shuō),這種工作優(yōu)勢(shì)和打扮有點(diǎn)關(guān)系,和天生長(zhǎng)得好看也有點(diǎn)關(guān)系.
"This really highlights how much work that women have to do to be considered attractive," Wong told The Huffington Post.
王對(duì)《赫芬頓郵報(bào)》說(shuō)："這項(xiàng)研究突出強(qiáng)調(diào),為增加自己在別人心目中的魅力,女人要付出多少努力."
For women, attractiveness is about performance, Prenner told HuffPost. "The economic returns aren't being given to people who have a certain kind of body, but rather to people who present their bodies in a certain kind of way," he said. "Attractiveness is not something that you have, but something that you do."
對(duì)女人來(lái)說(shuō),魅力就代表業(yè)績(jī),彭納對(duì)《赫芬頓郵報(bào)》說(shuō)道."經(jīng)濟(jì)回報(bào)并不會(huì)給那些擁有某種身體條件的人,而是給那些能以某種方式呈現(xiàn)身體條件的人,"他說(shuō)."魅力不是你天生擁有的,而是你創(chuàng)造出來(lái)的."
So I guess it's time for me to go reapply my mascara.
所以,我想我該再涂一次睫毛膏了.
