浮躁2013

　　A study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology found that children， like adults,， inherently trust good-looking people more than unattractive ones。
　　一份發(fā)表于《心理學(xué)前沿》雜志的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),，孩子和成年人一樣會本能地更信任長相好看的人而非缺少魅力的人。

　　For the study,， a team of Chinese researchers recruited groups of 8-,， 10-， and 12-year-olds,， with 33 to 34 kids in each group （a similarly sized group of college students served as a control）,。 These pint-size volunteers viewed a series of 200 unfamiliar faces， categorizing each one as trustworthy,， untrustworthy,， or neither； a month later,， they came back to view the same faces,， this time rating them on attractiveness。
　　為了開展本項研究,，中國研究團隊招募了一群8歲,、10歲和12歲大的孩子，每組33至34人（數(shù)量相當?shù)拇髮W(xué)生組成控制組）,。小志愿者們觀看了一系列200 個不熟悉的面孔,，將它們分為“值得信任的”、“不值得信任的”和“無法判斷的”,；一個月之后,，他們又回來看了同樣的面孔，這次根據(jù)魅力值為它們劃分等級,。

　　Across age groups,， the two judgments were closely linked — the more attractive faces， in general,， were also considered more trustworthy,。 It‘s one more in a pile of similar findings about how kids make appearance-based judgments： Past research has shown， for example,， that preschool-age children seek out more attractive peers as playmates,， and that they prefer to rely on better-looking people as sources of information,。 Even kids as young as 3 can read a person’s face to make assumptions about their character。
　　不 論在哪個年齡組,，這兩項判斷都是密切相關(guān)的——更有魅力的面孔一般會被評定為更值得信任,。在此之前，已有大量類似實驗,，研究小孩子如何依據(jù)外表作出判斷： 比如,，過去的研究證明，學(xué)齡前兒童會尋找更有魅力的同齡人作玩伴,，而且他們更喜歡依賴長相更好看的人作為信息來源,；甚至連3歲小孩都能通過看人臉來猜測別 人的性格。

　　“The ‘beauty is good’ impression may gradually develop through children‘s daily experiences in witnessing the association between attractive individuals and trustworthy behaviors,，” the authors wrote,。
　　研究人員寫道：“在孩子的日常經(jīng)驗中，他們會目睹有魅力的個人與值得信任的行為之間的聯(lián)系,，而‘美是好的’這種印象也就逐漸形成了,。”

　　As we have previously noted,， beautiful people have it easier in many ways： They tend to be better paid,， more confident， and better liked — even by the tiniest of humans,。
　　正如我們此前提到過的,，漂亮的人在許多方面都會過得更容易一些：他們往往薪資更高，更有信心,，更討人喜歡——甚至連最小的孩子都更喜歡他們,。（滬江英語）
