　　囧研究：脸宽的男人更富有？

　　By ELLIE ZOLFAGHARIFARD

　　Men with wide faces have been getting a bad reputation lately.

　　现如今宽脸男性的名声很差。

　　Scientists had previously³ suggested large faces were prone⁴ to being more aggressive, untrustworthy and deceitful.

　　之前的研究结论：宽脸男人偏强势性、不可靠、诡诈多端。

　　But now there may be good news for the likes of Alan Sugar and Wayne Rooney. Researchers in the U.S. claim people with wide faces are more likely to get a bonus compared with their thin-faced rivals.

　　但是对于喜欢艾伦?休格和韦恩?鲁尼的人来说，现在有好消息了，因为他们获奖金的可能性很大，据美国研究人员称，宽脸的男人比窄脸的男人获得奖金的可能性大。

　　Fuller faced workers earn ?1,300 more than those with narrow faces when asking for a bonus, the study found.

　　宽脸男性的奖金比窄脸男性同事的奖金高1300英镑，经研究发现。

　　However, researchers said this comes with a compromise. Wide faced people fared less well when it came to business negotiations.

　　不过，研究人员说，宽脸男人在商务谈判时的表现相对较差。

　　And men who are more attractive are better collaborators compared to less attractive men, they said.

　　与不帅的男人相比，男人越帅越好合作，他们说。

　　Previous research based on the 'facial width-to-height ratio' found individuals behave more selfishly when interacting with men with wider faces.

　　之前对脸部的宽高比做了研究，与脸宽的男人打交道时，发现他们的行为表现偏自私。

　　This research claims that while men with wider faces are more likely to lie and cheat, they tend to lead more financially successful firms.

　　脸宽的男性爱说谎不可靠，他们在公司的收入往往比较高。

　　'We negotiate everyday whether we think about it or not,' said University of California's Professor Michael Haselhuhn.

　　我们每天都在谈判，我们是否想过这个问题，”加州大学的教授迈克尔?哈泽尔胡恩说。

　　'It’s not just the big things, like a car or a home. It’s what time your kid is going to go to bed or what you or your spouse⁵ are going to have for dinner.

　　不只是像买辆车或买个房子这类的事情才是大事情。你的孩子什么时候睡觉，你们的晚饭吃什么这类的事情也算大事情。

　　'These studies show that being a man with a wider face can be both a blessing⁶ and a curse and awareness⁷ of this may be important for future business success.'

　　“男人长一张宽脸可谓是喜忧参半，这对未来在商业上的成功可能会很重要。”

　　The study by University of California’s Riverside’s School of Business Administration set up four experiments to reach their conclusion.

　　加州河滨大学工商管理学院在这项研究中做了四个实验才得出他们的结论。

　　The first involved bonus negotiations while the second found men with wider faces selling a chemical plant negotiated a higher sale price than men with a more narrow face.

　　第一个实验的谈判内容是关于奖金方面的谈判；在第二个出售化学装置的实验中，发现脸宽男性的出售价格高于脸窄男性的出售价格。

　　When those same wide-faced men were in the buyer role they negotiated a lower price than the narrow-faced men.

　　这些脸宽的男性转换成买方，比脸窄的男性给出的购买价格低。

　　In the third negotiating scenario⁸, in which a creative solution was needed to bridge a gap on a property deal wider-faced men were less successful in the negotiation¹.

　　在第三个谈判场景中，需要在房地产交易的一个创造性解决方案上拉开差距，脸宽的男性在这方面的谈判不太成功。

　　In the final scenario the more attractive men were more successful in the negotiation in the property deal.

　　在最后的第四个谈判场景中，越帅的男人房地产交易的谈判越成功。

　　The study was published online in the journal 'The Leadership Quarterly.'

　　该研究发表在在线杂志《领导者季刊》上。
