老人喜欢抱怨，一代不如一代，这回他们还真说对了。新研究发现，从1975年出生的那一代人开始，平均每代人智商成绩下降7个百分点。年轻人真的越来越傻了吗？

Young people's IQ scores have started to deteriorate after climbing steadily since World War Two, a new study has found.

一项新研究发现，二战以后，年轻人的智力水平曾经历过一个稳步上升的阶段，此后，年轻人的智力水平开始不断下降。

The fall, which equates to about seven points per generation, is believed to have begun with those born in 1975, according to the first authoritative study of the phenomenon.

对智力下降现象的首个权威研究称，智力下降是从1975年出生的那一代人开始的，平均每代人智商成绩下降七分。

The drop in scores marks the end of a trend – known as the Flynn effect – which has seen average IQs rise for the past 60 to 70 years by roughly three points a decade.

智商成绩的下降标志着弗林效应的终结，弗林效应指过去六七十年间，平均每十年智商成绩上升三分。

Scientists have described the results as 'impressive' but 'pretty worrying', according to the Times.

据《泰晤士报》报道，科学家称研究结果“令人震撼”，但“相当令人担忧”。

The decline is to do with a difference in the way languages and maths are taught in schools, scientists have suggested.
