告诉我你的名字,我就能猜出你长什么样子。听上去和算命一样玄乎,但这是有科学根据的。研究人员发现,你的名字所附带的社会成见会影响并逐渐改变你的容貌,所以,父母们给孩子取名字时可要多长点心啊!
Choosing a name for a child is often a headache for parents, but new research shows that picking well could be more crucial than previously thought.
为孩子取名字对于父母而言通常都是件头疼事,但是新研究发现,取个好名字比你原想的还要重要。
Academics have found that your first name actually changes the way you look, a phenomenon dubbed ‘The Dorian Gray’ effect, after Oscar Wilde’s eponymous hero.
学者们发现,事实上你的名字能改变你的长相,这一现象被称为“道林•格雷效应”,得名于奥斯卡•王尔德笔下的小说人物道林•格雷。
Just as Gray’s wicked deeds were etched onto the facial features of his portrait, so the cultural stereotypes linked to a name come to be written on the faces of their bearers.
正如格雷的桩桩恶行记录在了他的肖像画中,和一个名字相关的文化成见也会表现在名字主人的脸上。
For example someone called ‘Bob’ is expected by society to have a rounder more jovial face than a man called ‘Tim’. That expectation eventually leads ‘Bobs’ to become more gregarious and jolly, while ‘Tims’ may appear more pinched and reserved.
