最新调查：戴眼镜助求职成功

 　　Never mind a crisp shirt or a firm handshake. If you want to impress a potential employer, put on a pair of spectacles.

　　不用担心衬衫是否挺括，或者握手是否有力了，如果你想给未来的老板留下好印象，就戴一副眼镜吧。

　　Job hunters are more likely to be hired if they wear glasses to their interview, according to a study.

　　最新研究显示，面试时带眼镜的求职者受聘机率更大。

　　A third of adults think spectacle-wearers look more professional, while 43 per cent think they appear more intelligent.

　　三分之一的成年受访者认为戴眼镜的人看上去更职业，另有43%的受访者认为这样看上去更聪明。

　　And 40 per cent of those with 20-20 vision would consider wearing clear lenses if it would improve their chances of getting a job.

　　而有40%的视力极佳的受访者认为，如果戴眼镜会更好找工作，他们会考虑戴平光镜。

　　Another six per cent would put on glasses to feel fashionable, and nine per cent think spectacles make the wearer look more attractive, the study by the College of Optometrists¹ found.

　　还有6%的受访者认为戴眼镜看上去更时尚，9%的受访者认为戴眼镜让人更具魅力。该项调查由验光师学院开展。

　　Psychology² professor Cary Cooper, from Lancaster University, said: 'It is not surprising that businesses want to employ intelligent staff but the idea that intelligent people wear glasses is an old stereotype³ that has not gone away.'

　　兰卡斯特大学的心理学教授卡里·库珀说：“老板们都想雇到聪明的员工，这一点儿也不奇怪。但聪明的人都戴着眼镜这种刻板印象仍然存在。”

　　'In fact, glasses are a poor indication of intelligence because you can have bad eyesight for a number of reasons and then choose to wear contact lenses.'

　　“事实上，戴眼镜却并不能代表一个人很聪明，因为造成视力不好的原因有很多，而且人们也可以选择戴隐形眼镜。”

　　'It is possible that some people have more self-confidence and change their behaviour when they put on glasses, which could in itself improve their chances at interview.'

　　“也许有些人戴上眼镜后会变得更加自信，并且改进自己的行为举止，而这本身就增加了他们面试受雇的机率。”
