美麗的職場女性,其職業能力常常處在一個尷尬的境地:當她們事業有成的時候,人們總是將成功歸功于她們的容貌,她們的工作業績在人們的眼里會因為長得美麗而大打折扣。在美女當道的今天,有誰會對其說不呢?

And today's last word in business is about the downside of good looks.
A new study from the University of Colorado says attractive women get overlooked when applying for some kinds of jobs. Those jobs are in traditionally male professions such as prison guards, tow-truck drivers and mechanical engineers. When given a stack of photos, study participants usually said the attractive women were less suitable for the jobs.
Though one of the study's authors said there's plenty of upsides to beauty. Attractive women and men usually tend to make more money and get better performance reviews.
