Researchers said good looks did not give women a similar advantage.

Andrew Leigh, the former economics professor at the Australian National University who co-authored the report, said: "Beauty can be a double-edged sword for women.
共同撰寫這一研究報告的安德魯?雷說：“美貌對女人而言可能是把雙刃劍。”雷曾是澳大利亞國立大學的經(jīng)濟學教授。
"Some people still believe good looks and intelligence are incompatible in women so a good-looking woman can't be that productive, but there's no dumb-blonde syndrome affecting men's pay."
“一些人仍然認為美貌和智慧在女人身上是不可共存的，因此漂亮的女人工作能力不會太強，但是這種‘無腦金發(fā)美人’綜合癥的看法卻不會對男人的薪水造成影響。”
He said that although he believed good-looking women may also earn more, the research did not support his theory.
他說，盡管他相信美貌的女人也可能掙更多錢，但這一研究結(jié)果并不支持他的理論。

現(xiàn)年28歲的前男模伊恩?米切爾擁有愛丁堡大學歷史系的一級學位，目前為一家化妝品公司工作。他告訴《星期日泰晤士報》說：“帥氣的長相給予你自信，而且我覺得人們會更快地和帥哥熱乎起來。”
The study, entitled Unpacking the Beauty Premium, was the largest exercise of its kind and repeated a survey from 1984 to see if the beauty premium had changed.
這一題為《揭秘美貌津貼》的研究是同類研究中規(guī)模最大的。此次研究重復(fù)了1984年一項調(diào)查的題材，以了解美貌津貼是否發(fā)生了改變。
Leigh said the research showed people in the workplace were "lookist" and he hoped the findings would encourage employers to reverse their prejudice.
