高個(gè)子比矮個(gè)子更容易成功
What’s up guys, for Complex News I’m Alex Hudgens. Science is once again officially telling us something that we already know-- greater height confers advantage in life. Aka, short people have a slightly harder life than tall folks. A recent study on military men at Camp Pendleton confirmed an increased risk of depression for men who are 5’8” or shorter.
小伙伴們,大家好,歡迎收看Complex新聞,我是Alex Hudgens 。科學(xué)再次正式告訴我們一個(gè)眾所周知的消息:高個(gè)子在生活中占有優(yōu)勢(shì) 。相反,身高較矮的人在生活中則比較艱難 。最近對(duì)彭德?tīng)栴D軍營(yíng)的軍人們進(jìn)行的研究證實(shí),身高低于5尺8寸的人抑郁的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)增加 。
Valery Krupnik, the lead clinician for the study,told LiveScience that, “When people find themselves outliers for reasons beyond their control, like physical attributes, they face a challenge in addition to all of the challenges average people face.”
這項(xiàng)研究的首席臨床醫(yī)師Valery Krupnik告訴LiveScience,“當(dāng)人們發(fā)現(xiàn)由于某些失去自己控制的原因,比如身體素質(zhì),他們會(huì)覺(jué)得自己很挫敗,他們面臨超過(guò)普通人的挑戰(zhàn) 。”
For men in the military, being shorter doesn’t help with the physical demands of being in the armed forces. However, vertically challenged civilians have issues, too. The CDC reports that the average height of an American male is 5’9” and guys who fall under that number are more likely to face setbacks in career prospects and dating partners. Shorter men get teased more often and are more likely to struggle with self-esteem issues. Clinical psychologist Daniel Freeman of Oxford University even notes that greater height is associated with a slightly lower risk of suicide. A Swedish study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry reports that suicide risk drops 9% for every two-inch increase in height.
對(duì)于軍隊(duì)的人來(lái)說(shuō),身高較矮意味著他們不能達(dá)到軍隊(duì)的身體素質(zhì)要求 。然而,身高不理想的平民也面臨著一系列問(wèn)題 。疾控中心報(bào)告,美國(guó)男性的平均身高是5英尺9英寸,低于這個(gè)身高的男性在職業(yè)前景和約會(huì)方面都面臨挫折 。身高較矮的人更經(jīng)常被取笑,更可能面臨自尊心受傷害的情況 。劍橋大學(xué)臨床心理學(xué)家Daniel Freeman甚至指出,較高的身高與較低的自殺風(fēng)險(xiǎn)有關(guān)聯(lián) 。發(fā)表在美國(guó)《精神醫(yī)學(xué)雜志》上的一份瑞典研究報(bào)道稱,身高每高2英寸,自殺的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)降低9% 。
Professionals across the board in scientific study agree that height is associated with various aspects of happiness and success due to microaggressions that shorter people deal with in everyday life. Freeman also notes that a person who is 6’0” tall is likely to earn $150,000 more over the course of a 30-year career than someone who is 5’4” because the taller you are, the more likely you’ll do better at school and then have career success.
科學(xué)研究界許多專業(yè)人士認(rèn)可身高與幸福和成功的多個(gè)方面有關(guān),這是因?yàn)檩^矮的人在處理日常生活方面有所不足 。Freeman還指出,在30年的職業(yè)生涯中,身高超過(guò)6英尺的人比身高低于5尺4寸的人多賺15萬(wàn)美元 。因?yàn)槟愕纳砀咴礁撸阍趯W(xué)校的表現(xiàn)可能會(huì)越好,也更有可能獲得事業(yè)的成功 。
As a fun-sized person myself, I can tell you that it is still possible to have career success,dating success, and overall happiness. Self-confidence does not have to be based on your height. But, to be honest, it does get frustrating when you need someone to get things down for you.
本身作為身高不足的人,我可以告訴你,即使身高不理想,也仍有可能在事業(yè),約會(huì)和整體生活中獲得成功 。自信不一定源于身高 。但是,坦白地說(shuō),當(dāng)你必須仰視別人的時(shí)候,心情確實(shí)有點(diǎn)沮喪 。
Stay strong, shorties. You got this.
矮個(gè)子們,保持強(qiáng)大吧 。你能做到的 。
