Can someone be beautiful and brainy at the same time?
有沒有人可以集美貌與智慧于一身呢？
Or is it that models or people who are physically attractive are not usually that smart? Does being more beautiful make you brainier, or does being brainy make you any less beautiful? According a recent research conducted in the US and UK, physically attractive men and women are much smarter than regular people. It goes on to say that attractive women have an IQ that is 11.4 points higher than average-looking women.
要么，模特或外表靚麗的人一般都不怎么聰明？到底是美貌讓人變聰明，還是聰明使人顯得更其貌不揚？美國和英國近期的一項研究顯示，外表出眾的男性和女性要比普通人更聰明。而且，漂亮女性的智商比一般女性高到11.4分點。
I don't buy that argument, because I feel their intelligence is because of them as people, not because of their pretty faces. We have all seen fantastic-looking women say the dumbest things. We have all heard Miss Universe contestants failing to answer questions that even five-year olds can. However, there are myriad of examples that prove that as a concept, beauty and brains can go hand in hand.
對此我無法茍同，因為我認為智慧是由“個體”決定的，而非得益于漂亮臉蛋兒。 大家都見過言談粗俗的漂亮女人，也都聽說過世界小姐候選人連5歲小孩都知道的問題也答不上來。不過，也有很多例子表明，美貌與智慧可以兼得。

She is a Harvard graduate. That's right, Harvard! Has contributed to scientific journals and even given a lecture on terrorism at Columbia. Wow! And she looks spectacular, doesn't she, and a phenomenal actress to top it.
她可是哈佛大學出身呢。沒騙你，真是哈佛大學！娜塔莉在科學雜志上發表過文章，甚至還在哥倫比亞發表過關于恐怖主義的演講。哇！而且她相貌出眾，絕對稱得上一位頂呱呱的女演員！

The X-Men hottie graduated from Columbia in English literature and is also fluent in Dutch, German, English and French. Now that's a combination that is hard to beat.
這位《X戰警》中的辣妹畢業于哥倫比亞大學英語文學專業，能流利講荷蘭語、德語、英語和法語。法米克智慧與美貌兼得，真是無懈可擊啊。

This Vampire-butt-kicking beauty is not just a pretty face. She graduated from Oxford. When she was younger, she also won the W.H. Smith Young Writers award for her creative writing. She speaks French and Russian. Man, is she talented.
這位主演吸血鬼的美女可絕不是花瓶兒。凱特畢業于牛津大學。年輕時，她還因個人創作榮獲W.H.史密斯青年作家獎。凱特會講法語和俄語。各位，她很有才吧？
