They like to think that their superior brainpower means that others are left behind. But left-handed people may not be right. 左撇子们一般喜欢认为他们优良的智力意味着许多人被他们甩在了后面。但是左撇子可能不一定是正确的。 A professor reckons he has dispelled the myth that ‘lefties’ are more likely to be gifted. In fact, he says left-handers’ brainpower is depleted to the same extent as someone born prematurely. 一个教授认为他已经将关于左撇子更有可能天赋异禀的神话给推翻了。事实上，他强调左撇子和那些早产的人--他们的智力的减少程度是一样的。 The finding is unlikely to find favour with the 10 per cent of the population who favour their left hand, including David Cameron, Barack Obama, Angelina Jolie, Paul McCartney and Prince William. 然而这个调查结果不太可能得到占这个世界上人口百分之十的“闻名世界”左撇子们的好感，这里的名单包括大卫·卡梅隆，巴拉克·奥巴马，安吉丽娜·朱莉；保罗麦卡特尼和王子威廉等。 Professor Mike Nicholls, from Adelaide’s Flinders University – who is left-handed – studied 5,000 five-year-olds. 来自阿德莱德的弗林德斯大学的左撇子教授Mike Nicholls调查了5000个5岁的孩子，针对他们使用左右手的情况做了调查。 He examined their performances at school and listened to what teachers said about them and came to the conclusion that ‘left-handers tend to do worse as a group than right-handers’. |
