There's really a connection between height and success? 身高和成功真的有关吗？ It's huge. Tall people make an average of $789 per inch per year (for every inch above a person of average height) and this has been shown repeatedly in a set of four large-scale salary survey studies over 50 years in both the U.K. and the U.S. 关系很大。高个子的人每高出平均身高1英寸（2.54厘米）每年就多赚789美元。过去50年中这个数字在对英国和美国所做的四项大型薪酬调查研究中都反复出现。 Numerous studies show that when bosses are given real and fictitious resumes of two competent employees, there's about a 70% chance that bosses will pick the taller person for the job. In follow-up studies where the managers were asked to rate the employees coming in to the job, they gave flying color reviews to the tall people, which is hilarious because none of the employees had even done anything yet. The clear implication of this is that tall people are perceived as very competent before they ever display proof that they are. 大量研究表明，当面对两个称职的求职者递来的有真有假的简历时，70%的情况下老板都会选择个子高的那一个。在后续调查中，每当经理被问及如何评价即将上任的员工，他们总会对高个子流露溢美之词。这点实在是很滑稽，因为这些员工还什么都没有做。从这不难看出人们先入为主地认为个子高的人能力也卓尔不群。 |
