BEIJING — China’s vibrant technology scene is searching for people like Shen Yue. Qualifications: Must be attractive, know how to charm socially awkward programmers and give relaxing massages. 北京——充满活力的中国科技行业正在寻找像申悦这样的人。要求：必须漂亮，知道如何吸引不善于社交的程序员，会放松按摩。 Ms. Shen is a “programmer motivator,” as they are known in China. Part psychologist, part cheerleader, the women are hired to chat up and calm stressed-out coders. The jobs are proliferating in a society that largely adheres to gender stereotypes and believes that male programmers are “zhai,” or nerds who have no social lives. 申悦的职业在中国被称为“程序员鼓励师”。这个职业兼有心理学家和啦啦队员的性质，这些女性被雇来与程序员搭讪，缓解他们的巨大压力。在一个很大程度上固守性别刻板印象、相信男性程序员是“宅男”或没有社交生活的书呆子的社会中，这种工作正在不断增加。 |
