介绍:
介绍: 大家圣诞快乐,新年快乐哦~ 我们的第四期节目 Scientists conducted experiments that showed that men behave very differently towards high-heeled women. The results may please the purveyors of popular brand shoes, yet frustrate those who think stilettos encourage sexism. The study found if a woman drops a glove on the street while wearing heels, she is almost 50 percent more likely to have a man fetch it for her than if she&`&s wearing flat shoes. Another finding: A woman wearing heels is twice as likely to persuade men to stop and answer survey questions in the street. And a woman wearing high-heels in a bar waits half the time to get picked up by a man, compared to when her heel is nearer to the ground. The study&`&s author, Nicolas Gueguen, a behavioral science researcher, says that women&`&s shoe heel size exerts a powerful effect on men&`&s behavior, and that to put it simply, they make women more beautiful. conduct experiments 做实验,“做实验”的“做”一般都用conduct(do也可以,make则不用)。 purveyors 供应商,承办商 high-heeled adj. 高跟的 后面一般接shoes,即高跟鞋。此处的high-heeled women指穿高跟鞋的女人。 stiletto n. 细高跟鞋 sexism n. 性别歧视,大男子主义 pick up vt. 搭识,与…搭讪,专指以约会、发生性关系为目的的行为,衍生出相关概念pick-up line(专门用来搭讪的桥段)。 例句: I would never have guessed that he picked her up at a bar.
