研究:高个女性挣钱更多

　　It may be a tall order for some women to accept. But shorter females earn less than their loftier colleagues, a study claims.

　　对有些女性来说可能难以接受，但一项研究声称，个子较矮的女性比她们个子较高的女同事挣钱要少。

　　Those who stand at 5ft8in and above are twice as likely to earn more than ?30,000 a year – or up to ?5,000 more than their vertically challenged friends.

　　身高在5 英尺8 英寸（约1.73 米）或更高的女性年收入在3 万英镑以上的可能性是个子较矮的女性的两倍，或者说年收入比个子较矮的女性多5000 英镑。

　　The researchers asked 1,461 women over the age of 16 to give details about their salary and measurements. A fifth of those questioned who fell into the “tall” category said they earned ?30,000 and above compared with 10 per cent of women under 5ft8in.

　　研究者调查了1461 名年龄在16 岁以上的女性，询问了她们的薪水和身高情况。与10% 身高在5 英尺8 英寸以下的女性相比，被归入“高个”行列的五分之一的被调查者称她们的年收入在3 万英镑或更高。

　　At the same time, 20 per cent of the tall women said they saw their height as a source of “empowerment and authority” compared with just 5 per cent of shorter females.

　　与此同时，20% 的高个女性称她们将她们的身高视作“权利和权威”的源泉，而矮个女性只有5% 有这种感受。
