谁会对职场美女说不呢?

美丽的职场女性，其职业能力常常处在一个尴尬的境地：当她们事业有成的时候，人们总是将成功归功于她们的容貌，她们的工作业绩在人们的眼里会因为长得美丽而大打折扣。在美女当道的今天，有谁会对其说不呢？

And today's last word in business is about the downside of good looks.

A new study from the University of Colorado says attractive women get overlooked when applying for some kinds of jobs. Those jobs are in traditionally male professions such as prison guards, tow-truck drivers and mechanical engineers. When given a stack of photos, study participants usually said the attractive women were less suitable for the jobs.

Though one of the study's authors said there's plenty of upsides to beauty. Attractive women and men usually tend to make more money and get better performance reviews.
