高个子比矮个子更容易成功
What’s up guys, for Complex News I’m Alex Hudgens. Science is once again officially telling us something that we already know-- greater height confers advantage in life. Aka, short people have a slightly harder life than tall folks. A recent study on military men at Camp Pendleton confirmed an increased risk of depression for men who are 5’8” or shorter.
小伙伴们，大家好，欢迎收看Complex新闻，我是Alex Hudgens。科学再次正式告诉我们一个众所周知的消息：高个子在生活中占有优势。相反，身高较矮的人在生活中则比较艰难。最近对彭德尔顿军营的军人们进行的研究证实，身高低于5尺8寸的人抑郁的风险增加。
Valery Krupnik, the lead clinician for the study,told LiveScience that, “When people find themselves outliers for reasons beyond their control, like physical attributes, they face a challenge in addition to all of the challenges average people face.”
这项研究的首席临床医师Valery Krupnik告诉LiveScience，“当人们发现由于某些失去自己控制的原因，比如身体素质，他们会觉得自己很挫败，他们面临超过普通人的挑战。”
For men in the military, being shorter doesn’t help with the physical demands of being in the armed forces. However, vertically challenged civilians have issues, too. The CDC reports that the average height of an American male is 5’9” and guys who fall under that number are more likely to face setbacks in career prospects and dating partners. Shorter men get teased more often and are more likely to struggle with self-esteem issues. Clinical psychologist Daniel Freeman of Oxford University even notes that greater height is associated with a slightly lower risk of suicide. A Swedish study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry reports that suicide risk drops 9% for every two-inch increase in height.
对于军队的人来说，身高较矮意味着他们不能达到军队的身体素质要求。然而，身高不理想的平民也面临着一系列问题。疾控中心报告，美国男性的平均身高是5英尺9英寸，低于这个身高的男性在职业前景和约会方面都面临挫折。身高较矮的人更经常被取笑，更可能面临自尊心受伤害的情况。剑桥大学临床心理学家Daniel Freeman甚至指出，较高的身高与较低的自杀风险有关联。发表在美国《精神医学杂志》上的一份瑞典研究报道称，身高每高2英寸，自杀的风险降低9%。
Professionals across the board in scientific study agree that height is associated with various aspects of happiness and success due to microaggressions that shorter people deal with in everyday life. Freeman also notes that a person who is 6’0” tall is likely to earn $150,000 more over the course of a 30-year career than someone who is 5’4” because the taller you are, the more likely you’ll do better at school and then have career success.
科学研究界许多专业人士认可身高与幸福和成功的多个方面有关，这是因为较矮的人在处理日常生活方面有所不足。Freeman还指出，在30年的职业生涯中，身高超过6英尺的人比身高低于5尺4寸的人多赚15万美元。因为你的身高越高，你在学校的表现可能会越好，也更有可能获得事业的成功。
As a fun-sized person myself, I can tell you that it is still possible to have career success,dating success, and overall happiness. Self-confidence does not have to be based on your height. But, to be honest, it does get frustrating when you need someone to get things down for you.
本身作为身高不足的人，我可以告诉你，即使身高不理想，也仍有可能在事业，约会和整体生活中获得成功。自信不一定源于身高。但是，坦白地说，当你必须仰视别人的时候，心情确实有点沮丧。
Stay strong, shorties. You got this.
矮个子们，保持强大吧。你能做到的。
