Take a look at a bunch of women's OkCupid profiles and you'll be hard pressed to find one that says, “I'm looking for a guy who makes me laugh, loves trying new foods.”
去看一眼一群女人在丘比特网站(约会网站)上的简介,你很难发现有人会说,“我在寻找一位能让我大笑并且喜欢尝试新食物的男人。”
And yet new research suggests that storytelling prowess is a desirable quality in a guy — possibly because it signals that they're high-status. Men, on the other hand, don't seem to be fazed by women's ability to tell a good tale.
但是,新研究指出,讲故事的能力是男性值得拥有的一项品质——可能因为这表明他们地位高贵。但是,男人似乎对女人讲故事的能力无动于衷(所以我们可以理解为讲段子的男人会受欢迎但是女子段子手却不么==)。
In one study, undergrads read descriptions of men and women, some of which specified that the man or woman tells great stories. Results showed that women found men who were good storytellers more attractive as long-term partners than men who were only decent storytellers, or men whose bios didn't mention storytelling ability at all.
在一项研究中,大学生们阅读了男人们和女人们的简介,其中一些指明了该男子或女子擅长说段子。研究结果表明,女士们认为,作为长期伴侣,擅长讲段子的男人比只会讲得体的故事,或是个人简介中丝毫没有提到过讲段子能力的男人更有吸引力。
The authors suggest that “storytelling ability reflects a man's ability to gain resources. Good storytellers may be more likely to influence others or to gain positions of authority in society.”
作者指出,“讲故(duan)事(zi)的能力反映了一位男士获取资源的能力。优秀的段子手更有可能影响他人,或是成为社会上的权威人士。”
