　　大脑也分性别？

　　人们常说，这是一个男人主宰的世界。

　　It is often said it is a man's world.

　　所以，当研究者发现，多赚钱的关键方法就是采取男性的思维方式，你应该不会感到惊讶。

　　So it should perhaps be no surprise that the key to earning more is to think like a man.

　　一项研究发现，拥有所谓“雄性”大脑的人比拥有“雌性”大脑的人赚的钱更多。

　　A study found that people with a so-called male brain have higher salaries than those with a female brain.

　　研究显示，从整体上看，拥有“雄性大脑”的人往往有更高的经济收益。

　　The results revealed that, overall, those with 'male' brains earned more.

　　不过，并不是所有的男人都有“雄性大脑”，也不是所有的女性都有“雌性大脑”。

　　However, not all men have a 'male brain', and not all women have a 'female brain'.

　　平均而言，拥有“雄性大脑”的男性比拥有“雌性大脑”的男性经济收益高出9.8%，而拥有“雄性大脑”的女性比拥有“雌性大脑”的女性经济收益高出6.3%。

　　On average, a man with a 'male brain' earned 9.8 per cent more than one with a 'female brain', while a woman with a 'male brain' earned 6.3 per cent more.

　　研究结果还表明，在特定的行业中，如果一位男性或女性具有与同性迥异的移情式思维或分析式思维，他们也能获得积极的经济奖励，比如在社会福利行业中拥有雌性大脑的男性职员，或在银行业中拥有雄性大脑的女性职员。

　　'The results also suggest that men and women in certain occupations face positive wage rewards when their empathising and systemising traits are atypical to their gender, for example men with a female brain working in social care or women with a male brain working in banking.'
