Good looks hinder job hunt?

长相出众求职也遭歧视?

Researchers have found one area that being pretty makes life a challenge - securing yourself a boring, low paying job. Researcherscarried out four experiments involving more than 750 participants. Participants were shown profiles of two potential job candidates that included photos, one attractive and one unattractive.

研究人员发现，颜值高的人在应聘一份枯燥乏味的低薪工作时也会因此遭到人生挑战。研究人员对750多名参与者进行了四组实验。研究人员给参与者展示两份带有照片的求职者简历，其中一张长相出众，而另一张则其貌不扬。

Participants were then asked a series of questions designed to measure their perceptions of the job candidates and whether they would hire these candidates for a less-than-desirable job. The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative and the more desirable jobs included things like a manager, project director and IT internship.

随后，研究人员向参与者提出一系列问题，来衡量他们对求职者的看法，以及他们是否会聘用这些求职者来做一份不太理想的工作。不太理想的工作包括仓库工人、管家、客服代表，更理想的工作包括经理、项目经理、IT实习生等。

In all experiments, participants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job and more likely to hire the attractive candidate for the more desirable job. The research suggests the established view that attractive candidates are favored when applying for jobs that might be limited to high-level.

在所有实验中，参与者都明显更不愿雇佣颜值高的求职者从事不太理想的工作，而更愿意雇佣他们从事更理想的工作。这项研究表明，有吸引力的求职者在应聘工作时更受青睐这一既有看法可能仅适用于高级的工作。

Renters down on dream home

半数欧洲人放弃买房梦

Nearly half of Europeans who do not own their own home have given up hope of ever doing so, with pessimism highest among Britons and Germans, the results of a survey showed. The poll by Dutch bank ING found 48% of respondents in 13 European countries who did not own their own home said they probably never would.

一项调查结果显示，欧洲近半数无房一族已对买房不抱希望，其中以英国人和德国人最为悲观。荷兰银行ING进行的调查发现，在13个欧洲国家的无房受访者中，有48%的人称他们或许永远不会有房。

Hopes for being able to afford to buy a home were lowest in Britain and Germany, where about 56% of non-homeowners in both countries believed they would never be able to buy. House prices have long been out of reach for many in Britain and even with uncertainty over Brexit, data showed prices picking up speed last month.

英国人和德国人对自己能买得起房子最没信心，这两国约56%的无房民众认为自己永远没能力买房。对许多英国人来说，房价早已遥不可及。数据显示，即使脱欧带来了不确定性，上个月房价仍在加速上涨。

In Germany, though relatively cheap compared with other European countries in the past, house prices have risen sharply in recent years, partly as record low European Central Bank rates have encouraged households to take on debt. Average real estate prices in cities including Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Frankfurt have increased by more than 60% since 2010, the Bundesbank estimated.

在德国，虽然过去该国房价相较其他欧洲国家相对便宜，但近年来却大幅上涨，欧洲央行创纪录的低利率鼓励家庭举债是造成这种情况的部分原因。德国央行估计，柏林、汉堡、慕尼黑和法兰克福等城市的平均房价自2010年以来已上涨超过60%。

'Eternal disc' to be created

俄罗斯正研发'永久光盘'

Russian scientists are completing work on super-stable optical memory technology to create a disc capable of storing information for one million years under certain conditions. They created aprototype of an "eternal disc" and will conduct research and development work in 2018-2020, said Ivan Glebov, head of the Moscow-based laboratory of lasernanostructuring in glass at the Foundation for Advanced Research Projects.

俄罗斯科学家即将完成超级稳定的光存储技术的研发工作，以创造一种在特定条件下能将数据存储100万年的光盘。位于莫斯科的先进研究项目基金会激光纳米结构玻璃实验室主任伊万•格列博夫表示，他们制造出了"永久光盘"的原型，并将在2018-2020年开展研发工作。

格列博夫正在检验这种“永久光盘”的原型样品（右下）的稳定性。

The new storage device is made of quartz glass. To record data, afemtosecond laser delivers extremely short and intense light pulses onto a piece of quartz. The disc is resistant to fires, radiation andelectromagnetic waves. The disc will be capable of storing up to 1 TB of data in the future. Presently, the researchers are striving for 25 GB/disc datacapacity .

这种新型存储设备由石英玻璃制成。飞秒激光器将极短且强的光脉冲传送到一片石英上以刻录数据。该光盘耐火、防辐射还防电磁波。未来，该光盘将可存储高达1TB的数据。目前，研究人员力争使每个光盘的数据容量达到25GB。

Artist paints photos

韩画家画作逼真赛照片

South Korean artist Kim Young-sung has a very special talent, he can paint photographs. That may sound like a gross exaggeration , but just take a look at what he's able to produce with a paintbrush, someacrylic and mountains of talent and patience.

韩国艺术家金暎性有一项非常特殊的才能，他能画出"照片"。虽然听起来可能有些夸张，但只要看看他用画笔、丙烯酸树脂颜料和满腹才华与耐心绘制的画作，就能说明一切。

You can stare at his incredibly detailed painting for hours and still not be able to tell them apart fromhigh-resolution digital photos. Kim is so good at what he does that, sometimes, he himself has trouble telling his hyper-realistic paintings from the photos that inspired them.

即使你盯着这些精细到令人难以置信的画作看上个把小时，仍然无法将它们与高分辨率的数码照片区别开来。金暎性太擅长这种技法，以至于有时连他自己都难以区分哪张是他的超写实画作，哪张是激发灵感的照片。

Once, he actually mistakenly sent the press the file of a photo he took, instead of the painting he did, because they looked virtually identical to the naked eye. The 43-year-old artist, who was born in Seoul, but currently lives in New York, is one of the world's most highly-regarded hyper realistic painters, earning between $10,000 and $130,000 per artwork.

有一次，他真的错将自己拍的照片文件而不是他的画作发给了媒体，因为从肉眼看来，二者几乎别无二致。现年43岁、生于首尔、但现居纽约的金暎性是世界上最受推崇的超写实画家之一。金暎性每幅画能赚1万至13万美元。

目标和梦想的10大差别Ten Diffenence Between Goal and Dream

Are you waiting for your dreams to come true and change your life? I am sorry to tell you that dreams don’t come true. Rather, it is your goals that can forever change your life. You need to set goals to turn your dreams into reality.你正在等待你的梦想成真借以改变你的生活吗？我很遗憾地告诉你，梦想实现不了了。事实上，可以永远改变你的生活的是你的目标。为了把你的梦想变成现实，你需要设定目标。

Don’t confuse dreams and goals. Dreams are easy. They are free, too. However, dreams by themselves are just that… dreams. They are imaginary. And they don’t produce tangible results. You need to turn your dreams into action. You need goals to make the visions of your dreams real.不要混淆梦想和目标。梦想来的容易，而且还是免费的。然而，梦想本身只是梦想，它们是虚构的。而且他们产生不了触手可及的结果。你需要把你的梦想变成行动，你需要目标使你的梦想变成现实。

Dreams can inspire you, but goals can change your life. Goals are all about action. Goals change you and can change your life. What will it take to turn your dreams into goals?梦想可以激励你，但目标可以改变你的生活。目标都是关乎行动的，目标可以改变你，也可以改变你的生活。怎样才能把你的梦想变成目标？

Here are 10 Big Differences Between Goals and Dreams:这里是目标和梦想之间的10大差异：

1. Goals are something you are acting on. Dreams are something you are just thinking about. Goals require action. Dreams can happen without lifting a finger, even while you are asleep.目标是指你可以采取的行动，梦想只是你的思考。目标则需要行动。梦想，不用动动手指头就能拥有，甚至在你睡着的时候。

2. Goals have deadlines. Dreams are just, well, dreams. Goals must have a deadline. They have a time limit. Dreams can go on forever. Many people maintain dreams their entire lives without ever reaching them.目标有最后期限，梦想只是梦。目标必须有一个期限，它们有一个时间限制。梦想可以永远继续下去。事实上，许多人一生都在梦想，却从来没达到梦想。

3. Dreams are free. Goals have a cost. While you can daydream for free, goals don’t come without a price. Time, money, effort, and sweat. How will you pay for your goals?梦想是免费的，目标是要付出代价的。虽然您可以免费做白日梦，但不付出努力，是无法实现目标的。时间、金钱、努力和汗水，你愿为你的目标付出什么？

4. Goals produce results. Dreams don’t. Want to change your life? Your job? Your status in life? Goals can do that. A good friend of mine made six figures on the e-book he published. He did that. Had it stayed as a dream, his life would have been as it always was.目标产生结果，梦想则不会。想要改变你的生活？你的工作？你的生活状态？目标可以实现这些。我的一个好朋友靠发表他的电子书赚了几十万。他做到了。如果只是作为一个梦想，他的生活依旧是老样子。

5. Dreams are imaginary. Goals are based on reality. You may dream of being Superman, but that is probably not going to happen. Goals are about what you can accomplish. They are grounded in the reality of our world. Goals should be big, but not supernatural.梦想是虚构的，目标是建立在现实中的。你可以梦想成为超人，但这不太可能发生，而目标则是关乎你可以完成的事，它们是以我们的现实世界为基础的。目标应该宏伟，但不会超越自然。

6. Goals have a finish line. Dreams never have to end. Dreams can go on forever. They don’t have to have an ending point. Goals must have a specific outcome.目标有终点，梦想从来不会结束。梦想可以永远继续下去，它们不需要有终点。目标必须有一个特定的结果。

7. Dreams can inspire you. Goals can change your life. Dreams can bring you motivation. They can inspire you. But, goals can change your life forever. 梦想可以激励你，目标可以改变你的生活。梦想可以带给你的动力，它们可以激励你。但是，目标能永远改变你的生活。

8. Goals must have focus. Dreams don’t. Dreams can be drifting, ever-changing thoughts. Goals must be laser-focused. They must be specific and they must be always on your mind.目标必须有重点，梦想可以没有。梦想可以是漂浮的、千变万化的想法。目标必须是有聚焦的重点的，它们必须非常具体，同时必须时刻在你的脑子里。

9. Goals require hard work. Dreams just require your imagination. Dreaming is easy. Almost everyone has a dream. But, fewer people have goals. Goals are hard and they require hard work.目标需要努力工作，梦想只需要你的想象力。拥有梦想是容易的，几乎每个人都有一个梦想。但是很少有人设立目标。目标是艰难的，而且它们需要我们的努力工作才能实现。

10. Dreams stretch your imagination. Goals stretch you. Dreaming leads to bigger dreams. They stretch the limits of your imagination. But, goals stretch you. They increase your skills, your abilities, and change you forever.梦想拓展你的想象力，目标会拉伸你。梦想让你越做越大，它们延伸你的想象。但是，目标会拉伸你。它们提升你的技能、你的能力，而且改变你的一生。

Sometimes it only takes one step to change a dream into a goal. Yet, it can take years to take that goal to the finish line. Always dream big, but make sure your goals are just as big. Because dreams don’t come true… but goals do.有时让梦想变成目标只需要一个步骤。然而，实现这一目标可能需要数年时间。梦想要大，你的目标一定也要大。因为梦想不能成真…...但目标可以。
