上天的寵兒

Can someone be beautiful and brainy at the same time？

有沒有人可以集美貌與智慧于一身呢？

Or is it that models or people who are physically attractive are not usually that smart？ Does being more beautiful make you brainier， or does being brainy make you any less beautiful？ According a recent research conducted in the US and UK， physically attractive men and women are much smarter than regular people. It goes on to say that attractive women have an IQ that is 11.4 points higher than average-looking women.

要么，模特或外表靚麗的人一般都不怎么聰明？到底是美貌讓人變聰明，還是聰明使人顯得更其貌不揚？美國和英國近期的一項研究顯示，外表出眾的男性和女性要比普通人更聰明。而且，漂亮女性的智商比一般女性要高11.4個百分點。

I dont buy that argument， because I feel their intelligence is because of them as people， not because of their pretty faces. We have all seen fantastic-looking women say the dumbest things. We have all heard Miss Universe contestants failing to answer questions that even five-year olds can. However， there are myriad of examples that prove that as a concept， beauty and brains can go hand in hand.

對此我無法茍同，因為我認為智慧是由“個體”決定的，而非得益于漂亮臉蛋兒。 大家都見過言談粗俗的漂亮女人，也都聽說過世界小姐候選人連5歲小孩都知道的問題也答不上來。不過，也有很多例子表明，美貌與智慧可以兼得。
