A UK study has found that skirts give a better first impression and are more likely to lead to success in the workplace, the Daily Mail reported.	据英国《每日邮报》报道，一项研究发现，女士穿裙子给人的第一印象更好，而且更容易在职场取得成功。
Women were considered more confident and more likely to earn a higher salary when wearing a skirt instead of trousers.	相比起穿裤子，女人穿裙子被认为更有自信，也更有可能赢得高薪。
Karen Pine, who co-led the study at the University of Hertfordshire, said the findings contradicted previous research that suggested women should dress more like men to succeed in the workplace.	主持这一研究的英国赫特福德大学的凯伦•佩恩教授称，这一发现与之前的研究结论相左，之前研究都认为女人应当穿得更像男人，以取得职场上的成功。
Pine said: "First impressions are formed rapidly and are often highly accurate. After seeing a face for just one second, people make judgments about another's personal and occupational attributes. Women generally have a wider choice of dress style for work than men, but still have to maintain an identity that balances professionalism with attractiveness." (China.org.cn October 4, 2011)	佩恩教授说：“第一印象形成得很快，而且通常很准。在看了一个人的脸仅仅一秒钟后，人们就会对其个性和职业特征做出判断。女性在职业装的可选范围上通常比男性更大，但女性择装仍然需要在美丽和职业之间做出一种平衡。”
