Attractive fathers do not pass their looks on to their sons but they will hand their good looks down to their daughters, research shows.

一项研究表明，帅爸的好相貌能遗传给女儿，但不见得会传给儿子。

In a study of family photographs, psychologists Professor David Perrett and Elisabeth Cornwell - now at the University of Colorado have found that while both father and mother can influence the attractiveness of their daughters, the couple's good looks do not necessarily¹ contribute to the attractiveness of their son as an adult.

科罗拉多大学的两位心理学教授大卫·佩雷特和伊丽莎白·康沃尔通过对一些家庭照片进行研究后发现，女孩的相貌一般会受到父母两人的影响，但男孩就不见得了，尤其是他们成年之后。

Handsome men with masculine² looks are likely to pass on masculine features, but not facial attractiveness.

研究发现，帅爸爸也许能将他的阳刚特质传给儿子，但他英俊的相貌却遗传不了。

The theory suggests it is not unusual for attractive parents to produce a beautiful daughter while failing to pass on the same good looks to a son.

这一理论说明，帅爸靓妈能生出漂亮女儿但不一定能生出帅气儿子其实很正常。
