Never mind a crisp shirt or a firm handshake. If you want to impress a potential employer, put on a pair of spectacles.

除了整洁得体的衣着，有力和稳健的握手，想要成就一次完美的面试，并打动未来的雇主，也许，你还需要戴上一副让你看起来更加文质彬彬的眼镜。

Job hunters are more likely to be hired if they wear glasses to their interview, according to a study. A third of adults think spectacle-wearers look more professional, while 43 per cent think they appear more intelligent.

通过一份调查研究显示，佩戴眼镜参加工作面试的求职人员被雇佣的几率更高。有三分之一的受访者表示，戴眼镜会使人看起来更具专业资质，而有43%的人则表示，戴眼镜的人看起来更加聪明。

And 40 per cent of those with 20-20 vision would consider wearing clear lenses if it would improve their chances of getting a job. Another six per cent would put on glasses to feel fashionable, and nine per cent think spectacles make the wearer look more attractive, the study by the College of Optometrists¹ found.

若能增加求职成功率，约有40%视力健全的人愿意选择佩戴平光眼镜。这项调查的研究人员还发现，百分之六的人自认戴眼镜会让人看起来更加时髦，百分之九的人则认为眼镜能使人看起来越发具有吸引力。

Psychology² professor Cary Cooper, from Lancaster University, said: ‘It is not surprising that businesses want to employ intelligent staff but the idea that intelligent people wear glasses is an old stereotype³ that has not gone away.

来自卡里兰开斯特大学心理学家加里-库伯表示，“这点并不奇怪，雇主们都希望能找到具有聪明才智的雇员，而眼镜与之所产生必然关联影响并为消失。”

‘In fact, glasses are a poor indication of intelligence because you can have bad eyesight for a number of reasons and then choose to wear contact lenses.

“但事实上，眼镜或也可能成为流露‘不聪明’迹象的标志，你纵有各种理由患上近视，但为何偏偏不选择一幅隐形眼镜。”

‘It is possible that some people have more self-confidence and change their behaviour when they put on glasses, which could in itself improve their chances at interview.’

“戴眼镜或许能是人们感觉更有自信，并且改变一些行为习惯，这有可能增加他们的求职成功率。”
