By comparing your index and ring fingers, a neuroscientist can tell if you are likely to be anxious or whether you are likely to be a good athlete.
比較下你的食指和無(wú)名指，神經(jīng)科學(xué)家便可知，你是更容易焦慮還是更容易成為優(yōu)秀運(yùn)動(dòng)員。

If your index finger is longer than your ring finger, you are likely to be bad at sports but better at verbal memory tasks, a new study says.
一項(xiàng)新研究稱，你的食指若是比無(wú)名指長(zhǎng)，你有可能運(yùn)動(dòng)不佳，但語(yǔ)言記憶類任務(wù)會(huì)完成得更好。

But men and women with shorter index fingers compared to their ring finger are less anxious, better at mentally demanding 3D-rotation tasks and better at sport.
但食指比無(wú)名指短些的男性和女性不那么焦慮，更擅長(zhǎng)挑戰(zhàn)頭腦的3D旋轉(zhuǎn)任務(wù)，運(yùn)動(dòng)也更好。

Scientists have long known adults whose index finger is shorter than their ring finger are exposed to greater amounts of testosterone when they were in the womb.
科學(xué)家們一直就知道食指比無(wú)名指短的成人，在子宮里的睪丸素水平高。

The ratio between the ring and index fingers, known in scientists’ jargon as 2D and 4D, can reveal the levels of testosterone someone was exposed to in the womb.
食指和無(wú)名指的比例，用科學(xué)家的術(shù)語(yǔ)來(lái)說(shuō)，就是2D和4D，可以顯示出在子宮內(nèi)的睪丸素水平。

The greater level of testosterone means someone is likely to be a better athlete.
睪丸素水平越高，意味著更可能成為優(yōu)秀運(yùn)動(dòng)員。

But low levels of testosterone are associated with better abilities in verbal memory tasks, like remembering lists of words.
但睪丸素水平低的人語(yǔ)言記憶能力更好，如記憶單詞列表。

But, those who do not fall into either of these categories, with index and ring fingers the same length, are more likely to be faithful, according to a study last year.
但去年一項(xiàng)研究稱，對(duì)于那些兩種類別都不從屬的人而言，食指和無(wú)名指長(zhǎng)度一樣，更可能保持忠誠(chéng)。
