Psychology 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 stereotype that has not gone away.
兰开斯特大学的心理学教授卡里?库珀说:“其实也没什么奇怪的，老板们都想 雇到聪明的员工，但聪明的人都戴着眼镜这种老套的印象仍然存在。”
“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.
“事实上，戴眼镜根本不能证明一个人很聪明，因为你能找出一大堆造成视力 不佳的理由，而且人们也可以选择戴隐形眼镜。”
