  科学美国人60秒中文翻译:

  This is Scientific American — 60-Second Science. I'm Erika Beras. 这里是科学美国人——60秒科学。我是艾丽卡·贝拉斯。

  Got a minute? 有一分钟时间吗?

  Turns out, education pays off. 事实证明,教育是值得的。

  That's true whether you're a doctor or a lawyer—or even a mobster, according to a new study. 一项新研究表明,无论你是医生、律师、甚至是暴徒,这都是事实。

  Researchers compared the FBI files of more than seven hundred Italian-American mafia men from the '30's to the '40's to other nonmob men from the 1940 census— 研究人员将美国联邦调查局档案中700余名30到40岁的意大利裔美国黑手党和1940名普查中的非暴徒进行了对比,

  some were neighbors, others were first and second generation Italian-American immigrants and some were U.S. born white men. 其中有些人是邻居,其他人是第一代和第二代意大利裔美国移民,还有一些是在美国出生的白人男性。

  They found that mobsters tended to have a year less schooling than their neighbors— 研究人员发现,暴徒接受教育的年限往往比他们的邻居少一年,

  but for those who stayed in school a little longer, they tended to do better economically. 而那些在学校学习时间更长的人,在经济方面的表现往往更好。

  More education increased their income—or moolah—by about 8 percent, on average. 平均来说,接受较多的教育将他们的收入或者说资金提高了约8%。

  The Study is the Economics of Education Review. 这项研究结果发表在《教育经济学评论》期刊上。

  Of course, this shouldn't be surprising. 当然,这种结果不足为奇。

  The mafia is essentially a corporation, involving complex organizational and numerical expertise. 从本质上说,黑手党是一个企业,涉及复杂的组织以及数字技能。

  Weighing grams and running numbers takes more than basic math skills. 称重和运算数字需要的不仅仅是基本的数学技巧。

  And researchers found the mobsters with the highest return were the ones involved with more complicated schemes— 研究人员发现,收入最高的暴徒通常会参与最为复杂的方案,

  think embezzling, racketeering and loan sharking. 比如贪污、敲诈勒索和放高利贷。

  Their profit was about three times higher than the mobsters involved with criminal activity like robberies. 这些暴徒获得的利润大约是实施抢劫等犯罪活动歹徒的三倍。

  So study up! No matter what you plan to do, seems like the more you study, the bigger the payoff. 所以,好好学习吧!无论你计划做什么事情,你学习的越多,获得的收益也就越多。

  Even if you ain't nothing but a wiseguy. 即使你是聪明人。

  Thanks for the minute for Scientific American — 60-Second Science Science. I'm Erika Beras. 谢谢大家收听科学美国人——60秒科学。我是艾丽卡·贝拉斯。
