憤世嫉俗者賺錢少

People who take a dim view of the world and those around them earn less, research shows.

一項研究發現，對於世界和周圍人們持悲觀看法的人，賺的錢更少。

The difference is far from insubstantial, with the most cynical taking home $305 a month less, on average, than the most trusting types.

這一區別非常明顯：那些最憤世嫉俗的人，比最信任他人的人平均月薪少305美元(約合1892元人民幣)。

Employees who believe others to be exploitative and dishonest are likely to avoid collaborative projects and to forgo the related opportunities, said a psychologist at the University of Cologne in Germany.

德國科隆大學一位心理學家表示：那些認爲別人會利用自己、別人都不可靠的僱員，傾向於避開合作項目，從而放棄相關機會。

People who hold a more benevolent view of human nature, in contrast, are more likely to benefit from joining forces with others, he said.

相比之下，對人性看法更樂觀的人們，則更容易在與他人的合作過程中獲益。
