　　婴儿出生月份决定未来职业

　　The time of year a baby is born can shape what profession they will embark¹ on in later life, a new study has suggested.一项新研究表明，婴儿出生的月份会影响他将来从事的职业方向。

　　Being born in a certain month appears to indicate the statistical² likelihood³ of what job a person will end up with, the study by the Office for National Statistics⁴ found.

　　英国国家统计局的研究发现，有数据显示，出生在哪个月将影响其未来从事的职业。

　　Researchers have uncovered that the month in which babies are born could also affect everything from intelligence to length of life.

　　研究人员发现，婴儿出生的月份还会对从智力到寿命的各个方面产生影响。

　　A child born December is more likely to become a dentist while someone whose birthday falls in January will tend to a debt collector, they found.

　　他们发现，十二月出生的小孩将来更可能成为一名牙医，而生日在一月份的小孩则更可能成为一名收债人。

　　A February birth appears to increase the chances of being an artist while March babies appear to go on to become pilots.

　　出生在二月份的小孩成为艺术家的几率更高，而三月份出生的宝宝似乎更可能成为飞行员。

　　Meanwhile, April and May are said to have a fairly even spread of professions, births in the summer months mean a much lower chance of becoming a high-earning football player, doctor or dentist.此外，四月和五月出生的小孩从事各类职业的几率都比较均等，在夏天出生的小孩成为高收入的足球运动员、医生或牙医的几率要低得多。

　　The study was derived⁵ by researchers who analysed the birth months of people in 19 separate occupations using information from the last census⁶, the Daily Mail reported.

　　据《每日邮报》报道，研究人员分析了从事19类不同职业的人的出生月份，从而得出这一结论。该研究采用了来自上一次人口普查的信息。

　　Although these trends may be difficult to explain, correlations⁷ between birth months and specific health problems have a scientific basis.

　　尽管这些趋向性也许难以解释，但是出生月份和特定健康问题之间的关联却是有科学根据的。

　　Spring babies are at greater risk of illnesses including schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, asthma⁸ and autism.

　　春天出生的小孩患精神分裂症、老年痴呆症、哮喘和自闭症等疾病的风险会更大。

　　They may also be less clever than classmates born in other parts of the year.

　　他们可能也会不如其他月份出生的同学聪明。h
