電視里我們常會(huì)看見(jiàn)這樣一個(gè)場(chǎng)景，一群女孩穿著短裙有說(shuō)有笑地在大街上走過(guò)，把路人們都看傻了，其實(shí)單個(gè)來(lái)看，她們的長(zhǎng)相并不出眾，可是湊在一起就顯得青春貌美，這就是“啦啦隊(duì)效應(yīng)”——cheerleader effect。

When you see a group of girls or guys and they look hot, but when you see each person individually they are NOT. This is called “cheerleader effect”.

當(dāng)你看見(jiàn)女孩或男孩成群結(jié)對(duì)在一起時(shí)，覺(jué)得他們看起來(lái)都很辣，但單個(gè)來(lái)看的話，就沒(méi)那么迷人了。這就叫作“啦啦隊(duì)效應(yīng)”。

To many, cheerleaders are beautiful and sexy. However, their perceived beauty is in part a visual illusion. Any one cheerleader seems far more attractive when she is with her team than when she is alone.

在許多人眼中，啦啦隊(duì)員們又漂亮又性感。然而，她們的美有一部分是視覺(jué)上的幻象。任何一個(gè)啦啦隊(duì)員在隊(duì)伍中看起來(lái)都要比單獨(dú)看時(shí)迷人得多。

New research shows that individual faces appear more attractive when presented in a group than when presented alone. Therefore if you want your profile picture on social media sites to be perceived as attractive, opt for a group shot with friends.

新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，人的臉?lè)旁谌后w中比單獨(dú)來(lái)看顯得更迷人。所以如果你想讓社交網(wǎng)站上的頭像顯得漂亮，就選一張和朋友的合照吧。

Example:

A: I wish I looked like those girls.

B: Honey that’s the cheerleader effect, if you see them individually you will realize they are just plain Janes.

甲：我希望我能長(zhǎng)得像那些女孩一樣漂亮。

乙：親愛(ài)的，那是啦啦隊(duì)效應(yīng)，如果你單個(gè)來(lái)看她們，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)她們長(zhǎng)相都很一般。
