食指与无名指：男人雄风的“泄密者”
食指与无名指：男人雄风的“泄密者”
Hands may say more about their owners than commonly thought, especially in the case of men。
从双手便可以了解一个人的情况，有时候还能会透露一些不通寻常的“秘密”，这样的情况在男性身上尤为明显。
Men whose index fingers are shorter than their ring fingers may have longer penises, according to a South Korean study published in the Asian Journal of Andrology。
最近，一篇刊登在《亚洲男性健康》期刊上的韩国研究报告称，食指比无名指短的男性的“小弟弟”则会更长。
‘According to our data ... the shorter index (second) finger than ring (fourth) finger you have, the longer stretched penile length you have,’ wrote Tae Beom Kim at the urology department of Gachon University Gil Hospital in Incheon, South Korea, in reply to questions from Reuters。
“据我们所收集到的数据显示，男性的食指越是比无名指短的话，他的阴茎的‘延伸’长度就越长。”韩国仁川的Gachon医科大学泌尿专业的研究院Tae Beom Kim这样说道。
Previous studies have shown strong evidence that prenatal testosterone may determine finger development as well as penile length, a relationship that Kim and his colleagues launched a study to focus on。
之前的一些研究提出了强有力的证据表明，在出生之前，睾丸激素会影响到手指的发育，当谈阴茎的长度也与其有关，这边是Kim与他的同时研究的重点所在。
The study involved 144 men suffering from urological problems that did not affect the length of their penis, which was measured under anaesthesia。
他们研究了144名患有泌尿系统疾病的男性的情况，不过疾病却没有影响到他们阴茎的长度，在麻醉的情况下，研究者测量了他们生殖器官的长度。
The measurements were later compared to the difference in length between their second and fourth fingers on the right hand. Previous studies have shown that the right hand may be more sensitive to the influence of testosterone。
测量的结果在之后与受测者右手食指与无名指指尖长度的差距进行了比较。之前的研究显示，右手对于睾丸激素的影响表现得更为明显。
The so-called ‘digit ratio’ in this study refers to the length of the index finger divided by the length of the ring finger. The lower the ratio, the study suggests, the longer the penis may be。
研究中所提到的“数字比例”实际上就是食指的长度除以无名指长度后得到的数值，研究表明，该数值越低，阴茎可能就越长。
Female index and ring fingers tend to be about the same length。
女性的食指与无名指的长度往往是大致相同的。
A study last year said that men with long index fingers have a lower risk of prostate cancer。
去年的一项研究发现，食指长得男性患前列腺癌的风险较低。
