英國埃塞克斯大學(xué)的研究人員做了一項(xiàng)研究，試圖找出全球最無聊的職業(yè)和愛好。這項(xiàng)研究由該大學(xué)心理學(xué)系高級講師維南德·范·蒂爾伯格博士領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，對全球 500 多人進(jìn)行了5項(xiàng)調(diào)查，結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)最無聊的職業(yè)包括數(shù)據(jù)分析、會計(jì)、保潔和銀行職員等，而睡覺、看電視、數(shù)學(xué)等都是排名靠前的最無聊愛好。

Finance was overwhelmingly tagged as the world's most boring industry, with finance-associated positions occupying four of the top five slots on the "most boring" list.
金融業(yè)力壓其他行業(yè)，成為世界上最無聊的行業(yè)，金融業(yè)相關(guān)工作占據(jù)了“最無聊工作”榜單前五位中的四位。

Tilburg said that stereotypically "boring people" are generally disliked, and often avoided by the people around them — largely due to unfair preconceived notions.
蒂爾伯格稱，刻板印象中“無聊的人”通常是不受歡迎的，周圍的人往往會躲著他們，這主要是由于不公平的先入為主的觀念造成的。

Your perceptions of people can certainly change over time, but folks dubbed as "boring" don't often get a chance to prove the stereotypes wrong, Tilburg said. "The very fact that people choose to avoid them can lead to social ostracization and increase loneliness, leading to a really negative impact on their lives," he said.
蒂爾伯格說，我們對人的看法肯定會隨著時(shí)間的推移而改變，但被認(rèn)為“無聊”的人往往沒有機(jī)會證明這些刻板印象是錯(cuò)誤的。他說：“人們選擇避開無聊的人，這一事實(shí)可能會導(dǎo)致他們遭到社會排斥，孤獨(dú)感增加，對他們的生活造成真正的負(fù)面影響。”

Tilburg said he launched the study to explore stigmas around boredom, and how it can impact the way humans perceive each other: "The irony is studying boredom is actually very interesting and has many real-life impacts."
蒂爾伯格說，他發(fā)起這項(xiàng)研究是為了研究無聊帶來的恥辱感，以及它如何影響人類對彼此的認(rèn)知：“諷刺的是，研究無聊其實(shí)非常有趣，并對現(xiàn)實(shí)生活產(chǎn)生了許多影響。”

Here are the results of the study:

Some of those "boring" jobs do tend to pay more than some of the "most exciting" ones. According to compensation software and data company Payscale, the average salary for a data analyst is around $62,754 per year. That's approximately $10,000 per year more than the average salary of someone in performing arts — roughly $52,522, according to Glassdoor.
有些“枯燥”的工作確實(shí)比一些“有趣”的工作薪水更高。薪酬數(shù)據(jù)庫信息網(wǎng)Payscale的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，數(shù)據(jù)分析師的平均年薪約為62754美元（約合399837元人民幣）。根據(jù)Glassdoor網(wǎng)站數(shù)據(jù)，這比演藝行業(yè)人士的平均年薪大約高出1萬美元（約合63715元人民幣），他們的平均年薪約為52522美元（約合人民幣334643元）。

And while "sleeping" ranked as the single most boring hobby anyone could have, getting regular amounts of high-quality sleep is essential to your productivity, health and mental sharpness, according to research.
研究表明，盡管“睡眠”當(dāng)選任何人都可能擁有的最無聊愛好，但規(guī)律的高質(zhì)量睡眠對工作效率、健康和思維敏捷性至關(guān)重要。
