A person's surname can influence their choice of career, experts believe, exploring the theory of surnames' connotations drawing people to certain trades and professions, the Daily Telegraph reported.

The phenomenon can be observed among famous figures such as the world champion sprinter Usain Bolt or the 18th century poet William Wordsworth. However, serious research is now being dedicated to the concept – known as nominative determinism – to explain why it occurs.

Researchers also point out that it is more difficult to explain examples of people who have unfortunate surnames in relation to their jobs such as doctors called Pain.

姓氏能夠影響職業(yè)前景

?????? 據(jù)英國《每日電訊報(bào)》報(bào)道，通過對(duì)姓氏的內(nèi)涵進(jìn)行分析，專家確信姓氏能夠影響到職業(yè)選擇，將人們領(lǐng)入不同的行當(dāng)。

?????? 這個(gè)現(xiàn)象可以從一些名人身上得到印證，比如世界短跑冠軍尤塞恩?博爾特（注：英文本意為閃電），還有18世紀(jì)詩人威廉?華茲華斯（有價(jià)值的文字）。不過，一種被稱為“姓名決定論”的嚴(yán)肅類研究也正在進(jìn)行，從而解釋這個(gè)現(xiàn)象背后的原因。

?????? 研究人員還指出，解釋一些不符合常理的姓氏職業(yè)搭配則更加困難，比如有醫(yī)生姓培恩（疼痛）。
