女人应该知道的关于男人大脑的秘密
[b]What Women Should Know About Men's Brains[/b]More and more research reveals the differences in the male and female brains, it becomes easier for each gender to better understand the other and to allow the differences to unite rather than separate us.
For example, men’s brains are about 10% larger than female brains. Aside from the obvious distinctions, one of the more intriguing facts researchers have noted is the varying ways in which men and women approach time, judge the speed of things, accomplish [b]mental mathematical calculations[/b][b]（[/b][b]mental calculations:[/b][b]心算）[/b], and visualize objects in three dimensions.
Scientists believe these differences may explain why there are a significantly larger number of male mathematicians, mechanical engineers, architects, airplane pilots, bush guides, and race car drivers. Men also show an advantage in tasks requiring quantitative and reasoning abilities, and excel in science and math. In young boys, these areas of the brain mature around four years earlier than in girls.
Verbal abilities arise earlier in girls than in boys. But although men and women may communicate differently, they do process some language tasks similarly, while there are significant differences in other aspects of language processing. Scientists have also found that while men and women appear to process single words similarly, in the interpretation of whole sentences, women use both sides of the brain while men use only one side.
These differences help us understand and recognize that conflicts between men and women, whether partners, spouses, friends, siblings, or in work environments are not necessarily due to personalities that don't [b]mesh[/b]（v.相啮合，互相协调）, but the result of brain biology. When women complain that men don’t listen or remember to do things, a lack of concern or lack of interest may not be at fault. Because the brains of men and women are [b]wired[/b]（adj.[俚]兴奋的） differently, we can hope to understand that our differences are beyond our control, and we can demonstrate more patience and acceptance.

越来越多的研究显示男性和女性的大脑是有区别的，明白这些区别男女双方可以更好地相互理解，更团结而不是彼此分隔。
譬如，男人的大脑大约比女人大百分之十。除了这些明显的差异外，研究员记录的众多更让人感兴趣的事实之一是，男女大脑能力上的不同体现在处理时间、判断物体速度、解决心算和在三维空间上想象事物。
科学家认为这些差异也许解释了为什么数学家，机械工程师，建筑师，飞行员，丛林向导和赛车手都以男性居多。男性同样展示了他们在要求数字分析和推理能力的工作更具有优势，并且在科学和数学方面超过女性。小男孩头脑的这部分领域大概比女孩早熟四年。
女孩的语言能力则比男孩显示得更早，尽管男性和女性交流表达不一样，可处理一些语言工作却是相似的，他们明显的差异是在语言处理过程的其他方面。科学家还发现，男性和女性似乎仅仅在处理词汇方式上相似，而用整个句子把它们表述出来时，女性同时使用大脑的两边，而男性却只用一边。
这些差异有助于我们了解和识别男人和女人的冲突，不管是在搭档，夫妻，朋友，兄妹之间还是在工作环境中，不一定是因为性格不合，有可能是因为他们的生物大脑。一些女人抱怨男人不听或不记得一些事情，也许并不是因为他们缺乏关注或没有兴趣，而是因为他们大脑的关注点不一样，我们希望大家明白我们的差异是无法控制的，这些可以通过更多的耐心和认可来证实。
