世界上大多数人都是右撇子。历史上似乎也是如此。1799年，科学家们研究了这些作品从公元前1500年到20世纪50年代不同时期的艺术作品。

Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today only about 10% to 15% of the world's population is left-handed.

这些作品中展示的大多数人都是右撇子，因此科学家猜测，历史上右撇子一直很普遍。今天，全世界只有10%到15%的人口是左撇子。

Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person's two hands each have their own jobs.

为什么用右手的人比用左手的人多？科学家们现在知道一个人的两只手各有自己的工作。

For most people the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain.

对大多数人来说，左手是用来找东西或拿东西的。右手是用来处理事务的。这是因为大脑两侧的工作方式不同。

The right side of the brain which makes a person's hands and eyes work together controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain which controls the right hand is the center for thinking and doing problems.

大脑的右侧控制着左手，使人的手和眼睛一起工作。大脑的左侧控制着右手，是思考和解决问题的中心。

这些发现表明，更多的艺术家应该是左撇子，研究发现，左撇子在艺术家中的普遍程度是从事其他工作的人的两倍。

No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born.

[重点词汇] artist：艺术家；left-handedness：左撇子；instead of：而不是；代替；damage：<vt/n>损伤，损害；

However this doesn't happen to everyone so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents.

然而，这并不是每个人都会发生的，所以科学家猜测，人们变成左撇子肯定还有另一个原因。一个想法是人们通常从父母那里得到右手。

If a person does not receive the gene for right-handedness he/she may become either right-or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.
