播放列表主义：听歌也能看人品

你平时都听些什么歌？流行？摇滚？还是民谣、乡村？一个人的品味和个性特征不单体现在待人接物的行为上，爱听的音乐类型可能也是了解一个人的途径呢。

Forget discriminating people based on their race, religion, or gender, it's all about playlistism, which means judging a person based on what songs are on the playlist of his or her digital music player.
把那些因人的种族、信仰或者性别而产生的歧视都抛在脑后吧，现在满街都是播放列表主义，也就是，根据某人电子音乐播放器上的歌曲列表来判断其为人。

Several recent studies in the US have shown that these lists are not only ‘the soundtracks of our lives', but also reasonably reliable personality barometers used to suss out dating partners, job applicants and political candidates.
最近，美国有几项研究都发现，播放列表不仅是“我们生活的音轨”，同时也能作为合理的判定标尺推测出约会对象、求职者以及政党候选人的个性特征。
