The notion that children's taste in toys might somehow be genetically determined has long been disparaged by psychologists, pooh-poohed as unscientific, sexist or both.

孩子们对玩具地喜好在某种程度上是由基因决定的，这个说法长期遭到心理学家的鄙视，被认为是不科学的，或是有性别歧视的，或者两者兼而有之。

But a study by researchers in the United States suggests that when it comes to choosing between trucks and cuddly stuffed animals, chromosomes could make a difference.

但一项由美国研究人员做的研究表明，在选择玩具卡车还是让人禁不住想抱抱的填充玩具时，染色体有可能是会起作用的。

在佐治亚州亚特兰大市的耶尔克斯国家灵长类动物研究中心，一队由金•沃伦带领的科学家就决定拿典型的“男性化”玩具和“女性化”玩具让猕猴选择，看看这种偏好到底是不是跟性别有关。
