   Alpha girl can always outperform men in study, work and sports. So, where there are alpha women, there are beta men。


  “阿尔法女孩”也称“α女孩”,指许多方面的能力和表现都在同龄男性之上的年轻女性。这个词源自美国哈佛大学教授丹-肯德伦的著作Alpha Girl。
  “阿尔法女孩”不受传统的性别角色约束,比男孩子更出色、更有能力的女孩子。她们从出生起就与男孩子受同样教育,在学习、技能、体育等方面都不输给男孩子。
  尽管大部分“阿尔法女孩”希望得到与其并驾齐驱的“阿尔法男孩”,但仍有“阿尔法女孩”降格以求,与成就平平,但性格温和的“贝塔男孩”(Beta Boy)约会,且很少提及自己的优秀表现,以免吓退男孩“对象”,更有越来越多的“阿尔法女孩”选择单身。
  该词最早出现于1994 :Archer 1 managed to overcome her father's misgivings 2 by promising 3 that he would allow Mary — an archetypal Alpha girl who duly collected an Oxford 4 First —to follow any career she chose.—Graham Turner, "The Midas Touch," Sunday Telegraph, May 1, 1994.(星火)
