As Will plays Pygmalion, treating Marcus to a shopping spree for the hippest sneakers and CDs, Marcus's self-confidence grows.(于是威爾開始熱心照顧馬庫斯，帶著他瘋狂購物，買了新潮的運動鞋和唱片，這使馬庫斯增強了自信心。)

This falls in line with another psych finding: the Pygmalion effect, which states "that what one person expects of another can come to serve as a self-fulfilling prophecy. ""(這卻暗合了另一項心理學發現——皮格馬利翁效應。也就是一個人對另外一人的期望最終可以影響到那個人，致使最初的預言實現。)

The two works Pygmalion and the Taming of the Shrew are a good case in point.(兩人的作品《馴悍記》和《賣花女》就是一個很好的例證。)

In view of from the work itself and the analysis of the characters, Hig-gins is definitely a symbol of Pygmalion 's devitalizing spirit; while Eliza is, in a sense, the reversal of it.(從作品本身和人物分析來看，息金斯是匹格馬利翁式的窒息生命活力的精靈的象征，而伊莉莎卻正好是這種精神的反面。)

Applying "Pygmalion Power" in corporation communication is an effective solution to the problem of "problematic people".(在溝通中運用“皮格馬利翁效應”是解決“問題人”問題的有效途徑。)

It isn't exactly "Pygmalion," not least because Mr. Hooper has no intention of satirizing the caste system that is one of this movie's biggest draws.(這并不完全是一個“皮革馬利翁式”的故事，一個重要原因在與導演霍伯并沒打算諷刺電影一大看點的等級制度。)

If this story sounds familiar, it should: Pygmalion was later filmed winning an Oscar for Shaw and later again transformed into the highly popular Broadway musical My Fair Lady (1956).(如果這故事聽來耳熟，那并不奇怪：《Pygmalion》稍后被拍成電影為蕭贏得了一座奧斯卡獎；后來又被改編成極受歡迎的百老匯音樂劇“真善美”(1956)。)

And so the Pygmalion effect shows how our expectations can really matter.(所以皮格馬利翁效應表明，我們的期望能產生很大的影響。)

Shaw was also the only person ever to have won both a Nobel Prize (Literature in 1925) and an Academy Award (Best Screenplay for Pygmalion in 1938).(肖伯納還是唯一獲得諾貝爾文學獎(1925年)以及奧斯卡最佳電影劇本獎(1938年，《皮格馬利翁》)兩個獎項的人。)

Our Pygmalion project, then, is to make all those near us just like us.(然后，我們的皮格馬利翁項目，就是讓這些不同變得和我們類似。)
