下面一段短文中，有两处系以中文呈现，请利用上下文线索（如单字、词组等）将其译成正确、通顺、达意且前后连贯的英文。

Each child has his or her own unique personality, but how does this happen? Interestingly, researchers have found a link between the order in which children are born and certain traits.

1. 也就是说，出生顺序已被证实是影响一个人个性的原因之一。

A first-born child will most likely be a natural leader. For instance, many presidents and CEOs are first-borns.

A last-born child is usually outgoing and loves to have fun. However, the "baby" of the family is sometimes spoiled and usually irresponsible.

Among all the children, middle-borns are the hardest ones to understand. They don't want to be like the oldest sibling, who they feel gets all of the praise. Middle-borns also think the youngest child gets away with everything and usually goes unpunished.

2. 因此，中间顺位出生的孩子便经常觉得自己跟家里格格不入，而且认为朋友更重要。 However, there are always exceptions to every rule, so parents must make sure to try to love each child equally.

1.  第一句可译为：

That is to say, birth order has been proven to play a part in one's personality.

2.  第二句可译为：

As a result, middle-borns often feel they don't fit in with their families and consider their friends to be more important.

参考中译

　　每个小孩都有自己独特的个性，但这是如何发生的呢？有趣的是，研究人员发现孩子的出生顺序和某些性格有关联。也就是说，出生顺序已被证实是影响一个人个性的原因之一。老大最有可能成为天生的领导者。比方说，许多总统和执行长都是家中的老大。

　　老么通常个性外向并且喜欢玩乐。不过，家中的『小宝贝』有时会被宠坏，而且通常没有责任感。所有孩子中，中间顺位出生的孩子是最难理解的。他们觉得长子长女得到所有的赞赏，所以他们不想跟老大一样。他们也认为老么犯任何错都可以规避惩罚。因此，中间顺位出生的孩子便经常觉得自己跟家里格格不入，而且认为朋友更重要。但是，每条规则总有例外，所以父母亲务必要设法同样爱每一个孩子。
