Aggressive People Have Wider Faces
臉部較寬的人更具侵略性
Aggressive people are easy to spot because they have instantly recognizable wide faces, researchers claim.
研究人員日前稱(chēng)，具有攻擊性的人很容易被認(rèn)出，因?yàn)樗麄冮L(zhǎng)著“一眼即可看出”的寬臉盤(pán)。
Just a quick glance al someone's facial structure may be enough to predict their tendency towards aggression, according to a study published in the Psychological Science journal.
一項(xiàng)發(fā)表于《心理科學(xué)》期刊的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，(當(dāng)某人站在你面前時(shí))，只需迅速看一跟他的面部結(jié)構(gòu)，可能就足以判斷他的攻擊性。
Facial width-to-height ratio (WHR) is determined by measuring the distance between the right and left cheeks and the distance from the upper lip to the mid-brow.
臉部的寬高比 (WHR)是通過(guò)測(cè)量左右臉頰之間的距離和上嘴唇到眉中的距離得出的。
Psychologists from Brock University to the USA decided to follow up previous research that suggested males with a large facial WHR act more aggressively than those with narrower features.
此前有研究表明，臉部寬高比值較大的男性比臉窄的男性更具侵略性。美國(guó)布魯克大學(xué)的心理學(xué)家決定對(duì)此開(kāi)展進(jìn)一步研究。
In the study, volunteers viewed photos of faces of men who had previously had their aggressive behaviour analysed.
研究人員讓志愿者們?yōu)g覽了不同男性的臉部照片。之前研究人員己對(duì)這些男性的攻擊性行為進(jìn)行了分析。
(1)The participants then rated how aggressive they thought each person was on a scale of one to seven, after viewing each face for either 2000 milliseconds or 39 milliseconds.
(1)之后，志愿者們根據(jù)自己的感覺(jué)，對(duì)每個(gè)男性的進(jìn)攻性按一分至七分進(jìn)行評(píng)級(jí)。他們?yōu)g覽每張照片的時(shí)間長(zhǎng)則兩秒，短則0.039秒。
The results revealed the participants' estimates of aggression correlated highly with the actual aggressive behaviour of the men-even if they only saw the picture for a split second.
研究結(jié)果表明，志愿者們對(duì)這些男性進(jìn)攻性的估計(jì)與實(shí)際情況的相符度很高一一即使他們只看了一眼照片。
And the volunteers' estimates also matched with the WHR of the faces the wider the face, the higher the aggressive rating.
而志愿者對(duì)男性進(jìn)攻性的估計(jì)與臉部的寬高比也相符。臉部越寬，進(jìn)攻性評(píng)級(jí)越高。
The psychologists concluded that subtle differences in face shape may affect personality judgements, which in turn, guide how people respond to others.
心理學(xué)家總結(jié)稱(chēng)，臉型的細(xì)微差別可能會(huì)影響個(gè)性判斷，從而引導(dǎo)人們?nèi)绾螒?yīng)付他人。
During childhood, boys and girls have similar facial structures, but during puberty, males develop wider features than females.
在兒童時(shí)期，男孩和女孩的臉部結(jié)構(gòu)相似。但到了青春期，男性的臉部開(kāi)始變得更寬。
(2)Previous research has suggested that males with wider faces act more aggressively-with studies showing that hockey players with broad features earn more penalty minutes per game than other players.
(2)此前研究表明，面部較寬的男性進(jìn)攻性更強(qiáng)。有調(diào)查稱(chēng)，在曲棍球比賽中，臉部較寬的選手每場(chǎng)比賽被罰下的時(shí)間長(zhǎng)于其他選手。
四級(jí)句型講解：
1. The participants then rated how aggressive they thought each person was on a scale of one to seven, after viewing each face for either 2000 milliseconds or 39 milliseconds.
本句是一個(gè)復(fù)合句。其中how引導(dǎo)的名詞性從句作rated的賓語(yǔ)。on a scale of one to seven介詞短語(yǔ)作方式狀語(yǔ)。after viewing... milliseconds介詞短語(yǔ)作時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)。
語(yǔ)法重點(diǎn)：名詞性從句，介詞短語(yǔ)作狀語(yǔ)
2. Previous research has suggested that males with wider faces act more aggressively-with studies showing that hockey players with broad features earn more penalty minutes per game than other players.
本句是一個(gè)復(fù)合句，that引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句，作suggest的賓語(yǔ)。其中with wider faces介詞短語(yǔ)作后置定語(yǔ)，修飾males.后面with studies...players為獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)，表示伴隨，作進(jìn)一步補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明。其中 that引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句，作showing的賓語(yǔ)。with broad features介詞短語(yǔ)作后置定語(yǔ)，修飾hockey players。
語(yǔ)法重點(diǎn)：賓語(yǔ)從句，介詞短語(yǔ)作定語(yǔ)，獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)
