Physiognomy 面相学 Facing the truth 面对真相 Why a man s face can lie but still produce orgasms 一个男性的面相为什么可以说谎，但尽管如此仍能带来高潮 Who are you calling a wide-boy? 你称之为宽脸男孩的人是谁? THESE days, physiognomy is an unfashionable science. 如今面相学是过时的学科。 The idea that character is etched into an individual s face is so much at variance with modernnotions of free will that research in the area dwindled long ago. 人的性格特征蚀刻在脸上这一想法跟现代自由抉择的观念差异很大，而现代自由抉择观念的研究领域很久以前就缩小了。 But it is making a tentative comeback. 不过人们一直在试验性质地从事这项研究。 Two recent studies of faces suggest that their features do matter, biologically speaking: theycan predict dishonesty and they can provoke orgasm. 最近两项面相研究表明，从生物学上来讲，面部特征的确至关重要：面相可以预测不诚实，面相也能挑起高潮。 The study on dishonesty was done by Michael Haselhuhn and Elaine Wong of the Universityof Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and is published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society. |
