New Year’s Eve has come and gone, and I’m not at all stoked to see the pictures of myself from that night. It’s not because I was captured doing something compromising, I just hate seeing myself on camera 12.31来了又去，而我见到那晚自己的照片并不兴奋。并不是因为照片里的我做了什么难看的事，我只是讨厌镜头前的自己。 Don’t get me wrong, I think I’m a decent looking dude. It’s just that sometimes when I’m a little fugly on film. It’s like that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry’s girlfriend only looks good in the right light. I’m generally OK with the reflection I see in the mirror, but the camera casts a pall on my visage. To my surprise, science agrees that the mirror is to blame, but not for the reasons I’d thought. 别误会我，我自认还算是长相不错的小伙。只是有的时候照片中的我真的丑毙了。正如《宋飞正传》里有一集，杰里的女友只在合适的灯光下看起来不错。总体而言，我对镜子前的自己还算满意，但相机却把我拍丑了。令我惊讶的是，科学上来看确实是镜子的错，但却并不是我所认为的那样。 It comes down to facial symmetry, and in this regard my face is skewed. My chin is crooked, my eyes don’t line up, and there’s a weird bay in my hairline on my left forehead. News flash: your face probably isn’t absolutely symmetrical either. Only a few people come close, and even some models and actors have crooked faces. |
