What is the telltale clue to a genuine smile? Recent research finds positive correlations with this honest show of emotion. Christie Nicholson reports Most of us can spot a genuine smile. There’s just something different about it.
发自内心的微笑，我们都能看得出来。这是因为它确实与众不同。
Well, it was a French doctor in the 1860s who went to the trouble of stimulating facial muscles with electrical currents to discover what reveals a genuine smile. And turns out it’s two muscles working together. The zygomatic major muscle that turns the corners of the lips up, and the orbicularis oculi muscle that squeezes the eyes into the famous fanned wrinkles otherwise known as crows feet. Now it’s this latter muscle that’s involuntary, so the crows feet smile is considered the real spontaneous emotion and is known now as the Duchenne smile.
1860年代有一个法国医生通过电流刺激面部肌肉的方法去寻找真心微笑的关键。他发现这关乎两组肌肉的共同运用。使嘴角上翘的颧主肌和能把眼睛挤入扇形皱纹也就是鱼尾纹的眼轮匝肌。现在发现眼轮匝肌的动作是无意识做出的，因此，带鱼尾纹的微笑被看成是情感的自然流露，誉为杜乡式微笑（发自内心的微笑）。
And it turns out the real thing has a lot of power. In this month’s Observer Magazine, Eric Jaffe outlines some fascinating effects of an honest smile. For instance a 30-year long study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that women who displayed the Duchenne smile in their college yearbook photos had greater levels of well-being and marital satisfaction three decades later. Another study published this year in Psychological Science went further and found the professional baseball players who sported Duchenne smiles in their yearbook photo were only half as likely to die as those who had not.
人们发现真的东西拥有某些力量。在这个月的观察杂志中，Eric Jaffe 概述了真诚的微笑的一些神奇效果。比如，一项历时30年，发表于人格与社会心理学杂志的研究发现，在大学年鉴照片中露出杜乡式微笑的女性，在30年后，拥有更高的幸福水准和婚姻满意度。另一项研究，发表于今年的心理科学杂志，研究的更加深入，他们发现在年鉴照片中挂着杜乡式微笑的职业棒球运动员的死亡率只有其他同行的一半。
So during this holiday season, when the cameras and cell phones come out, give it your best, most candid smile…it appears to be a good thing.
所以，在这个假期中，在面对镜头的时候，展示你最棒，最自然的微笑吧......这样看起来真的很不错。
