台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:
In fact, quite the opposite tends to happen: our characters are liable to mould themselves to the personalities implied by our faces, as a result of years of other people assuming that this must be who we are and treating us in the light of our appearance.
事实恰恰相反:许多年日积月累下来,其他人对我们的既定印象和他们依据我们的外在形象来对待我们的结果,使得我们的内在性格特质多半会演变为跟我们外在的形象一致。
