如何一周学会英语？每天学英文，Day1.手指交叉的方式暴露了你的个性

『英译中』

Body language experts believe that the way you cross the fingers of both of your hands says a lot about the person you are. This conclusion is based on the research conducted by Nobel Prize–winning Roger Wolcott Spery. His research proved that the brain is devided into two parts–left and right–and a person's behaivior can depend on which part is more active.

肢体语言专家相信双手手指交叉的方式可以表明你是什么样的人。这个结论是基于诺贝尔奖获得者Roger Wolcott Spery的研究。他的研究证明大脑分两个部分——左部大脑和右部大脑——个人的行为依赖于哪部分大脑更活跃。

1.左手拇指在上

If that's the way you clasp your hands, then you are highly likely to be a practical person. You are someone who never makes decisions in the heat of the moment. Before arriving at a conclusion, you weigh the pros and cons①. It is also very difficult to deceive you. You have an innate② quality to see through the lies of other people.

如果你双手手指交叉相握，左手拇指在上，那么你很有可能是一个很实际的人。你不会是那种头脑一发热就做决定的人。在得出结论之前，你会权衡利弊。你很难被欺骗，你有一种先天能力看穿别人的谎言。

For these reasons, you are highly valued by your friends and family members, who often come to seek your advice. And more often than not, you advise wisely.

因此，那些经常找你给出建议的朋友或家人对你的评价都很高。并且通常你能给出精明的建议。

But all of this does not mean that you are a serious person. On the contrary, your wit can lighten up even the gloomist of place. Your quirky③ sense of humor makes you a people magnet in social gathering.

但这并不意味着你是一个严肃的人。相反，你的风趣可以点亮灰暗的场合。你独特的幽默感让你在社交聚会上很受欢迎。

You are also a romantic who knows exactly how to handle courtships④. You know precisely what to say and when to say it.

你很浪漫，知道如何恋爱。你确切地知道什么时候该说什么。

2. 双手拇指平齐

You are someone who believes that the devil lies in the details. You are a perfectionist and expect the same level of dedication and concentration from others as well.

你相信细节决定成败。你是一个完美主义者，并且希望别人的奉献和专注和你的一样。

Leadership comes naturally to you, and you always lead by example. But that doesn't mean that you are not considerate about the needs and circumstances of other people.

你有天生的领导力，且总是以身作则。但是这并不意味你不考虑别人的需求与境况。

You always hear the opinion of other people and try to understand their point of view before arriving at a decision. Your frankness, honesty, and sincerity can sometimes be disarming⑥ to some people, but these are the same qualities that endear you to many others.

你总会听取别人的意见，并在得出结论前尝试理解别人的观点。你的坦白、诚实、真诚有时候能消除某些人的敌意，但同时也是你与他人亲近的品质。

In relationships, as well, you value frankness and honesty, and you never shy away from speaking your mind nor do you stop your beloved from doing so.

同样在恋爱关系中，你重视坦白和诚实，你从不会羞于表达你的想法，也不会阻止你的爱人如此。

右手拇指在上

If you are someone who prefers to keep your right thumb on top of your left one while clasping your fingers, then you are a person with a high emotional quotient⑦.

如果两手交叉相握右手拇指在上，那么你是一个情商很高的人。

You are able to understand what a person is feeling even when they might be trying to hide their real emotions. This unique ability makes it easy for others to open up to you.

你能理解一个人的感受，甚至在他们试图隐藏真实的情感。这个独特的能力让人很容易对你敞开心扉。

This ability also provides you with a perspective that others cannot see, helping you think outside the box and enabling you to make the correct decisions. Although making decisions after emotionally weighing all the other aspects sometimes takes time. Your ability to understand deep emotions and provide warmth draws people toward you.

这种能力也提供给你一个别人看不到的视角，帮你跳出思维框架并且能让你做出正确决定，尽管有时候在情感上衡量所有方面花费时间。你对他人的理解及提供温暖的能力吸引人们靠近你。

In relationships, you understand the unspoken feelings of your partner. You will never have problems catering⑧ to all their emotional needs.

在恋爱关系中，你能理解你伴侣没说出口的情感。你在迎合对方情感需求上从不会出现问题。
