中外面相学:其实你的脸出卖了你的心

For centuries, the Chinese have believed your facial features can reveal truths about your personality. Chinese philosophy dictates there are five elements which influence our lives: metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Each of us has a mixture of these elements in our faces, with one of them dominating.

几个世纪来，中国人一直相信面相可揭示人的性格。中国人的哲学是：人的生命被金、木、水、火、土五种元素影响。每个人的面相都是这五种元素的混合体，其中的一种起支配作用。

It may sound far-fetched, but a recent study published in the Royal Society Of Biological Sciences journal found it was reasonable.

或许听起来牵强，但最近发表在英国皇家学会生物科学公报期刊的一项研究表示这是合理的。

METAL FACE

“金相脸”

名人代表：谢丽尔·科尔

The characteristics of Fire Face are small, deep-set eyes, prominent upper cheekbones, thin lips.

“金相脸”的人眼小且深陷，上颧骨突出，嘴唇薄。

Extremely self-contained, you can appear slightly aloof. You’re determined and focused, with oodles of tenacity. You’re not given to big displays of emotion. Your iron self-discipline can leave others feeling unsure of where they stand with you. Metal is associated with impatience and anger, but you rarely give up. You’re a high-achiever，but your lives lack of entertainment.

他们极端独立，显得很冷漠。有决心，专注，坚忍不拔。不大表达情感，钢铁般的自律让人不大自在。急躁，易怒，但很少放弃。成就非凡，但生活缺少娱乐。

You’re flexible, adaptable and good company. You enjoy change, but think things through deeply and are very perceptive and intuitive. Water tendencies mean you will be prone to sensitivity, but won’t show your injured feelings in public.

Spontaneous, adventurous, sociable and extrovert, you crave attention. So fire people often appeared in the entertainment industry. You don’t give much thought to the consequences of your actions. If things seem boring, you liven them up. You’re an open book and don’t bottle things up. Fun to be around, you’ve got lots of friends but your devil-may-care attitude can lead to disaster.

他们落落大方，爱冒险，好交际，外向，渴望被注意，故通常出现在娱乐界。不大思考行动后果，善于活跃气氛。坦率。好交友，但不顾一切的态度可能会导致“灾难”。

You value family above all else and dedicate themselves to ensuring that their loved ones are safe and secure.

他们以稳定性和安全感作格言。有方法，重实际，脚踏实地。内向，害羞，不大容易放开。对事物的感知很深，需要很久去原谅背叛。对权宜之计不感兴趣。正义，是非观明确。视家庭为一切，致力于确保爱人安全无忧。
