1. THE CLUE IN YOUR CHEEKBONES
颧骨的线索
Using a photograph, measure the width of your face from cheekbone to cheekbone and its height from your upper lip to the highest point of the eyelids. Divide the width by the height.The calculation gives you your ‘facial width to height ratio’ (FWHR).
用照片,量一量你的脸两颊的间距、还有上唇与眼睑最高处的距离。然后宽度除以高度,计算结果即是你“脸部的宽高比(FWHR)”。
Most people have an FWHR of between 1.5 and 2.1, with higher numbers of course signalling a wider face. Scientists have shown that people with wider faces, such as Wayne Rooney, tend to be more aggressive, angry and assertive. People with thinner faces tend to be more placid.
多数人的脸部宽高比在1.5与2.1之间,数值越大自然脸也越宽。科学家称,脸宽者,如韦恩·鲁尼,往往咄咄逼人、气势汹汹、自信武断;脸瘦者往往更平静温和。
Scientists suspect that testosterone is the cause. The hormone tends to make men’s faces more traditionally rugged — with heavy brows, jutting jaws and wider faces.
科学家怀疑原因在于睾丸素。这种激素通常容易让男性脸庞更为粗犷——眉毛粗重、下颚突出、脸型更宽。
