Introduction to Micro Expression Psychology 微表情心理学简介

 Micro Expression Psychology 微表情心理学


Life is like a masquerade, and everyone uses a mask to hide their true expressions. Does he (she) standing in front of you speak his (her) mind or is he (she) duplicitous? Take off their masks, see through their hearts, and see all the secrets. Family, friends, colleagues, leaders, clients, do you think you know them well? No, that's just your illusion! If you really want to get to know them, let's start by reading their micro-expressions.

人生好比一场盛大的化装舞会,每个人都用面具挡住自己的真实表情。到底站在你面前的他(她),是口是心苗,亦或是口是心非呢?让我们一起摘下他们的面具,看透他们的心声,将一切秘密尽收眼帘。你的亲人、好友、伙伴、领导、客户,你觉得你真的很了解他们?不,那仅是你的错觉!若你真想真正地摸透他们,就要从他们的微表情开始着手。

What is Micro Expression? 什么是微表情?

Microexpressions can reflect the true feelings of a person's heart. People express their inner feelings to each other by making some expressions, and between the different expressions people make or within a certain expression, the face will "leak" other information. While a subconscious expression may only last for a split second, this trait can easily reveal emotion. When the face is making a certain expression, these very short-duration expressions flash by and sometimes express the opposite emotion.

微表情可以反映出一个人内心的真正想法。人们的潜意识会做一些表情,将内心感受一五一十地表达给对方看,当人们做不同表情之际,脸部会“泄露”出其他相关的信息。虽只是一个下意识的表情,也可能只维持霎时,但这种特性最容易暴露情绪。当脸部做出某个表情时,这些表情一闪而过,且有时会表达出相反的情绪。

Are Microexpressions Limited to The Face? 微表情只局限在脸部吗?

Most people when hearing "micro-expressions", are preconceived and think that "micro-expressions" are subtle expressions on the face. In fact, "micro-expression" is not limited to the face, it can also be displayed in other places, so where exactly?

大多数的人听到“微表情”时,就会先入为主,认为“微表情”就是脸上露出微妙的表情。但事实上,“微表情”并不局限于脸部,它也可以在其他地方展露出来,那到底在哪里呢?

Common Facial Expressions 最常见的脸部表情

1. Happy 快乐

Although smiling is not a unique signal of happiness, it is the most visible sign of this emotion. The parts of the face where a smile affects the face mainly involve the eyes, mouth and cheeks.
虽然微笑不是表现快乐唯一的信号,但微笑确确实实是快乐最显而易见的标志。当我们微笑时,眼睛、嘴巴和脸颊都会受到影响,让我们的想法表露无遗。

👉Eyes 眼睛 

When we smile, the lower eyelid will rise slightly, wrinkles will appear under the lower eyelid, and crow's feet may also be distributed around the outer corner of the eye.

当我们微笑时,下眼睑(下眼皮)会微微上扬,下眼睑之下会出现皱纹,鱼尾纹也可能会分布在眼角外围。 


👉Mouth 嘴巴

The mouth lengthens as the lips move outward and upward. Your lips may be separated and your teeth (usually the top teeth) are exposed. Laughing can also cause two laugh lines, extending from the outer corners of the lips up to the nose. 

当嘴唇向外和向上展开时,嘴巴会变长,而你的双唇就会分开,且露出牙齿(通常会露出上排牙齿)。同时,大笑也会产生出两条笑纹,从唇角外部一直延伸至鼻翼(鼻尖两侧的部分)。

👉Cheecks 脸颊

Your cheeks will rise and bulge, possibly so high that your eyes appear to be narrow and tapered, which will accentuate the smile lines from your mouth to your nose. 

你的脸颊会上升并鼓胀起来,你的双眼看起来变窄变细,这样更加凸显出嘴巴至鼻子间的笑纹。

2. Sad 悲伤

👉Mouth 嘴巴

On the whole, the mouth can best express a person's sadness. When sad, the corners of the mouth droop, highlighting the slack and listless expression of the entire face. If you cry out of grief, your lips may tremble.

基本上,嘴是最能表露出人悲伤情绪的器官。当我们悲伤的时候,嘴角会下垂,并凸显出整个脸部松弛、呆滞及无精打采的状况。若你因悲伤而哭泣,你的双唇就会颤抖。

👉Eyebrows and Forehead 眉毛与额头

The ends of the eyebrows are raised, so the space between the eyebrows, the base of the nose, and the eyes will form a triangle. Above this triangle, wrinkles may appear on the forehead.

眉毛的末端是凸起的,所以眉毛之间的空间、鼻子的底部和眼睛之间会形成一个三角形。 在这个三角形之上,额头上可能会出现皱纹。

👉Eyes 眼睛

The tears in the eyes will sparkle, and the sclera of the eyes will turn red.

噙在眼里的泪水会闪闪发光,泪眼汪汪,眼睛巩膜(眼球白色部分)会变成浅红色。

3. Amaze 惊奇

👉Eyebrows and Forehead 眉毛与额头

When you're surprised or amazed, your eyebrows go up. Wrinkles on the forehead will form waves that run laterally across the forehead.

当你感到惊讶时,你的眉毛会向上扬。 额头上的皱纹会形成横向穿过额头的波浪。

👉Eyes 眼睛

When the eyes are wide open, more of the sclera is exposed.

当眼睛睁大时,更多的巩膜暴露在外。

👉Mouth 嘴巴

Your jaw droops and your mouth is slightly open.

4. Fear 害怕

When you're startled or scared, there are many different parts of your face that respond with subtle differences.

当你受到惊吓或害怕时,你脸上许多部位都会产生细微的差异。

👉Eyebrows and Forehead 眉毛与额头

When you feel fear, your eyebrows go up and knit together. Compared to the surprised expression, the eyebrows look less curved, and your forehead will also wrinkle, but this time it is not completely horizontal, but there are often vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows.

当你感到恐惧时,你的眉毛就会抬起并拢在一起。 相比惊讶的表情,眉毛看起来就不那么弯曲了,你的额头也会起皱,但这次不是完全纵横的,而是眉毛之间有垂直的皱纹。

👉Eyes 眼睛

You will lift your upper eyelid to reveal the white of your eye. The lower eyelid becomes tight and raised.

你将抬起上眼睑,露出眼白。 下眼睑变得紧绷并上扬。

👉Mouth 嘴巴

Your mouth will open and your lips will be pulled back tightly.

你的嘴会张开,嘴唇会被紧紧地向后拉。

5. Angry 生气

👉Eyebrows 眉毛

When you feel angry, the muscles pull your eyebrows down and tighten inward. Frowning your brows will create portrait wrinkles between your brows.

当你感到愤怒时,肌肉会拉下你的眉毛并向内收紧。 眉头紧锁,会让眉毛之间产生纵向皱纹。

👉Eyes 眼睛

As your upper and lower eyelids move closer to each other, the eyes become narrower and thinner. Your eyes look stern and cold like you're staring at someone, and your eyes even look like they're sticking out.

随着上下眼睑彼此靠近,眼睛会变窄变细。 你的眼神冷峻而冷酷,像是在盯着一个人,甚至还像是突出来一样。

👉Mouth 嘴巴

The lips may be tightly closed, forming a line with the corners of the mouth downward, or the mouth may be open and the lips tense as if about to burst into a loud shout.

嘴唇可能紧闭,嘴角向下形成一条线,或者嘴巴张开,嘴唇紧绷,好像要大喊大叫一样。

👉Nose 鼻子

Some people in anger wrinkle their noses or open their nostrils.

一些盛怒的人会皱起鼻子,或张开鼻孔。
