从你的表情和手势就可以看出你是哪国人!  

The accents that creep into the way we speak can reveal a lot about where we are from
but there are also subtle clues visible in our faces and the way we move.
While leafing through some old research papers
Hillary Elfenbein noticed something strange about the photographs in one famous study. The research from the late 1980s had asked volunteers if they were able to identify emotions in the faces of Japanese and Caucasian people. Some of the "Japanese" faces were posed by Japanese-Americans
the rest by Japanese nationals.
When Elfenbein herself looked at photographs
she realised that she could tell which were which. Her collaborator
Abby Marsh
found that she could too. So they ran an experiment.
当埃尔芬拜因观察那些照片时，她意识到自己能辨认出哪些是日裔美国人，哪些是日本人。她的合作者艾比·马什发现她也可以。于是她们就开展了一项实验。
They found that the Americans they tested were also strangely good at spotting who was Japanese and who was Japanese-American
even though they were all ethnically the same. When the o groups held neutral expressions
people could barely differentiate beeen them. But when they showed their feelings
especially sadness
something from Japan or America seemed to emerge.
You may have had this experience yourself
if you've ever been abroad and felt suddenly convinced that a passing stranger is one of your fellow countrymen. At times the signal may be obvious.
If you've seen the film Inglourious Basterds
you will know that German and British people indicate the number three with their fingers in different ways. Germans raise their thumb and first o fingers; Britons pin the little finger with their thumb and raise the rest. Most never realise that this difference exists until they see the alternative
which
to them
looks strange.
Some signals may be random quirks that happened to catch on. Others may have served a purpose. Vladimir Putin is said to display his KGB weapons training in the way he walks
with his "gun arm" hanging motionless by his side.
Since their initial discovery
Marsh and Elfenbein have detected more of these "non-verbal accents" – physical ways in which we show where we e from without realising. Americans
for example
can spot Australians from the way they smile
wave or walk.
More recent research supports their findings. A team at the University of Glasgow has now trained a puter to recognise and then generate more than 60 different non-verbal accents on a simulated face. Subtle
almost indecipherable differences in the way a nose wrinkles and a lip is raised were often all that differentiated them. But when East Asians were shown these artificial "East Asian" expressions
they recognised them much more easily than "Western" ones.
The presence of these subtle cues might help to explain the bias that can creep into our thinking about people from different backgrounds. As we've seen
non-verbal accents often have the effect of making outsiders more difficult to understand.
At the very least
when people really want to understand each other
non-verbal accents show us that it's good to talk.
