七種常見的面部表情
來源：
小編： 114We express our emotions not only verbally but also through non-verbal channels, and one of the main non-verbal channels is facial expression. Are you a good judge of facial expressions?
臉部表情會說話嗎？我們臉部都會有哪些表情？下圖列舉出7種面部的基本表情：
 neutral |
 happy |
 surprised |
 afraid |
 angry |
 disgusted |
 sad |
雖然一張臉可以展現(xiàn)出比這7種表情多得多的樣子，但是現(xiàn)實生活中，人們常常通過掩飾自己的表情來掩蓋自己的情緒。People can put on different facial expressions to hide their true feelings. 通常，men are expected to control their emotions while women are expected to express their emotions more freely. Men begin to learn to control their emotions when they are children. “男兒有淚不輕彈”的觀念早就在男孩子們的思想中扎根了。
男人較女人傾向于控制情緒，日本人較美國人傾向于控制情緒。Displaying anger is much less acceptable among the Japanese than among Americans. There is greater emphasis on restraining the expression of emotions in Japanese culture, and people tend to control their feelings, especially negative ones. 控制自己的情緒，尤其是負面的情緒，已經(jīng)成為日本文化的一個組成部分。Since the Japanese frown on the open expression of some emotions, people from the societies which are less restrained may find them rather inscrutable when dealing with them at first. 所以，和日本人交往不如和歐美人來得輕松，因為前者不喜形于色，他們的真實想法令人很難捉摸。
除了日本人，另一種人的面部表情也是讓人猜不透的，那就是撲克牌高手。Good poker players need to avoid giving their opponents any clue about how good the cards they hold are. Their faces keep the same expression all the time, so 'poker-faced' has come to mean a person with a face that betrays no emotions. 用“撲克臉”來描述撲克牌玩家，是不是很有意思？
