When they respond, observe their body language and eye movement—you want to know how they act when they are telling the truth. Do they shift stance? Glance in one direction or the other? Or look you dead in the eye? Make sure you ask enough questions to observe a pattern.
在他们回答时,观察他们的肢体语言和眼神的运动——(因为)你想知道他们说真话时是怎样表现的。他们会转变态度吗?眼光瞟着一个或是另一个方向?又或者死死地盯着你的眼睛?确保你问足够多的问题可以观察到一个(回答)模式。
Find the hot spot.
发现热点。
Once you move from neutral territory to the “lie zone,” you should be able to observe a change in body language, facial expressions, eye movement, and sentence structure.
一旦你从中立领域转向“撒谎区域”时,你应该能够观察到说谎者在肢体语言、面部表情、眼神移动,以及句式结构上的变化。
说谎时,每个人都会给出不同的下意识线索,这就是为什么在进入谎言区域之前观察先正常行为是如此重要。
Watch their body movement.
观察他们的身体移动。
Liars often pull their body inward when lying to make themselves feel smaller and less noticeable.
说谎者在说谎时常常会把自己的身体转向内侧,这样能让他们感觉自己更渺小,更加不被注意。
Many people will become more squirmy and sometimes conceal their hands to subconsciously hide their fidgety fingers. You might observe shoulder shrugging.
许多人会扭动不安,并且有时候会掩藏他们的手,这是下意识的隐藏躁动不安的手指。你可能会观察到(他们)肩部的抖动。
Observe micro-facial expressions.
观察微表情。
人们常常会放过撒谎者的面部表情,但有些面部表情很微妙,并且很难发现。有的人脸上的颜色会变成浅粉色,有的人鼻孔会轻微耸动,有的人会咬嘴唇、微微出汗或者频繁的眨眼。
Each of these changes in facial expression signifies an increase in brain activity as the lying begins.
当开始说谎时,面部表情的每一个变化都意味着大脑活动的增加。
Listen to tone, cadence, and sentence structures.
听(说话的)语气、语调的起落,以及句式结构。
Often when a person is lying they will slightly change the tone and cadence of their speech. They might start speaking more quickly or slowly, and with either a higher or lower tone. 通常情况下,每当一个人说谎时,他们会轻微地改变语气以及讲话的抑扬顿挫。他们开始说的更快或更慢,并且伴随着或高或低的声调。
Oftentimes, the sentences that they use become more complex as their brain works on overdrive to keep up with their tale.
更多时候,他们使用的句式会变得更加复杂,因为为了紧跟谎言他们的大脑在超速运转。
They stop talking about themselves.
他们停止谈论自己。
People that are lying will also sometimes start removing themselves from their story, and start directing the focus on other people. You will hear less me’s and I’s as the liar tries to psychologically distance themself from the lie that they’re weaving.
说谎的人们有时候也会把自己抽离谎言故事,并且开始把注意力转向他人。你很少能听到他们说“我如何如何”,因为说谎者试着让自己从心理上远离自己编织的谎言。
