一项惊人发现表明，女性吸引男性的魅力不在于外貌，而在于女性与男士谈话时“头倾斜的程度”。

　　The secret of attractiveness is all in a tilt of the head, it would appear. Research shows we can make ourselves more appealing simply by shifting our facial position. Women are more alluring if they angle their head forwards, so they have to look slightly upwards. In contrast, men become more masculine if they tilt their head back and look slightly down their nose.

　　一项惊人发现表明，女性吸引男性的魅力不在与外貌，而在与与男士谈话时“头倾斜的程度”。研究者建议，如果女性想在与男性交谈中散发出迷人魅力而吸引对方，只要时不时换一换“脸部位置”或者“摆一摆头”就可以了。据悉，谈话中女性只要将头稍微上扬，就能迷死对方。另外，男性如果希望展示出更多男性魅力，只要将头稍往后扬，部分目光看到自己的鼻子即可。

　　According to husband and wife research team Dr Darren Burke and Dr Danielle Sulikowski, this is all due to height differences between men and women. Dr Burke, a senior psychology lecturer at the University of Newcastle in Australia, said: ‘Human facial attractiveness from an evolutionary perspective has been extensively studied.‘But, although the influence of feminine and masculine features is relatively well-known, there is a gap in our knowledge as to what is considered masculine and feminine about facial features.

　　研究者总结，男性与女性通过“改变姿势”来散发魅力其实是因为两者身高的不同而决定的。心理学家Dr Burke说：“观看者视角决定彼此的印象已经作为一个课题深入探讨过了，然而通过视角来表现男性和女性的面部特征来作为一个新课题，尚且需要时间来论证。”

　　‘The research found the way we angle our faces affects our attractiveness to the opposite sex.’ Dr Sulikowski told the scientific journal Evolutionary Psychology the findings offered some clues to help unravel ‘the mysteries of mateship rituals’. Further research is now planned to see if people subconsciously tilt their faces when flirting. She added: ‘These findings contribute enormously to our understanding of the role of facial attractiveness in evolution.’

　　研究团队发现，人脸部的角度可以影响对异性的吸引力。据悉，研究者还将针对“人类在调情时，是否会调整脸部角度”的课题进行研究。这些研究结果将对我们了解人类面部表现形式在进化中的作用提供重要依据。
