左撇子领袖受人欢迎的秘密（双语）(2)

    克萨恩托博士在《公共科学图书馆•综合》期刊上发表的研究报告中说，惯用左手的候选人在传达积极讯息时用左手做手势，在传达消极讯息时用右手。而惯用右手的候选人的手势习惯则正好相反。克萨恩托博士认为选民在潜意识里会注意候选人在用哪只手。The left-handed candidates used left hand gestures when making positive statements – and right hand gestures when being negative. The opposite pattern was found in right-handed candidates, he reports in the journal PLoS One. He believes voters subconsciously note which hand their leaders are using.

    他说：“惯用右手的人会不自觉地认为‘好东西’在右边，左撇子则认为‘好东西’在左边。反之亦然。而我们从电视上看恰好又是反过来的。”He said: ‘Right-handers automatically think “good stuff” is on the right, and “lefties” think “good stuff” is on the left, And vice versa. When we see someone on television that is a mirror image.

   “惯用右手的人在用右手打手势时从电视里看是在左边，传达的是消极信息；而‘左撇子’从观众角度看则像是在用右手，传达的是积极信息，而普通人中有90%的人都惯用右手。”‘A “rightie” gesturing with his right hand appears on our bad side of TV. While a left-hander appears to be putting things in a much more positive light for the 90% of viewers who are right-handed.’
