You know how eye contact is a pretty important component of interacting with people, right?
我們都知道在與人交流時目光交流很重要。
So scientists recently tested this by measuring people's brain activity as they responded to pictures of angry people and pictures of people who look afraid.
因此,科學家最近做了這樣一個實驗:給被實驗者看一些發怒的人和看起來讓人害怕的人的照片,測量當時他們的大腦活動。
It turns out that eye contact plays an important role when people are evaluating potential threats.
結果發現,人們在評估潛在威脅時,目光接觸起著重要的作用。

If we measured your brain activity, we'd see that the part of their brain that regulates emotions and detects potential threats is hard at work.
如果測量大腦活動,我們會看到大腦的一部分控制著情緒,并會察覺出潛在威脅。
On the other hand, if I've been scowling at something else, like this microphone, this wouldn't have bothered you nearly as much. And the exact opposite is true for fear.
另一方面,如果我是盯著其他東西,像話筒,就不會使你感到不安。
