Laughter research has found that only a small percentage of laughter, less than 20%, is a sincere response to someone's humor.
對笑容的研究表明只有小部分—不超過20%的笑容是發自肺腑的對于某人幽默的回應。
In fact, laughter is primarily a social signal, as opposed to an emotional outburst.
事實上，笑容主要是一種社交訊號，而非感情釋放。
People are 30 times more likely to laugh in a social situation than when they are alone, and other observation is about laughter also imply it has a social function.
人們在人群中笑的次數是他們在獨處時的30倍甚至更多，使研究人員由此推斷笑容首先具有一種社交作用。
For instance, there's “polite” laughter. How often have you found yourself laughing at someone's attempt at being funny in order to spare their feelings or make them feel good?
例如，“禮節性”的笑容。你發現你有多少次對別人試圖表現的幽默報之一笑，只是為了照顧他們的情緒或者讓他們感覺更好?
