眼睛确实会说话。
Eyes really do tell a story.
今年早些时候，科学家借助机器学习法发现了人的性格和眼球运动之间的关联，之后科学家用人工智能追踪和分析了42名学生的眼球运动，上周他们宣布了结果。
Using machine learning, earlier this year scientists discovered a connection between people's personalities and their eye movements. They then deployed artificial intelligence to track and analyze the eye movements of 42 students. They announced the results last week.
这项新技术可以识别出五大基本人格特质当中的四种：随和型、尽责型、外向型和神经质型，但不能判断出开放型人格。
The new technology can detect four of the "Big Five" basic personality traits: agreeableness, conscientiousness, extroversion, and neuroticism. It could not judge openness to experience.
一名研究人员指出，好消息是，这一发现能够增进人和电脑间的互动。如果电脑能解读一个人的性格和想法，那它就能据此采取相应行动。
The good news, according to one of the researchers, is that this finding could improve how humans and machines interact. If the machine can interpret what a person is like, the thought is, it can act accordingly.
这个跨国研究团队的首席研究员、南澳大学的高级讲师托比亚斯·勒切尔说：“人们总是在寻求完善的个性化服务。”该研究团队还包括斯图加特大学、福林德斯大学、德国麦克斯·普朗克信息学研究所的科学家。
"People are always looking for improved, personalized services," said University of South Australia senior lecturer Tobias Loetscher, who served as the lead researcher of the global team -- which also included the University of Stuttgart, Flinders University, and the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Germany -- that worked on this study.
勒切尔说：“然而，现在的机器人和计算机没有社交意识，所以不能适应非言语提示。这项研究提供了一个改良机器人和计算机的机会，让它们变得更自然，更善于解读人类的社交信号。”
"However, today's robots and computers are not socially aware, so they cannot adapt to non-verbal cues. This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural, and better at interpreting human social signals."
消极的一面是，这一发现有侵犯隐私之嫌。定向广告可能会全面升级，网站将会得到浏览者极为私密的个人信息。
On the more negative side, this discovery also screams of privacy implications. Targeted advertising could be taken to a whole new level, and websites would have uncomfortably personal information of its visitors.
来看看不同眼球运动对应的都是什么人格特质吧。你属于哪一种呢？
Here are some personality traits related to eye movements. Which one are you?
好奇型：四处看的频率更高；开放型：盯着抽象图片的时间更长；神经质型：眨眼更快；尽责型：瞳孔更频繁地扩大缩小；乐观型：花更少时间看消极的情绪化的内容。
Curious: look around more. Open-minded: stare at abstract images for longer periods of time. Neurotic: blink faster. More conscientiousness: have greater pupil size changes. Optimistic: spend less time looking at negative emotional things.
