Most people think they can tell who is lying from the eyes of the other person， but I’m here to show you 6 different gestures which are all linked to lying and tell you the hidden meaning of them， so you can understand them fully and never get lied to again.

The Mouth Cover

It is one of the most obvious lying gestures. The hand covers the mouth as the brain subconsciously instructs it to try to suppress the deceitful words that are being said. Sometimes it might only be several fingers over the mouth or even a closed fist， but its meaning remains the same. Some people try to disguise the Mouth Cover lying gesture by giving a fake cough. When actors play 1)gangsters or criminals， they often use this gesture when discussing criminal activities with other gangsters or when being 2)interrogated by the police.

If the person who is speaking uses this gesture， it indicates that they could be lying. If they cover their mouth while you are speaking， it can show they might feel you are hiding something. The Mouth Cover gesture may appear as 3)innocuous as the “Shhh” body gesture where one finger is placed 4)vertically over the lips; it would likely have been used by the person’s mother or father when he was a child. As an adult， the person uses it in an attempt to tell themselves not to say something they’re feeling. The point is that it alerts you to something that is being withheld.

The Nose Touch

This is one of the most interesting lying gestures because of the real effect it has on the lying individual. Sometimes the Nose Touch lying gesture can be several quick rubs below the nose or it may be one quick， almost 5)imperceptible nose touch. Women perform this gesture with smaller 6)strokes than men， perhaps to avoid 7)smudging their make-up.

The important thing to remember is that this type of action should be read in clusters and in context; the person could have 8)hay fever or a cold.

Scientists found that when you lie， chemicals known as 9)catecholamine’s are released， causing 10)tissue inside the nose to swell. They used special imaging cameras that show blood flow in the body to reveal that intentional lying also causes an increase in blood pressure. This technology indicates that the human nose actually expands with blood during lying， and is known as the “11)Pinocchio Effect”.

The Eye Rub

When a child doesn’t want to look at something he’ll cover his eyes with one or both hands. When an adult doesn’t want to look at something distasteful， the Eye Rub lying body gesture is likely to occur.

This gesture is the brain’s attempt to block out the deceit， doubt or distasteful thing it sees， or to avoid having to look at the face of the person who is being lied to. Men usually rub their eyes vigorously and if the lie is a real 12)whopper they will often look away. Women are less likely to use the Eye Rub lying gesture; instead， they will use small， gentle touching motions just below the eye， because they either have been conditioned as girls to avoid making 13)robust gestures， or to avoid smudging make-up. They also avoid a listener’s gaze by looking away.

“Lying through your teeth” is a commonly used phrase. It refers to a gesture cluster of clenched teeth and a 1 smile， combined with the Eye Rub lying gesture. This gesture is used by movie actors to 14)portray insincerity and by “polite”cultures such as the British， who prefer not to tell you exactly what they’re thinking.

The Ear Grab

Imagine you tell someone， “It only costs pound;900” and the person grabs their ear， looks away to the side and says， “It sounds like a good deal to me.” This is a symbolic attempt by the listener to “15)hear no evil”; trying to block the words he is hearing by putting the hand around or over the ear or tugging at the earlobe.

It is the adult version of the Hands-Over-Both-Ears gesture used by the child who wants to block out his parent’s16)reprimands. It can also be a signal that the person has heard enough or may want to speak.

The Neck Scratch

The index finger， usually of the writing hand scratches the side of the neck below the earlobe. Observations of this lying gesture reveal the person scratches an average of five times. Rarely is the number of scratches less than five and hardly ever more than five. This lying gesture is a signal of doubt or uncertainty and is characteristic of the person who says， “I’m not sure I agree.” It is very noticeable when the verbal language contradicts it， for example， when the person says something like， “I can understand how you feel” but the Neck Scratch lying gesture is used， it indicates he doesn’t.

The Collar Pull

17)Desmond Morris was one of the first to discover that lies cause a 18)tingling sensation in the19)delicate facial and neck tissues， and a rub or scratch was required to satisfy it. This not only accounts for why people who are uncertain will scratch their neck， it presents a good explanation as to why some people use the Collar Pull lying gesture when they lie and suspect they have been caught out. Increased blood pressure from the deceit causes sweat to form on the neck when the deceiver feels that you suspect he’s not telling the truth. When you see someone use this gesture， ask， “Could you repeat that， please?” This can cause the would-be deceiver to 20)give the game away.

大多數(shù)人認為他們能夠從對方的眼睛判斷出對方是否在撒謊，但在這里我想跟你們說說和撒謊相關(guān)的六個不同的小動作，并告訴你其隱含意味，這樣你就可以充分了解這些小動作，不再受謊言蒙蔽。

1. 掩嘴巴

這是最顯而易見的說謊小動作。用手遮掩嘴巴是因為撒謊者下意識地試圖抑制自己正在說出的謊話。有時候，人們僅僅用幾個手指或者甚至用緊握的拳頭遮掩著嘴，但意思都一樣。有的人會假裝咳嗽來掩飾自己遮住嘴巴的手勢。演員扮演歹徒或罪犯，在與其他歹徒謀劃犯罪活動時或被警察審問時，他們常常會做這個小動作。

如果有人說話時出現(xiàn)這種小動作，就表明他們有可能在說謊。如果他們在你說話的時候遮住嘴巴，那表明他們可能感覺到你在隱瞞一些東西。用手遮住嘴巴也許看起來跟把食指豎在嘴唇前說“噓——”的手勢一樣無惡意;做這個動作的人很可能小時候父母常對他做“噓——”的手勢，當他成年以后，就會用這個手勢來試圖提醒自己不要說出內(nèi)心的想法。重要的是，這個手勢提醒了你事有隱情。

2. 摸鼻子

這個手勢對撒謊者著實有用，因此可算是最有趣的說謊小動作之一。摸鼻子的手勢有時是用手在鼻子下迅速摩擦幾下，有時可能只是輕觸一下，旁人幾乎察覺不到。女人做這個動作時，幅度比男人小，也許是怕弄花妝容。

有一點必須謹記，對摸鼻子這種動作，我們應(yīng)該結(jié)合其他肢體語言和具體情形來解讀，做這個動作的人也可能只是因為花粉過敏或者感冒。

科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)，人們?nèi)鲋e時會釋放出一種名為兒茶酚胺的化學(xué)物質(zhì)，這種物質(zhì)會引起鼻腔組織膨脹。通過可顯示身體內(nèi)部血液流量的特殊成像儀器，研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，有意的撒謊還會導(dǎo)致血壓上升。該技術(shù)顯示，人們的鼻子在撒謊過程中會因為血液流量上升而增大，這種現(xiàn)象被稱為“匹諾曹效應(yīng)”。

3. 揉眼睛

當一個小孩不想看見某樣?xùn)|西時，他會用單手或雙手遮住自己的眼睛。當一個成年人不想看到某件令人倒胃口的事情時，他很可能會做出揉眼睛的手勢。

這種手勢是大腦在試圖去擋住眼前帶有欺騙性的、讓人疑惑的或令人厭惡的事情，或是避免正視自己要撒謊欺騙的人。男人在做這個手勢時往往會使勁揉搓眼睛，如果那真是個彌天大謊，他們還會常常目光飄移，不敢正視別人。女人撒謊則較少做出揉眼睛的動作;相反，她們一般只是在眼睛下方輕輕一碰。這一方面是因為淑女風范限制她們做出粗魯?shù)氖謩?，另一方面也是為了避免弄花妝容。她們也會轉(zhuǎn)移視線，避開聽者的凝視。

“睜眼說瞎話”是一個常用俗語。它體現(xiàn)了一系列的肢體語言，包括咬牙切齒，虛偽假笑，還有揉眼睛這個說謊小動作。電影演員們常常用揉眼睛這個手勢來表現(xiàn)人物的偽善。在所謂的禮儀之邦，如英國，當人們不想對你吐露真實想法時，往往也會用這個手勢加以掩飾。

4. 撓耳朵

試想一下你對某人說:“這個東西只要900英鎊?！睂Ψ絼t抓撓著自己的耳朵，把頭轉(zhuǎn)向一側(cè)，說道:“這對我來說很貴啊?！痹谶@里，抓撓耳朵的手勢就明顯表現(xiàn)出聽者“非禮勿聽”的意圖——把手放耳朵附近或干脆捂住耳朵，又或者拉拉耳垂，用這些動作來阻止自己聽到那些不愿聽的話。

小孩為了逃避父母的訓(xùn)斥會用雙手捂住自己的耳朵，抓撓耳朵的手勢則是這一肢體語言的成人版本。它也可以表示聽者已經(jīng)聽夠了或者可能想發(fā)言。

5. 撓脖子

撓脖子的手勢是:用食指，通常是用寫字那只手的食指來抓撓脖子側(cè)面位于耳垂下方的區(qū)域。據(jù)觀察所得，人們?nèi)鲋e時做這個動作，通常會抓撓五次。抓撓的次數(shù)很少會低于五次或者多于五次。這個手勢是疑惑或不確定的表現(xiàn)，等同于在說:“我不太確定是否贊同?！碑斂陬^語言和這個手勢不一致時，其含義就格外明顯。比如，某個人說“我能理解你的感受”，但同時他卻在抓撓脖子，那么可以斷定，實際上他并不理解。

6. 拽衣領(lǐng)

德斯蒙德·莫里斯是最先發(fā)現(xiàn)這種現(xiàn)象的科學(xué)家之一。他發(fā)現(xiàn)，撒謊會使敏感的面部與頸部神經(jīng)組織產(chǎn)生麻刺的感覺，需要揉抓來消除不快。這一發(fā)現(xiàn)不僅能解釋為什么人們在疑惑時會抓撓脖子，還能很好地解釋為什么人們在撒謊并擔心謊言被識破時，會頻頻拉拽衣領(lǐng)。這是因為撒謊者一旦感覺到聽者的懷疑，其升高的血壓就會使脖子處不斷冒汗。當你看到有人做這個動作時，不妨對他說:“請你再說一遍，好嗎?”這樣可以使這個企圖撒謊的人露出馬腳。
