問題詳情

請依下文回答第 21 題至第 25 題     Scientists in the United States are planning to create lie-detection software for emails and text messages. The new software is being developed by a team led by Jeff Hancock at Cornell niversity in New York State. "We asked people to come into the labs and write lies and we had other people come in and write the truth," says Hancock. "Using this method, we've developed a database of tens of thousands of emails.”     The scientists have analyzed the data and identified a number of methods to predict whether or not a person is lying. One of the most important methods is the length of a message. Lying emails have, on average, 28% more words than truthful messages. Another method is the overuse of sense words, such as "see," "feel," and "touch." "When you're lying, you want the other person to believe you, so you give more details," says Hancock.     Liars also tend to use pronouns like "we" and "they" rather than "I" as a way of distancing themselves from a lie because they feel guilty. "People often use negative emotional words too, because they feel uncomfortable when they're lying," says Hancock. "So they will use terms like "sad," "angry," "unhappy" and "stressed."    Previous research has shown that up to one third of communications at work involve lying of some sort. The most common workplace lie is pretending to be sick to avoid going to work.     But Peter Collett, a psychologist who has written a book on lying, is skeptical about Hancock's work. "You can see if somebody is lying by looking at their body language, how fast they talk, and how they speak," he says. "How can a computer program see all this? They've clearly done a lot of research, but with emails all you have is words."

翻譯:美国科学家计划为电子邮件和短信开发测谎软件。这个新软件是由纽约州康奈尔大学的杰夫·汉考克领导的团队开发的。汉考克说:“我们让人们到实验室来写谎言，我们让其他人来写真相。”“使用这种方法，我们开发了一个包含数万封电子邮件的数据库。”科学家们分析了数据并确定了一些方法来预测一个人是否在说谎。最重要的方法之一是消息的长度。说谎的邮件比真实的邮件平均多28%的单词。另一种方法是过度使用感觉词，如“看”、“感觉”和“摸”。汉考克说:“当你撒谎的时候，你希望别人相信你，所以你会提供更多的细节。”说谎者也倾向于使用“我们”和“他们”这样的代词，而不是“我”，因为他们感到内疚，以此来让自己远离谎言。汉考克说:...
