Most of us have a theory about how to tell if someone is telling a lie.

我们中的大多数人都有一个关于如何辨别某人是否在撒谎的理论。

We may develop that theory from observations of those people we know well and see regularly, but we tend to generalize what we gather from that unscientific daily research and make it a universal theory.

我们可能会从我们熟悉和经常见到的人的观察中发展出这个理论，但我们倾向于概括我们从非科学的日常研究中收集到的东西，并使其成为一个普遍的理论。

So we might imagine that liars have evasive eyes, or the oppositethey simply stare at you.

所以我们可以想象说谎者有一双躲闪的眼睛，或者相反，他们只是盯着你看。

Or perhaps it is more generally nervous behavior we associate with lies.

But there's a problem with our theories, even though they’re based on all these observations.

但我们的理论有一个问题，尽管它们是基于所有这些观察结果的。

The average person-you and me-tested rigorously on how well we detect lies fails to do better than chance.

你和我都严格测试过的普通人在我们发现谎言的能力方面没有比偶然更好的表现。

That's well established over many studies and lots of attempts by researchers to work out reliable wavs to detect lies.

这一点已经在许多研究和研究人员的大量尝试中得到了证实，他们试图找出可靠的波形来侦测谎言。

It' even relatively easy to fool lie detectors, the gold standard of lie detection, by training yourself in breathing techniques and symptom suppression.

通过训练自己的呼吸技巧和症状抑制，欺骗测谎仪（测谎的黄金标准）甚至相对容易。

Is there any way to get better at detecting lies?
