Did you know you can catch a mood? A badmood isn't spread by a virus like the flu is, but it can be contagious. Moodssort of drift from person to person unconsciously --- slight, unintentionalsignals carry the mood.

You've probably experienced it yourself.You're around someone who's feeling down and showing it... slumped shoulders,downcast mouth, subdued voice --- all that sort of thing. Pretty soon you beginto feel depressed too --- of course, good moods are also catching, not just badones.

Moods spread in steps. One person's facialexpression or whatever is observed by another, who then unconsciously begins tomimic. The process is automatic --- a split second mimicry. The

person isn't even aware of the copying. Afull-blown case of mood transfer develops as this copying continues.

Not everyone picks up moods to the samedegree. Those who're most susceptible often have strong physiological responsesto what's going on around them. You know, people who break out in a nervoussweat easily and whose stomachs churn.

People don't all send moods equally welleither. The best mood senders are expressive people because mood contagioncan't happen without signals. If they aren't there --- that is, the persongives no indication of the mood they're in --- nobody will pick up the mood.

【参考译文】

你知不知道你能赶上心情？心情不好并不像流感病毒传播，但它是可以传染的。情绪漂移排序从人到人在不知不觉中---轻微的，无意的信号携带的心情。

你可能经历过自己。你周围的人，谁的情绪低落，显示它...颓然的肩膀，垂头丧气的嘴，压低了声音---诸如此类的事情。你很快就会开始感到沮丧了---当然，良好的情绪也引人注目，不只是坏的。

在步骤情绪蔓延。一个人的面部表情或任何另一个观察，然后不自觉地开始模仿。这个过程是自动---一秒钟的模仿。“

人甚至不知道复制。情绪转移的一个完全成熟的情况下，开发这种复制继续。

不是每个人都拿起情绪，以相同的程度。那些谁是最容易受影响的往往有强烈的生理反应，他们周围发生了什么事情。你知道，人谁打破了紧张的汗水很容易的胃翻腾。

人不都同样或者发送的情绪。最好的心情发件人是表现人，因为情绪蔓延，不能发生没有信号。如果他们不存在---也就是说，人的心情，他们是在---没有人会拿起心情没有给出指示。
