答案 External Appearance Does Reveal Something A man in patched jeans could turn out to be a millionaire, while the face of a beautiful girl might be the product of a plastic surgery. Looks can sometimes be deceiving, but it’s assertive to conclude that one should never judge a person by external appearance. Physiologically and psychologically speaking, outward presence reveals part of the truth about a person. To begin with, it’s a common sense that one’s complexion reflects his health and consequently his lifestyle. Our living habits regulate and affect our physical mechanism, such as our digestion and metabolic capacity, which then is presented on the outside. For instance, if someone is frequently burning the midnight oil, we can find on his face weariness and sickly sallowness. A sanguine complexion, on the other hand, shows us that the person keeps a regular routine in his life and gets sufficient sleep. What’s more, a person’s dressing style, though not necessarily an indicator of his wealth, tells us about his life philosophy. From looking at a wardrobe we can infer the owner’s personalities. For example, a person who constantly wears bright-colored clothes is likely to have an outgoing personality and an optimistic belief in life. Choosing fine but not expensive clothing demonstrates exquisite fashion taste and independent mind that does not blindly pursue extravagant brands. As for the millionaire in simple clothes, he might be a believer in frugality and keeping a low profile. Finally, a person’s manners and behaviors can also reveal something. The everyday language one uses is a sign of his living environment as well as the education he has received. In addition, a soft, gentle voice indicates the ability to control himself, whereas a person who often talks in a high-pitched voice might have a tendency to lose control. As is analyzed in the hit TV drama Lie to Me, a keen observer can even judge whether a person is lying or not from every small detail of his body language. We might not be able to judge the content of a book by its cover, but we can always venture an informed guess at the author’s writing style based on the font of the title and the color of the cover. Everyone looks the way they are for a reason. The point lies in whether you are observant and sensible enough to comprehend a correct implication of the details.
