When it comes to the language of love, not all ears are created equal. In a study at Sam Houston State University, volunteers listened to emotional and nonemotional words through each ear. The preliminary findings: Subjects had a 64% recall rate of emotional words heard in the left ear, 58%in the right. Why? Because the brain's right hemisphere, the side that processes emotions better, is more sensitive to signals from the left ear. So if you want to play to someone's soft side, even if she's a stubborn person, lean to the left.

     说到情话，并非所有的耳朵都有均等机会聆听喔。在圣修斯敦大学的一项研究中，志愿者们分别用左、右耳倾听了情话和大白话。初步发现：测试者的左耳对情话心有所感，事后回忆率达64%，但右耳只能回忆起58%的情话。为什么？因为大脑的右半球处理感情信息更在行，对来自左耳的信息更敏感。所以如果你想打动某人，就对她的左耳吹风，真情所至，金石为开。
