It's no secret that making a good first impression can go a long way. But aside from a smile and a firm handshake, you need one key trait to truly nail that initial meet-and-greet. We’ll give you a hint: Most people pay attention to what you say, not what you do.
众所周知，给别人留下一个良好的第一印象可能会大有帮助。不过除了微笑和坚定的握手以外，要真正把握第一次会面，你还需要一项重要的特质。我们会给你点提示：多数人注意的是你在说什么，而不是你在做什么。
A 2014 study revealed that the tone of a person’s voice can indicate whether or not they are trustworthy. The researchers asked 320 subjects to listen to 64 different people say the word “hello” and rate them based on one of 10 personality traits. Turns out, the participants generally agreed on which voices were trustworthy and which were not—even though the voices played for less than a second.
2014年的一项研究指出，一个人的语调可以表明他们是否值得信任。研究人员请320个主体听64个不同的人说“hello”（你好）这个词，并根据10项性格特点之一为他们打分。虽然播放的声音还不足1秒钟，但结果表明，对于那些值得信任以及不值得信任的嗓音，参与者的意见普遍一致。
