男性回答综合症
"Male Answer Syndrome" (MAS) is the tendency among men to give answers to questions whether they know anything about the subject or not, particularly when in the presence of women. “男性回答综合症”是指男性特有的对问题作出回答的倾向,不管他们是否了解所谈之物。有女性在场的时候这一倾向尤为明显。Psychologists tell us it's a form of "male display behavior" and is a subtle method of attracting females. "Men have the courage and inventiveness to try to explain the inexplicable." A man may even start to believe his own baloney. This might account, in part, for the disproportionate number of men over women actively successful in the arts.
心理学家告诉我们,这是男性表现欲的一种形式,一种吸引女性的狡猾手段。心理学家认为,“男性有勇气和创造力去试图解释难以理解的事物。”男人甚至会相信自己的胡扯。这也许可以从某种角度解释为什么在艺术领域获得成功的男性比例比女性大得多。
身边总有一些男性貌似上知天文下知地理,无论问他什么都可以天南海北滔滔不绝。原来这种胡扯也是一种吸引异性的手段,叫作“男性回答综合症”。
