   Your Sleeping Position and Your Personality


  Everyone has got two personalities 1 — the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real.You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
  If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
  If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn, but you aren’t very ambitious. You usually live for today but not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
  If you sleep curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so You’re often defensive 2. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.
  If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed 3. You always say what you think even if it annoys people①.

  行文点评
  本文为总分结构,第一段提出观点:睡姿显示个性, 作者在首句提出Everyone has got two personalities,并指出在一个人熟睡时,睡姿会显示出他真实的一面。进而作者在后面四段分别从四种不同的睡姿来阐释人的个性,我们从中可以学到谈论一个人性格时的几种常见表达:open(心胸开阔),secretive(遮遮掩掩),nervous(易紧张),balanced personality(性格平和)。
  全文句型简单,读起来琅琅上口,十分适合于背诵。
  好文妙译
  睡姿与性格
  每个人都有双重性格——一种是展示于外的性格,另一种是隐藏于内的真实性格。在你醒着的时候,你不会表现你隐藏的个性,因为你能控制你的行为,但在熟睡时,你的睡姿会显示你真实的一面。当然,通常人们在夜里会频繁改变睡姿。最重要的姿势是你入睡的姿势。
  如果你仰卧而睡,那么你是一个心胸开阔的人。一般你相信他人,易受流行时尚和新观念的影响。你不喜欢使别人感到沮丧,所以你从不说出你真实的感受。你很害羞且不太自信。
  如果你俯卧而睡,则你喜爱遮遮掩掩。你心事重重,且容易沮丧。你很固执却没有野心。通常你为今天而不为明天而生活。这意味着你享受生活。
  如果你蜷缩着身体而睡,则你很可能是个容易紧张的人。你的自我感觉不好,因此自我保护意识强。你很害羞,通常不喜欢与人交往。你倾向于依赖自己且容易受到伤害。
  如果你侧卧而睡,则你性格平和。你知道自己的优点和缺点。一般而言,你小心谨慎且十分自信。有时你也会感到焦虑,但不会情绪低落。即使你的观点会激怒别人,你也会将它表达出来。
