27、ling with you. Growing evidence shows that an instinct for facial mimicry （模仿）allows us to experience other peoples feelings. If we cant mirror another persons face, it limits our ability to read and properly react to their expressions. A review of this emotional mirroring appears on February 11 in

For example, if youre with a friend who looks sad
