他們真的無所不知嗎？.

　　一群朋友在一起聊天，無論別人提什么問題，總有一個人搶著回答，雖然，他的回答可能并不是很靠譜。嗯，身邊這樣“無所不知”的人還真是不少呢!他們是不是都患了“男性回答綜合征”啊?

　　Male answer syndrome(MAS) is the tendency for some men to answer a question even when they don't know the answer.

　　“男性回答綜合征”指部分男性聽到有人提問題就想回答，無論是否真的知道答案。

　　Try an experiment. Ask a male friend a question, something completely outside his sphere of expertise.

　　來做個試驗，問你的男性朋友一個問題，而且是完全在他知識范圍以外的問題。

　　Will you get an answer? Chances are, you will. The male friend is exhibiting behavior known as Male Answer Syndrome. It's the compulsion by many individuals (mostly men, but sometimes women) to answer questions readily, regardless of knowledge.

　　他會回答嗎?很可能會的。這位男性朋友表現(xiàn)出的就是“男性回答綜合征”。這是很多人(大部分是男性，有時也有女性)都有的一種強迫性沖動，遇到有人提問題，無論是否了解，都想要要回答一下。

　　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.

　　心理學家告訴我們，這是“男性表現(xiàn)行為”的一種形式，同時也是吸引女性的一種巧妙手段。心理學家認為，“男性有勇氣和創(chuàng)造力去試圖解釋難以理解的事物。”而且，男性甚至會相信自己的胡扯。這也許可以從某種角度解釋為什么在藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域獲得成功的男性比女性多。
