As we increasingly rely on all things digital, writing things out by hand is becoming less common.
隨著我們日益依賴一切數字化的事物，手寫材料變得不太常見了。

Much like our body language often does, our handwriting is sending out smoke signals about our personality.
但往往就像我們的身體語言那樣，我們的筆跡體現著我們的性格特點。

According to graphologist Kathi McKnight, there are four letters in particular which reveal the most about a person's character - the letters l, t, i, and y.
筆跡學家凱西·麥克奈特表示，有4個字母特別能揭示一個人的性格，這四個字母就是“l(fā)、t、i 和 y”。

Kathy explained what these letters - and specifically how you write them - says about you.
凱西解釋了這些字母，特別是你書寫它們的方式，能反映出你的哪些特點。

The letter 'l' when looped like this...
當你把字母“l(fā)”寫成圖中這樣的環(huán)狀的時候……

Apparently shows you have big hopes and dreams for the future.
顯然，這說明你對未來充滿希望并懷有夢想。

Whereas when retraced like this...
但是，當你把“l(fā)”折成圖中這樣的形狀的時候……

It's a sign you've had your hopes and dreams crushed.
這說明你碾碎了自己的希望和夢想。

A letter 't' when looped like this...
當你把字母“t”寫成圖中這樣的環(huán)狀的時候……

Does not reveal similar traits to a looped 'l'. Instead, it indicates how the writer might be sensitive and prone to paranoia.
它并不會與一個環(huán)狀的“l(fā)” 揭示相似的特征，而是表明執(zhí)筆人可能是一個敏感的人，而且有偏執(zhí)傾向。

But the letter 't' when retraced like this...
但是，當字母“t”被折成圖中這樣的形狀的時候……

Reveals you're conscientious, disciplined and have lots of self-control.
這說明你認真又有條理，且自控力強。

A slender letter 'y'
一個細長的字母“y”

Writers of slender 'y' don't just give their friendship away. They are in fact very selective about who they call a 'good friend'.
把“y”寫成細長形的執(zhí)筆人不會放棄友誼。實際上，在選擇他們稱之為“好朋友”的人的時候，他們是十分講究的。

A broad letter 'y'
一個較寬的字母“y”

On the other hand, if you write the letter 'y' like this, it shows you probably have a large circle of friends.
但是，如果你把字母“y”寫成這樣，這說明你可能交友甚廣。

A long letter 'y'?
一個較長的字母“y”？

This means you love to travel.
這說明你喜歡旅行。

A short letter 'y'?
一個較短的字母“y”？

This means the complete opposite - you're happy being a homebody.
它的意味就完全相反了，這說明你喜歡宅在家里。

This dotted letter 'i'
加點的字母“i”

Shows you don't like clutter and pay great attention to detail.
這說明你不喜歡雜亂，且非常注重細節(jié)。

And this dotted letter 'i'
加圈點的字母“i”

By dotting the letter 'i' with a circle, you demonstrate a childlike and playful nature. You may also be artistic and enjoy standing out from the crowd.
如果你寫字母“i”的時候用圓圈代點，這體現了你天真爛漫又頑皮的本性。你可能還有藝術天賦，并且喜歡從人群中脫穎而出。
