Learn how to read a person just by looking at their hand using the ancient art of palmistry.

學習如何透過看對方的手就能運用古老的手相學來得知對方的命運。

You will need A palm to read and the basics of palmistry.

你需要一個手掌來看，以及手相學的基本知識。

Step 1. Read the dominant hand: the one a person uses to write with.

第一步，看慣用手的手相，也就是那個人寫字的那隻手。

It reveals what's going on now.

那樣可以得知現在發生的事情。

The passive hand represents a person's inherited characteristics.

非慣用手則代表一個人天生遺傳的個性。

Markedly different lines on each hand indicate a person who has worked hard to change their basic nature.

兩隻手有明顯不一樣的線代表一個人努力地改變自己原本自然的樣子。

Step 2. Know how to view the lines: Read horizontal lines from the thumb side across, and vertical lines from the wrist up.

第二步，懂得辨認線條，平行的線要從拇指那邊開始看，垂直的線要從手腕往上開始看。

Step 3. Start with the top horizontal line, or the heart line.

第三步，從最上面那條直線開始看，那條線又稱感情線。

A line that's close to the fingers indicates a passionate, sometimes jealous, person.

如果那條線很靠近手指的話代表是這個人是熱情而有時容易嫉妒的人。

If the line goes straight across, the person keeps a tight rein on their emotions.

如果那條線是直直橫跨手掌的話，這個人則很會抑制情緒。

If it curves up toward the index finger, the person is more outwardly affectionate.

如果那條線彎向食指的方向，這個人則感情開放。

Gaps on the heart line suggest the person has known heartbreak.

感情線有間隔則代表這個人有經歷過心碎。

Short lines that cross the heart line show they are very flirtatious and have a hard time staying faithful.

有其他短線條在感情線中代表他們很輕佻，而且非常難有忠心。

Step 4. Look at the next horizontal line, which is the head line.

第四步，看下一條平行線，那條是智慧線。

A strong, straight line that goes all the way across the hand indicates a logical, no-nonsense thinker.

一條很深、很直的線、橫跨手掌的線代表一個理性、井然有序的思考者。

A zigzag line represents a mind that tends to wander.

鋸齒形線條代表你的頭腦常常神遊。

If the line curves downward toward the wrist, the person is creative and trusting.

如果那條線往手腕的方向往下彎，這個人則有創意而且信任別人。

Step 5. Examine the third major line, which usually slopes from horizontal to vertical, the life line.

第五步，觀察第三條主要的線，那條線通常從平行線滑向垂直線，那條線是生命線。

A strong, deep line suggests a person who is enthusiastic about life and strives to reach their full potential.

一條既又明顯又深的線代表一個對生命很有熱情的人，而且努力開發所有潛力。

A shallow or faint line indicates someone with less ambition.

一條淺而不明顯的線代表那個人缺乏野心。

Contrary to popular belief, the life line has nothing to do with how long a person will live.

與大家所相信的不太一樣，生命線跟人會活多久沒有關係。

Step 6. Check out the fate line, the vertical line in the center of the palm.

第六步，來看看事業線，手掌中心的那條垂直線。

A strong, straight line indicates a person with a focused career.

又深又直的線代表這個人專注於事業。

A faint line suggests someone less happy with their job.

淺淺的線代表這個人對他的工作不是很滿意。

Forks and branches represent many starts and stops in a person's career path.

有分支的線代表你的事業有許多開始跟結束。

Step 7. Don't like what you're seeing?

第七步，不喜歡你所看到的嗎？

Remember that your fate is not on your hands but in your hands.

要記得，你的命運不是在你的手上，而是在你的手中。

The existing lines simply represent what has come before.

現有的線單純代表著曾經發生的事情。

Did you know there is evidence that palm reading began in India about 4,500 years ago?

你知道 4500 年前在印度就開始有看手相的歷史了嗎？
