Okay, so I've been talking for about 12 minutes now, and you've probably been sitting there listening to me, analyzing my speech patterns and body language and trying to work out if you should take any notice of what I'm saying, whether I'm telling the truth or whether I'm lying, but if so you've probably completely failed, because although we all think we can catch a liar from their body language and speech patterns, hundreds of psychological tests over the years have shown that all of us, including police officers and detectives, are basically at chance when it comes to detecting lies from body language and verbal patterns.
Bueno, he estado hablando durante unos 12 minutos, y Uds. han estado escuchándome, analizando mis patrones verbales y mi lenguaje corporal e intentando averiguar si deben hacer caso a lo que digo. Si digo la verdad, o si miento. Y si es así, probablemente han fracasado, porque aunque creemos posible detectar a un mentiroso por su lenguaje corporal y patrones verbales, cientos de pruebas psicológicas recientes muestran que todos, incluyendo policías y detectives, detectan básicamente al azar las mentiras a través del lenguaje corporal y patrones verbales.
