的词或短语的冠军。

在接受调查的1020名美国成人中，39%的人认为“无所谓”最令人讨厌，28%的人认为“喜欢”让人讨厌，15%的人

则不喜欢短语“你知道我是什么意思”。

据组织这一调查的玛丽•阿瑞丽称：“这些词都是通过流行文化，比如电影，引入生活的，所以变得流行。调查结果跟这些词在日常对话中是怎样被人接受、如何变得流行有很大关系。”

她还介绍说，在特定情景下，“无所谓”等词语带有鄙视和轻蔑的意味。

10%的受访者认为对话中出现“跟你说实话”是最令人讨厌的，还有5%的受访者认为“事实上”是他们最讨厌的词语。据英国《每日邮报》12月13日报道，文学家重新审视探索名作《蒙娜丽莎》，在"她"的眼里发现了新的东西，这使《蒙娜丽莎》陷入到新一轮的谜团之中。

探索可能是受丹•布朗畅销书《达•芬奇密码》的启示，书中说《蒙娜丽莎》画作中隐藏关于圣杯的线索。

国家文化遗产委员会主席希尔瓦多•文森提说："这些符号用裸眼是看不到的，只有用显微镜扩大后才能发现。蒙娜丽莎的右眼中的字母似乎是LV，可能代表达•芬奇的名字'Leonardo Da Vinci'。而在左眼中的一些符号，则还没有找出明确含义。尽管很难将左眼中的字母看清，但看起来似乎很像CE或者CB。在背景桥拱顶上还发现了数字72或者是L和数字2的图案。"

文森提是某组织的成员之一，他们要求法国当局允许他们挖出达•芬奇的遗体，以证明他的遗骸还在。他们可以尝试重塑达•芬奇的脸部，以此可以看看是不是如许多人猜测的一样，蒙娜丽莎是他的自画像。

According to the on December 16, for the second year in a row, "whatever" was voted by Americans as the most annoying word or phrase in conversation, suggests a US-based poll。

39 percent of the 1020 American adults polled said they found the word most irritating, followed by "like" (28 percent) and "you know what I mean" (15 percent)。

"Perhaps these words are introduced through popular culture, for example movies ... so they catch on," said Mary Azzoli, organizer of the survey, "It has a lot to do with how accepted and how popular they become in every day speech."

Azzoli also said words like "whatever" can be quite dismissive depending on how they are used。

"To tell you the truth" was also found by 10 percent to be the most grating phrase in conversation while "actually" was found by five percent of those polled to be most irritating。

According to the Daily Mail on December 13, the Mona Lisa was at the center of a new mystery after art detectives took a fresh look at the masterpiece and noticed something in her eyes。

The revelation could have come straight from the pages of Dan Brown's best-seller The Da Vinci Code, in which the Mona Lisa is said to contain hidden clues about the Holy Grail。

Silvano Vinceti, president of Italy's National Committee for Cultural Heritage, who spotted the symbols, said: "To the naked eye the symbols are not visible but with a magnifying glass they can clearly be seen. In the right eye appear to be the letters LV which could well stand for his name, Leonardo da Vinci, while in the left eye there are also symbols but they are not as defined. It is very difficult to make them out clearly but they appear to be the letters CE, or it could be the letter B. In the arch of the bridge in the background the number 72 can be seen or it could be an L and the number 2."

Mr Vinceti is a member of a group which is seeking permission to exhume da Vinci's remains from his tomb in France. They want to see if the artist's skull is there so that they can try and recreate his face and establish if the Mona Lisa is in fact a twist on a self-portrait of the artist as some believe。
