　　This is the lowest point of the jawbone, so the most outward pointing part of the chin. It comes from the Greek word for ‘jaw’ with the –ion suffix added to it, and only came into usage in the late 19th century.

　　glabella

　　印堂

　　The glabella is the smooth part of the forehead, between and directly above the eyebrows. The term comes from the Latin glaber, meaning ‘without hair, smooth, bald’. It is used medically to test for dehydration, as the skin becomes wrinkled and shrivelled when dehydrated.

　　额头眉间稍高处平整光滑的部分。这个术语来源于拉丁语glaber, 意为“没有毛发、平整、光秃”。医学上用以测试是否脱水，因为脱水时皮肤会收缩、形成褶皱。
