Abstract(in English) In this research, in order to observe the facial expressions, to verify when Japanese and Chinese speak irony, which parts of their face should be focused on, as well as to judge if they speak ironically or not, we performed some psychological expirements. The result of these experiments is even though there is no hint of irony in the voice, they could judge if others are speaking ironically or not just by observing the facial expressions. Moreover, while Japanese tend to judge by the movement of the mouth, near the mouth as well as cheek, Chinese have a strong tendency to judge by the movement of eyebrow and eyes. In brief, through the result of this research, it is suggested that when Chinese students want to communicate with Japanese without making trouble, they should build some skills to observe the movement of the mouth and near the mouth like Japanese as well as skills to decide when they should understand literally and when they should not.
