今年春节档电影《镖人》中，越剧演员陈丽君咬掉箭羽，射出拐弯箭的场景令不少网友印象深刻。
也正因这一名场面，“咬掉一侧箭羽能不能射出拐弯箭”在社交平台上掀起热烈讨论。
The Spring Festival box office hit
Blades of the Guardiansfeatured a scene that left a lasting impression on audiences. In the film, Yue Opera actress Chen Lijun's character bites the feathers off one side of an arrow before firing it in a curved trajectory to hit her target. The visually stunning moment sparked a heated online debate: Can removing fletching from one side actually make an arrow curve through the air?
今天，中国科学院物理研究所进行了科普，给出了明确结论：
“咬掉一侧箭羽不仅不能让箭优雅地绕弯，反而会让它飞得又歪又短，甚至原地翻滚。”
The Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Physics has officially weighed in, and the answer is a definitive no.
In a detailed social media post, the institute explained that the film's depiction is purely an example of the film's animators taking a little bit of artistic license. "Biting off the feathers on one side will not allow the arrow to elegantly curve. Instead, it will fly erratically, travel a shorter distance, or even tumble end over end," the institute said.
全文如下：
在评论区，有网友表示已经看到有人发布视频“复制”出了箭转弯的效果，不过，很多人在回复中做出了解释。
Following the institute's post, some netizens pointed to videos circulating online that claim to replicate the curving arrow effect. However, as the physicists noted, these experiments typically rely on altered arrow construction, such as shifting the center of gravity, not simply removing fletching.
