Ⅴ.阅读理解

Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations

and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in

general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s

smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she

gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also

hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For

example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to

be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at

strangers in public places although this is less common in big cities. Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some

Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In South-east Asian

culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese

people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.

Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not try to “read”

people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own

culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their

emotions as openly as members of another do does not mean that they do

not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in some

facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal

situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as

Americans do. When with friends, the Japanese and Americans seem to

show their emotions similarly.

It is difficult to make a general statement about Americans and facial

expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United

States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States

seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to

judge people whose ways of showing emotions are different. If we judge

according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of
