英语作⽂:Body Language
Body Language
Body language is used by people for sending messages to one another。 It is very useful because it can help you make yourself easilyunderstood。 When you are talking with others,you are not just using words, but also using expressions and gestures。 For example,
waving one's hand is to say "Good-bye。" A smile and handshake show welcome, and clapping hands means congratulations。 Nodding
the head means agreement, but shaking the head means disagreement。 The gestures are accepted both by Chinese and foreigners as
having the same meanings。
Different countries have different body language。 For example, men in Russia, France and Arab countries kiss each other when theymeet, but men in China or Australia shake hands instead of kissing。 People in Puerto Rio like touching each other, but people from
English speaking countries do not touth each other。 If you touch an English person, you should say "Sorry。' People in Arab countries
like standing close to one another when they are talking, but English people must keep a distance away when they are talking。 In some
Asian countries, you must not touch the head of another person。 In Arab countries, you eat using the fingers of your right land;the left
hand is not used at all。 In parts of Asia you must not sit with your feet pointing at another person。
When you use a foreign language, it is very important to know the meanings of gestures and movements in the foreign country。Following the customs will help you communicate with people and make your stay there much more pleasant and comfortable。

[参考译⽂]
⾝势语
⾝势语是⽤来帮⼈们传递信息的',⾝势语⾮常有⽤,因为它可以使对⽅很容易地明⽩你⾃⼰的意思。我们同别⼈谈话时,并不仅限于⽤⾔语
来表达,我们还⽤表情和⾝体的动作来向对⽅表达要传递的信息。例如:挥⼿表⽰“再见”,微笑和握⼿表⽰欢迎,拍⼿表⽰祝贺,点头表⽰同意,
摇
头表⽰不同意。这些⼿势对说汉语的⼈和说的⼈来说,都具有相同的意思。
对于不同的国家来说,⾝势语也不同。例如,在俄罗斯、法国、阿拉伯国家⾥,男⼈们会晤时彼此亲吻。然⽽,在中国或澳⼤利亚男⼈不是亲
吻
⽽是握⼿。在波多黎哥,⼈们喜欢彼此触碰,⽽英语国家的⼈不⼤这么做。如果你碰了⼀下英国⼈,你应该说声“对不起”。阿拉伯⼈喜欢在交
谈时彼此站得很近,⽽英语国家的⼈则乐意保持⼀定的距离。在有些亚洲国家⾥,你不可以触摸别⼈的头。在阿拉伯国家,吃饭⽤右⼿的⼿指,根
本不⽤左⼿。在亚洲的某些地⽅,你不可以坐着把脚跷起对着别⼈。
当你学⼀门外语时,了解这个国家的⾝势语很重要。遵守他们国家的习俗会助你与⼈交流,也会使你在此很愉快舒适。
