Listening to How Bodies Talk

We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions in our interactions with other people.
表达我们的想法
与某人的互动
在与他人交流时,我们既使用言语也通过肢体语言来表达我们的想法和观点。
词汇拓展:
interact v.互动
interaction n.互动
interactive adj.互动的
We can learn a lot about what people are thinking by watching their body language.
语法:
about是介词
其后是宾从
引导词的选择:
从句thinking缺宾语
指thinking的内容--为事物
因此用what引导
通过观察别人的身势语,我们可以了解很多他们的想法
Words are important, but the way people stand, hold their arms, and move their hands can also give us information about their feelings.
语法:
the way 后面的定从引导词可以是:that,in which 或者省略。
本句为省略了引导词的定语从句
言语固然重要,但是人们站立、握紧手臂、移动双手的方式也能帮助我们了解他们的情绪。
Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture.
就像口头语言一样,身势语因文化而异。
词汇精讲:
vary from...to...在...和...之间变化
vary v.变化
varied adj.多变的;各种各样的;
vary with...随着...变化
variety n.变化;多样性
a variety of=varieties of各种各样的
various adj.千差万别的;各种各样的
The crucial thing is using body language in a way that is appropriate to the culture you are in.
关键的
v-ing作表语
that引导定从
适合...
to是介词
省略了引导词that的定从
关键是使用身势语的方式要与你所处的文化相适应
For example, making eye contact—looking into someone’s eyes—in some countries is a way to display interest.
进行眼神交流
直视某人的眼睛
显示;显露
例如,在有些国家,眼神交流——看着别人的眼睛——是表现兴趣的一种方式。
In other countries, by contrast, eye contact is not always approved of.
by contrast 相比之下
approve of 赞成
be approved of 被赞成
相反,在另一些国家,眼神交流并不总是被认可。
For example, in many Middle Eastern countries, men and women are not socially permitted to make eye contact. In Japan, it may demonstrate respect to look down when talking to an older person
例如,在许多中东国家,男女不允许在社交场合进行眼神交流。在日本,和年长的人讲话时,目光向下以表示尊敬。
1.be permitted to do被允许做某事
2.demonstrate respect表示尊重
3.look down向下看 look down on sb看不起某人
4.when talking to an older person.
为省略句=when you are talking...
状语从句的省略:当主从句主语一致且从句谓语含有be动词时,从句可以省略主语和be动词
