Making the“OK”gesture with the thumb and index finger(食指)is a positive hand gesture in the United States.It is made by touching the tip of the thumb to the tip of the index finger.The other three fingers are extended above the thumb and index finger.However, this hand gesture is considered insulting(侮辱的)in Germany and Latin America． The“victory” hand gesture is made by bending the third and fourth fingers to touch the tip of the thumb and extending the index and middle finger upward, separating them by about an inch to form the letter V．Facing the palm outward to the person finishes the victory gesture.Allied leaders and hippies(嬉皮士)used this gesture at different times.The Allied leaders used it to show the symbol of victory during World War Ⅱ.Hippies used it during the Vietnam War to express their anti­war feelings. The “thumb­up” hand gesture is made by extending your thumb into the air while curling the other four fingers inward．The meaning behind this gesture, at least in Western cultures, is “well done” or “things are great”．However, in such places as Latin America, Sardinia, Greece, and southern Italy, the gesture has the opposite meaning.In these places, this gesture is viewed as negative and insulting. 1．negatively adv.　　　 消极地 2．universally adv. 普遍地 3．extend vt. 扩展；使伸长；延长 4．separate vt. 分离；分开 5．symbol n. 象征 6．opposite adj. 相反的 1．Where is the “OK” gesture considered insulting?
