We can learn a lot about what people are thinking by watching their body language. Words are important, but the way people stand, hold their arms, and move their hands can also give us information about their feelings. Para1 Listening To How Our Bodies Talk Para2 Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture. The crucial thing is using body language in a way that is appropriate to the culture you are in. For example, making eye contact—looking into someone’s eyes—in some countries is a way to display interest. In other countries, by contrast, eye contact is not always approved of. 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. The gesture for “OK” has different meanings in different cultures. In Japan, someone who witnesses another person employing the gesture might think it means money. In France, a person encountering an identical gesture may interpret it as meaning zero. However, you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil and Germany, as it is not considered polite. Para3 Even the gestures we use for “yes” and “no” differ around the world. In many countries, shaking one’s head means “no”, and nodding means “yes”. By comparison, in Bulgaria and southern Albania, the gestures have the opposite meaning. There are also differences in how we touch each other, how close we stand to someone we are talking to, and how we act when we meet or part. In countries like France and Russia, people may kiss their friends on the cheek when they meet. Elsewhere, people favour shaking hands, bowing from the waist, or nodding the head when they meet someone else. Para4 Some gestures seem to have the same meaning everywhere. Placing your hands together and resting them on the side of your head while closing your eyes means “sleep”. A good way of saying “I am full” is moving your hand in circles over your stomach after a meal. Para5 Para6 Some body language has many different uses. Perhaps the best example is smiling. A smile can help us get through difficult situations and find friends in a world of strangers. A smile can break down barriers. We can use a smile to apologise, to greet someone, to ask for help, or to start a conversation. Experts suggest smiling at yourself in the mirror to make yourself feel happier and stronger. And if we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing better than seeing the smiling face of a good friend. 语境中复习单词 1. ____________time 适当的时间 appropriate 2. make a _________ 做手势 gesture 3. a _________ to…… 的见证人 witness 4. a low _______ 一个深深的鞠躬 bow 5. the ____________between……之间的互动 interaction 6. the language ________ 语言障碍 barrier 7. a _________ man可信赖的人 reliable 8. do sb. a ________帮助某人 favour 9. hold back one’s ________某人忍住怒火 anger 10. ________a lack of interest暗示缺乏兴趣 imply 12. _________a seat占座 occupy 13. _______him in the eye盯着他的眼睛看 stare 短语汉译英 1. __________________同时 at the same time 2. _________凝视；盯着看 stare at 3. _________访问；要求；正式邀请 call on 4. __________起作用；忙着…… at work 5. __________调整；调节；适应 adjust to 6. ___________________________ 因文化而异 vary from culture to culture 7. __________________ 适合…… be appropriate to 8. ____________相比之下 by contrast 9. ____________赞同 approve of 10. _______________（与……）相比较 by comparison 11. _________________推理；推断 make inferences 12. _____________消除；分解；打破 break down null 183807.67 $$
