We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions in our interactions with other people. 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.
1.both……and 两者都
2.express v.表达 expression n.表达;表情
3.hold their arms 抱臂
在与他人交流时,我们既使用言语也通过身势语来表达我们的想法和观点。通过观察别人的身势语,我们可以了解很多他们的想法。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. 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
spoken language口头语言
varies from to 从A到B不等
is appropriate to对……合适
make eye contact 眼神交流
a way to do sth=a way of doing sth 一种做某事的方法
display interest表现兴趣
permit sb to do sth 允许某人做
look down 目光向下
look up
look after look for
look forward to doing sth
就像口头语言一样,身势语因文化而异。关键是使用身势语的方式要与你所处的文化相适应。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。相反,在另一些国家,眼神交流并不总是被认可。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。
_____________目睹某人做某事
___________偶遇,遇见
_____________避免做某事
____________________被认为是
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.
witness sb doing
encounter
avoid doing
be considered (as/to be)
1.gesture n.姿势
meaning n.意思
mean v.意思是 adj.吝啬的
“OK”这个手势在不同的文化中有不同的含义。在日本,如果看到另一个人用这个手势,可能认为这意味着钱。在法国,看到同一个手势的人可能会将其解读为“零”。但是在巴西和德国,你应该避免使用这个手势,因为它被认为是不礼貌的。
1.around the world 在全世界
shake v.摇动 shake hands 握手
nod v.点头
opposite adj.相反的
each other 互相,彼此 favour doing 更喜欢做某事
bow from the waist 弯腰鞠躬
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.
甚至我们用来表示“是”与“不是”的手势,在世界各地也不同。在许多国家,摇头表示“不”,点头表示“是”。相比之下,在保加利亚和阿尔巴尼亚南部,这两种手势的含义是相反的。差异还表现在我们彼此接触的方式,我们与谈话对象的距离,以及我们见面或告别时的行为。在法国和俄罗斯这样的国家,人们和朋友见面时可能会亲吻他们的脸颊。在其他地方,人们见面时更喜欢握手,弯腰鞠躬或者点头。
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.
seem to do sth 似乎做某事
rest v/n.休息 have a rest
stomachache headache toothache earache
有些手势似乎在每个地方都有相同的含义。双手并拢放在头的一侧,同时闭上眼睛表示“睡觉”。用餐后轻轻用手在胃部转圈表示“我饱了”。
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.
1.use v./n. useful adj.有用的
get through 通过,度过 situation n.情况,状况
strange adj.奇怪的,陌生的——stranger n.陌生人
break down barriers 打破障碍
apologise v.道歉 ask for help 寻求帮助 start a conversation 开启对话
suggest doing sth 建议做某事
有些身势语有许多不同的用途。最好的例子也许是微笑。微笑可以帮助我们度过难关,在陌生人的世界里找到朋友。微笑可以打破障碍。我们可以用微笑来道歉,跟某人打招呼,寻求帮助或者开始对话。专家建议对着镜子微笑来让自己更快乐、更坚强。而且如果我们感到沮丧或孤独,没有什么比看到好朋友的笑脸更好的了。
