We often use gestures or body movements to stress what we are saying. For example, when I lecture, I often use my hands to emphasize(强调)points or point to something on the blackboard. Some people use them more than others. The victory sign, the OK sign, the goodbye wave and the blowing of a kiss are all popular gestures in America. It is important to recognize, however, that most gestures are not universally recognized. For example, although the OK gesture means acceptance in America, it has other meanings in other cultures. In France it means worthlessness. And in Greece, it is considered obscene(淫秽的). There are some sex differences in nonverbal behavior. In American culture, men tend to sit or stand with legs apart and hands outward, while women tend to keep legs together and hands at their sides. Women are also better than men at understanding nonverbal gestures. A nonverbal behavior is to have the tongue just slightly protruding(突出)from the mouth. A study showed that people were less willing to approach others who had their tongues showing. Perhaps this is why people often tend to avoid individuals with bad nonverbal behaviors. When we make decisions about other people, we learn to recognize nonverbal cues(提示)and understand them along with nonverbal information. 【语篇概述】世界各地的手势语你了解吗? 了解它们不管是对我们出国旅游还是避免交流中的误解, 都大有裨益。阅读本文了解一下吧。1.
