1、 阅读提升
We are always using body language in our daily lives. When we talk with someone, we may use more body language than words. However, the same body language may mean different things in different countries. That's why people sometimes do not understand each other correctly.
Pointing to one part of the body can have different meanings in different cultures.For example, in the USA, people point to their heads when they think someone is clever. However, in Europe, it means"He or she is stupid or something is wrong with his or her head." In our Chinese culture, nodding our heads means"yes" and shaking our heads means"no". However, in some parts of India, Greece and Turkey, they mean opposite(相反的) things. In England or the USA, when you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb and the second finger while keeping the other three straight, it means"Everything is all right." However, if we do this in France or Belgium, it means"You' re worth zero." In Greece or Turkey, we should not make this gesture, as it is considered very rude.
The meaning of gestures can also change over time. In the 1960s, the"V" sign meant"peace". However, during World War II, it meant"victory". In Greece, it is an insulting sign. It is very impolite of you to make this gesture in front of a Greek woman.
