[点评]

文章举例说明了什么是身势语,接着叙述了身势语在不同的国家有着不同的意义,所以作者建议我们对各国的身势语作一些了解,以便更好地交往。语言简单易懂,叙述切合主题,清楚明了。

[参考译文]

身势语

身势语是用来帮人们传递信息的,身势语非常有用,因为它可以使对方很容易地明白你自己的意思。我们同别人谈话时,并不仅限于用言语来表达,我们还用表情和身体的动作来向对方表达要传递的信息。例如:挥手表示“再见”,微笑和握手表示欢迎,拍手表示祝贺,点头表示同意,摇

头表示不同意。这些手势对说汉语的人和说英语的人来说,都具有相同的意思。

对于不同的国家来说,身势语也不同。例如,在俄罗斯、法国、阿拉伯国家里,男人们会晤时彼此亲吻。然而,在中国或澳大利亚男人不是亲吻

而是握手。在波多黎哥,人们喜欢彼此触碰,而英语国家的人不大这么做。如果你碰了一下英国人,你应该说声“对不起”。阿拉伯人喜欢在交谈时彼此站得很近,而英语国家的人则乐意保持一定的距离。在有些亚洲国家里,你不可以触摸别人的头。在阿拉伯国家,吃饭用右手的手指,根本不用左手。在亚洲的某些地方,你不可以坐着把脚跷起对着别人。

当你学一门外语时,了解这个国家的身势语很重要。遵守他们国家的习俗会助你与人交流,也会使你在此很愉快舒适。
