46 Body Language¹

 

　　If you can speak English, you know a lot of English words. You can read, speakand understand. But there is another kind of language you need to know — thelanguage of the body.
All over the world, people "talk?with their hands, with their heads, and withtheir eyes. When Japanese² people meet, they bow³. When Indians⁴ meet, they puttheir hands together.
When British⁵ and American people meet someone⁶ for the first time, they shakehands. They do not usually shake⁷ hands with people they know well. Womensometimes kiss⁸ their women friends, and men kiss women friends (on the cheekonly). When a man meets a man friend, he just smiles, and says "Hello? Men donot kiss each other, or hold hands. Even⁹ fathers and sons do not often kisseach other.

身 体 语 言

即使你会说英语，你知道很多英文单词，你会读，会说，能听懂，但还有另外一种语言你需要了解——那就是身体语言。
在全世界，人们都用他们的手、头和眼睛“说话”。当日本人见面时，他们相互鞠躬。印度人见面时他们双手合十。
当英国人和美国人第一次和别人见面时，他们互相握手。通常，他们不和熟悉的人握手。女人有时亲吻她们的女性朋友，男人也会亲吻女性朋友（只亲脸颊）。当男人见到男性朋友时，他只微笑着说声“你好”。男人之间不会互相亲吻或牵手。即使是父子之间也不会经常亲吻对方。.
