1、 Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all!It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying .Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and r
2、eceptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someo

7、e word “communication ”, most people think of words and sentences. Although these are very important , we communicate with more than just spoken and written words. Indeed, body positions are part of what we call “body language ”. We see examples of unconscious body language very often, yet there is
8、also “learned ” body language, which varies from culture to culture .We use “learned” body language when we are introduced to strangers. Like other animals, 10 we are on guard until we know it is safe to relax. So every culture has developed a formal way to greet strangers, to show them we are not a
9、ggressive. Traditionally, Europeans and Americans shake hands. They do this with the right hand the strongest hand for most people. If our right hand is busy greeting someone, it cannot be holding a weapon. So the gesture is saying, “I trust you. Look, Im not carrying a threatening weapon.” If you s

13、意识的身体语言的例子,但也有“习得的”身体语言,“习得的”身体语言在不同的文化中各不相同。 当我们被介绍给陌生人时,我们使用“习得的”身体语言。和别的动物一样,除非我们感觉到很安全才会放松,否则将一直处于戒备状态。所以,每一种文化都形成了一种正规的方式来问候陌生人,以向他们表明我们并没有敌意。欧美人的传统是握手。他们握右手右手对大多数人来说最有力。如果我们的右手忙着和人打招呼,就不可能握有武器了。因此,这种手势的意思是:“我信任你。瞧,我没带威胁性的武器。”假如你和别人握手,就表明你信任他们。当我们达成协议时,我们握手。意思就是:“我们达成了协议,相互信任。”Greetings in Asia

20、id/n.(自称或被认为)能看透别人心思的人 48 第 35 段译文 亚洲国家的问候并不包括触摸别人,但总是有手的接触。与人打招呼时,中国人的传统方式是将右手放在左手上,稍稍躬身而行礼。穆斯林行“额手礼”,用手触心、嘴和前额。印度人双手交合,恭敬地行合十礼。在上述例子中,手都在忙于打招呼,不可能拿武器。 即使是现在,有些人在非正式场合打招呼时,还会用手来表示信任对方。美国年轻人常常会用“来击个掌吧!”的表达打招呼。然后一个人举起手,手掌向外,五指展开。另一个人同样举起手,拍打对方举过头顶的手。现在,它是一种很常见的打招呼方式。身体语言对任何研究者来说都具有吸引力。人们通过姿势传达的信息要比通过
