英語(yǔ)作文：Body Language
Body Language
Body language is used by people for sending messages to one another。 It is very useful because it can help you make yourself easily understood。 When you are talking with others，you are not just using words， but also using expressions and gestures。 For example， waving one＇s hand is to say "Good-bye。" A smile and handshake show welcome， and clapping hands means congratulations。 Nodding the head means agreement， but shaking the head means disagreement。 The gestures are accepted both by Chinese and foreigners as having the same meanings。
Different countries have different body language。 For example， men in Russia， France and Arab countries kiss each other when they meet， but men in China or Australia shake hands instead of kissing。 People in Puerto Rio like touching each other， but people from English speaking countries do not touth each other。 If you touch an English person， you should say "Sorry。＇ People in Arab countries like standing close to one another when they are talking， but English people must keep a distance away when they are talking。 In some Asian countries， you must not touch the head of another person。 In Arab countries， you eat using the fingers of your right land;the left hand is not used at all。 In parts of Asia you must not sit with your feet pointing at another person。
When you use a foreign language， it is very important to know the meanings of gestures and movements in the foreign country。 Following the customs will help you communicate with people and make your stay there much more pleasant and comfortable。
[點(diǎn)評(píng)]
文章舉例說(shuō)明了什么是身勢(shì)語(yǔ)，接著敘述了身勢(shì)語(yǔ)在不同的國(guó)家有著不同的意義，所以作者建議我們對(duì)各國(guó)的身勢(shì)語(yǔ)作一些了解，以便更好地交往。語(yǔ)言簡(jiǎn)單易懂，敘述切合主題，清楚明了。
[參考譯文]
身勢(shì)語(yǔ)
身勢(shì)語(yǔ)是用來(lái)幫人們傳遞信息的，身勢(shì)語(yǔ)非常有用，因?yàn)樗梢允箤?duì)方很容易地明白你自己的意思。我們同別人談話時(shí)，并不僅限于用言語(yǔ)來(lái)表達(dá)，我們還用表情和身體的動(dòng)作來(lái)向?qū)Ψ奖磉_(dá)要傳遞的信息。例如：揮手表示“再見(jiàn)”，微笑和握手表示歡迎，拍手表示祝賀，點(diǎn)頭表示同意，搖
頭表示不同意。這些手勢(shì)對(duì)說(shuō)漢語(yǔ)的人和說(shuō)英語(yǔ)的人來(lái)說(shuō)，都具有相同的意思。
對(duì)于不同的國(guó)家來(lái)說(shuō)，身勢(shì)語(yǔ)也不同。例如，在俄羅斯、法國(guó)、阿拉伯國(guó)家里，男人們會(huì)晤時(shí)彼此親吻。然而，在中國(guó)或澳大利亞男人不是親吻
而是握手。在波多黎哥，人們喜歡彼此觸碰，而英語(yǔ)國(guó)家的人不大這么做。如果你碰了一下英國(guó)人，你應(yīng)該說(shuō)聲“對(duì)不起”。阿拉伯人喜歡在交談時(shí)彼此站得很近，而英語(yǔ)國(guó)家的人則樂(lè)意保持一定的`距離。在有些亞洲國(guó)家里，你不可以觸摸別人的頭。在阿拉伯國(guó)家，吃飯用右手的手指，根本不用左手。在亞洲的某些地方，你不可以坐著把腳蹺起對(duì)著別人。
當(dāng)你學(xué)一門外語(yǔ)時(shí)，了解這個(gè)國(guó)家的身勢(shì)語(yǔ)很重要。遵守他們國(guó)家的習(xí)俗會(huì)助你與人交流，也會(huì)使你在此很愉快舒適。
