When studying foreign speech, don’t forget about body language, says Anne Merritt.学习外国语言时，别忘了身体语言，语言学作家安妮·梅里特讲到。
Something as simple as a smile can display friendliness in one culture, embarrassment in another, impatience in a third. Even silence means different things in different places.有些动作，简单如一个微笑，可以在第一种文化中表示友好，第二种中表示尴尬，第三种中表示不耐烦。甚至沉默在不同的地方也有不同的意味。
Language learners will put a lot of time (and money) into mastering the vocabulary and structure of a foreign language without ever considering these non-linguistic parts of communication.语言学习者投资了大量的时间（和金钱）去掌握一门外语的词汇和语法结构，却从来没有考虑过这些在沟通过程中和语言学无关的方面。
To help you master these significant parts of communication – or simply avoid making an embarrassing faux pas – here are four non-verbal traits that vary from culture to culture...为了帮助大家掌握这些交流中的重要方面——或者只是简单地避免失态——以下是四种在多个国家文化中各不相同的身体语言„„
Gestures手势
When trying to communicate through a language barrier, it’s natural to use gestures as a way of illustrating your point. We assume it’s helpful, since our words are being visually reinforced. Hand motions are, however, culturally relative, and the wrong gesture can inadvertently lead to confusion or offence.尝试战胜语言障碍交流的时候，自然而然地就会用手势作为一种描述自己观点的方式。我们认为这会有所帮助，因为这样一来我们说的话会在视觉上得以强调。然而，手势和文化相关，错误地使用手势会在无意中带来交流中的困惑或冒犯。
The thumbs-up sign is equivalent to the middle finger in Greece and Sardinia. Tapping your finger to your temple is a gesture to show memory in North America, but suggests insanity in Russia. Even nodding yes or shaking one’s head no can be misunderstood abroad. The yes-no gestures are reversed in countries like Bulgaria and Albania. In Turkey, “no” is gestured by nodding the head up and back.在希腊和撒丁岛，竖大拇指等同于竖中指。用手指敲太阳穴，在北美表示记忆，在俄罗斯则表示精神错乱，甚至连点头肯定或者摇头否定在国外也可以被误解。这个肯定和否定的方式在诸如保加利亚和阿尔巴尼亚这样的国家是反着的。在土耳其，否定是通过上下点头表示的。
It’s not just the individual gestures that can cause miscommunication, but the rate of gesturing. Some societies, like Italy and Spain, are known for talking with their hands. Others are more reserved with body movement as a form of politeness. In parts of East Asia, gesturing is considered boorish behaviour, and would be rude in a professional setting.不仅是这些单个的手势可以造成错误传达，还有手势的使用程度。在有些国家，像意大利和西班牙，人们以用手势交谈著称。其他国家在使用身体语言方面则更加保守以表示礼貌。在有些东亚地区，使用手势被认为是粗鲁的行为，而且在职业场合中会很无礼。
Silence沉默
Though it can feel like a void in communication, silence can be very meaningful in different cultural contexts. Western cultures, especially North America and the UK, tend to view silence as problematic. In our interactions at work, school, or with friends, silence is uncomfortable. It is often perceived as a sign of inattentiveness or disinterest.尽管沉默感觉上是交流的空缺，它却可以在不同的文化背景中充满含义。西方文化中，尤其在北美和英国，倾向于将沉默看做有疑问的。平时在工作，学校以及和朋友的交流互动中，沉默是让人不舒服的。它通常被当作不在意或者不感兴趣的表现。
In other cultures, however, silence is not viewed as a negative circumstance. In China, silence can be used to show agreement and receptiveness. In many aboriginal cultures, a question will be answered only after a period of contemplative silence. In Japan, silence from women can be considered an expression of femininity.Though the North American/European instinct may be to fill the silence, this can be cross-culturally perceived as pushy and arrogant.然而，在
其他文化中，沉默却不是负面的反应。在中国，沉默可以用来表示认同和接受。在许多土著文化中，一个问题提出后，只有在沉默中思考之后，才会有人回答。在日本，女性的沉默被看作是女性气质的展现。尽管北美/欧洲人的直接反应是去填补沉默的空缺，这在其他文化中却会被认为是爱出风头或者自大的表现。
Touch身体接触
Britain, along with much of Northern Europe and the Far East, is classed as a “non-contact” culture, in which there’s very little physical contact in people’s daily interactions. Even accidentally brushing someone’s arm is grounds for an apology. By comparison, in the high-contact cultures of the Middle East, Latin America, and southern Europe, physical touch is a big part of socialising.英国以及大多数北欧和远东国家，被归为“没有身体接触”的文化，因为人们的日常互动中几乎没有身体接触。甚至不小心擦到别人的手臂也必须要道歉。与之形成对比的，是中东，拉丁美洲和南欧等这些人与人之间有着频繁身体接触的国家——身体接触是社交活动中的很大一部分。
What’s more, there are different standards for who touches whom and where. In much of the Arab world, men hold hands and kiss each other in greeting, but would never do the same with a woman. In Thailand and Laos, it is taboo to touch anyone’s head, even children.此外，关于谁和谁接触以及接触哪个部位都有不同的标准。在大多数阿拉伯世界，男性之间会在问候的时候握手并亲对方，但绝不会对女性做同样的事情。在泰国和老挝，触摸任何人的头部，甚至小孩子，都是禁忌。
In South Korea, elders can touch younger people with force when trying to get through a crowd, but younger people can’t do the same. Naturally, these different standards of contact can lead to misunderstanding. An Argentinian may see a Scandinavian as cold and aloof, while the Scandinavian may see the Argentinian as pushy and presumptuous.在南韩，年长者想要穿过人群时可以使些力气去碰触年轻人，但是年轻人不能这样做。这些不同的标准自然可能引发误解。一个阿根廷人也许认为斯堪的纳维亚人冷漠，然而这个斯堪的纳维亚人则可能认为阿根廷人自大冒昧。
Eye Contact眼神接触
In most western countries, frequent eye contact is a sign of confidence and attentiveness. We tend to assume that a conversation partner who looks away is either disengaged or lying. Of course, this is not the standard around the world.在大多数西方国家，频繁的眼神接触是自信和专注的表现。人们倾向于认为眼神飘离的谈话者要么不在意，要么在说谎。当然，这绝不是世界标准。
In many Middle Eastern countries, same-gender eye contact tends to be more sustained and intense than the western standard. In many Asian, African, and Latin American countries, however, this unbroken eye contact would be considered aggressive and confrontational. These cultures tend to be quite conscious of hierarchy, and avoiding eye contact is a sign of respect for bosses and elders. In these parts of the world, children won’t look at an adult who is speaking to them, and nor will employees to their bosses.在很多中东国家，同性间的眼神接触比起西方国家会更多更久。然而，在很多亚洲，非洲和拉丁美洲国家，这种不间断的眼神接触会被认为是充满侵略和对抗意味的。这些国家很在意等级，避免眼神接触是对老板和年长者表示尊重。在这些地区，孩子不会盯着对他们讲话的大人看，员工也不会这样看老板。
South Korean plastic surgeons are among the best in the world. In fact they’re so good that people from other countries like China and Japan are actually having trouble getting back home. 韩国整容手术的技术可谓世界一流，以至于一些来自中国或日本的整容者在结束手术后回国总会遇到一些麻烦。
That’s sounds really crazy, but it’s true. When most people get a nose job or a lip job, they just look like ‘enhanced’ versions of themselves. But people returning from a plastic surgery vacation in South Korea are truly transformed. You’d have to look very closely at the ‘before’ and ‘after’ photographs, and even then, it’s hard to make a connection. So I suppose you couldn’t really blame airport officials for stopping these tourists from returning home. 这听起来很疯狂，但却是事实。一些人做了隆鼻或丰唇手术后，整个脸看起来都更立体了。在韩国整形以后绝对是大变身。即使
你仔细观察整容前后的对比照片，也很难发现这竟然是同一个人。所以我想你也不会责怪机场的工作人员把她们拦下来了吧。
Thankfully, Korean hospitals have found a way to work around the issue. They are now handing out ‘plastic surgery certificates’ on request to overseas patients. These certificates include the patient’s passport number, the duration of stay, the name and ocation of the hospital and the hospital’s official seal. Travelers can use the certificate to help convince immigration officials on the return trip home. 好在韩国整形医院找到了解决办法。他们会给海外整形者发放“整形手术证明”。这个证明包括了整形者护照的编号，在韩国停留的时间，医院的名称和地址以及医院的印章。患者在回国的时候可以用这张证明说服那些机场官员。
In a bizarre incident, a total of 23 women were recently held back at Chinese immigration. They were between the ages of 36 and 54, and had bigger eyes, higher noses and slimmer chins than depicted on their passports. “After they took off their huge hats and big sunglasses following our request, we saw them looking different, with bandages and stiches here and there,” said Chen Tao, a Shanghai Hongqiao Airport Officer. “We had to compare their uncorrected parts with their photos very carefully.” 最近发生了件奇事，由23名中国女性组成的整形旅行团回到了中国。她们的年龄都在36岁至54岁之间，本人和护照上的照片相比，眼睛更大，鼻梁更高，下巴更尖。 上海虹桥机场的海关人员陈涛说：“她们应要求拿掉帽子和眼镜之后，我发现她们和护照上完全不一样了，脸上缠着绷带或是充满针眼。我们必须十分仔细地对比她们脸上没有做过手术的地方。”
In 2011, about 2,500 medical tourists visited South Korea. The number increased ten-fold last year, to a whopping 25,176 visitors. Interestingly, a majority of these tourists are from China. While the Chinese are gaining in prosperity, they don’t seem to trust their doctors anymore. According to plastic surgeon Park Byong-choon, “Chinese parents come to Korea even for childbirth. The death of a young singer under a Chinese cosmetic surgeon’s knife a few years ago makes people think twice about doing it at home.” 2011年，总共有2500人到韩国进行整形手术。去年这个数字翻了四翻。有趣的是，这些人大多数来自中国。虽然中国越来越繁荣，但人们对医生似乎没那么信任了。一位韩国整形医师说：“中国父母甚至带着刚刚出生的婴儿来。几年前一位中国歌手因整容去世，这件事让中国人在选择国内整形机构时变得格外慎重。”
When showbiz celebrities junk media-speak for a spontaneous burst of plain talk, controversies ensue. But it is better they hold personal beliefs that offend than fake a semblance of propriety that pleases.
Chinese filmmaker Feng Xiaogang is known for his uncompromising remarks as well as for his top-grossing movies. Whenever he appears at the annual Shanghai International Film Festival, some newspapers reserve headline space for him, knowing full well that he will "fire at some person or object" and create shock waves throughout the industry or even beyond it.
In 2010, Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein excused himself after making a brief statement at one of the festival#39;s popular forums, saying he had to catch a flight, and Feng followed up by saying Weinstein was "an outright fraudster".
The press later checked Weinstein#39;s itinerary and found him shopping in Shanghai later that day rather than rushing to the airport. Of course, Feng was not aware of that; he was referring to Weinstein#39;s handling of Chinese films in the North American market. The co-founder of Miramax Films and co-chairman of The Weinstein Company countered in a subsequent statement that Feng#39;s film, The Banquet, which he distributed in the United States, was among the most profitable of the Chinese director#39;s movies in that market.
In Hollywood, Weinstein is considered to be brash, but compared with Feng he is almost a diplomat. I#39;ve heard him in interviews refusing to bad-mouth his Hollywood peers, I mean those who had rubbed him the wrong way or those whose guts he hated. It seems an industry practice that one should not do this kind of thing openly.
So, what is your assessment of Feng and his behavior? Is he a loose cannon whose childish recklessness will eventually undo his career, or is he a rare exception in a business where a facade of hypocrisy is to be meticulously maintained even though backstabbing is generally the norm? By attacking Weinstein at such a high-profile event, said some pundits, Feng had cut out the possibility of his movies ever finding their way into wide distribution across the Pacific.
Showbiz is not an industry whose practitioners can freely express themselves, at least not those in the big league. They have public personas from which they derive their livelihood. The public has a certain expectation of them, which is usually determined during the molding phase of a career. Feng started out as witty but non-confrontational, a positioning shaped by his early comedies. But as revealed in his two memoirs, he kept his head low and his works inoffensive so that they would have an easier time with both censors and audiences.
As his status as the top film comedian of our age solidified, he became more and more vocal. In 2004, he led a relief charity drive for the survivors of the Indian Ocean tsunami. In recent years, he has repeatedly assailed the country#39;s film censorship system. After the release of his latest comedy, Personal Tailor, he threw down the gauntlet to the nation#39;s film critics, whom he charged with deliberately misguiding the public.
All these are shortcuts to upsetting different strata of society. Even the charity effort effectively set him against the glitterati he managed to organize because each of them deemed it a snub when they did not get the publicity they sought. I won#39;t go into details about the ruckus with the critics because it involved me as well.
Most members of the public tend to view such acts in light of the specific viewpoints being proffered. If they agreed with Feng in his scuffle with the critics, they would say he#39;s a man of integrity and courage, daring to stand up to bullies whom thought they controlled public opinion; if not, the argument would be that he is not gracious towards criticism, which is a blemish for a person of his prominence.
However, if we take a step back and scrutinize celebrity behavior, we must determine whether our society benefits from the beau monde that is decorum-abiding and politically correct or one that dares to speak its mind even when it goes against the tide. In other words, are they unelected flag carriers of our tastes and preferences, or are they individuals entitled to their own opinions, some of which have nothing to do with their profession?
Coincidentally, Feng was once on the receiving end of a similar volley from a colleague. Actor Sun Haiying time and again lambasted his work for being crass. Sun, who rose to fame after starring in a television drama series about veteran revolutionaries titled Days of Burning Fervor, obviously represented the old establishment in his aesthetics and he attacked low-brow entertainment, official corruption and homosexuality with equal gusto.
Feng shot back by saying Sun had had his brain damaged by the burning fervor. A further examination would reveal that Feng was pitted against Sun on only the aesthetic point. In his memoir, he has detailed his positive feelings about Sun#39;s role as a soldier, which reminded him of his own military service.
The back and forth between them was conducted through the traditional press. Nowadays one can do this without the filtering of an intermediary by going directly to social media. Either way, it may not be an optimal approach to a rational debate. But it has its own way of bringing issues of gravitas to the surface of simmering sentiments. There#39;s nothing like the exchange of two firebrands, each with tens of millions of followers on a microblog, to spark an intense interest in matters of wider ramification.
Had Feng kept quiet, only a few industry insiders would have been informed of the ways Chinese movies are distributed overseas. Had Sun suppressed his aversion to gays, he might have not learned that many of his peers in the entertainment business are among the targets of his moral indignation. And we the public might not have detected a rift in
generational perception of the standards for entertainment products.
People in showbiz are caught in a quandary. It is generally deemed inappropriate to make public comments on the works of their peers. And other topics could be beyond the reach of their professional expertise. Sure, some stars champion causes close to their hearts or endorse propositions of a charitable nature. But most steer clear of outright controversies.
People like Feng Xiaogang have their own logic. They want to carve out more space for their views after they have attained a certain level of professional achievement and social influence. Rather than placing themselves in a straitjacket of public anticipation, they turn their clout into more leeway for what they say and what they do.
Feng is a paragon of this art. In his memoirs, he goes to great lengths to offer his take on many of the hottest filmmakers of our era, which is taboo unless it is padded with ingratiating eulogies. He manages to get his points across in a language that seems deferential yet does not drown out the truth. It is a linguistic skill he also employs in his movies, which makes it harder for people from other cultures to fully appreciate them.
Even though I do not see eye to eye with Sun Haiying on many of the points he raised, I don#39;t think he should be shamed into silence simply because his perspective would be seen by some as a sign of bigotry. His candor is helpful to the future reconciliation of what are now regarded as moral disparities, just as positive role models can help dispel the clouds of stigma.
娱乐圈所谓的名人们要是愿意和媒体坦率地进行一次谈话，绝对会引来争议。但是比起装作道貌岸然的伪君子，让所有人都满意，人们更愿意看到他们宁愿冒犯所有人，也要坚持自己的信仰。
中国著名电影制作人冯小刚为众人所熟知，他言语犀利，直言不讳，同时他所导的电影票房屡创新高。他只要一出现在上海国际电影节上，某些报纸杂志都会下意识地把头版头条留给他，因为他们知道他一定会“对某人或某事枪林弹雨般地抨击”，震惊全行业，甚至影响其他行业。
2010年，好莱坞电影大亨哈维·韦恩斯坦(Harvey Weinstein)在电影节的热门论坛上三言两语地说了几句，随后借口说自己得去赶飞机，先行离开。冯小刚紧接着便说道韦恩斯坦就是个“不折不扣的伪君子。”
后经媒体查证韦恩斯坦的旅行日程，发现韦恩斯坦当天并没有赶去机场，而是在上海购物。当然，冯小刚当时说那话时并不知情，他所指的韦恩斯坦对在北美市场上映的中国电影没有认真对待。米拉麦克斯电影公司创始人之一兼韦恩斯坦公司董事长的韦恩斯坦随后针对此事回应道，他在美国发行了冯小刚拍摄的电影《夜宴》，这部影片在所有中国导演拍摄的作品中，盈利遥遥领先。
在好莱坞，韦恩斯坦的无礼傲慢人尽皆知，但是和冯小刚相比，他俨然就是个虚伪的政客。我曾在采访节目中听到韦恩斯坦坦言拒绝攻击诽谤业内同行人士，哪怕是那些公然抨击过他的和那些他讨厌的人。似乎这已然成为一种行业规则：人们不应该在公开场合说这类话题。
因此，你会如何评价冯小刚的行为呢?他是个我行我素，自以为是的狂妄之徒吗?他的幼稚鲁莽终将导致其事业毁于一旦吗?或者说他是这个满是尔虞我诈，分秒如履薄冰的行业中，众人皆“假”我独“真”的稀罕物?一些权威人士说，冯小刚在这样万众瞩目的场合毫不客气地给了韦恩斯坦一击，也就埋葬了之后在北美大陆大肆宣传他的电影的可能性。
娱乐圈不是个能够自由说话的地方，至少对那些有头有脸的名人来说不是。他们有着他们赖以生存的公众角色，人们对他们有相应的期望，这种期望在他们事业成型之初就已设定。冯小刚起步之初机智灵活，遇事和缓，这是他早期创作喜剧之时的姿态，但就像他的两部回忆录中所展现的那样，早年他低调做人，所创作品也无所影射意义，一方面是为了电影审片更好通过，另一方面怕受众接受不了。
（A）
When he came over, other people seemed to be afraid of him and ran away. He walked and walked, but nobody said to him. The girl didn’t run away, but said to him, “Hi. You look like one of my old friends. What’s your name, please?”
“Really? I am sadness.” Answered the boy.
“Oh. I know you. You visit me sometimes.”

“But why?”
“Because I’m Sadness. In fact, nobody likes me, I only want to give them some help. I can help them face themselves properly. 伤口) can help them remember what should be remembered. However, it seems that they don’t need me.”
While Sadness was saying these words, he became even sadder. The girl came up and gave him a hug(拥抱) and said, “Don’t worry. 5 I will be with you!”
“But who are you?” asked Sadness.

Everyone needs friends. But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says founding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed（种子）and take care of it to make it grow.
First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend could listen to your complaints（抱怨）and do his or her best to help you. To make a friend, you can’t be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives. But things can not always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have a good talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you can write a letter.
There are three steps to be friends again:
Tell him or her how you are feeling, say what your friend did wrong and talk about why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is one of the most important things in your life.

On a cold morning at a bus station, a man played six famous pieces of music for about an hour. During that time, about two thousand people went through the station, most of them were on their way to work.
3 minutes later: a middle-aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed down, stopped for a few seconds and went away.
4 minutes later: the musician received his first dollar. A woman threw the money in the box and kept on walking without stopping.
6 minutes later: a young man stopped to listen to him. Then he looked at his watch and started to walk
again.
10 minutes later: a 3-year-old boy stopped to look at the musician, but his mother took him away. Several other children did the same as the boy. And nearly all the parents took their children away.
45 minutes later: the musician kept on playing. Only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 persons gave him money but left quickly.
After 1 hour, the musician finished playing. In the end, he collected $ 32. No one noticed that he had finished playing.
No one knew this, but the musician was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. At that time, he played one of the most wonderful pieces ever written, with a very expensive violin.
