My friend who likes travelling around often tells me how amazing he was when communicating with people from other countries. Last week he sent me an e-mail, telling me his embarrassment when greeting a pretty girl from Japan. Not knowing the greeting custom of Japanese people, he reached his hand to shake hands with the girl, but the girl bowed to him, which made his hand stop halfway up in the air. Seeing this, both of them couldn’t help smiling.

身体语言是与人交流的一种方法。然而，并非所有的人都可以用同一种身体语言进行交流，有着不同文化背景的人们对彼此的手势很有可能产生误会。比如，我们向某人点头时表示我们同意他的观点，但在有些国家点头表示的是反对；我们认为交流时正视别人表示我们在认真倾听，但在有些地区却意味着敌视 (hostility) 。即使在同一国家的不同地区也会有不同的身体语言。因此，如果你外出旅游，了解当地的身体语言是非常重要的。

身体语言是与人交流的一种方法。

Body language is a way of communication.

然而，并非所有的人都可以用同一种身体语言进行交流。

However, not everybody can use the same body language to communicate with others.

有着不同文化背景的人们对彼此的手势很有可能产生误会。People from different cultures may misunderstand the gestures they use.

比如，我们向某人点头时表示我们同意他的观点，但在有些国家点头表示的是反对；For example, when we nod at somebody we mean we agree to his opinion. But in some countries nodding one’s head means disagreement.

我们认为交流时正视别人表示我们在认真倾听，但在有些地区却意味着敌视 (hostility) 。We will look at somebody in the eye to show that we are listening to him attentively, while in some districts, it means hostility.

即使在同一国家的不同地区也会有不同的身体语言。People may have different body languages even if they live in the same country.

因此，如果你外出旅游，了解当地的身体语言是非常重要的。

So it is very important for you to have a good understanding of the body languages there.
