2、words,but also using expressions and gestures.For example,waving ones 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
3、 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
4、 countries do not touch 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

25、lties in todays world of cultural crossroads!The main ideamy understanding of different cultural customs 交际：没有问题了吗？昨天，我和另一个同学代表我们大学的学生会去首都国际机场迎接今年的国际留学生。他们要来北京大学学习。我们会首先把他们带到宿舍，然后去学生食堂。在等了半个小时之后，我看见几个年轻人走进了等候区，好奇地向四周张望。站着观察了他们一分钟后，我便走过去打招呼。主旨大意引入文章的话题第一个到达的是来自哥伦比亚的托尼加西亚，随后紧跟着的是英国的朱莉娅史密斯。在与他们碰面并介绍他们彼
26、此认识之后，我(对看到的情景)感到很吃惊。托尼走近朱莉娅，摸了摸她的肩，并亲了她的脸！她后退了几步，看上去有些吃惊，并举起了手，好像是在自卫。我猜想这里可能有个大的误会。随后，来自日本的永田明微笑着走了进来，同时进来的还有加拿大的乔治库克。当我为他们做介绍时，乔治把手伸向了这位日本学生。然而此时永田明正在鞠躬，他的鼻子碰到了乔治伸过来的手。两个人都互相道了歉这又是一个文化差错！主旨大意问候而产生误会的场景另一位国际学生艾哈迈德阿齐兹是约旦人。昨天我向他自我介绍时，他靠我很近。我往后退了一点儿，他又上前问了我一个问题，然后同我握手。法国的达琳库隆匆忙走进门的时候，她认出了托尼加西亚微笑的面孔。两
27、个人握了握手，并且在对方的面颊上吻了两下。通常，法国成年人见到熟人就是这么做的。而艾哈迈德阿齐兹却只是朝女孩们点了点头。来自中东或一些穆斯林国家的男士，在谈话时通常站得离其他男士很近，但一般不会与女士接触。主旨大意问候而产生误会的场景随着认识的国际朋友越来越多，我也了解到更多不同文化背景下的“身势语”。各种文化背景下的人互致问候的方式不尽相同，身体接触和相互间距的程度也不尽相同。用口头语言交流的同时，人们还使用不出声的语言身体间的距离、动作和姿态等来表达情感。比如，英国人通常不会站在离别人太近的地方，也不会一见面就(用身体)接触陌生人。但是，来自像西班牙、意大利或南美等国家的人会站在离别人很近的地方，而且很可能(用身体)接触对方。现在世界上大多数人见面都会相互握手问候，但有些文化(背景下的人)会采取另外一些寒暄方式。比如，日本人就更愿意鞠躬。主旨大意产生误会的原因这些行为都无所谓好与坏，只不过是文化发展的不同方式而已。然而我发现身势语的文化习俗是多元的同一个(民族)文化中也并非所有成员的行为都一样。但总的来说，在当今文化交融的世界，学习不同国家的习俗肯定能帮助我们避免交往中的困难！主旨大意我对文化礼仪差异的理解温示提馨课时跟踪训练4-1（点击进入）word板块
