When we communicate with others, we do not only express ourselves through words, but also through our tones of voice, facial expressions and body language. In fact, many scholars believe that far more information is communicated non-verbally (非口头地). Body language is just an important part of non-verbal communication.

Learning another language is more than just learning its words and grammar; it also involves learning another culture. We learn much of our body language before we learn to speak from the time we are children. Body language varies from culture to culture, so it's important for us to pay attention.

Sometimes, cultural differences in appropriate (恰当的) body language can cause discomfort or misunderstanding too. For example, there are definite cultural differences in how much distance should be kept between two speakers. If you are used to keeping distance with people, you will feel very uncomfortable when people get closer to you while talking at a party. We call this the “personal comfort zone”．

Another common example of misunderstanding is the use of a smile. In some Asian cultures, a smile can show embarrassment (窘迫，难堪) or apology. However, smiling at a teacher who is unhappy with you is probably not a good idea in most English-speaking cultures!

So it's worth learning the cultural differences in body language. Understanding any cultural or regional attitudes can help you improve your communicative (交际的) skills.

Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading — Pre-reading

[原文呈现]

COMMUNICATION: NO PROBLEM?

Yesterday, another student and I, representing our university's student association， went to the Capital International Airport to meet this year's international students. They were coming to study at Beijing University. We would take them first to their dormitories and then to the student canteen. After half an hour of waiting for their flight to arrive, I saw several young people enter the waiting area looking around curiously. I stood for a minute watching them and then went to greet them.

The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia， closely followed by Julia Smith from Britain?. After I met them and then introduced them to each other, I was very surprised. Tony approached? Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek?！ She stepped back appearing surprised? and put up her hands, as if in defence?. I guessed that there was probably a major? misunderstanding?.Then Akira Nagata from Japan came in smiling, together with George Cook from Canada.As they were introduced, George reached his hand out to the Japanese student.Just at that moment, however, Akira bowed so his nose touched George's moving hand.They both apologized — another cultural mistake！

交际：没有问题了吗？ [第1～2段译文] 昨天，我和另外一名学生代表我们学校的学生会，到首都国际机场迎接今年的国际学生。他们是来北京大学学习的。我们首先会把他们带到宿舍，然后去学生食堂。等了半个小时之后，他们的航班到达了，我看见几个年轻人走进了等候区，他们好奇地向四周张望。站着观察了他们一会儿后，我便走过去向他们打招呼。第一个到达的人是来自哥伦比亚的托尼·加西亚，随后紧跟着的是来自英国的朱莉娅·史密斯。在与他们碰面并介绍他们彼此认识了之后，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，亲了亲她的脸颊！她后退了几步，看上去有些吃惊，并举起了双手，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，同时来的还有来自加拿大的乔治·库克。当我为他们作介绍时，乔治把手伸向了这位日本学生。然而，就在那时永田明鞠了一躬，所以他的鼻子碰到了乔治伸过来的手。两个人都互相道了歉——又一个文化差错！ Ahmed Aziz, another international student, was from Jordan?.
