The Language of Gestures

Taro I'm interested in gestures (手势).

Helen Are you? Gestures differ (不同) from country to country.

Taro Yes, learning about gestures is a lot of fun (很开心).

Helen I've noticed that Japanese women often cover their mouths when they laugh.

Taro They think it is impolite to show their teeth.

Helen I once talked to some students from India. They moved their heads up and down when they meant no, and from side to side for yes. That looked strange to me.

Taro Is that right? I thought nodding meant yes in all parts of the world.

Helen No, not in some parts of India. But those students said their gestures were so natural (自然的) to them that they couldn't change them.

Taro This is one of the most popular comics (最流行的滑稽剧) in my country. Do people in American comics jump this way when they are surprised?

Helen Yes, they do. comics always use big gestures, you know. (Helen shows Taro a picture of a man.)

Taro I've often seen this picture. He is shrugging (耸肩) his shoulders, isn't he?

Helen Yes, he is. It means I don't care or I give up.

Helen How do you gesture with your hand when you mean come here in Japan?

Taro We hold out our hand with the palm upward, and move it up and down.

Helen That looks like Sit down”,“Be quiet, orGet away to us. When we mean Come here we hold out our hand with the palm upward, and move our fingers toward our body.

     Once there was a little boy who had a bad temper (脾气). His father gave him a bag of nails and told 
 him that every time he lost his temper, he must knock a nail into the back of the fence.    
     The first day, the boy knocked 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to 
 control his anger, the number of the nails knocked gradually reduced every day. He discovered it was
 easier to hold his temper than to knock those nails into the fence.     
     Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the 
 father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day when he was able to hold his temper. 
The days passed and the boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.       
     The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, 
 but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they
 leave a scar (伤痕) just like this one. You can put a knife into a man and draw it out. No matter how 
 many times you say I'm sorry, the wound (伤口 ) is still there. A verbal (口头的 ) wound is as bad as a
 physical one. "
(     ) 1. The boy's father gave the boy some nails to throw them away.
(     ) 2. Over the next few weeks, the number of  the nails knocked gradually increased every day.
(     ) 3. After knocking all the nails into the  fence, the boy lost his temper.
(     ) 4. The father suggested that the boy should pull out all the nails again.
(     ) 5. No matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there.
