  The part of culture that is like the underwater part of the iceberg consists of assumptions（设想），communication styles，values，and beliefs about what is right and wrong．The hidden part of culture affects much of a person's way of thinkin g and communicating．It is the meaning behind his or her verbal （言语的） and nonverbal language．Learning to communicate well with people from another culture involves becoming aware of the hidden part of cultur e．
