Question

When we do not understand each other’s language, we can talk with the help of signs.

A Frenchman was once travelling in England. He could not speak English at all. One day he went into a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, he opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. He wanted to say, “Bring me something to eat.”

The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. He moved his head from side to side. The waiter understood him and took the tea away. In a moment he came with a cup of coffee, but the man again refused it. He shook his head whenever the waiter brought him something to drink, for drinks are not food.

When the man was going away, another man came in. This man saw the waiter, and he put his hand on his stomach. That was enough. In a few minutes there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the table in front of him.

So, you see sometimes we can understand the language of signs as well as the language of words.

【解析】

试题分析：当我们不懂彼此的语言的时候,我们可以借助肢体语言的帮助。一个法国人曾经在英国旅行。他不会说英语。有一天,他走进一家餐馆,坐在一张桌子。当服务员来了,他张开嘴,把他的手指放进去又拿了出来。他想说:“给我拿点吃的。”这位服务员马上就给他端来一杯茶。他摇了摇头,服务员把茶拿走了。不一会儿他带了一杯咖啡,但那人再次拒绝了。那人离开以后,另一个男人走了进来。这个人看见侍者,他把手放在他的胃。这就足够了。几分钟以后大盘子肉和蔬菜就放在他面前的桌子上。
