Even a child knows that nodding(点头)the head means“Yes”. But some people will probably be puzzled(迷惑的)when they first come to India. When they talk to an Indian, he often shakes(摇)his head. They might think that the Indian does not like what he said, but on the contrary, he is telling yes.

The Indians have a habit of shaking their heads slightly when they talk to somebody. It doesn't mean“ No”, but“Yes”.

If a person doesn't know this, it might cause misunderstanding(误解).

At one time a foreigner in India told his driver who was an Indian to take him to his office. The driver shook his head. The foreigner said his request again and the driver still shook his head. At last, the foreigner shouted angrily, “Drive me to my office at once!” The driver said in a low voice,“Yes, sir,”smiling and shaking his head again at the same time.
