Taro： I'm interested in gestures (手势).

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.
