The idea of what shaking the head means is not always the same in different countries. Many visitors would be surprised when they first came to India. When they talked to an Indian, he would often shake his head. The visitors might think that the Indian did not like what they said. But, in fact, they would be completely wrong. Indians always shake their heads when they talk to others. It does not have the same meaning as our
“No”. If someone wants to visit India, he should know that, or it will give him some trouble.One day, a foreign officer went to India on business. He hired
(租用)a car and an Indian to drive it. When he told his driver to send him to the office, the Indian shook his head at once. The officer said again, and the driver shook his head again. At last, the officer, of course, got angry.“How dare you refuse my order?”he shouted.“Drive me to my office at once!”The driver answered in quite a loud voice, too.“Yes, Sir!”But to the officer's surprise, the driver shook his head at the same time.
