All of us communicate with one another non-verbally, as well as with words. We gesture with eyebrows or a hand, meet someone else's eyes and look away, shift positions in a chair. These actions we assume are random and incidental. But researchers have discovered in recent years that there is a system to them almost as consistent and comprehensive as language. Every culture has its own body language, and children absorb its difference along with spoken language. A Frenchman talks and moves in French. The way an Englishman crosses his legs is nothing like the way a male American does it. In talking, with a future-tense verb, Americans often gesture with a forward movement. There are regional idioms too. An expert can sometimes pick out a native of Wisconsin just by the way he uses his eyebrows during conversation. Your sex, moral background, social class and personal style all influence your body language. Usually, the wordless communication acts to qualify the words. What the non-verbal elements express very often, and very efficiently, is the emotional side of the message. When a person feels liked or disliked, often it's a case of "not what he said but the way he said it." Psychologist Albert Mehrabian has come up with this formula: total impact of a message = 7% verbal + 38% gestural + 55% facial. Experts in kinesics - the study of communication through body movement - are not prepared to spell out a vocabulary or gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or rejecting something. But there are other possible interpretations, too. Another example: When a student in conversation with a professor holds the older man's eyes a little longer than is usual, it can be a sign of respect and affection; it can be a challenge to the professor's authority; or it can be something else entirely. The experts look for patterns in the context, not for an isolated meaningful gesture. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements inNO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) |

When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. (80) To Americans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of excitement or disgust shock or sadness. People with a "poker face", whose emotions are hidden by a deadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate their attentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely and maintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. If a person doesn't look you in the eye, an American might say, you should question his motives or assume that he doesn't like you. Yet with all the concern for eye contact, Americans still consider staring—especially at strangers--to be rude.

Nonverbal(非语言的)communication has to do with gestures,movements and closenessof two people when they are talkin9.The scientists say that those gestures,movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry. For example,the body distance between two speakers can be important.North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speakin9,while the South American often considers the North American to be“cold”or“distant”because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to.The“eye contact”provides another example of wha.t we aye calling nonverbal communication.Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don’t like each other.The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about. On the other hand,too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable.The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication.Genuine warmth or interest,shyness or confi-dence can often be.seen in the eyes.We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendli-ness.Someone who is always smilin9,and with little apparent reasons,often makes US uneasy.
