If you can speak English， you know a lot of English words. You can read， speak and understand. But there is another kind of language you need to know—the language of the body.

All over the world， people “talk” with their hands， with their heads， and with their eyes. When Japanese people meet， they bow. When Indians meet， they put their hands together. When British and American people meet someone for the first time， they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends， and men kiss their women friends （on the cheek only）. When a man meets a man friend， he just smiles， and says “Hello.” Men do not kiss each other， or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.

如果你會說英語，那么你知道很多英語單詞，你會讀、會說、能聽懂英語。但還有另外一種語言你需要了解，那就是身體語言。

全世界的人都用他們的手、頭和眼睛“說話”。當(dāng)日本人見面時，他們相互鞠躬。當(dāng)印度人見面時，他們雙手合十。當(dāng)英國人和美國人第一次和別人見面時，他們互相握手，但是他們通常不和熟悉的人握手。女人有時親吻她們的女性朋友，男人也會親吻他們的女性朋友（只親臉頰）。當(dāng)一個男人見到他的男性朋友時，他只微笑著說聲“你好”。男人之間不會互相親吻或牽手，即使是父子之間也不會經(jīng)常親吻對方。
