六級英語美文精選：語言

　　important part. According to one study, words convey only 7 percent of a person's message. intonation and voice quality communicate 38 percent, and nonverbal cues transmit a whopping 55 percent. That means people pick up more from nonverbal communication than from the words a person says, When studying about a foreign culture then, it just makes sense to pay attention to how people use nonverbal cues.

　　事實上，他們已經(jīng)溝通過了，即便一句話也沒說。非語言要素在任何形式的雙向溝通中都占了很重要的一部分。有些人會認為那是最重要的一部分。一項研究表明，言語只傳達了7%的訊息，語調(diào)及音色傳達了38%，而非語言的暗示傳遞了極大的55%o這就表明人們從非語言溝通中領(lǐng)悟到的比從說出來的話語中的還多。所以，在研究外國文化時，注意人們?nèi)绾问褂梅钦Z言暗示是很有道理的。

　　Gestures prise a major form of nonverbal communication. In contast to sign language, used by deaf people to communicate elaborate messages, gestures function as visual icons which represent a single idea. But often these gestures are embarrassingly culture-bound. For example,when the Maoris of New Zealand stick out their tongue at someone ,it is a sign of respect. When American schoolchildren make the same gesture, it means just the opposite. Also, Americans often indicateOK" with their thumb and forefinger touching to form a circle. The same gesture means money" to the Japanese, "zero" to the French and a "vulgarity" to Brazilians. For that reason, people in a foreign culture must use gestures with caution.

　　體態(tài)是非語言溝通中很重要的一環(huán)。(2)與聾人用來溝通復雜訊息所使用的手語不同的是，體態(tài)的功能就像是視覺上的圖像，它代表的是單一的意念。但往往這些體態(tài)極受文化的限制，甚至會造成尷尬的誤解。例如，紐西蘭的毛利人對某人伸舌頭是尊敬的表現(xiàn);而當美國學童作同樣的動作時，它表達的意思卻正好相反。還有，美國人通常用大拇指及食指環(huán)繞起一個圓圈表示“沒問題“。同樣的手勢對日本人是“錢”的意思，對法國人是“零“的意思，對巴西人是極低俗的手勢。因此，處在外國文化中的人必須小心地使用體態(tài)。
