摘要
人类的交际有两种方式:语言交际和非语言交际。它们都在交流中扮演了重要的角色。体态语是非语言交际行为不可缺少的组成部分。体态语在跨文化交际中的作用不容忽视。然而,身体语言在不同的文化中是不同的。在一种文化中适当的行为在另一种文化中可能是不礼貌的,因此对体态语的无知可能导致误解,甚至交流失败。体态语的知识和运用可能对一个人的交际能力有一定的影响。虽然体态语是通过肢体来表达说话者的心理,但比起一些较难的词语它更能清楚地传递说话者所表达的意思,听者可以通过说话者的一些体态语猜出他所表达的意思。
There are two ways of human communication:verbal communication and non-verbal communication.They all play an important role in communication.Body language is an integral part of nonverbal communication.The role of body language in cross-cultural communication should not be ignored.However,body language varies from culture to culture.Proper behavior in one culture may be impolite in another,so ignorance of body language may lead to misunderstanding and even communication failure.The knowledge and application of body language may have a certain impact on one’s communicative competence.Although body language expresses the speaker’s mind through body,it can convey the meaning of the speaker more clearly than some difficult words.The listener can guess the meaning of the speaker through some body language.
