精讀譯
說(shuō)起“交流”,大多數(shù)人會(huì)想到單詞或句子,雖然單詞或句子十分重要,但我們也并不只是用口語(yǔ)和書(shū)面語(yǔ)進(jìn)行交流,身體的姿態(tài)是我們所稱(chēng)的“身勢(shì)語(yǔ)”的一部分。我們經(jīng)?吹綗o(wú)意識(shí)的身勢(shì)語(yǔ),但也有“習(xí)得”的身勢(shì)語(yǔ)。習(xí)得的身勢(shì)語(yǔ)在不同的化中各不相同。
當(dāng)我們被介紹給生人時(shí),我們使用“習(xí)得的”身勢(shì)語(yǔ)。跟動(dòng)物一樣,我們會(huì)保持警覺(jué),直至知道安全的時(shí)候才放松。因此,在所有的化中人們都有一種向陌生人打招呼的正規(guī)的方式,以表示他們并不具有侵犯傾向。歐美人的傳統(tǒng)是握手,他們用右手握手——右手對(duì)多數(shù)人說(shuō)更有力一些。假如右手用于忙著與人打招呼就不可能握武器。因此,這種手勢(shì)的意思是“我信任你,瞧,我沒(méi)帶威脅性的武器”,假如你和人握手,就是在表明你信任他們。我們?cè)谧鼋灰讜r(shí)與人握手,意思就是“我們達(dá)成了協(xié)議,相互信任”。
亞洲人打招呼是不接觸他人身體的,但他們要用手。與人打招呼時(shí),中國(guó)人的傳統(tǒng)方式是右手放在左手上,拱手,稍稍躬身而行禮。穆斯林行額手鞠躬禮,用手觸左胸、嘴和額。印度人雙手交合,恭敬地鞠躬。在上述例子中,手都在忙于打招呼,不可能拿武器。
即使是現(xiàn)在,人們?cè)诜钦綀?chǎng)合打招呼時(shí),還會(huì)用手表示信任對(duì)方。美國(guó)青年常常說(shuō)著“擊掌”打招呼。說(shuō)完后這個(gè)人舉起手,手掌向外,五指張開(kāi)。另一個(gè)人同樣舉起手,拍打?qū)Ψ脚e過(guò)頭頂?shù)氖。這是現(xiàn)代常見(jiàn)的打招呼方式。
身勢(shì)語(yǔ)對(duì)于任何研究者說(shuō)都具有吸引力。人們通過(guò)姿勢(shì)表達(dá)的意思要比通過(guò)話(huà)語(yǔ)表達(dá)的更多?纯茨愕呐笥押图胰耍隳芏聪に麄兊男乃紗?
