Part Three
精讀譯
說起“交流”，大多數人會想到單詞或句子，雖然單詞或句子十分重要，但我們也并不只是用口語和書面語進行交流，身體的姿態(tài)是我們所稱的“身勢語”的一部分。我們經�？吹綗o意識的身勢語，但也有“習得”的身勢語。習得的身勢語在不同的化中各不相同。
當我們被介紹給生人時，我們使用“習得的”身勢語。跟動物一樣，我們會保持警覺，直至知道安全的時候才放松。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——右手對多數人說更有力一些。假如右手用于忙著與人打招呼就不可能握武器。因此，這種手勢的意思是“我信任你，瞧，我沒帶威脅性的武器”，假如你和人握手，就是在表明你信任他們。我們在做交易時與人握手，意思就是“我們達成了協(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，中國人的傳統(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。
即使是現在，人們在非正式場合打招呼時，還會用手表示信任對方。美國青年常常說著“擊掌”打招呼。說完后這個人舉起手，手掌向外，五指張開。另一個人同樣舉起手，拍打對方舉過頭頂的手。這是現代常見的打招呼方式。
身勢語對于任何研究者說都具有吸引力。人們通過姿勢表達的意思要比通過話語表達的更多�？纯茨愕呐笥押图胰�，你能洞悉他們的心思嗎？
