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 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.
即使你会说英语，你知道很多英文单词，你会读，会说，能听懂，但还有另外一种语言你需要了解——那就是身体语言。
在全世界，人们都用他们的手、头和眼睛“说话”。当日本人见面时，他们相互鞠躬。印度人见面时他们双手合十。
当英国人和美国人第一次和别人见面时，他们互相握手。通常，他们不和熟悉的人握手。女人有时亲吻她们的女性朋友，男人也会亲吻女性朋友（只亲脸颊）。当男人见到男性朋友时，他只微笑着说声“你好”。男人之间不会互相亲吻或牵手。即使是父子之间也不会经常亲吻对方。
