24、Do you know that 93 percent of our communication is through our body? We call it body language. This can include the body-gesture language, head-neck language, sign language, face language and looks language. In different cultural backgrounds, the same movement might have quite different meanings, which, may usually lead to misunderstanding in communication. Misuse of body language can be an unpleasant or even dangerous experience.

In 1992, the President George H. W. Bush made a state visit to Australia. People lined up along the roadside to welcome the American President who greeted them with raised fingers in the form of “V” with the back of his hand toward the onlookers. The following morning a headline in a local newspaper announced that the American President insulted (侮辱) the Australians. In Australia, the “V” sign with the back of the hand equals to the middle finger. But in America it means victory.

Have you understand the importance of body language? Pay attention to the following and you will realize that they are very helpful when you are in Australia.

Men in Australia shake hands instead of kissing when they meet. In China, thumbing up means “You are good”. However, it’s rude in Australia. If an Australian laugh at others, he makes his thumb down. If you want to order a glass of beer in the bar, just hold up your forefinger. And in social situation, you shouldn’t yawn or stretch yourself.

Keep these in mind and have a nice trip in Australia.

25、That woman carried a new blanket (毛毯) over her arm and then she gave it to me.

“Is it finished?” I asked.

She shook her head. “No. It is ready.” She replied. I gave her the money and took the blanket.

“How beautiful! It must be from a skillful hand!” I said to my mother. “But what did she mean when she said it was not finished? How can it be ready if it is not finished?”

“I will tell you later,” my mother said, “but first I will take you to the Navajo village.”

We went down to the village. A group of young men were making sand pictures. We walked through the whole village, watching the different things the people were doing. In the evening, my mother finally explained the Navajo woman’s words. “Mary, did you notice anything about the things in the Navajo village?” my mother asked.

“What should I have noticed?” I looked at her and asked.

“One small part of everything is not complete (完整的). The designs (设计) in their sand pictures are often not perfectly done, for example—the line of a square may not quite close. If you look carefully at your blanket, you will probably find a stitch (一针) missing.”

I did as my mother said, but the blanket looked as perfect as any design could be. Then suddenly, I noticed that a stitch was really missing!

“But why do the Navajo intentionally leave a small part unfinished?” I asked.

“They believe that when anything is finished, it means the end has come—it will not be perfect until then. They believe that they must leave “the door” open for the bad spirits to run away and the good spirits to come in. So, often, they do not make the line close.”
