1. Eye Language

Just back from a tour of several Arabian Gulf1 countries, a woman recalls how jumpy she felt talking to men there. “Not because of what they said, ”she explains,“ but what they did with their eyes. ”Instead of the occasional blink, Arabs lowered their lids so slowly and languorously that she was convinced they were falling asleep. In Japan eye contact is a key to the way you feel about someone. And the less of it,the better. What a Westerner considers an honest look in the eye , the Oriental takes as a lack of respect and a personal affront. Even when shaking hands or bowing — and especially when conversing6 — only an occasional glance into the other person’s face is considered polite. The rest of the time , great attention should be paid to fingertips, desktops,and the warp and woof of the carpet.“Always keep your shoes shined in Tokyo, ”advises an electronics representative who has spent several days there .“You can bet a lot of Japanese you meet will have their eyeson them. ”

眼睛的語言

從波斯灣的幾個(gè)國家旅行回來后, 一位女士回想起她同當(dāng)?shù)啬凶诱勗挄r(shí)忐忑不安的情景�！� 不是他們說話的內(nèi)容, ”她解釋說,“ 而是他們說話時(shí)的眼神讓我緊張不安�！卑⒗�伯人不是偶爾眨一下眼睛, 而是緩慢而倦怠地垂下眼瞼, 這使她誤以為這些阿拉伯人就要睡著了。

在日本, 眼神的接觸是你了解別人的關(guān)鍵所在。眼神接觸越少越好。西方人認(rèn)為看著別人的眼睛是一種誠實(shí)的表現(xiàn), 而東方人則將盯視對方看作是不尊敬別人, 是對他人的一種冒犯。實(shí)際上, 在握手或鞠躬的時(shí)候, 尤其是在兩人交談的時(shí)候, 偶爾朝對方的臉上掃一眼才是禮貌的舉動。其他時(shí)候, 談話人則應(yīng)把注意力集中在指尖、桌面以及地毯表面的紋理上�！� 在東京, 記住一定要讓你的皮鞋保持光亮可鑒, ”一位已經(jīng)在那里呆了幾天的電子產(chǎn)品代理人提出忠告,“ 我敢說許多你遇到的日本人都會對你的鞋盯上幾眼的�！�

1. 阿拉伯灣, 也稱為Persian Gulf ( 波斯灣) , 是印度洋的一個(gè)邊緣海, 位于伊朗高原與阿拉伯半島之間。

2. languorously adv. 倦怠地, 無精打采地。該詞的名詞形式是languor ( 倦怠, 慵困) , 動詞形式是languish, 如: His vigilance never languished. ( 他的警覺從未松懈過。)

3. 眼神接觸越少越好。這種結(jié)構(gòu)相當(dāng)于漢語中的“ 越??越??”, 表示兩個(gè)過程按比例同時(shí)遞增。better 后面省略了it is, 因?yàn)檫@種結(jié)構(gòu)往往有省略。例如: The sooner, the better.( 越早越好。)

4. 東方人, 尤指中國人和日本人。與該詞相對應(yīng)的是the Occidental ( 西方人, 歐美(轉(zhuǎn)載于:www.zuancaijixie.com 蒲 公 英 文 摘:英文四級短文)人) 。

5. take . . . as 視??為, 把??理解為, 如: She took what he said as a compliment. ( 她把他的002 話看作是恭維話。)

6. conversing 是converse 的動名詞形式, 意為“ 談話, 交談”。其名詞形式是conversation。例如: Although they were strangers, they conversed with ease. ( 他們雖然互不相識, 卻談得很自在融洽。)

7. warp n. ( 織物的) 經(jīng)線; woof n. ( 織物的) 緯線; the warp and the woof of the carpet 指“ 地毯表面的紋理”。the warp and woof of sth. 還可以引申為“ 某事物的基礎(chǔ)或結(jié)構(gòu)”。

8. have one’s eyes on 密切注意, 注視, 如: Businessmen always have their eyes on the new trade opportunities. ( 商人們總在關(guān)注著新的貿(mào)易機(jī)會。

02.Sleeping Position Reveals Personality Traits Whether it’s curled up in the fetal position , flat on the stomach or stretched out across the bed, the way people sleep reveals their personality, a British sleep expert said. The expert has identified six common sleeping positions and what they mean. “We are all aware of our body language when we are awake but this is the first time we have been able to see what our subconscious says about us, ”he said. Crouched in the fetal position is the most popular sleep pattern and favored by 51 percent of women, according to the results of the study he conducted for a large hotel group. Fetal sleepers tend to be shy and sensitive while people who assume the soldier position, flat on their back with arms at their sides, are quiet and reserved. Sleeping on one’s side with legs outstretched and arms down in what he refers to as the log, indicates a social,

easygoing personality. But if the arms are outstretched in the yearning position, the person tends to be more suspicious. The free fall, flat on the tummy with the hands at the sides of the head, is the most unusual position. Only 6. 5 percent of people prefer it and they are usually brash and gregarious. Unassuming, good listeners usually adopt the starfish position — on the back with outstretched arms and legs.The expert, who identified the positions by comparing personality traits of people.

睡姿揭示人的性格

一 位英國睡眠專家曾說過: 無論你是像胎兒一樣蜷縮著睡覺, 或是趴在床上睡, 還是四肢伸開平躺著睡, 睡覺的姿勢揭示了你的性格。該專家歸納了六種常見睡覺姿勢, 以及這些姿勢的含義�！� 醒著的時(shí)候, 我們都知道自己的肢體語言, 但這是我們第一次知道自己的潛意識在說些什么, ”他說。他對一家大型酒店集團(tuán)所做的研究結(jié)果表明: 像胎兒一樣蜷縮著睡覺是最流行的睡覺姿勢, 有51% 的婦女喜歡這種姿勢。采用胎兒式睡姿的人往往比較害羞, 也很敏感; 而采用仰臥、雙臂放在身體兩側(cè)的士兵式睡姿的人則比較安靜, 也不愿說話。側(cè)臥、兩腿伸直、雙臂自然下垂的睡姿稱為原木式睡姿。采用這種睡姿的人喜歡社交活動, 容易相處。但是如果雙臂伸出, 呈渴望狀, 這種人往往比較多疑。自由式, 即俯臥, 雙手放在頭的兩側(cè), 這是最特別的睡姿。只有6 . 5% 的人喜歡這樣睡, 他們通常性情急躁, 愛社交。謙虛忠實(shí)的聽眾通常選擇仰臥且四肢伸展的海星式睡姿。該專家通過比較人物性格特征、他們喜歡的睡姿和最常見的睡姿歸納出以上這些睡姿。他說人們一旦采用了某種睡姿就很難再改變。

閱讀講解：

1. 意識理論。他把人類的心理結(jié)構(gòu)分為三層, 即意識( conscious) 、前意識

( preconscious)

和無意識( 即潛意識) 。他認(rèn)為意識處于大腦表層, 是一個(gè)人所直接感知到的內(nèi)容; 前意 識主要是在意識與無意識之間起警戒作用, 阻止無意識的本能欲望進(jìn)入意識之中; 無意 識處于大腦底層, 毫無理性, 是決定人的行為和愿望的內(nèi)在動力。

2. 這里的once 不是“ 一次”或“ 曾經(jīng)”的意思, 不是副詞, 而是連詞, 意為“ 一旦, 一??

就??”, 如: Once printed, this dictionary will be very popular! ( 一旦出版, 這本詞典將會

非常暢銷! )

3. The“V”Sign

The palm-forward“V”sign, formed by raising and spreading the first two fingers1 ,has three different meanings in American culture.The most popular meaning of the“V”sign was invented in 1941 by a Belgian, Victor De Lavalaye. Wanting a symbol for resistance to the Nazi2 occupation, he came up with the single letter“V”, which stood not only for his own first name3, but also for English victory, Flemish virijheid, and French

victoire. The symbolism of the sign spread very quickly, and Winston Churchill4 used it constantly in public appearance. Thus throughout the 1940 s and 1950 s, the gesture meant simply“victory”.The second meaning came in the 1960 s. Because of its military implication, Americanantiwar protestors used the sign sarcastically against the arms, so that it became known as the“ peace sign”. In the 1970s, the“V”sign , which had lost its military implication, was a common greeting among freedom lovers, acid heads5, political radicals, and ultimately, young people in general. So by about the middle of the 1970s, it ceased to give clue to the user’s philosophy. The third meaning is the oldest and least common. American children jokingly put “V”, which resembles“ horns”, behind friends’heads in group snapshots. The are unknowingly reproducing something that southern Europeans would find highly offensive. This mischief, called“horns of the Devil”, is a variant of the European“ horns”gesture, which is obscene. Here the“V”sign means“Your wife has been cheating on you ”or, when placed behind

another’s head,“His wife has been cheating on him”. In the United States, the gesture is typically given with the palm facing the viewer. The British use both this version and an older, palm-backward version; the latter is obscene in American culture, and

corresponds to the American“ finger”6 . Churchill got some surprised stares in 1941 when, evidently unaware of the vulgar usage, he gave the palm-backward“V”to British troops. In England today you could have to be a social hermit not to understand the distinction. Astonishingly, however, Margaret Thatcher7 repeated Churchill’s error after her victory in the 1979 election.

參考譯文

手勢 “V”

掌 心向外, 豎起食指和中指, 并向兩邊展開, 這樣就構(gòu)成了一個(gè)V 形手勢。V 形手勢在美國文化中有三個(gè)不同的含義。V 形手勢最為普及的一個(gè)意思是在1941 年由比利時(shí)人維克托· 德· 拉維雷創(chuàng)造發(fā)明的。他伸出雙指, 作出字母V 的手勢來表示他對納粹占領(lǐng)比利時(shí)的反抗。這個(gè)V 不僅代表他的名字, 而且還象征英語victory ( 勝利) 、佛蘭芒語virijheid ( 勝利) 和法語victoire ( 勝利) 這三個(gè)單詞。這一手勢的象征意義迅速地傳播開來, 溫斯頓· 邱吉爾在公眾場合就曾多次使用。因此, 在20 世紀(jì)40 年代和50 年代, 這個(gè)手勢只是表示“ 勝利”的意思。V 形手勢的第二個(gè)意思出現(xiàn)在20 世紀(jì)60 年代。由于這個(gè)手勢含有軍事方面的意思,美國反戰(zhàn)者就諷刺性地用這個(gè)手勢來反對戰(zhàn)爭, 于是, 這個(gè)手勢開始被稱為“ 和平的標(biāo)志”。20 世紀(jì)70 年代, V 形手勢失去了軍事方面的含義, 成為熱愛自由的人、嗜用迷幻藥的人、政治激進(jìn)主義者們見面問候時(shí)常用的手勢, 并最終在廣大年輕人流傳開來。也就是說, 大約到20 世紀(jì)70 年代中期, 這個(gè)手勢就不再表示使用者的人生觀了。V 形手勢的第三個(gè)意思最為古老, 也少為人用。在集體照相的時(shí)候, 美國孩子常開玩。笑 地在朋友的腦袋后面擺出手勢V, 樣子就像動物的角一樣。他們無意中做出了一個(gè)被南歐人視為相當(dāng)無禮的動作。這種被稱作“ 魔鬼之角”的惡作劇是歐洲“ 角形”手勢的變體,這種手勢被認(rèn)為具有淫穢的意味。在南歐, 手勢V 表示“ 你的老婆對你不忠”。在別人腦袋后面做出這種手勢, 如同在說“ 他的老婆對他不忠”。

在美國, 人們通常將掌心向外, 面向?qū)Ψ阶龀鲞@個(gè)手勢; 而英國人有時(shí)將掌心對著別人, 有時(shí)則像前人那樣, 掌心向內(nèi)。掌心向內(nèi)的V 形手勢在美國文化里被看成是下流動作, 與美國人豎起中指一樣具有淫穢的含義。1941 年, 邱吉爾掌心朝內(nèi), 向英國軍隊(duì)擺出了V 形手勢。一些士兵吃驚地盯著他看, 顯然他對這個(gè)手勢的下流含義還全然不知。如今, 在英國, 如果你還不知道掌心向內(nèi)和向外的差別的話, 你一定是個(gè)不問世事的隱士。然而, 令人驚訝的是, 瑪格麗特· 撒切爾在贏得1979 年的選舉之后, 又重蹈邱吉爾的覆轍, 做了一個(gè)掌心向內(nèi)的V 形手勢。

閱讀導(dǎo)釋

1. 這里指中指( middle finger) 和食指( forefinger 或index finger) 。其他三個(gè)指頭分別是小指 ( little finger, 也稱pinkie) 、無名指( ring finger) 和拇指( thumb) 。

2. Nazi adj. 納粹的。納粹是德國國家社會主義工人黨的簡稱, 成立于1919 年。該黨在希特勒的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下, 對德國進(jìn)行了十余年的法西斯統(tǒng)治, 對鄰國發(fā)動了大規(guī)模的軍事侵略, 并對猶太人實(shí)施種族滅絕政策。

3. 名, 又稱given name, 本文里指Victor。歐美人的姓是family name 或last name。有些歐美人的姓與名之間還有名, 被稱為middle name, 有的人還使用別名或化名( alias) 。

4. 溫斯頓·邱吉爾( 1874—1965) , 英國保守黨政治家、作家, 曾兩度擔(dān)任英國首相。第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間他領(lǐng)導(dǎo)英國人民對德作戰(zhàn), 為爭取世界反法西斯戰(zhàn)爭的勝利做出了不可磨滅的貢獻(xiàn)。他著有《二戰(zhàn)回憶錄》( Memoirs of the Second World War) 、《英語民族史》( A History of the English Speaking Peoples) 等書, 于1953 年獲諾貝爾文學(xué)獎。邱吉爾晚年醉心于繪畫, 并于1948 年當(dāng)選為英國皇家藝術(shù)院特別會員。

5. 嗜用迷幻藥者。在美國俚語中, acid 指“ 迷幻藥”, head 則有“ 麻醉藥品吸食者”的意思。

6. 與美國人豎起中指一樣具有淫穢的含義。該句中的finger 指的是中指, 美國俚語里有g(shù)ive sb. the finger 這個(gè)短語, 意為“向某人伸出中指”, 有“ 侮辱別人或淫穢”的意思, 而掌心向內(nèi)的V 形手勢在美國文化里有著跟“伸出中指”相似的含義。

7. 瑪格麗特·撒切爾, 1925 年生于一個(gè)小商人家庭, 1979 年首次當(dāng)選為英國首相, 直到1990 年卸任。因其政治手段強(qiáng)硬, 故被世人譽(yù)為“ 鐵娘子”。她在任時(shí)對英國的政治和經(jīng)濟(jì)影響巨大, 使英國的20 世紀(jì)80 年代被稱為“ 撒切爾時(shí)代”。
