COMMUNICATION: NO PROBLEM?

Yesterday, another student and I, representing our university's student association, went to the Capital International Airport to meet this year's international students． They were coming to study at Beijing University． We would take them first to their dormitories and then to the student canteen． After half an hour of waiting for their flight to arrive, I saw several young people enter the waiting area looking around curiously． I stood for a minute watching them and then went to greet them．

The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely followed by Julia Smith from Britain． After I met them and then introduced them to each other, I was very surprised． Tony approached Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek! She stepped back appearing surprised and put up her hands, as if in defence． I guessed that there was probably a major misunder­standing． Then Akira Nagata from Japan came in smiling, together with George Cook from Canada． As they were introduced, George reached his hand out to the Japanese student． Just at that moment, however, Akira bowed so his nose touched George's moving hand． They both apologized — another cultural mistake!

Ahmed Aziz, another international student, was from Jordan． When we met yesterday, he moved very close to me as I introduced myself． I moved back a bit, but he came closer to ask a question and then shook my hand． When Darlene Coulon from France came dashing through the door, she recognized Tony Garcia's smiling face． They shook hands and then kissed each other twice on each cheek, since that is the French custom when adults meet people they know． Ahmed Aziz, on the contrary, simply nodded at the girls． Men from Middle Eastern and other Muslim countries will often stand quite close to other men to talk but will usually not touch women．

As I get to know more international friends, I learn more about this cultural "body language"． Not all cultures greet each other the same way, nor are they comfortable in the same way with touching or distance between people． In the same way that people communicate with spoken language, they also express their feelings using unspoken "language" through physical distance, actions or posture． English people, for example, do not usually stand very close to others or touch strangers as soon as they meet． However, people from places like Spain, Italy or South American countries approach others closely and are more likely to touch them． Most people around the world now greet each other by shaking hands, but some cultures use other greetings as well, such as the Japanese, who prefer to bow．

These actions are not good or bad, but are simply ways in which cultures have developed． I have seen, however, that cultural customs for body language are very general — not all members of a culture behave in the same way． In general, though, studying international customs can certainly help avoid difficulties in today's world of cultural crossroads！

 

 

交际：没有问题了吗？

昨天，我和另一个同学代表我们大学的学生会，到首都国际机场迎接今年的国际学生。他们是来北京大学留学的。我们将先带他们去宿舍，然后带他们去学生餐厅。等待了半个小时之后，他们的航班到达，我看到几个年轻人进入了等候区好奇地四处张望。我站在那儿观察了一会儿，然后走过去向他们打招呼。

第一个到达的是来自哥伦比亚的托尼·加西亚，紧随其后的是来自英国的朱莉娅·史密斯。我与他们碰面并把他们介绍给对方认识，我(对看到的情景)非常吃惊。托尼走近朱莉娅，摸了摸她的肩，并亲了她的脸！朱莉娅看上去很吃惊，往后退了退，并抬起双手，像是防卫。我猜想这其中可能有个大的误会。接下来来自日本的永田明和来自加拿大的乔治·库克笑着走过来了。当我介绍他们的时候，乔治对这个日本学生伸出了手。然而，就在这时，永田明向他鞠躬，因此他的鼻子触到了乔治伸过来的手。他们都向对方道歉——又一个文化上的差异！

另一位国际学生叫艾哈迈德·阿齐兹，来自约旦。我们昨天见了面，当我进行自我介绍时，他靠我很近。我往后退了一点，但他又靠前一点，问了一个问题，然后和我握手。当来自法国的达琳·库隆匆忙走进门时，她认出了托尼·加西亚的微笑的面孔。他们握手，然后在彼此脸颊上吻了两下，因为这是法国成年人在见到熟人时的礼俗。相反，艾哈迈德·阿齐兹只是朝女孩们点了点头。中东和其他穆斯林国家的男士通常和男士谈话时站得非常近，但是他们通常不和女士有身体接触。

随着我认识的国际朋友越来越多，我也了解到更多不同文化背景下的身势语。各种文化背景下人们互致问候的方式不尽相同，身体接触和相互间距离的程度也不一样。用口头语言进行交流的同时，他们也通过身体间距、动作和姿态等非语言来表达情感。例如，英国人通常不和别人站得太近，也不会和刚见面的陌生人有身体接触。不过，来自像西班牙、意大利或南美等国家的人会站在离别人很近的地方，而且可能会(用身体)接触对方。现在世界上多数人见面都会相互握手问候，但有些文化(背景的人)会采取另外一些寒暄方式，比方说，日本人更喜欢鞠躬。

这些行为没有好坏之分，只不过是文化发展的不同方式。然而，我发现身势语的文化礼俗很广泛，并不是一种文化中的所有人都行为一致。但总的来说，在当今文化交融的世界，学习不同国家的习俗肯定能够帮助我们避免交往中的困难！

[语法剖析]

现在分词(短语)在句中作状语用来修饰谓语动词或整个句子，表示动作发生的时间、原因、条件、结果、方式、让步或伴随状况。

1．作时间状语

现在分词作时间状语时，常放在句首，相当于一个时间状语从句。

Hearing the noise, I turned round．

＝When I heard the noise, I turned round．听到响声我转过身去。

2．作原因状语

现在分词作原因状语时，相当于一个原因状语从句，也可以放在句首。

Being poor, he couldn't afford a TV set．

＝Because he was poor, he couldn't afford a TV set．由于贫穷，他买不起一台电视机。

3．作条件状语

现在分词作条件状语时，相当于一个if引导的条件状语从句。

Working hard, you'll certainly succeed．

＝ If you work hard, you'll certainly succeed．只要努力学习，你肯定会成功的。

4．作结果状语

现在分词作结果状语时，通常放在句末，中间用逗号隔开，表示一种顺其自然、意料之中的结果。

The fire lasted a whole night, causing great damage．大火持续了一整夜，造成了巨大损失。

[点津]　现在分词作结果状语，是随着谓语动词的发生而产生的自然结果，其逻辑主语往往是前面整个句子所描述的情况，前面有时候可以加thus。而不定式作结果状语时常表示出乎意料的结果，有时前面可以加only。试比较：

He was caught in the rain, thus making himself catch cold．被雨淋后他感冒了。

I hurried to school, only to find it was Sunday．我匆忙赶到学校，结果发现是星期天。

5．作让步、方式和伴随状语

现在分词作让步、方式和伴随状语时，说明动作发生的背景和情况。作伴随状语时，表示分词的动作和主句的动作同时发生，此时它可转换成并列句。

Mary sat by the window of the classroom, reading a book．

＝Mary sat by the window of the classroom and was reading a book．玛丽坐在教室的窗边读一本书。

 

 

现在分词的时态

现在分词作状语时，要注意分词的时间性，是用现在分词的一般式(doing)，还是用完成式(having done)。

(1)当现在分词的动作与谓语动词的动作同时发生时，用分词的一般式。

Walking in the street, I met an old friend of mine．

我正在大街上行走时，遇到了一位老朋友。(walking和谓语动词met同时发生)

(2)当现在分词的动作先发生，而谓语动词的动作后发生时，用分词的完成式。

Having finished the letter, he went to post it．

他写完信后就把它寄了出去。(having finished是先发生的，went是后发生的)

现在分词的语态

使用现在分词的主动式还是被动式，这主要取决于现在分词和句子主语之间的关系。句子的主语就是分词的逻辑主语。

Having been shown around the factory, they were very happy．(现在分词的被动式)被领着参观了工厂后，他们很高兴。

Having finished his homework, he went to bed．(现在分词的主动式)完成了作业后，他上床睡觉。

动词­ing 形式的否定式：not ＋v．­ing; not having ＋ v．­ed

Not knowing this, he didn't come．他不知道这件事，所以没来。

Not having made full preparations, we put off the sports meeting．因为没有做好充分的准备，我们把运动会延期了。

独立主格

动词­ing形式作状语，有时它也可以有自己独立的主语，这种结构称为独立主格结构，通常用来表示伴随的动作或情况，也可以表示时间、原因或条件。

All the students having sat down, the lecture began．所有学生坐好之后，讲座开始了。

The new year coming, we were happy．新年来了，我们很高兴。

The regulation permitting, I will go with you．制度允许的话，我就和你去。

现在分词作评注性状语

有些现在分词在句中没有逻辑主语，它们往往作为句子的评注性状语来修饰整个句子，表明说话者的态度、观点等。例如：generally speaking "一般来说"，judging by/from ．．．"从……判断"，taking everything into consideration "从全盘考虑"。

Judging from his behaviour, he must be mad．从他的行为来判断，他一定是疯了。

Generally speaking, girls are more interested in literature than boys．一般来说，女孩比男孩对文学更感兴趣。

课文互译：

SHOWING OUR FEELINGS

Body language is one of the most powerful means of communication, often even more powerful than spoken language． People around the world show all kinds of feelings, wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud． It is possible to "read" others around us, even if they do not intend for us to catch their unspoken communication． Of course, body language can be misread, but many gestures and actions are universal．

The most universal facial expression is, of course, the smile — its function is to show happiness and put people at ease． It does not always mean that we are truly happy, however． Smiles around the world can be false, hiding other feelings like anger, fear or worry． There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone "loses face" and smiles to hide it． However, the general purpose of smiling is to show good feelings．

From the time we are babies, we show unhappiness or anger by frowning． In most places around the world, frowning and turning one's back to someone shows anger． Making a fist and shaking it almost always means that someone is angry and threatening another person．

There are many ways around the world to show agreement, but nodding the head up and down is used for agreement almost worldwide． Most people also understand that shaking the head from side to side means disagreement or refusal．

How about showing that I am bored? Looking away from people or yawning will, in most cases, make me appear to be uninterested． However, if I turn toward and look at someone or something, people from almost every culture will think that I am interested． If I roll my eyes and turn my head away, I most likely do not believe what I am hearing or do not like it．

Being respectful to people is subjective, based on each culture, but in general it is probably not a good idea to give a hug to a boss or teacher． In almost every culture, it is not usually good to stand too close to someone of a higher rank． Standing at a little distance with open hands will show that I am willing to listen．

With so many cultural differences between people, it is great to have some similarities in body language． We can often be wrong about each other, so it is an amazing thing that we understand each other as well as we do！

表达我们的情感

身势语是最强有力的交流手段之一，甚至通常它比口头语言更有力量。世界各地的人要表达各种情感、愿望和态度，他们可能从来不会大声地说出来。"读懂"我们身边的人是有可能的，尽管他们并不想让我们捕捉到他们没有说出来的意思。当然，身势语也会被误读，但是很多手势和举动都是具有普遍性的。

微笑当属最普遍使用的面部表情，它的作用是表示快乐和安人心境。然而它并不总是代表着真正的快乐。世界上的微笑可能是假象，来掩盖像生气、恐惧或担忧的情绪。还有不愉快的微笑，比如说当某人丢脸时，他们用微笑来掩饰。但是，微笑一般是用来表达好的情感的。

从婴儿时代开始，我们就用皱眉来表示不悦和生气。在世界大部分地区，皱眉和背对着某人表示生气。攥拳并晃动拳头几乎总是表示某人很生气并要威胁他人。

世界上有很多种表示同意的方式，但是上下点头表示同意几乎在全世界范围内适用。大部分人也明白左右摇头是不同意或拒绝的意思。

怎么表示我很厌烦呢？在多数情况下，把目光从人们身上移开或打呵欠，会使我看上去(对某物/人)不感兴趣。然而，如果我转向某人或某物并看着他(它)的话，几乎每种文化背景下的人都会认为我对此感兴趣。如果我转动眼睛，把头扭向一边，很可能就是我不相信或者不喜欢我所听到的。

在每种文化背景下，尊重他人是主观的，但是通常拥抱老板和老师可能会不妥当。几乎在每一种文化背景下，和级别比自己高的人站得太近通常是不好的。两手伸开，站得有一定距离表示我愿意聆听。

人们之间有那么多的文化差异，而身势语有一些相似之处是很好的。我们经常会彼此误会，因此我们能做到相互理解是一件很令人惊奇的事情！

重点讲解：

1．It is possible to "read" others around us, even if they do not intend for us to catch their unspoken communication．"读懂"我们周围人的心思是有可能的，即便他们并不想让我们捕捉到他们没有说出来的信息。

★本句是一个主从复合句，其中even if用来引导让步状语从句，意为"尽管；即使"，相当于even though。

①We have decided to visit the museum even if/though it rains tomorrow．即使下雨，我们也决定明天去参观博物馆。

②Even if/though he is poor, she loves him．尽管他很穷，但她还是爱他。

2．The most universal facial expression is, of course, the smile — its function is to show happiness and put people at ease．最普遍使用的面部表情当然是微笑——其作用是表示快乐和使人放松。

★function n．作用；(事物的)功能；职能；机能vi．运转；起作用

①The function of a cash­machine is to provide people with cash when the bank is shut．自动取款机的功能是在银行关门后让人们提取现金。

②In your new job, you will be expected to perform many different functions (function)．在新的工作岗位上，你可要履行许多不同的职责。

⑤We live in an age when more information is available with ease than ever before．我们生活在这样一个时代，更多的信息比以往更容易获取。

②She was angry with him for saying so．她因他这样说而生他的气。

③He was angry about/at the hurt．他因受到伤害而发怒。

4．There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone "loses face" and smiles to hide it．还有不愉快的微笑，比如当某人"丢了面子"就会用微笑来掩饰。

★lose face丢脸；丢面子

[写作技法指导]

关注问题类的书信属于应用文的范畴。关注信是作者就某一个问题或一些现象，表达自己对事件的关心，并提出自己的一些看法和解决办法的一类信件。一封好的关注信分为三个部分：开头、主体和结尾。应注意以下三点：

1．开头一般开门见山，直接表明自己的观点；

2．主体则是主题的展开和深化，要把论点按照逻辑顺序列出，连同证据、原因或例子；

3．结尾则是开头的呼应，总结论点，并重申观点。

3．So, as a reader, I suggest that you make some necessary changes as soon as possible so that the library can benefit more people．因此，作为一名读者，我建议您应该尽快做出一些必要的改变，以便图书馆能让更多的人受益。

Dear Jack，

Noticing that you seemed very upset this morning, I didn't feel at ease either． It looked as if you had been crying． When I asked you what was wrong, you put your head down． I'm sorry if I embarrassed you． I just want to help!

Is there any misunderstanding between you and your classmates? Or did your failure in the test of spoken English make you lose face? If not, would you like to tell me the reason?

I really would like to help you if I can． The best approach to getting rid of bad mood is to learn how to share it with your friends．

Yours，

Xiao Ling

Task I.

Another student and I from our university’s student association went to the airport to meet some international students who were coming to study at Beijing University. Not all people from different cultures greet each other in the same way. Here’s what happened. Tony Garcia from Colombia tried to kiss Julia Smith from Britain on the cheek but she moved away. George Cook from Canada tried to shake hands with Akira Nagata from Japan, who bowed instead. Ahmed Aziz from Jordan came too close to me, so I stepped back. Darlene Coulon from France and Tony Garcia shook hands and kissed each other on the cheek. Having international friends has helped me to learn more about the “body languages” of different cultures. Studying them can help us avoid difficulties in today’s global society. (By Ray Cama)
