小禮儀:
在中國(guó),如果兩個(gè)陌生人相遇,比如兩個(gè)人同坐一張桌子吃飯,一般兩個(gè)人都會(huì)相互看一眼,而后或進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)單交流,或各自埋頭吃飯。
The usual response is to behave in a friendly and natural manner, glancing at the other person, perhaps saying 'hello' and exchanging small talk or remaining silent.
最好不要故意裝作看不到對(duì)方,因?yàn)檫@樣你會(huì)給人局促不安的感覺(jué),對(duì)方甚至?xí)岩赡阈闹杏泄怼?/p>
If you try hard to avoid the other's glance or you look out of the window as if nobody sat nearby, you would appear so uneasy and so unnatural that you might lay yourself open to suspicion!
在聆聽(tīng)他人講話(huà)的時(shí)候,你不必總是盯著講話(huà)的人,但是如果說(shuō)話(huà)的人在看你,你應(yīng)該以自然的眼神回應(yīng)對(duì)方。
To gaze intently may show your attentiveness, but is not that necessary. The best way is to look at him or her as naturally as he or she looks at you.
當(dāng)眾發(fā)言的時(shí)候,許多中國(guó)人羞于和聽(tīng)眾進(jìn)行眼神的交流,而是一直盯著講話(huà)稿。
Some of them, perhaps because of nervousness, like to bury their nose in their manuscript to read their speech all the time.
如果你發(fā)言的時(shí)候沒(méi)有勇氣看聽(tīng)眾,那么你也無(wú)權(quán)要求你的聽(tīng)眾會(huì)和你形成良好的互動(dòng)。
Speaking in public is also a kind of two-way communication, which needs eye contact from both sides. The speaker will certainly feel embarrassed when he sees that his audience do not look at him. But if he doesn't look at his audience now and then, his audience also has the right not to listen to what he is saying.
在英國(guó),眼神的運(yùn)用會(huì)有不同的地方嗎?
在英國(guó),如果你路遇陌生人,你要做到既不盯著對(duì)方打量,也不完全忽視對(duì)方。這個(gè)尺度該怎么拿捏呢?
You may look at the approaching strangers until they are about eight feet away, then your glances must veer away as they pass.
當(dāng)眾發(fā)言的時(shí)候, 他們是不會(huì)把腦袋埋在稿子里面說(shuō)話(huà)的。
A British lecturer should look at his audience now and then.
