Помогите грамотно перевести: · You are in China and your friend
is introducing you to her father. He stands opposite you, holding his right
hand in a fist against his left palm and nodding slightly. You feel nervous.
Have you done something wrong? A clenched fist almost always suggests anger. Well,
in China
this gesture is a polite way to greet someone.
· You are in Thailand. You’re
sitting on a bus with the soles of your shoes showing. Whoops!
Be careful. This is insulting.
You’re invited to a
family meal in Greece.
You’re deep in conversation with your friend and you nod your head to show you agree, as all English people do. However,
he looks confused and a little surprised. That’s because in Greece people nod
their head to say ‘no’ while the English
shake their head to say exactly the same thing! The world of gestures can be
very confusing. A harmless gesture in one country can be a terrible insult in
another. So when you are abroad, be very aware of what you are saying with your
bodybus with the soles of your shoes showing. Whoops! Be careful. This is insulting.
