B4U4communication：noproblem课⽂翻译练习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 surprisedand 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 ordistance 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 othersor touch strangers as soon as they meet. However, people from places like Spain, Italy or South American countries approach others closelyand 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!。
2019-2020学年人教版英语必修四新素养同步讲义：Unit 4 Body language 1 Section Ⅰ Word版含答案
握手是人与人问候的基本礼仪，但方式不同，表达的意义也大不相同。
The Secret of the Successful HandshakeThe secret of the successful handshake is no secret anymore.Management consultant Robert E. Brown explains what shaking handsis all about in his book, The Art, the Po w er, the Magic: Ho w to ReadHands That Talk.For example, to do the “AllAmerican Handshake”，you have to look into another person’s eyes, hold his or her whole hand, two or three times. According to Brown, this is the handshake of a good listener and trustworthy person.Politicians and salespeople often use the “TwoHanded Handshake”because it’s extrafriendly. They put their left hand on the other per son’s arm or shoulder as they shake hands. This can feel too friendly to some people, so it’s best to use it with good friends.Watch out for people with handshakes that pull your fingers, or twist(扭转) your hand. If you get one of these handshakes, the person is trying to intimidate(恐吓) you.Two more uncomfortable handshakes are the “Palm Pinch”and the “Dead Fish”. A Palm Pincher shakes your hand with only a few fingers. In the Dead Fish handshake, the person’s hand slides out of the handshake. It’s possible that the people with these handshakes areembarrassed(尴尬的) or shy.Shaking hands is an important part of body language. It can identify someone as truthful, friendly, powerful, or nervous. It’s hard to be successful without knowing about a good handshake such as the AllAmerican. If this isn’t your natural handshake, don’t worry. Mr Brown says that you can change your handshake with lots of practice. So, go on out there and start shaking hands. Just think of all the people you can meet!Section ⅠWarming Up & Reading—Comprehending重点单词写作词汇1.dormitory n. 宿舍2.canteen n. 食堂3.approach v t.& v i. 接近；靠近；走近n. 接近；方法；途径4.cheek n. 面颊5.major adj. 主要的6.adult n. 成人；成年人adj. 成人的；成熟的7.dash v i. 猛冲；突进8.flight__n. 飞行；航班拓展词汇9.likely adj.可能的→unlikely adj.不可能的10.statement n．陈述；说明→state v．陈述；说明11.greet v i.& v t.迎接；问候→greeting n．迎接；问候；招呼12.represent v t.代表；象征→representation n．代表，代表团；代理→representative adj.代表性的n．代表，代理人13.association n．社团；联系；联想→associate v．把……联系起来14.curious adj.好奇的→curiously ad v.好奇地→curiosity n．好奇心15.defend v t.保护；保卫→defence n．防御；保卫16.misunderstand v t.误解；误会→misunderstanding n．误解；误会阅读词汇17.simply ad v. 简单地；只18.Muslim n．& adj. 穆斯林(的);__伊斯兰教信徒(的)19.posture n. 姿势；体态20.crossroads n. 十字路口重点短语1.put__up 举起；抬起2.in__defence 保卫；防御3.kiss__sb.on__the__cheek 亲吻某人的脸4.be__likely__to 很可能……；有希望……5.in__general 总的来说；通常6.defend...against 防御；保卫……以免受重点句型1.the first/second/.../last＋名词＋to do...：The__first__person__to__arrive(第一个到达的人) was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely followed by Julia Smith from Britain.2.状语从句的省略：She stepped back appearing surprised and put up her hands,as__if__in__defence(好像是在自卫).3.not all...表示部分否定：Not__all__cultures(并不是所有文化) greet each other the same way, nor are they comfortable in the same way with touching or distance between people.ⅠFast-readingSkim the text and do the following exercises.1．What does the text mainly talk about?A．Communication.

Unit 2 Communication Problems新编大学英语第二版第二册课文翻译
Unit 2 Communication ProblemsSpeaking Different LanguagesJohn Gray[1] When Martians and Venusians first got together, they encountered many of the problems with relationships we have today. Because they recognized that they were different, they were able to solve these problems. One of the secrets of their success was good communication.[2] Ironically, they communicated well because they spoke different languages. When they had problems, they would just go to a translator for assistance. Everyone knew that people from Mars and people from Venus spoke different languages, so when there was a conflict they didn't start judging or fighting but instead pulled out their phrase dictionaries to understand each other more fully. If that didn't work they went to a translator for help.[3] You see, the Martian and Venusian languages had the same words but different meanings depending on the way they were used. Their expressions were similar, but they had different connotations or emotional emphasis. Misinterpreting each other was very easy. So when communication problems emerged, they assumed it was just one of those expected misunderstandings and that with a little assistance they would surely understand each other. They experienced a trust and acceptance that we rarely experience today.[4] Even today we still need translators. Men and women seldom mean the same things even when they use the same words. For example, when a woman says, “I feel like you never listen,” she does not expect the word “never” to be tak en literally. Using the word “never” is just a way of expressing the frustration she is feeling at the moment. It is not to be taken as if it were factual information.[5] To fully express their feelings, women would tend to exaggerate the factsa little bit for effect and use various superlatives, metaphors, and generalizations.Men mistakenly take these expressions literally. Because they misunderstand the intended meaning, they commonly react in an unsupportive manner. In the following chart ten complaints easily misinterpreted are listed, as well as how a man might respond unsupportively.Ten Common Complaints That Are Easily MisinterpretedWomen say things like this: Men respond like this:“We never go out.” “That's not true. We went out last week.”“Everyone ignores me.” “I'm sure some people notice you.”“I am so tired, I can't do anything.” “If you don't like your job, then quit.”“I want to forget everything.” “I don't think there's anything to forget.”“The house is always a mess.” “It's not always a mess.”“No one listens to me anymore.” “But I'm listening to you right now.”“Nothing is working.” “Are you saying it is my fault”“You don't love me anymore.” “Of course I do. That's why I'm here.”“We are always in a hurry.” “We are not. Friday we were relaxed.”“I want more romance.” “Are you saying I am not romantic”[6] You can see how a “literal” translation of a woman's words could easily mislead a man who is used to using speech as a means of conveying only facts and information. You can also see how a man's responses might lead to an argument. Unclear and unloving communication is the biggest problem in relationships. The number one complaint women have in relationships is: “I don't feel heard.”[7] Even this complaint is misunderstood and misinterpreted![8] A man's literal translation of “I don't feel heard” leads him to take the woman's complaint lightly. He thinks he has heard her if he can repeat what she has said. A correct translation of a woman saying “I don't feel heard” is:“I feel as though you don't fully understand what I really mean to say or care about how I feel. Would you show me that you are interested in what I have to say”[9] If a man really understood her complaint, then he would argue less and be able to respond more positively. When men and women are on the verge of arguing, they generally misunderstand each other. At such times, it is important to rethink or translate what they have heard.说着不同的语言1 当火星人和金星人最初相聚时，也遇到了我们目前存在的许多人际关系问题。

In 1998, a newly married American couple went to New Zealand for their honeymoon. They rented a car and toured until they missed a stop sign. A police officer pulled them over. They explained that they were new in town and didn't know about the local traffic so were given a warning instead of a ticket. As a "thank you" gesture, the husband gave the "thumb up" sign. The police officer called for back up and hand cuffed the American man. (A "thump up" is seen as a rude gesture in New Zealand .)

Unit 4 BODY LANGUAGECOMMUNICATION， NO PROBLEM?阅读课教学设计一、教学设计思路教育部颁布的《全日制义务教育普通高中英语课程标准（实验）》的基本理念为：在进一步发展学生基本语言运用能力的同时，着重提高学生用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析和解决问题的能力，逐步培养学生用英语进行思维和表达的能力。
为了帮助学生打好高中英语课程的共同基础，教师要鼓励学生通过体验、实践、讨论、合作和探究等方式，结合课标要求以及课程内容，创造性地使用教材，设计学生感兴趣的教学活动，在此过程中培养学生用英语解决实际问题的能力。
二、学习任务分析本单元的中心话题是“身体语言”，从该话题展开，通过一系列的交际误会的场景，形象地表现出话题的中心：身体语言本身没有对错或好坏之分，它们是在特定的文化发展规律过程中形成的。
阅读文章描写了作者在机场迎接外国客人的场景，通过各国不同问候习惯造成的尴尬，形象地表明声势语与文化背景的密切关系。
阅读课读前让学生对身体语言的差异有初步感性的认识，而文章细节信息较频繁，需要教师梳理引导，通过阅读使学生具体了解声势语差异并升华到尊重文化差异的理性高度。
教学重难点【教学重点】1、合理使用不同的阅读策略帮助分析、理解文章，提高速读、略读能力。
2、了解声势语的不同文化内涵并正确加以运用同时能够尊重文化差异。
【教学难点】1、大部分的学生能够通过通过本课学习，提高速读、略读能力。
2、了解声势语的不同文化内涵并正确加以运用同时能够尊重文化差异。
三、学习者分析本课授课对象为来自湖北省荆州市北门中学高二（3）班的学生，声势语作为相对新颖有趣的话题，能够激发同学的讨论与学习兴趣，且通过第一课时热身课的准备，学生对于声势语有了一定的感性认识；同时3班学生上课发言较积极，敢于表达观点，这一特点为课堂活动的顺利进行提供了保证，也对教师适时引导和课堂掌控能力提出了要求；但3班学生英语水平参差不齐，尤其一部分程度较差的学生需要教师设计较基础的问题来提高参与度与积极性，另外在教学环节设计及细节处理上需要加入更多学生感兴趣的图片和内容，以吸引学生注意力。

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!。
