| DỊCH: Body language is a vital form of communication. In fact, it is believed that the various forms of body language contribute about 70 percent to our comprehension. It is important to note, however, that body language varies in different cultures. Take for example, eye movement. In the USA a child is expected to look directly at a parent or teacher who is scolding him or her. In other cultures the opposite is true. Looking directly at a teacher or parent in such a situation is considered a sign of disrespect. Another form of body language that is used differently, depending on the culture, is distance. In North America people don't generally stand as close to each other as in South America. Two North Americans who don't know each other well will keep a distance of four feet between them, whereas South Americans in the same situation will stand two to three feet apart. North Americans will stand closer than two feet apart only if they are having a confidential conversation or if there is intimacy between them. | Ngôn ngữ cơ thể là một dạng thức giao tiếp quan trọng. Trên thực tế, người ta cho rằng các hình thức ngôn ngữ cơ thể đa dạng đóng góp khoảng 70% đến sự thông hiểu của chúng ta. Tuy nhiên, điều quan trọng cần lưu ý là ngôn ngữ cơ thể thì đa dạng ở các nền văn hóa khác nhau. Lấy ví dụ về cử động mắt. Ở Mỹ, một đứa trẻ nên nhìn trực tiếp vào bố mẹ hoặc giáo viên đang la mắng mình. Ở các nền văn hóa khác thì lại trái ngược. Việc nhìn thẳng vào giáo viên hay bố mẹ trong tình huống như thế được xem là một dấu hiệu bất kính. Một hình thức ngôn ngữ cơ thể khác được dùng khác nhau, tùy thuộc vào nền văn hóa, chính là khoảng cách. Ở Bắc Mỹ mọi người không thường đứng gần nhau như ở Nam Mỹ. Hai người Bắc Mỹ không biết rõ nhau sẽ giữ khoảng cách bốn feet giữa họ, trong khi người Nam Mỹ lại sẽ đứng cách nhau 2 đến 3 feet trong tình huống tương tự. Người Bắc Mỹ sẽ đứng gần nhau hơn 2 feet chỉ khi họ đang có cuộc trò chuyện bí mật hoặc giữa họ có sự thân mật. |
