a
難度:★
the "thumbs-up"
while western culture has become used to the thumbs-up as a positive signal (probably coming from world war ii pilots using the signal to communicate that they were "good to go" with ground crews), there are cultures where a thumbs-up may land you in trouble. in west africa, as well as greece, italy and middle east, the thumbs-up is pretty much the biggest insult(侮辱).
rather more charming is a thumbs-up in germany and in parts of japan —they just see it as the hand signal for the number one.
the "a-ok"
this sign is mainly used by divers(潛水員)to mean "ok"(to prevent being confused with the thumbs-up sign, which means "rise"). basically the meaning comes out as "great", or "completely fine". however, in a few countries in europe, people may think you’re telling them that you think they’re a 'zero’.
the "v sign"
the sign comes in two formats: one with the palm faced outwards, and one with the palm inwards. in america they mean the same thing —"victory". however, if the outside of your hand is facing your target, you’re giving somebody a long-established insult in great britain and many english-speaking countries such as australia, ireland and new zealand. winston churchill famously used the "incorrect" version of the v sign during the early years of the war, turning the outside inside later. the v sign is also considered rude in italy.
