Unit 21 Body language教案

3. sometimes we say one thing but our body language says something different. why does this happen? can you think of any examples?
there are several situations where a person's body language may not match what he or she is saying： a speaker who is trying to sound confident but whose hands are shaking； a person who says that he or she is interested in what we are saying but who looks away or taps his or her feet, etc. it probably happens because it is more difficult to control one's body language than to control what one says.

what can you learn from this passage?
1）when in rome, do as the romans do！
2）英美人用大拇指（thumb）表示許多不同的意思
to thumb one's nose 以大拇指按鼻,其余四指張開,表示輕視。在英美等國家,你會看到這種手勢經常用在調皮的孩子們中間。他們用大拇指點著自己的鼻子,而其他四指張開不停地搖動,表示“輕蔑”或“嘲弄”。
to twiddle one's thumbs 無聊地交互繞動著兩個大拇指。表示“無所事事,懶散”。
they kept the manager busy and left me twiddling my thumbs.
  他們讓經理忙得不可開交,而置我于無所事事之中。
thumbs down 大拇指朝下。表示反對或拒絕。
thumbs up 翹起大拇指。表示贊成或夸獎�！　�
但值得一提的是在英美等西方國家,有時會看到有人站在馬路邊,朝駛過來的車輛伸出一只翹起大拇指的拳頭。這是請求搭便車的表示。所以搭車也可以說“to thumb a lift”。
