　　Did anyone find the names of “Great Britain”, “the United Kingdom”, “England” and “the British commonwealth” which have the same meaning? Strictly speaking, these names all refer to something different①. None of them are exactly the same as any of the others.

　　 The fact is that they have already communicated a lot, without ever saying anything. Nonverbal elements form a major part of any communication. People pick up more from nonverbal communication than from the words a person says. When we study a foreign culture, it just makes sense to pay attention to how people use nonverbal cues (暗示).

　　 Gestures consist of a major form of nonverbal communication. But often these gestures are culture-bound. For example, when the Maoris of New Zealand stick out their tongue at someone, it is a sign of respect. When American schoolchildren make the same gesture, it means just the opposite. Also, Americans often indicate "OK' with their thumb and forefinger touching to form a circle. The same gesture means "money" to the Japanese and "zero" to the French. For that reason,people in a foreign culture must use gestures with caution.

　　 Another part of nonverbal communication is the one that you might not think about--space.When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he knocks into someone, he feels obligated (有义务的 ) to apologize. But the size of a person's "comfort zone" varies, depending on his cultural or ethnic (种族的) origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. People in Latin or Arabic cultures, instead, stand very close to each other and touch each other often.

　　 Considering the effects of nonverbal communication, we never really stop communicating.How we walk, how we stand and how we use our hands all send a message to others. That's why it's possible to "read someone like a book".
