1. V in Australia and England
澳大利亚和英国-“V”字手势
In 1992, George Bush visited Australia and, from the window of his limousine, held up his index and middle fingers in the “V” shape, a la Winston Churchill. With the palm facing outward, this V means victory in England, or peace in North America. Too bad Bush gestured with his palm facing inward, the nonverbal equivalent of “up yours.”
1992年,乔治·布什拜访澳大利的时候,效仿温斯顿·丘吉尔,从豪华的轿车里伸出食指和中指作出“V”字形的手势。手掌朝外摆出“V”字形在英国意味着胜利,在北美意味着和平。然而糟糕的是,布什的手掌朝内,这一手势意味着“见你的鬼去吧”。
2. Displaying your palms in Greece
希腊-手掌外翻
We use this gesture in North America to say “stop,” or, if you’re a child of the Jerry Springer era, “talk to the hand.” In Greece, keep your palms to yourself. Holding your palms out towards a person is a highly insulting gesture. This gesture is said to be a remnant of Byzantine times, when people could taunt shackled criminals by smearing their faces with excrement.
这个手势在北美的意思是“停止”,或者,如果你是杰里·斯普林格那个时代的孩子,你就知道这个手势就意味着“懒得理你”。 在希腊,最好保持手掌对着自己,因为对着别人伸出手掌是一种非常侮辱人的手势。这个手势要追溯到拜占庭时期,当时人们可以通过在脸上抹屎嘲讽狱中的罪犯。
