　　“You don't have enough space，”Professor Babette Renneberg，a clinical psychologist at the Free University of

　　have about an arm's length of distance between us.And that's

　　act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threatening or

　　odd.“The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact，” she

　　said.
