“The language of the eyes”—one of the most common and ancient ways of exchanging feelings between boys and girls,men and women—is especially elaborate in the United States.Much study has been made of this:how people of the opposite sex show interest or indifference,encouragement or discouragement,approval or disapproval,affection or aversion.However,there are many differences even within the United States.Men use their eyes in different ways than women; there are differences of age,class or social status and geographical region; there are differences of ethnic background.
The story is told of a teenage Puerto Rican girl in a New York high school who was taken with a number of other girls to the principal for suspected smoking.Although there was no proof of any wrongdoing and although she had a good record,the principal decided she was guilty and suspended her.“There was something sly and suspicious about her,” he said in his report.“She just wouldn’t meet my eye.She wouldn’t look at me.”
When the principal questioned her it was true that she kept staring at the floor and refused to meet his eye.And in English there is a saying “Don’t trust anyone who won’t look at you in the eye.”
It happened that one of the teachers had a Latin American background and knew about Puerto Rican culture.After talking with the girl’s parents,he went to the principal and explained that according to Puerto Rican culture,a good girl “does not meet the eyes of an adult.” Such behavior,he explained,“is a sign of respect and obedience.”
Fortunately,the principal accepted the explanation,admitted his mistake and the matter was settled properly.This difference in interpreting a simple eye gesture was a lesson in cultural diversity that he would not easily forget.
Rules about eye-language are numerous and complex.What has been mentioned gives a good idea of this; we shall not go further into detail.
"我的语言的眼睛"最常见的和最古老的方式交流感情,男孩和女孩之间,男性和女性,尤其是阐述在美国.许多研究已经取得了这一点:人们如何对异性表现出兴趣或漠不关心,鼓励或挫折,赞成或反对,情感或反感.然而,也有不少分歧,甚至在美国.男人用自己的眼睛在以不同的方式比女性有不同的年龄,阶级或社会地位和地理区域,有不同的种族背景.
这个故事是说一个十几岁的波多黎各女孩在纽约的高中是采取与其他女孩给校长因涉嫌吸烟.虽然没有证据证明任何不法行为,虽然她有一个良好的记录,主要决定她有罪,暂停了她.“有一些狡猾和怀疑她的,”他说.“在他的报告中,她就不符合我的眼睛.她不看我.”
当校长质疑她的是真实的,她一直盯着地板,拒绝会见他的眼睛.和英文有句俗话:“不要相信任何人不会看你的眼睛.”
它发生,其中的老师曾是拉丁美洲的背景和知道波多黎各文化.会谈后,与女孩的父母,他到校长,根据波多黎各文化,一个好女孩”不符合的眼里,一个成人.”这样的行为时,“是一种标志,尊重和服从.”
幸运的是,主要接受的解释,承认自己的错误和问题妥善解决.这种差异在解释一个简单的眼科姿态是一个教训,在文化多样性的,他不会轻易忘记的.
规则约开眼界语言纷繁复杂.所提过,让一个好主意,我们不打算进一步细节.
