简述手势的表意功能。

答案

参考答案:

手势是公关交际活动中体态行为的一种最有表现力的“语言”。人们在交谈时往往以手势配合谈话内容,达到表意表情的目的。如在谈话激动时,往往攥紧拳头;谈到高兴处,往往双手舞动等等。手势又常常可以为我们了解对方提供线索。如日本许多负责接待和社会事务工作的人员发现,当服务人员倒满一杯热茶递给客人时,为人诚实忠厚,通情达理的人会搂紧食指、中指双手稳稳地接住;而精于社交,敏捷练达的人却用大拇指和食指轻轻地接住;神经过敏,自卑感较强的人小拇指翘起,其他手指合拢握住杯子。细心的服务人员就会从接杯的姿势中推断出客人的性格,给予恰到好处的服务。由此可见,手势在人际交往中可以起到的积极效应。

     Robert Spring, a 19th century forger (伪造者), was so good at his profession that he was able to make his

living for 15 years by selling false signatures of Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in

Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he became rich by selling his small but real collection of early

U.S. autographs (手稿). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George

Washington and Ben Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To lessen the chance of detection

(察觉), he sent his forgeries to England and Canada for sale.

     Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger can't deal with a respectable buyer but people who

don't have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example,

they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals.

     In Spring's time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the Southern states, so Spring invented a

respectable maiden lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General "Stonewall" Jackson. For

several years Miss Fanny's financial problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts.

Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in

poverty, leaving sharp-eyed experts the difficult task of separating his forgeries from the originals.
