手勢是人體語言最重要的組成部分，也是重要的交流工具，世界不同的國別或相異的民族，同一種手勢語表達的意思可能大體相同或相近，也有可能截然相反。對於生活喜好不同的國家，帶有特殊含義的手勢語也應運而生，比如美國，法國和俄羅斯人都有表示喝酒的手勢，而它們之間又有很大的區別，跟隨視頻一起來了解一下吧！

It's well known that some gestures mean different things in different parts of the world.

許多人都知道有些手勢在不同的地方，其代表的意思可能也不盡相同。

In some places such as Britain, this means everything's okay, while in Brazil and other places it's considered obscene.

在某些地方，如英國，這手勢代表「萬事OK」，但在巴西和其他地方，它被視為猥褻動作。

And in still other places such as Japan, it means money.

而在其他地區，比如日本，它代表「錢」

In Italy they might make this sign to emphasize a point, while in Jordan it can mean " wait a second" .

在義大利，人們或許會做這個手勢來強調語氣，但在約旦這代表「等一下」

Certain things often have gestures for them.

特定的事物往往有特定的手勢。

For instance, in most places where drinking alcohol is popular, there's a sign for drinking or getting drunk.

Among the most common and probably oldest gestures are nodding for " yes" and shaking the head for " no" ， but even this isn't universal.

And in South Asia, they have a third option which involves tilting the head from side to side.
