Question

When we do not understand each other’s language, we can talk with the help of signs.

A Frenchman was once travelling in England. He could not speak English at all. One day he went into a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, he opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. He wanted to say, “Bring me something to eat.”

The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. He moved his head from side to side. The waiter understood him and took the tea away. In a moment he came with a cup of coffee, but the man again refused it. He shook his head whenever the waiter brought him something to drink, for drinks are not food.

When the man was going away, another man came in. This man saw the waiter, and he put his hand on his stomach. That was enough. In a few minutes there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the table in front of him.

So, you see sometimes we can understand the language of signs as well as the language of words.

【解析】

試題分析：當我們不懂彼此的語言的時候,我們可以借助肢體語言的幫助。一個法國人曾經在英國旅行。他不會說英語。有一天,他走進一家餐館,坐在一張桌子。當服務員來了,他張開嘴,把他的手指放進去又拿了出來。他想說:“給我拿點吃的�！边@位服務員馬上就給他端來一杯茶。他搖了搖頭,服務員把茶拿走了。不一會兒他帶了一杯咖啡,但那人再次拒絕了。那人離開以后,另一個男人走了進來。這個人看見侍者,他把手放在他的胃。這就足夠了。幾分鐘以后大盤子肉和蔬菜就放在他面前的桌子上。
