Living in such an immigrant country, Australia is surrounded by friends from all corners of the world.
But can gestures really make a difference?
This is not a little brother because of the habitual brush "V" gesture indicates victory, the result almost went to the hospital.
The reason is that little brother and a British someone wine, with many years of domestic wine, slightly better, happy, naturally than a "V" celebrate.
I didn't expect the British buddy to go straight to explosion, almost turning from wine tasting to fighting! "
What?
In my big days V is a household name, a standard photographic gesture, and one of the celebration gestures, which, by definition, is better than that.
In fact, in Britain and Australia, Ireland and New Zealand, the "V" gesture on the back of the hand is equivalent to "FK OFF".
So when you're with a foreign friend, happy, remember to know that this gesture is fine, or you'll get a beating for nothing.
Don't easily compare VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV!
In addition to anti-"V" gestures are more bizarre, what other gestures have special significance?
One, OK!
In our country, this gesture means "OK, no problem!", "Okay, I get it!" In the United States, the gesture also represents a positive sense of optimism.
But! In Brazil! You make this gesture, but you'll get beaten. I'll tell you! Because in the eyes of the Brazilian people, you make this gesture to them than the middle finger.
And, in places such as Greece and Turkey, this gesture is also a very meaningful gesture, which means that you are insinuating that the other person is a homosexual love.
And in some European countries, this round-like gesture also stands for 0, which means that you think they're Low, useless and worthless!
In some Middle East countries, "OK" is the symbol of evil. So for those of you who do not know the nationality of others, be more careful than OK. Be careful by K.O. In minutes!
Second, anti-V gesture
We usually like to take pictures more often than eggplant gestures, or in the game victory, also like to make V-gesture, but I do not know if you notice, we are more than V, the palm of our hands outward, hands facing ourselves.
But in Britain, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia, V-shaped hand gestures are insulting or provocative. So when you take pictures on Tu'ao Street, you must be careful not to show the back of your hands to the point where you accidentally show the back of your hands.
Three, thumbs up, you're a great gesture!
For a long time, in the hearts of the Chinese people, this gesture represents the meaning of "how good you are," to praise others and express their friendship. But the goose. In many countries, it is considered insulting.
In Australia, the gesture means scolding, while in Greece and Italy, it is equivalent.
Look at my mouth. Brother Ong-eun. I feel that the values have collapsed in a moment. Just ask if you have any!)
So if you find anything delicious in the restaurant, be sure to control your thumb!
In Iran, as well as in Iraq and many other Middle Eastern countries (and some West American and South American countries), thumbs-up is even more provocative, almost as often as the middle finger is commonly used in the West. Meet the Middle East brother, don't say you are so awesome! Or next. Yeah! It could be you!
Fourth, hook your fingers.
At home, this expression can be used by most flirtatious little girls to seduce the soul, but some places think it is an impolite gesture.
But in the Philippines! Don't use this gesture even if you have a coveted look! Because it's a special sign for a dog. And in Japan and Singapore, this gesture is a sign of death, like death beckons you.
Five, horn gestures.
The so-called horn gesture is the cool gesture that we often play together when we are high together. In order to let everyone know more intuitively! Ink editor with his abstract style of painting to show everyone, do not complain!
The gesture is also extremely popular in countries where football is booming in Spain, Portugal, Colombia, Brazil and Italy, because it is considered an intention to cheer and cheer, but it will also be used to protest referees' decisions. It means, "your wife's out of the wall!" (it is implied that the referee is only concerned with the judgment and neglects his wife's words.)
At Austin, Texas, this gesture is strictly forbidden! A mother once threw out a picture of Zhang He's son when she graduated. It was because of the horn gesture in the photo that she was sprayed.
In some countries and regions, this gesture is considered a symbol of evil and darkness, so the horn gesture is also known as the "horn of demons."
Sixth, the middle finger of the index finger crossed
This gesture is not used very much in daily life, but some people do it habitually. I remember when I was in high school, there was a male classmate in the class. Every time I went to the podium to speak, both the left and right hands would do this action at the same time. Then the middle finger of my index finger would be rubbed and rubbed, and the big probability was that I was nervous. =
In countries such as Spain and Brazil, the gesture is also banned. If you can't change the habit. Then put your hands in your pocket! Both cool and free!
Australia is a country that combines many cultures, where we may meet people of different faiths and cultures every day, and we may also face cultural conflicts because of cultural differences. Therefore, we must also be careful in daily life, so as not to inadvertently step on other people's mines.
