If the eyes are the windows of the soul,
then the body is the mirror of our feelings. If we are feeling great, we may
give our body signals. If we look at someone else's body, we can often tell how
he or she is feeling by his or her body signals. So reading body language
signals is a great tool in daily communication.
In case (假使) you
don't think that learning how to read and use body language is important, here
are some numbers for you. 7%of the information we receive is from what people
actually say, and 38%of the information we receive is from the tone (语气) and the speed of their voice; while 55%of the information we
receive is from their body language.
These non-verbal (非语言的) signals will help you a lot, but you still need to focus on what
people are saying. If you focus too much on their body language signals, you
and the people may feel uncomfortable.
It is useful to be able to read people's
body language, but it is useful to learn how to send the right signals and
avoid the wrong signals too. Body language maybe given several
interpretations. Many signals have different meanings, depending on the
person and the situation. Be sure of it when you are trying to read a body language
signal.
