小刚是北京的一名高中生,他想在2008的北京奥运会上当一名志愿者,最近他参加了一些培训,在培训中他了解到:要当好志愿者,除了要学好外语外,还要了解不同国家的身势语,只有这样才能更好地帮助外国朋友,当好东道主.小刚觉得很有趣,他想把他所了解的知识写信告诉他在外地的笔友――小明。现在请你以小刚的名义写这封信,信要包括下面的要点:
1. 不同文化有不同的身势语。
2. 法国人热情,见到熟人互相握手,亲吻彼此的脸。
3. 中东国家特别是穆斯林国家的男人说话是站的较近,但对妇女只是点头,从不与妇女有身体接触。
4. 一般来说,全世界的见面都握手,但日本人更喜欢鞠躬。
5. 不同的身势语无所谓好与坏,但了解它们可以增进了解,减少误解,避免交往中的困难。
注意:
1. 注意书信的格式(可参考课本P32)
2. 不要逐字逐句的翻译要点,可根据需要适当增加。

Dear Xiao Ming
Glad to write to you! Last time I told you that I wanted to be a
volunteer in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. These days I am
attending some training courses and learn that in order to be a
good volunteer, we should learn about body language as well as
foreign languages. I find it interesting. I’d like to share it with
you.
As we all know, every culture has its own body language. Take
Greetings for example, the French are open-minded, they shake hands
and kiss each other on each cheek when they meet people they know.
Men from Middle East and other Muslin countries often stand close
to other men to talk, but they will never touch women, they just
nod at women. In general, people all over the world now greet each
other by shaking hands, but the Japanese prefer to bow.
None of these actions is either good or bad, however, studying it
will help reduce misunderstanding between peoples and avoid the
difficulties in communication.
So much for these, I must stop now. Looking forward to your
letter.
Yours
Xiao Gang

你是Mike, 接到朋友Steven的来信, 他将有十天的假期, 想带家人去香港新建的Disneyland一游。 你刚刚去过那里,
想跟你了解情况。 请你根据广告内容和旁边注明的提示(不能照抄广告,需要适当发挥)给Steven写封回信。
词数100左右。(信的开头已给,不计入词数)
Really save money!
Excellent food and Service!
Regret
(waste a lot of money)
Dear Steven,
I’m glad to hear from you again. I am also pleased to hear that
you’ve got a ten-day holiday and are coming here to have a visit in
the Disneyland.
In order for you to save some money, I’d like to give you some
tips. I suggest you buy the five-day All –in-one hopper pass, which
is HK$1,460 for visitors aged 10 to up and HK$ 1,200 for kids aged
3~9. you can save money compared with the tickets you buy
separately. I think you’d better have lunch at nearby restaurants,
where excellent food is served and the service is good, but you
must make a reservation before leaving home. You will be a Gold
Card member if you pay HK$520. with the card you can save 20
percent of money for hotel rooms. My last tip is that you’d better
not buy any souvenirs until the end of your journey. I spent a lot
of money on expensive but valueless things.
Enjoy your trip and all the best wishes!
