【題目】

Sometimes, using hand gestures can be more informative and convenient than using words, especially when you can’t speak someone else’s language. But before you head out into the world using the hand gestures you already know, you may want to do some research first to find out what signs are acceptable — and where.

V for Victory?

In Asia, "V" stands for victory. But in Western countries, it can mean peace, too. When you make the sign, be sure to have the front of your palm facing outward. Showing people the back of your hand is an impolite gesture in the UK.

L for Loser.

The letter "L", made with your thumb and index finger, stands for "Loser" and is an insult. So it’s best to avoid making this sign.

Blah-blah-blah!

This gesture looks like a talking mouth. It is often used to describe someone who is talking too much and doing too little. It’s also a little rude.

Fingers Crossed.

Crossing the index and middle fingers is used to wish for good luck. Students might make this sign before an exam. Of course, it doesn’t actually help!

ILY Sign.

This really nice hand gesture is from American Sign Language. It combines the letters "I" "L" and "Y" to mean "I love you".

Counting with Fingers.

And finally, for the most useful signs — how to count the numbers from one to ten. Notice how English-speaking countries use both hands instead of one. So the next time you go to a market in the US, remember to use these signs to bargain.
