摘　　要：在世界上的许多国家,竖起大拇指是一种表示赞扬的手势。但在中东地区,它的含义却并不友好,人们将此种手势视为一种侮辱。每种文化都有其独特的内涵。拿我们经常探讨的东西方文化差异举例,西方文化经常被描述为更看重个人主义,而东方文化则更注重集体主义。In many cultures around the world,the‘thumbs-up'gesture is generally understood as a sign of a job well done,perceived'in a positive light.However,if you flash this sign in the Middle East2,it would be taken as an insult3 equivalent4 to what giving the finger means to most of us.
