The Eye-contact in Communication 交流中的眼神接触
Once, I talked to the foreign people, he was staring at me all the time, which made me feel not comfortable, so I chose to avoid his eyes and kept a little distance from him. When I talked about this problem to my foreign teacher, she told me that it was natural for them to look at you during communication, which meant respect. While in China, people do the opposite thing. They try to avoid eye-contact, because it is not eased to look at each other. The different culture sometimes creates distance. The foreigners always feel strange when they look at Chinese people’s eyes and every time when they want to come closer to hear more clearly, Chinese people will walk away. So the more we learn about the culture, the more we know about the world. |
