Among the kinds of social gestures most significant for second-language teachers are those which are【B1】______in form but different in meaning in the two cultures. For example, a Colombian who wants someone to【B2】______him often signals with a hand movement in which all the fingers of one hand, cupped, point downward as they move rapidly【B3】______. Speakers of English have a similar gesture though the hand may not be cupped and the fingers may be held more loosely, but for them the gesture means goodbye or go away, quite the【B4】______of the Colombian gesture. Again, in Colombia, a speaker of English would have to know that when he【B5】______height he must choose between different gestures depending on whether he is【B6】______a human being or an animal. If he keeps the palm of the hand【B7】______the floor, as he would in his own culture when making known the height of a child, for example, he will very likely be greeted by laughter; in Colombia this gesture is【B8】______for the description of animals. In order to describe human beings he should keep the palm of his hand【B9】______to the floor. Substitutions of one gesture for the other often create not only humorous but also【B10】______moments. In both of the examples above, speakers from two different cultures have the same gesture, physically, but its meaning differs sharply.
【B10】
选项
答案
embarrassing
解析
此处应该填入形容词,与前面的humorous一词构成并列结构。embarrassing意为“尴尬的”。
