Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For instance, in American culture the smile is typically an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other functions. A smile may show affection, convey politeness, or disguise true feelings. It is also a source of confusion across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even suspicious behaviour. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places. Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong place; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover emotional pain or embarrassment.
Our faces reveal emotions and attitudes, but we should not attempt to "read" people from another culture as we would "read" someone from our own culture. The degree of facial expressiveness one exhibits varies among individuals and cultures. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural restraints on the amount of nonverbal expressiveness permitted.
If we judge people whose ways of showing emotions are different according to our own cultural norms, we may make the mistake of "reading" the other person incorrectly.
选项
A、The meaning of facial expressions depends on situations.
B、Facial expressions can cause misunderstanding across culture.
C、People from one culture may lack facial expressions because they experience less emotions.
D、Facial expressions may disguise true feelings.
答案
C
解析
文章中提到,某一文化背景的人不像另一文化背景的人那样公开地表达自己的情感,并不是他们没有经历这些感情,而是在非言语的表达上有文化上的禁锢。因此选项 C是错误的,和原文意思相反。
