Gestures are used to replace words in many countries.They usually have different meanings in different cultures.Let's look at the three gestures.
What does the "O" gesture mean?
If you are an English speaker or diving(潛水) under the sea,it means "OK" or "good".In fact,it's believed that this gesture is popularized(普及) by divers.The Japanese read it as "money".The French read it as "zero" or "no value".
What does the "thumb-up" gesture mean?
This gesture also means differently in different countries.English speakers use it to stand for "OK",which is the same meaning as the "O" gesture.The two can be used almost interchangeably.
To most people,it stands for the number "1",since they count from 1 to 5,beginning with the thumb for 1 and ending with the little finger for the number 5.
Although Americans and British people usually ask for a ride with their thumbs raised,the gesture will not make a Greek driver stop to give them a ride.
What does it mean to stretch out your index finger(食指)?
Extending the index finger means different things in different countries.The Chinese stretch their index finger upward to indicate the number.They can refer to integers(整數(shù)) such as "one", "one hundred", "one thousand",etc.In Japan,the index finger up means only one or once.This gesture represents the first in order.In the United States,use this gesture when asking the other person to wait.In Australia,in bars and restaurants,the forefinger is extended upward,saying, "A glass of beer,please."
In the Middle East,it is impolite to point at something with your index finger.
