Now, a group of researchers reports that gesturing adds emphasis to speech but not in the way researchers had thought.Gesturing while speaking, or “talking with your hands”，

31、 is common around the world. Many communications researchers believe that gesturing is either done to stress important points, or to explain specific ideas, which you can think of as the “drawing in the air”. But there are other possibilities. For example, it could be that gesturing, by changing the

32、 size and shape of the chest, lungs and vocal muscles, affects the sound of a persons speech.Researchers decided to test whether this idea was true, or just so much hand waving. The team had volunteers move their dominant hand (优势手) as if they were cutting wood, while continuously saying “a” as in “

33、cinema”. They were instructed to keep the “a” sound as steady as they could. Despite that instruction, when the team played audio recordings to other people, they found the listeners could hear the speakers gestures. When the listeners were asked to move their arms to the rhythm, their movements mat

34、ched perfectly with those of the original speaker.Because of the way the human body is constructed, hand movements influence torso (躯干) and throat muscles. Gestures are tightly tied to amplitude (振幅). Rather than just using your chest muscles to produce air flow for speech, moving your arms while yo

35、u speak can add voice emphasis. And you can hear someones motions, even when theyre trying not to let you.“Some language researchers dont like this idea, because they want language to be all about communicating the contents of your mind, rather than the state of your body. But we think that gestures

36、 are allowing the voice signal to carry additional information about bodily tension and motion.

44、greet each other that dont involve passing germs along unintentionally from one person to the next. 3 In fact, the tradition of shaking hands isnt the only greeting to take a fresh look.

45、making fun of the Hollywood air kiss, though its not a huge improvement healthwise.COVID19 is a real threat, and we shouldnt take the warning lightly. We may, indeed, need to keep our hands to ourselves for the time being. But were not ready to send handshakes into the dustbin of history. Humans lon
