精彩书摘
Two or more people come together, trying to share some information. Theyare likely to be very different people. Becausetheir life eXperienceshave beendifferent, the signs that carry the information are likely to look different to them.The more different the experiences, the more different the information that islikely to be read into them. Ideas like "pain" and "hunger" have a fairly goodchance of being understood in common because all of us have experienced thesethings——though even in this case, the "stiff upper lip" tradition of one culture islikely to be misinterpreted in a culture where feelings are more openly expressed,But words like freedom, communism, and apologize obviously are going to causetrouble when people come from different life patterns, especially if they comefrom difaerent cultures. Note carefully, however, that communication is not conducted entirely, oreven mostly, in words. A gesture, a facial expression, a pitch pattern, a level ofloudness, an emphasis, a kiss, a hand on the shoulder, a haircut or lack of one,the octagonal shape of a stop sign——all these carry information.
