Have
you ever wondered about the origin of handshakes?
You might be
interested to know that the very
nature of the handshake was originally
intended to show oneself friendly。
你想过握手是从何起源的吗？也许你也想知道握手源自用来表达自己的友
善态度。
During the medieval times, when many of the men
were covered in armor,
the handshake was a
manner of greeting used to show friendship. If one
male extended an open hand to another, this
was understood to mean an
extension of
friendship and the gesture would be returned. Of
course the
alternative would be a hand
extended with an accompanying dagger or sword.
Suffice it to say the handshake was a way to
determine whether one was
friend or foe。
中世纪时期，很多男人穿着盔甲，握手是表示友谊的问候方式。如果男士向
另一位男士伸出摊开的手，这
意味着要交朋友。另一个人会回以同样的手势做反
应。当然，还有一种方式是伸出握着匕首或剑的手。这
足够说明握手是判断一个
人是朋友还是敌人的方法。

As you greet others cross-culturally you
should also remember that

others
around you. In general, men will exchange shakes
with other men
and likewise the women with
