译：另外几种非语言文字的交流就不是很容易控制的了。比如说目光接触吧。除非你坦白承认你深深爱上了她，要不然的话你就不会长时间地凝视着她的眼睛。如果你将来试一试凝视她的眼睛，你就会发现她会扭转头把眼睛挪开看其它地方，也许是出于难为情吧。

　　I've already mentioned proximity， so just a brief word now about our last two categories， which concern the way people dress and the way they speak. These are both pretty obvious signals. People may dress casually and speak casually， which signals that they are relaxed. Or they can dress formally and speak formally， showing their tenseness. In fact， non-verbal communication can， as the saying goes， speak volumes.

　　译：我上面已经把“亲近度”解释过了。现在用简明扼要的话讲讲最后两大类语言文字交流信号。这两类涉及到人们穿着的方式和讲话的方式。这两类都是很明显的交流信号。穿着随随便便而讲话又漫不经心，说明这些人的心情很轻松。如果人们穿得整整齐齐，讲起话来一本正经，这表明他们的心情很紧张很不轻松。事实上，非语言文字的交流，正如俗话所说的那样，含义是很深的。

　　12.pretty（a.）意思是 beautiful；在文中是副词，意思是 quite、very 非常、十分。
