Question

【題目】 Are you still doing the V for victory sign? It’s out. The latest popular hand gesture (手勢(shì)) is to curl (卷曲) both of your hands and put them together to make a heart shape.

Known as “Hand heart”, many young stars in the US including Justin Bieber, Blake Lively and Taylor Swift have done the gesture in recent photos.

“The heart hand gesture means something between I love you and thank you,” said the country singer Taylor Swift. It’s a sweet, easy message which you can send without saying a word.

Taylor Swift often puts her hands above her head in the heart shape at her concerts. And she as believed to be the first to make the gesture popular. Last month during a charity show, Justin Bieber and his superstar friends did the hand heart and put the photo online. They did it to help three kids whose parents were killed in a car accident. The gesture became more popular after that.

“It used to take longer for nonverbal (不用語(yǔ)言的) culture to move. But now, with smart phones and the Internet, it’s much faster,” said Patti Wood, an American language expert (專(zhuān)家).

In our neigkbor country - South Korea, the hand heart has been popular for a long time. In a different way, people there like making a “bigger heart” by putting their hands above their heads and making a heart shape with their arms. It means “I love you”.
