Question

【題目】 Are you still doing the V sign for victory? It’s out. The latest popular hand gesture 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 move 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, simple 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 is believed to be the first to make the gesture popular.

Last month during a charity show, Justin Bieber and his superstar friends did it to help out three kids whose parents were killed in a car accident. The gesture became a real hit after that. “It used to take longer for nonverbal(非語言的) culture to move. But now, with smart phones and the Internet, it’s much faster,” said Patti Wood, an American language expert(專家).

In Korea(韓國), 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.”
