答案

交谈时话语双方之间的物理距离.尤其是在跨文化交际中,一定要把握好这个距离,否则很容易给人一种不礼貌的感觉,这主要是由于西方人特别强调私人空间的意识.请看下面的例子：
Among English speakers,personal space is very important.Indeed,personal space is important in all languages,but the distance considered critical to trigger discomfort differs.Spanish speakers tolerate a much closer speaking distance,a distance of some thirty centimeters,which is about half that which English speakers prefer.Thus,a Spanish speaker will instinctively move in closer to talk with an English speaker,who instinctively moves away,closer to his preferred speaking distance.
