meaning

of

silence

varies

among

cultural

groups.

Silences

may

be

thoughtful,

or

they

may

be

empty

when

a

person

has

nothing

to

say.

A

silence

in

a

conversation

may

also

show

stubbornness,

uneasiness,or

worry.

Silence

may

be

viewed

by

some

cultural

groups

as

extremely

uncomfortable;

therefore

attempts

may

be

made

to

fill

everygap(间隙)withconversation.Personsinotherculturalgroupsvaluesilenceandviewitasnecessaryforunderstandingaperson’sneeds.Many

Native

Americans

value

silence

and

feel

it

is

a

basic

part

of

communicating

among

people,

just

as

some

traditional

Chinese

and

Thai

persons

do.

Therefore,

when

a

person

from

one

of

these

cultures

is

speaking

and

suddenly

stops,

what

maybe

implied(暗示)

is
