如今,一些中国人在拍照时喜欢将两根手指竖在同伴的头顶后方,但是绝大多数人并不明白,作V字手势时,手掌心朝前或朝后的意义却不大相同。V字手势有三种朝向:在美国,作V字手势时一般是掌心朝前,对着他人;英国人则有时掌心朝前,有时掌心朝后或掌心对着自己。掌心向后时是一种粗俗猥亵的用法。邱吉尔在1941年时,曾经掌心朝后对着英军作V字手势,引起很大议论。今日在英国,如果不明白掌心朝向的区别,你不是个离群索居的隐士,就是高高在上的统治者。 Nowadays, some Chinese like to put two fingers behind the head of their companion while photographing, but most people do not understand that the meaning of palm center is not the same when they make V shape. V-shaped gestures, there are three directions: in the United States, V-shaped gestures are generally palm facing forward, facing others; the British sometimes palm forward, and sometimes palm facing back or palm against themselves. Palm backward is a vulgar indecency usage. Churchill in 1941, once palm facing the British V-shaped gestures, aroused great discussion. Today in Britain, if you do not understand the difference in the direction of your palm, you are not a hermit who has been living in solitude.
