(A)
Are you still doing the V-for-victory sign? It's out. The latest popular hand gesture is to curl (卷曲) both of your hands and make a heart-shape. Known as "hand heart", the move was done by many young stars including Simon, Debbie and Jessica in recent photos.
"The heart-hand gesture means something between 'I love you' and 'thank you'," said the country singer Jessica, "It's a sweet, simple message which you can send without saying a word." Jessica 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, Simon and his friends did the hand heart and put the photos online. They 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 non-verbal (不用语言的) culture to move. But now, with smartphones and the Internet, it's much faster," said Martin, an American language expert.
In the Republic of 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". (241 words)
