Body language is an important aspect of performance. An actor's body language plays a crucial part in telling the audience about the character they are playing.
肢体语言是表演的一个重要部分。一个演员的肢体语言在告诉观众他们表演的角色起到了重要的作用。
Body language is the way in which our bodies communicate our own or a character's attitudes. An audience or viewer can watch it to pick up on someone's age, emotions, status, or health.
肢体语言是表达我们自己或者角色态度的一种方式。观众通过观察就能注意到某人的年龄、情感、地位或者健康了。
For example, a student being told off by a teacher in a drama can easily tell the audience that she's not feeling sorry for what she's done by:
curling her lip
showing a bored look in her eyes
having her head slightly lowered
putting a hand on her hip
having her hip stuck out, with her weight on one leg.
