5.耸肩
Shrugging your Shoulders
在美国文化中,耸肩既可以表示无能为力,也可以表示不在乎、无
所谓。其意义为:“别问我,我可不知道说什么好。”或者是:
“我无能为力。”耸肩表明一个人感到无能为力或者不能确定自己
能否对特定的情形做出确切的反应,即感到未置可否。

In American culture shrugging the shoulders can indicate either a feeling of helplessness or of unconcern : "Don't ask me, I don't know what to say, " or, "I couldn't help it." The shoulder shrug shows that a person feels incapable or uncertain of responding positively to a given situation.
