I still remember my father’s sheepish(窘迫的)expression at breakfast the morning after he’d been invited to have dinner at a colleague’s house. ________ arriving in Brazil, back in the dark ages of computing, he’d ________ his hosts by making a hand gesture(手势)which he had always understood to mean “OK”, but in Brazil, it meant something quite different.

Even worse, he’d raised his fingers to his lips and made a kissing sound, which again, he meant as a way of ________ that something——in this case the meal he’d just been asked to ________——was delicious.

The faux pas(失礼)was ________ forgotten. My father’s colleague and his wife understood he probably wasn’t yet ________ of the local meaning of the gesture. I was ________ of this moment myself a few months into my stay in China. After ________ a colleague’s WeChat message with a Van Gogh sticker that I thought meant “keep fighting”, a second colleague appeared. “The Chinese version is a bit different,” she said, “See these characters?” They mean “I will hit you.”

Life is full of ________ meanings. We generally understand that even if it stings, a mistake is only an insult(冒犯)when it is ________. Intention, much like possession, is nine-tenths of this law. ________ as we look around, much friction(争执)originates from misunderstanding, and history is full of the ________ results of crossed communication.

My father’s faux pas was ________ because of context—he had just arrived, he could not know, and it didn’t make sense that he’d be offensive(无礼的)by design. But when context is ________ or differently understood—perhaps it is time we all think twice before typing or talking, especially when the consequences can be much ________ than the misuse of a WeChat sticker.

【推荐3】It s funny how a small corner of the earth can have outsized relevance in life. For me, it’s a swing set on a playground.

I decided to take my six year old son Joe on a weekend trip to the University of Virginia, my alma mater (母校). I planned out every detail _________ and wanted my son to become familiar with something dear to me, _________ he did not fully understand. I took Joe to my favorite breakfast spot. I _________ him my dorm and fraternity (兄弟会) house, and then the bar where I’d worked in college. We even went to a lacrosse (长曲棍球) game. All of this registered with my son, but without the _________ I expected. _________, we were running out of things to do. I asked Joe what he wanted to see. I would never _________ his response: “I would not mind finding a swing set.” That’s when it hit me. For a guy who thought he _________ every inch of his college town, the question caught me flat-footed: I had no idea where to look. _________, I remembered the Venable Elementary School, something I’d _________ countless times but never really noticed. We parked in the lot, empty on a Saturday, and I __________ my son and watched him delightedly swing back and forth. It was the joy I had sought for him on my terms, __________ he only found on his.

What did I learn on that trip? First, travel is great fun and often leads to __________. But our world will always assure us greater happiness which is just around the corner. Second, do not rely too much on your __________. Do your best but stay __________, and always remember what John Lennon said: Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans. Third, there is always a new way to __________ things, no matter how much you think you know. I’m sure I would have missed the lesson if Joe hadn’t made his old man stop at the swings in Charlottesville. For that, I will always be grateful.
