There is a lot of research that shows hugging is good for us. Dr. Jay Gordon wrote a book called ‘Brighter Baby’, which said hugging a child every day is more likely to make him or her more intelligent. Unlike kissing, hugging is
acceptable1 in most societies. It can be a form of greeting between friends, a way of celebrating a victory, or a way of showing your support for someone. It doesn’t matter what age, race, sexor religion you are; hugs can take place between any two people. Hugging also takes place in the animal world. Monkeys and apes are very fond of a hug to show their friendship. We even see the Teletubbies TV characters showing off their hugging skills as they give each other a “big hug”.
许多研究表明拥抱有益身心。杰·戈登医生曾经写过一本书,叫作“阳光宝贝”,书中提到每天与孩子拥抱能够让他们变得更加聪慧。不像亲吻,绝大部分文化都接受拥抱。拥抱可以是朋友之间的问候,一种庆祝胜利的方式,或者是展现你对他人的支持。拥抱不限年龄、种族、性别、宗教;任意两个人都可以拥抱。拥抱也可以出现在动物世界中。猴子和猿就非常喜欢用拥抱来表达友情。我们甚至能够在电视剧“天线宝宝”中看到角色中的拥抱能力。
