Emoji是什么？

Emoji手势是一种通过符号或图像来表达特定情感、动作或意图的方式。它们起源于日本的移动电话文化，随着智能手机和社交媒体的普及，迅速成为全球性的语言现象。

Emoji通常包括表情符号、手势符号、动物、食物、活动等各种各样的图标。

在Unicode标准中，Emoji手势被正式定义和编码，以确保不同平台和设备之间能够正确显示和交流。例如，👍表示“赞”，🙏表示“感谢”或“祈祷”，🤔表示“思考”。用户可以利用这些手势来快速传达自己的情感反应或对某事的态度。

Emoji手势的使用非常灵活，它们可以独立使用，也可以与其他文本结合使用，以增强语言表达的丰富性和直观性。

然而，由于文化差异，某些Emoji手势在不同地区可能有不同的解读，因此在跨文化交流中使用时需要谨慎。总的来说，Emoji手势已成为现代数字通信中不可或缺的一部分，为人们的交流增添了趣味性和便捷性。

Happy, angry, amazed – these are some of the emotions we like to express these days when we're sending a message on our smartphones! That's why many of us now add little pictures to our texts to brighten up someones mobile screen but we're also using them as a quick way of telling someone how we're feeling. Yes, emojis have become a vital tool for communication.

Let's clear one thing up first – there are emojis and emoticons. The latter are little images made using normal keys on a keyboard. For example, a colon, two dots, followed by the curved line of a close brackets is a 'smiley face'. But as technology has become more sophisticated, pre-made images have been created that can be simply added to your messages, which is great!

The emoji was first invented in Japan in the late 1990s and the word 'emoji' comes from the Japanese words for 'picture' and 'character'. The number of different images has dramatically increased since then and now we have a picture for every mood or situation.

So now we have the option to give this new creation the visual 'thumbs-up' but have you thought (puzzled face) why we've become so addicted to using emojis? Professor Vyv Evans, has written a book called ‘The Emoji Code’ – he says "increasingly, what we’re finding is that digital communication is taking over from certain aspects of face-to-face interaction… one of the reasons emojis are so interesting is that they really do enable us to express our emotional selves much more effectively." So emojis are a sort of substitute for the visual signals or non-verbal cues we normally give when we speak to someone face-to-face.

Another advantage of emojis is that they are an international language – they don't use words but tell a message in pictorial form so they can be easily interpreted whatever your native language. However, the emojis you send need some thought as they can sometimes be misinterpreted – if a friend sends you an emoji of a hammer, you may think he is angry when really he is saying he has hurt himself or he is clumsy!

Emojis are a good way for showing empathy – they are a virtual hug or a flirtatious tease. But as linguist Neil Cohn says, "to many, emoji are an exciting evolution of the way we communicate; to others, they are linguistic Armageddon." It does show there is a lot more to our communication than words alone but does this mean the decline in traditional writing?

今天，就让小编带大家了解一下几张常见Emoji的英文表达吧！

grin 和微信里的 smile 的表情不一样， grin 是咧嘴笑，一般是表示真的开心的笑，而不是"呵呵"。

wink 使眼色；抛媚眼
