現在，我在演播廳，可是，我的聲音讓你覺得我就在你面前。
Communicating by voice alone has its drawbacks, though.
但是，光憑聲音溝通是有缺點的。
For example, I can't use hand gestures to clarify what I mean.
比如，我現在無法用手勢來表達自己。
And, as it turns out, that makes a big difference.
這說明手勢對溝通很重要。

They had volunteers watch video clips of a woman saying different simple phrases, such as “the square box,” or “peel the banana.”
志愿者被要求觀看視頻短片，短片中有個女人在說各種簡單短語，比如，“方盒子”、“剝香蕉”。
In some, she simply said the phrase without moving her hands.
