Abstract: With the rapid development of society, the communication between countries is becoming closer and closer. Cross-cultural communication activities occur more frequently. One of the most important elements may be appreciation and respect for cultural differences during communication. In the past several decades, people tend to adopt verbal communication to exchange ideas and opinions. However, in recent years, studies show that nonverbal communication is playing an essential role in human communication that verbal language can’t do. Thus it is necessary and essential to focus on the research of nonverbal communication and cultural differences.
Based on nonverbal communication, the author attempts to compare the differences of nonverbal communication between Chinese and English from four aspects, including body language, environment language, object language, paralanguage. Through the analysis of differences, some cultural reasons for differences are explored, including cultural differences in value and modes of thinking. Finally, some effective suggestions are put forward, with the aim of helping people employ nonverbal behaviors effectively and correctly in the cross-cultural communication.
Key Words: nonverbal communication; cultural differences; Chinese and English

Human communication is made up of verbal communication and nonverbal communication. Modern Linguistics show that in the process of face-to-face communication, the social content of information occupied linguistic performance was only 35%. And the rest were passed through the nonverbal behavior. From this, it can be seen that nonverbal communication is quite widespread.
In addition, Helabiesi, the psychologists, had put forward the formula: total information transmission effects are equivalent to 7% of the language plus 38% of speed and tone of the language plus 55% of facial expressions and movements. It can be concluded that body language is playing an important role in the communication. However, national people don't pay attention to their own cultural nonverbal behavior. And in the meanwhile, they are so sensitive to other cultural nonverbal behaviors. As a result, it often occurs to the understanding deviation. And even more, it can lead to culture shock.
