Picture catching someone's eye across a room and giving a small nod. Nothing has been agreed and nothing has been praised — you have simply let them know that you see them. Every other use is that nod pointed at something else: at a fact you would rather not see, at someone's ability, at their authority, at help they gave you, or at a parcel that arrived.

可以想成:在房間另一頭跟某人對上眼,你輕輕點了個頭。沒有答應什麼,也沒有稱讚什麼,你只是讓對方知道「我看到你了」。其他每一個用法,都是把這個點頭指向別的東西:指向一個你不太想面對的事實、指向某人的實力、指向他的權威、指向他幫過你的忙,或指向一個寄到的包裹。
