Wanting a symbol for resistance to the Nazi occupation, he came up
39、 with the single letter V, which stood not only for his own first name, but also for English victory, Flemish virijheid, and French victoire. The symbolism of the sign spread very quickly, and Winston Churchill used it constantly in public appearance. Thus throughout the 1940s and 1950s, the gesture
40、 meant simply victory .The second meaning came in the 1960s. Because of its military implication, American antiwar protestors used the sign sarcastically （讽刺地）against the arms, so that it became known as the “peace sign*. In the 1970s, the W sign, which had lost its military implication, was a commo
41、n greeting among freedom lovers , acid heads, political radicals, and ultimately, young people in general.

43、n you or, when placed behind another*s head, his wife has been cheating on him. nIn the United States, the gesture is typically given with the palm facing the viewer. The British use both this version and an older, palm - backward version ; the latter is obscene in American culture, and corresponds
44、to the American “finger. Churchill got some surprised stares in 1941 when, evidently unaware of the mean usage, he gave the palm - backward nV to British troops. In England today you could have to be a social hermit not to understand the distinction. Astonishingly, however, Margaret Thatcher repeate
