What does a kiss mean to you? Most people kiss their friends and family to show that they care about them, but a kiss can mean different things in different places.
Some people don't use their lips to kiss. In really cold places, sometimes people rub their noses together instead of kissing with their lips. In other places, people kiss by putting their faces together and blinking really fast. In some countries, people don't kiss at all.
There are some people who really like to kiss. There are even contests to see which two people can kiss the longest. In 1999, two people in Israel kissed for 30 hours and 45 minutes without stopping. That was the longest kiss in the world. (Marc Langer, staff writer)
一個吻對你來說代表什麼？多數人親吻親朋好友是為了表示自己關心他們，不過一個吻在不同地方會有不同涵義。
有些人不用嘴唇來親吻。在相當寒冷的地方，有時人們會以鼻子相互磨擦，而不是用唇來親吻。某些地方的人們會把臉湊在一塊，再快速眨眨眼。在某些國家，人們絕對不親吻。
有些人真的很喜歡親吻。甚至還有長吻大賽。一九九九年，以色列有兩個人連續接吻了三十小時又四十五分鐘，成為世界上歷時最久的吻。
