Make Yourself At Home
别客气,就当自己家一样
1. “ In my country, men usually go to restaurants on their own. They always take their shoes off before they go in. Then they usually sit on the floor around a small, low table. In the evening they often sing songs.”
在我国,男人经常单独去餐厅.进去之前先脱鞋子,然后坐在地板上,身边一个小矮桌子.晚上还经常唱唱歌.
2. “ You usually take chocolates or flowers. But you always take an odd number of flowers, and you remove the paper before you give them to the hostess. You can also send flowers before you arrive. you don’t usually take wine except when you visit very close friends.”
拜访朋友时我们常带上巧克力或者鲜花.但但花的数量要是单数,而且送人之前要把纸片拿掉.当然你也可以在去之前就把花送上.除非常要好的朋友外尽量不要带酒.
3. “ We always offer our guests something to drink when they arrive, tea, coffee or perhaps water or soft drinks. We think it is polite to accept a drink even if you’re not thirsty. If you visit someone you always stay for a few drinks. When you have had enough to drink, you tap your cup or put your hand over it. If you say no, your host will insist that you have more to drink.”
客人刚到我们常会递上饮料,茶、咖啡有时会是白开水或者一些其他的饮料.在我们这里接受这些饮料是一种礼貌哪怕你不渴.一般做客都会呆上一段时间,加入你已经喝够了,就可以轻敲一下杯子或者用手盖在上边.但是如果你说不喝了,主人会认为你客气,他们会继续给你倒上.
4. “ People’s private lives are very important so they never ask you personal questions about your family or where you live or your job. They never talk about religion or matters of finance, education or politics, but usually stay with safe subjects like the weather, films, plays, books and restaurants.”
每个人的隐私都是非常重要的所以平时从不问及这些问题如住所、工作等.也从不会讨论关于宗教、财政、教育、政治等问题,而是诸如天气、影视、游戏、书籍或者餐厅等话题.
5. “ It’s difficult to know when to leave, but an evening meal usually lasts about three or four hours. When the host serves coffee, this is sometimes a sign that the evening is nearly over, but you can have as much coffee as you want.”
拜访多长时间这可不好一概而论,但是晚餐一般在三到四个小时左右.如果主人又递上咖啡,这就意味着时候不早你该回去了.不过只要你喜欢,咖啡可以使劲喝.
6. “ If the invitation says eight o’clock then we arrive exactly at eight. With friends we know well, we sometimes arrive about fifteen minutes before.”
如果邀请的时间是八点我们一般都是八点准时到.好朋友的话我们一般就会提前一刻钟左右到.
7. “ Obviously it depends on the occasion, but most dinner parties are informal. The men don’t usually wear a suit, but they may wear a jacket and tie. Women are usually smart but casual.”
当然要根据场合而定.但是非正式的宴会居多.男士一般不穿西装而是夹克+领带,女士就更随意了,漂亮大方就行.
