原文及翻譯
Etiquette can help things to go a lot smoother. Manners vary from culture to culture, but the intention is the same: to treat people with consideration. This is a way to reduce conflict. Sometimes we can understand where these customs come from.
禮儀可以讓事情進展得更順利。不同文化的禮儀各不相同,但目的是一樣的:體貼待人。這是一種減少沖突的方法。有時我們可以理解這些習俗的來源。
Originally, shaking hands with your right hand probably meant that you weren't carrying a weapon. Taking off your hat may originally have been taking off your helmet, which meant that you weren't going to fight. Nowadays, there are new areas of social life.
最初,用右手握手可能意味著你沒有攜帶武器。脫下帽子最初可能意味著脫下頭盔,這意味著你不會打架。如今,社交生活有了新的領域。
For example, a lot of conversation now takes place on the telephone. Perhaps because there is no traditional telephone etiquette, some people feel free to be rude. Try to treat the person on the phone just the way you would treat them if you were actually talking to them.
例如,現(xiàn)在很多談話都是在電話上進行的。也許是因為沒有傳統(tǒng)的電話禮儀,有些人覺得可以隨意粗魯。試著像你真的在和他們說話一樣對待電話里的人。
Most people feel it is rude to interrupt a conversation, but many people seem to think that it is okay to interrupt someone talking on the phone. Children especially need to be taught not to interrupt.
大多數(shù)人覺得打斷談話是不禮貌的,但很多人似乎認為打斷別人打電話是可以的。孩子們尤其需要被教導不要打斷別人的話。
