教你做個(gè)禮貌的旅行者

If youve done any traveling at all， youre likely quite aware that customs and etiquette differ from one culture to another： what may be perfectly innocuous in one place may be hideously offensive in another， and vice-versa.

Heres how to be polite in 6 different countries.

如果你出國(guó)旅行過(guò)，你很可能會(huì)意識(shí)到各國(guó)文化之間的風(fēng)俗和禮儀差異很大：在這個(gè)國(guó)家這種風(fēng)俗禮儀無(wú)傷大雅但在另一個(gè)國(guó)家卻顯得冒犯之極，反之亦然。

下文是關(guān)于如何在6個(gè)國(guó)家做一名有禮貌懂禮節(jié)的旅行者的注意事項(xiàng)。

1. Sweden

瑞典

Keep personal distance and dont touch people when you talk to them. Ensure proper table manners. Never discuss religion or politics， and try to maintain a level of quiet dignity. Silences during conversations are not considered uncomfortable， and its better to be a bit quiet， rather than overly verbose. When dining out， dont drink before the host offers a toast， and dont get drunk.

和別人說(shuō)話時(shí)，要保持一定的距離，不要碰到對(duì)方。注意正確的餐桌禮儀，不要談?wù)撟诮袒蛘卧掝}，并盡量做到不卑不亢。在談話中保持沉默并不會(huì)讓人產(chǎn)生不舒服的感覺(jué)，適當(dāng)?shù)陌察o反倒比太過(guò)啰嗦好。外出就餐時(shí)，不要在主人致祝酒辭前喝酒，并且不要喝醉。

2. Mexico

墨西哥

When meeting others， women should initiate handshakes with men， but all people should avoid making too much eye contact； that can be seen as aggressive and belligerent behavior. If sharing a meal with others， keep your elbows off the table and try to avoid burping at all costs. Keep your hands off your hips， and make sure you never make the “okay” sign with your hand： its vulgar.

男女見(jiàn)面時(shí)，女人應(yīng)該主動(dòng)與男人握手，但不要有太多的目光接觸，那會(huì)被看作是具有攻擊性的好戰(zhàn)行為。如果與別人一起吃飯，不要把你的手肘放在桌子上，無(wú)論如何不要打嗝。不要把手放在臀部上，而且不要做“OK”的手勢(shì)，這個(gè)手勢(shì)粗俗之極。

3. Germany

德國(guó)

Much like Scandinavian people， Germans tend to be reserved and polite. Ensure that handshakes are firm， and always address people with Mr or Mrs followed by their surname （“Herr” or “Frau” if youre confident that youll pronounce them well）. Decent table manners are of great importance， and be sure to say “please” and “thank you” often.

德國(guó)人和斯堪的納維亞人一樣都傾向于保守和禮貌。握手時(shí)要牢牢握緊，在姓前加上先生或太太的稱(chēng)呼（如果你對(duì)自己的德語(yǔ)發(fā)音有自信的話，要用德語(yǔ)稱(chēng)呼“先生”或“夫人”）。良好的餐桌禮儀非常重要，“請(qǐng)”和“謝謝”一定要常掛嘴邊。

4. Japan

日本

When dealing with Japanese clients， be sure to dress fairly conservatively， and make sure that you bow lower than they do upon meeting them. Accept gifts with both hands （and open them later， not in front of the giver）， and never blow your nose at the dining table. Avoid asking and answering direct questions： its better to imply rather than ask， and to answer with vagueness during conversations.

與日本客戶打交道時(shí)，穿著一定要保守，并且在見(jiàn)面鞠躬時(shí)，你的身子要低于對(duì)方的身子。用雙手接禮物（不要當(dāng)面就打開(kāi)禮物，回頭再拆開(kāi)禮物），不要在餐桌上擤鼻涕。不要提和回答很直接的問(wèn)題：暗示性地問(wèn)問(wèn)題的方式比直接發(fā)問(wèn)的方式好，回答時(shí)最好能含糊地回答。

5. Korea

韓國(guó)

Dont be offended if a Korean woman merely nods instead of offering her hand to shake， and dont extend yours to her. Never touch a Korean person while talking to them （unless youre on very friendly terms）， and maintain a respectable distance： personal space is rather vital. Try to avoid talking too much during meals， and offer to pay even if you know that the other party is treating you.

如果一個(gè)韓國(guó)女人只是向你點(diǎn)了點(diǎn)頭而不和你握手，不要生氣，也不要主動(dòng)伸出手去。和韓國(guó)人說(shuō)話時(shí)不要有肢體接觸（除非你們的關(guān)系非常好），并保持一段距離以示尊重：個(gè)人空間相當(dāng)重要。就餐時(shí)盡量不要說(shuō)太多話，并且即使你知道是對(duì)方請(qǐng)你吃飯，你也要搶著付錢(qián)。

6. France

法國(guó)

Be sure to say “please” and “thank you” often， and always thank people for their time. If you need help at a shop， apologize to the staff for bothering them with a question， and be sure to thank them before you leave. Make sure that you chew with your mouth closed during meals， dont speak when your mouth is full， and for goodness sake， dont slurp anything！

一定要多說(shuō)“請(qǐng)”和“謝謝”，而且要對(duì)占用別人的時(shí)間表示感謝。如果你在商店需要幫助，因問(wèn)問(wèn)題而打擾到店員要向店員表示歉意，在你離開(kāi)之前一定要感謝店員的幫忙。在咀嚼食物時(shí)要閉著嘴，不要含著滿口食物說(shuō)話，拜托，吃東西時(shí)一定不要弄出聲！
