美國互惠生需要注意的社交禮儀.doc

美國互惠生需要注意的社交禮儀作為一個美國互惠生，來到美國后，就要熟悉美國的生活習慣和社交禮儀，融入到美國人的日常生活中，而知曉美國的社交禮儀可以使初來乍到的互惠生免于不必要的尷尬。1.concerning the lift 關于搭車In the U.S.A, if you want to ask for a lift, youd better give a second thought, especially ladies. We can see that with the worsening social security, there are many crimes connecting with the lifting. And also, if you are asking to give a lift when you are driving, the best way is to give him some money and then leave. Some people may say that we watched a lot of movies and in the movie lifting is a very common phenomenon and people ate likely to offer the help. The case is those situations are hardly to occur in todays society.在美國，如果你要搭別人的車，一定要注意安全。其實各國的社會治安都有不安全的因素，有很多的案子都與搭車有關。如果別人要搭你的車，最好的是給他點錢，而不是搭載。2.Never call the black people “Negro”不要用“negro”稱呼黑人Negro , in English, means “a person with dark skin who comes from Africa (or whose ancestors came from Africa)”，so when you are talking with the Americans( white people as well as black people), do not address them Negro, just use the word black , or you may be charged of discrimination.Negro是指從非洲作為奴隸運來的黑人。使用該詞容易被人認為你有種族歧視，所以不管跟黑人還是白人交談，一定別用這個詞，用black 就好。3.Be careful the phrase “I am sorry”甚用 “I am sorry”I am sorry and Excuse me in Chinese mean 抱歉，對不起。But in English, they have quite different meanings. I am sorry means you made a mistake and hurt others feeling. Excuse me means you want to interrupt or you want others attention. So if you still remember, when the USAs president apology to our nation, in his speech, he used” Im sorry” , which, obviously, is informal.在中文的解釋中，I am sorry and Excuse me 都有抱歉，對不起的含義。但是在英語中，這兩個詞的含義其實有很大不同的。前者意味著你犯了錯誤或者作出了對別人利益有損的行為。后者含義是你要打斷別人或需要別人幫忙。如果大家還記得當時美國總統道歉時用I am sorry的事情，你就知道了區(qū)別，但是I am sorry 是一個非正式場合用語。4.Modest is not a virtue謙虛不是一種美德In our nation, we cherish “modest” a great value, but when you are in the USA, you should never be too modest because in American，if you are too modest, you will be wrongly treated as “Insincere or hypocritical”. Most of the Chinese students in the America are likely to say that my English is poor but actually they can speak pretty good English, so there are possibilities to be regarded as an insincere person.在中國，謙虛是一種讓人進步的美德。但是美國是一個鼓勵個性的國度。如果你過于謙虛，就會被冠以虛偽的帽子。比如，我們愿意說我的英語說得不好，其實已經不錯了。呵呵。5. Concerning the solution 路上打招呼In the morning, when you are walking or goggling along the sidewalk, people who you meet will say “good morning” to you and make sure that you say the same thing to them. Sometimes, students will be too shy to say nothing. When you are in the elevators or other places, people are usually use their eyesight to say hi or hello to you, you can just do the same thing or you can just say hi or hello. Do not pretend that you do not see them because it shows a defiant manner.美國人早晨愿意晨練，所以在路上即使遇到陌生人，他們也會說“good morning”。這時候的你一定不要害羞，直接回應“goodmorning”就好。你的不理不睬是沒有禮貌的表現。6Do not ignore the kids 去做客時，不要忽略孩子Children in the states are expecting to be treated the same manners as their parents. Usually, when you are visiting the family, the parents as well as their kids will welcome you , so when you say hello to the parents, make sure you also hello the kids or their parents and the kids themselves will feel unhappy.you can shake their hands or kisss their faces.美國人講究大人、孩子一律平等。到美國人家中作客，他們的孩子也一定出來見客，打個招呼。這時，千萬不要只顧大人冷落了孩子。那樣勢必使他們的父母不愉快。 跟小孩子打招呼，可以握握手或親親臉，如果小孩子親了你的險，你也一定要親親他的臉。7You can not dance with your gender同性不能一起跳舞This is rega
