Unindentedstyle/平頭式II.Titlegreetings/稱謂

Mr.和Doctor都是稱呼，翻譯為中文就是先生，醫(yī)生（博士）。也就是說(shuō)Doctor是可以代替Mr.，所以不能說(shuō)Mr.Doctor，這是重復(fù)。在英語(yǔ)國(guó)家Doctor是社會(huì)地位比較高的，因此，很多人有Doctor學(xué)歷的人，博士以上學(xué)歷或者醫(yī)生，會(huì)希望被稱呼為Doctor而不是Mr.

Mr.后面可以跟職銜但不可以跟職業(yè)，比如你可以說(shuō)Mr.Councilor，（議員先生）但不能說(shuō)Mr.Teacher，并且如果在Mr.后面跟了職銜就不能再加姓名了。
