Steps
步骤
STEP 1 Greet
1.打招呼
Always greet people with a friendly smile and "Hello" or "How are you?" Men should always stand to greet someone, but women can remain seated, although it is polite to stand.
总是以友好的微笑和“你好”来问候他人 。男人应该站起来问候,女性可以继续坐着,不过站起来更有礼貌 。
Never use informal greetings like "Hey!" or "What's up?" with someone you just met.
不要用非正式的问候语,比如“嘿”或者“最近怎么样”来问候刚刚认识的人 。
STEP 2 Give a good handshake
2.真诚地握手
Use basic handshake rules: stand still, make eye contact, give a firm grip but don't crush, and pump the hand up and down two or three times.
记住基本的握手规则:站好,眼神交流,紧握对方的手,但是不要用力挤压,上下摇动对方的手两三次 。
STEP 3 Introduce
3.介绍
If you are the person who a stranger knows in a roomful of people, introduce them to everyone. If you notice someone you don't know standing alone, don't be afraid to introduce yourself.
如果在满屋子的人里面,新来的陌生人只认识你一个人,把他介绍给每一个人 。如果你注意到有你不认识的人独自站在一旁,不要害怕做自我介绍 。
Repeat the name of a person you have just met to help you remember it. Incorporate it into the conversation, but don't say it over and over.
重复你刚认识的人的名字,帮助你记住 。融入到对话中,但是不要一遍又一遍地说对方的名字 。
STEP 4 Be on time
4.准时
Be on time. There is no reason to be late for a meeting, especially if you helped to schedule it.
准时 。聚会没有任何迟到的理由,尤其是如果你帮助安排了时间的话 。
STEP 5 Keep conversation light
5.保持对话轻快
Keep conversation light in mixed company. No one wants to discuss their personal finances with someone they just met, so don't bring it up.Avoid religion and politics as well.
保持对话轻快 。没有人想要和刚认识的人讨论经济问题,所以不要提及这一点 。也不要讨论宗教和政治问题 。
Never use profanity with company or in public. You never know who might get offended.
不要跟同伴或者在公共场合下使用亵渎的语言 。你永远不知道谁会受到冒犯 。
STEP 6 Express gratitude
6.表达感激
Express your gratitude often. Saying "please" and "thank you" when someone is doing something for you makes them want to help you out again.
经常表达你的感激之情 。当某人为你做了什么事的时候,要用“请”和“谢谢”等礼貌语,这会让他们想要再次帮助你 。
STEP 7 Don't groom
7.和别人说话时不要打扮
Don't do any nail-biting, scratching, picking, or combing when you are with company. This may be unappealing to others and should be done in a bathroom or when you get home.
当你和同伴在一起的时候,不要咬指甲,抓痒,拿东西或者梳头等 。这会让你在他人眼中没有吸引力 。这些应该在卫生间或者回家之后进行 。
STEP 8 Maintain eye contact
8.保持眼神交流
Maintain eye contact, but don't stare. It is polite and expected to keep eye contact with someone who you are speaking to, but not someone who is changing in a gym locker room. Use discretion when looking at someone for a long period of time -- people will appreciate your manners.
保持眼神交流,但是不要瞪别人 。跟说话的人保持眼神交流是礼貌,但是盯着在健身馆更衣室换衣服的人就不对了 。长时间看着某人时要谨慎——人们会欣赏你的礼貌 。
The "thumbs up" gesture is considered obscene in the Middle East.
在中东地区,“竖起大拇指”的动作被认为是下流的 。
