□語篇導(dǎo)讀

常言道，入鄉(xiāng)隨俗。其實，這句話除了可用于國內(nèi)，在國外旅游時也是適用的。由于各國間的文化差異很大，因此會存在許多不一樣的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣。如果外國人到了中國，觸犯了我們的禁忌，大家都會不高興。我們?nèi)テ渌麌衣糜螘r也是如此。因此，假如你是一位國際旅行者，必須要提前了解所到國家的一些風(fēng)俗。

Different countries have different customs.When you travel to other countries,please follow their customs,just as the saying goes, “When in Rome,do as the Romans do.”

Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip （付小費）.It is usual to tip porters （搬運工）who help carry your bags,taxi drivers and waiters.Waiters expect to get a 15%tip on the cost of your meal.Taxi drivers expect about the same amount（數(shù)額）.

In England,make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you.It’s important to respect （尊重）lines there.It’s a good idea to talk about the weather.It’s a favorite subject of conversation with the British.

In Spain,it’s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner.People have dinner very late,and restaurants do not generally（一般地）open until after 9 p.m.In Arab countries,men kiss one another on the cheek （臉頰）.Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks.It is polite for you to do the same.

In Japan,people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time.When a person gives you a card,don’t put it into your pocket right away.The person expects you to read it.

Don’t forget to be careful of your body language to express something in conversation.A kind of body language that is acceptable （可接受的）in one culture may be impolite in another.

◆典句賞析

1.It is usual to tip porters（搬運工）who help carry your bags,taxi drivers and waiters.給那些幫你提包的搬運工、出租車司機和服務(wù)員付小費是很平常的事兒。

這是一個主從復(fù)合句。it是形式主語，代替動詞不定式短語to tip...；句子“who help carry your bags”是關(guān)系代詞who引導(dǎo)的定語從句，修飾先行詞porters。carry是省去to的動詞不定式，動詞help后的動詞不定式可以帶to，也可以不帶to。

2.In England,make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you.在英國，即使只有你們兩個人，也要站成一排。

該句是主從復(fù)合句。主句是祈使句；even if作為連詞，意為“即使，縱然，就算，哪怕”，引導(dǎo)表示把握不大或假設(shè)性的狀語從句。

3.When a person gives you a card,don’t put it into your pocket right away.當一個人遞給你卡片時，不要立刻將其放到口袋里。

這是含when引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句的復(fù)合句，主句是don’t開頭的否定祈使句。put...into...意為“將……放進……”，into之后接名詞或代詞。right away作副詞，意為“馬上，立刻”，作狀語，相當于at once。
