1、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(xí)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.concerningthelift關(guān)于搭車IntheU.S.A,ifyouwanttoaskforalift,you’dbettergiveasecondthought,especiallyladies.Wecanseethatwiththeworseningsocialsecurity,therearemanycrimesconnecti

3、occurintoday’ssociety.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(guān)。如果別人要搭你的車,最好的是給他點錢,而不是搭載。2.Nevercalltheblackpeople“Negro”不要用“negro”稱呼黑人Negro,inEnglish,means“apersonwithdarkskinwhocomesfromAfrica(orwhoseancestorscamefromAfrica)”,sowhenyouaretalkingwitht

6、isinformal.在中文的解釋中,IamsorryandExcuseme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(dāng)時美國總統(tǒng)道歉時用Iamsorry的事情,你就知道了區(qū)別,但是Iamsorry是一個非正式場合用語。4.Modestisnotavirtue謙虛不是一種美德Inournation,wecherish“modest”agreatvalue,butwhenyouareinthe

8、aninsincereperson.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(jīng)不錯了。呵呵。5.Concerningthesolution路上打招呼Inthemorning,whenyouarewalkingorgo
