别人征求你的意见,问能否开窗户等,你要说“You can do that .”就有点土了,用一句“Do you have the time? ”实际上,问他人的姓名,地址都可以这么用:“May I have you name?“要比”What’s your name ? ”礼貌得多,不过警察例外。

遇到你不懂的问题时可别不懂装懂,“I know”可能是中国人用得最多,而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时,你如果连说两遍“I know”可能是中国人用得最多,而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时,你如果连说两遍“I know”,我敢保证,他不会再跟你说什么了。用“I know ”或“I got it ”就顺耳得多,要是不懂就说“I’m not clear about it .”不过如果你会说“It’s past my understanding”或“It’s beyond me .”你的教师定会惊讶不已的。' I0 Q8 b9 B7 a5 \3 C3 h( u% c

6、美国老师上课时大多慈悲为怀,只要学生开口,无论怎样信口开河或者牛头不对马嘴,老师都会说“Good job!”;“Very nice!”;“Ok, you have a creative answer”;“What an original opinion!”。这既能鼓励学生,又能激发学生参与的积极性。这可是中国老师不妨学学的地方。

7、在英美国家的各种聚会上,女士们常夸赞自己的丈夫有能力,夸赞自己的孩子如何聪明可爱;男士们也常夸赞自己的妻子温柔可人,夸赞自己的老板如何地重用自己,这既能活跃气氛,又能尽显自己人性美的一部分。若有机会你参加外国人的ball(舞会),你也不妨收起你的谦虚,将你的赞美适时适度地表达出来。8 B& x/ A" k5 B
