出国禁忌4:脱鞋与否

Removing Your Shoes…or Not 脱鞋……与否 Where It's Offensive: Hawaii, the South Pacific, Korea, China, Thailand. 禁忌地：夏威夷、太平洋群岛、韩国、泰国 What's Offensive 禁忌: Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the hostess will find you uncivilized, but fail to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia, Hawaii, or the Pacific Islands and you'll be considered disrespectful. Not only does shoe removal very practically keeps sand and dirt out of the house, it's a sign of leaving the outside world behind. 到伦敦人家里参加宴会时脱掉鞋子，女主人会认为你不文明，但去亚洲、夏威夷或太平洋群岛的居民家中不脱鞋却被认为失礼。脱掉鞋子不仅把沙粒与尘土留在了门外，更意味着把外面的世界抛之脑后。 What You Should Do Instead 对策: If you see a row of shoes at the door, start undoing your laces. If not, keep the shoes on. 如果你在门口看到一排鞋子，就解开自己的鞋带。否则，就穿鞋进去吧！ 文曲星开心英语学习会所http://www.kaixinabc.com
