在北京，紅色的告示牌告訴人們不要握手，而是拱手以示問候。

France 法國

Newspapers have been filled with advice over how to replace handshaking – a daily formality for the French at work and kissing on the cheek, a regular greeting habit in France even between people who have only just met.

關于如何取代握手和貼面，法國的報紙上有多種建議。在法國，握手是職場的日常禮節(jié)，親吻臉頰是一種常規(guī)的問候習慣，即使是在初識的人們之間也是如此。

Lifestyle expert Philippe Lichtfus, who has been widely cited in the media, insists that handshakes are a relatively recent development in human history that began in the Middle Ages.

被媒體廣泛引用的生活方式專家菲利普·利希特弗斯堅持認為，在人類歷史上，握手是相對較晚才發(fā)展起來的問候形式，始于中世紀。

He says simply looking into a person’s eyes can suffice as a greeting.

他說，(疫情期間)只要看看對方的眼睛就足以表示問候。

Australia 澳大利亞

Brad Hazzard, the New South Wales health minister, advised people not to shake hands and instead give each other a pat on the back. “I won’t say don’t kiss” he said, “but you could be exercising a degree of care and caution with whom you choose to kiss.”

新南威爾士州衛(wèi)生部長布拉德·哈扎德建議人們不要握手，而是互相拍拍對方的背。他說：“我不會說‘不要親吻’，但你可以在一定程度上小心謹慎地選擇與誰親吻。”

Brazil 巴西

The Brazilian health ministry has recommended that citizens not share the metal straws traditionally used to consume the caffeine-rich South American drink mate, also known as chimarrão.

巴西衛(wèi)生部建議市民不要共用傳統(tǒng)的金屬吸管來飲用富含咖啡因的南美飲品，也就是馬黛茶。
