參考譯文:
參加一個(gè)聚會(huì)如果遲到15到20分鐘是不禮貌的。男主人或女主人往往是等所有的客人都到齊了才招待飯菜的。假如某一個(gè)人遲到了,食物可能就會(huì)煮爛了,主人的熱情也會(huì)變得低落。如果你有事需要晚到,你應(yīng)該打電話告訴他們請(qǐng)他們先開(kāi)始晚宴。參加聚會(huì)提前到場(chǎng)更是不好!主人可能還沒(méi)有準(zhǔn)備好。如果你早到了,你可以開(kāi)車(chē)或逛逛周?chē)?,或是坐在你?chē)?yán)锏龋钡綍r(shí)間到了。盡管通常來(lái)說(shuō)準(zhǔn)時(shí)到達(dá)是很重要的,但是另一方面,在一個(gè)公開(kāi)場(chǎng)合的聚會(huì),主人會(huì)邀請(qǐng)客人們只要在一定的時(shí)間內(nèi)到達(dá)或離開(kāi)就行。所以客人們可以在主人規(guī)定的時(shí)間內(nèi)到達(dá)。
空著肚子來(lái)很好,但是帶一個(gè)小禮物來(lái)會(huì)更好。這個(gè)禮物不應(yīng)該很貴,要不然你會(huì)讓主人們很尷尬。帶一束花、一瓶酒或是一盒糖果都很好。
千萬(wàn)別帶錢(qián)作為禮物。介紹時(shí),注意名字的順序,首先是名,然后是姓。換句話說(shuō),名要先說(shuō)。不僅僅記住別人的名字,在聊天時(shí)常常提起別人的名字也是很重要的。介紹后,我們一般都稱呼朋友名。那些有年紀(jì)的人可能更希望別人稱呼他們的稱號(hào)或頭銜,例如,“瓊先生”、“史密斯夫人”、“約翰遜女士”或是“布朗博士”。
女士的名字一般是她們出生時(shí)的姓。在美國(guó)和加拿大,女人結(jié)婚后,她要跟隨丈夫家的姓。但是有的女性結(jié)婚后仍然保持自己的姓,這種事現(xiàn)在很普遍。
