原文及翻譯
Etiquette is a French word; the original meaning was "little tickets." These tickets were given to people who were attending a public ceremony. Printed on the ticket were instructions about how to behave on this occasion. So, etiquette came to mean the way to behave on public occasions.
Etiquette(禮儀)是一個法語單詞,原意是“小票”。這些票是發(fā)給參加公共儀式的人的。票上印有關(guān)于在這種場合如何舉止的說明。因此,Etiquette開始意味著在公共場合的行為方式。
Etiquette today includes how to introduce people, how to eat properly, how to dress for different occasions, how to speak to different people, and what to do on special occasions. Almost every part of social life can have its particular etiquette.
今天的禮儀包括如何介紹人、如何正確飲食、如何在不同場合著裝、如何與不同的人交談以及在特殊場合該做什么。幾乎社交生活的每個部分都有其特定的禮儀。
Sometimes etiquette changes or seems to change. There was much behavior attached to courtship, such as a man holding the door open for a woman. Nowadays, some people find this outdated.
有時禮儀會改變或似乎會改變。很多行為變得和追求有關(guān),例如男人為女人開門。如今,有些人覺得這已經(jīng)過時了。
