题组二

A book on etiquette(

礼节

)explained the proper behavior Americans should follow in many different social

situations. But in modern society, it is not enough to simply know the proper rules for behavior in your own country.

International travel for work and pleasure is becoming increasingly popular, which makes it necessary for people to

understand the rules of etiquette in other cultures as well.

Take, for example, the etiquette required in giving and receiving gifts. Cultural differences may appear even in

such simple processes. In Western cultures, a gift can be handed over to the receiver with relatively little ceremony.

When a gift is offered

，

the receiver typically takes the gift while expressing his or her thanks. However, in some

Asian cultures

，

the act of giving is an important aspect of gift- giving

，

and this process may appear confusing or

frustrating to Westerners. In Chinese culture, a receiver will typically refuse to accept the gift at first, with the

understanding between the giver and receiver that after being turned down several times, the gift will finally be

accepted. In addition, to show respect for the receiver, it is customary in several Asian cultures to use two hands

when offering a gift to another person.

After receiving a gift, tradition may demand that the person open the gift right away or, alternatively, wait

before opening the gift. In many Western cultures, etiquette requires the receiver to open the gift immediately and

show appreciation for the thoughtfulness of the giver. In Asian cultures, on the other hand, the gift may be accepted

with appreciation and then set aside to be opened later. The gift will then be opened in private in order not to show

their greed or impatience.

Another tip for cross-cultural gift- giving relates to wrapping presents, especially in choosing the color of paper

used to wrap a gift. In Japan, for example, white or very bright colors are traditionally not good choices for

wrapping a gift. In Japanese culture, white is the color associated with mourning and bright colors may be

considered by some people to be vulgar(

庸俗的

). Plain white and black are also to be avoided when wrapping

presents in China, because of the relation of these colors to funerals(

葬礼

). Joyful colors such as red, yellow, and

pink are preferred in Chinese culture. In contrast, Europeans seem to prefer softer colors for wrapping presents. A

good rule of thumb for wrapping gifts, especially for business travelers, is to travel with unwrapped gifts, and then

wrap the gift with paper bought in the country where the gift will be given

．

Finally, when choosing the appropriate gift to give, a good rule to bear

in minds is the following: “Never give

vodka to Russians, chocolate to Belgians, or beer to Germans.” It is better to travel with quality gifts from one’

s

own region or culture. These increase the chances of being appreciated in other cultures because of their unique

nature.
