2019英语六级翻译每日一练及译文(1)

中国式礼仪

每种文化都有自己的行为准则，中国也不例外。在中国，跟别人

打招呼时，你或者点个头，或者微微鞠个躬。握手也很常见，但你要

等到中国朋友先伸手才能够。另外，与西方社会的做法截然相反，中

国人不太喜欢被陌生人触碰。所以不要轻易地触碰别人，除非你完全

有这样的必要。最后一点，根据儒家思想 (Confiicianism)的观点，

老人在任何情况下都应该受到年轻人的尊敬。你应该总是以老人为先，并对他们表本的敬意。

翻译：Every culture has its rules on how to act，and China is no different. In China,to greet someone, you nod

your head，or you bow slightly. Handshakes are also common,

but you should wait for your Chinese partner to initiate the motion. In addition，as opposed to those found in Western society，Chinese people do not enjoy being touched by strangers. Don’t touch someone unless you absolutely have

to.Finally, from the perspective of Confucianism, the elders are to be respected in every situation by those who are younger. You should always acknowledge the elders first,and show the most respect to them.
