Dos in England在英国的礼貌行为

Acceptable Behavior 合意的行为

1. Do stand in line: 一定要排队

In England we like to form orderly queues (standing in line) and wait patiently for our turn e.g.. boarding a bus. It is usual to queue when required, and expected that you will take your correct turn and not push in front.‘Queue jumping is frowned upon.

2. Do say “Excuse Me”: 当你想让别人给你让路时，一定要说“请原谅我的打扰”

If someone is blocking your way and you would like them to move say excuse me and they will move out of your way.

Pay for drinks as you order them in pubs and other types of bars.

4. Do say “Please” and “Thank-you”: 随时要说“请”和“谢谢”

It is very good manners to say “please” and “thank-you”. It is considered rude if you dont. Whenever You will notice in England that we say ‘thank you a lot.

5. Do cover your Mouth: 当你打呵欠或咳嗽时一定要用手捂上嘴

When yawning or coughing always cover your mouth with your hand.

When you are first introduced to someone, shake their right hands with your own right hand.

If you accidentally bump into someone, say ‘sorry. They probably will too, even if it was your fault! This is a habit and can be seen as very amusing by an outsider.

A smiling face is a welcome face.
