仁爱英语20092010学年度八年级第二学期期末

that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he very often refuses the offer（提供）of food or drink though he wants to have them. This may be good manners in China, but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or make him accept something. They will ask for it. If not, they will say, “ No, thanks.” If an American dislikes the host’s beer, for example, he may say, “No, thanks. I would like other drinks. Coke-cola if you have it.” That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United states, you had better remember the famous saying: when in Rome, do as the Romans (罗马人) do.
