Question

Have you heard of the term “etiquette” And do you know that etiquette is not only a useful word 46 very useful to understand?

Etiquette is not the same in every culture 47 in every situation. For example, standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries. However; if you do this in Europe, some 48 people might feel 49.Even in China, we all know that etiquette is not the same in all situations. Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine, but there are other places where talking loudly is 50 .For example ,most people would agree that talking loudly in a library, a museum, or a movie theater is 51 .Even if you are with your friends, it is better to keep your voice 52 in public places. In fact, we should also 53 not to cough or sneeze loudly in public.

If we see someone 54 the rules of etiquette, we may politely give them some suggestions. Perhaps one of the most polite ways 55 ask someone, Would you mind doing this or Would you mindnot doing that. For example, if someone cuts 56 you in a line, you could ask them, Sorry, would you mind 57 the line? If someone is smoking on the bus you could ask, Excuse me, could you please 58 that cigarette? People don’t usually like 59 , so we have to be careful how we do this.

Although rules of etiquette can often be different, some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world! For example, 60 is almost never allowed. If you see someone you know doing this, you can ask them, Would you mind picking it up?

【解析】短文屬于說明文，介紹了各地不同的禮儀規則，我們要學會遵守這些規則，也要幫助他人遵守。

1.固定搭配not only… but also“不僅……而且”

2.從not可知表示否定，否定句的并列結構用or連接。

3.根據in Europe可知，這里所指的是本地人。

4.根據However，可推測意思轉折，這樣做歐洲不common，因此他們的感覺的用消極的詞匯。

5.前面有but，意思轉折，說明這樣做不好。選擇not allowed“不被允許”。

6.根據上文的交代，下面所舉的例子中大聲說話是不允許的。因此在這些公共場合，大聲說話是“粗魯的”。

7.keep down“壓低,放低(聲音)”，與上文意思銜接，還是指公共場合不大聲說話。

8.因為公共場合需要保持安靜，這里是“盡量不要大聲地咳嗽或打噴嚏”，try not to do…“盡量不要做…”

9.根據后文中的“提醒”，可猜測這里是break the rules“違反規則”；see sb doing…“看到某人正做某事”。

10.one of…做主語，連系動詞用is；做表語的動詞應該用不定式。

11.in front of“在……（外面的）前面”

12.希望對方排隊。join“參加”

13.希望對方把煙熄滅。put out“熄滅”

14.上面的幾個事都是對不守規則的人的“勸告”，也可以說是“批評”“制止”。我們在處理這些事時要小心，語氣一定委婉，因為有時人們不喜歡“被批評”。使用不定式的被動結構。

15.根據后面的“picking it up”，可知有人亂扔東西。dropping litter“丟垃圾”。
