9.Many years ago,I had my first chance to visit Russia."Russians are a very polite peopIe,"I had been told before my arrival.One of my friends explained that a gentleman will pour the lemonade for the ladies and show other good manners.Toward the end of my three-week trip,I was invited by my Russian friend Nicolai Vasilevich and his wife Yulya out to dinner.At the end of a wonderful meal,Yulya asked if I would like a banana.I politely declined(婉谢) and thanked her,and explained I was most satisfied with the meal.But my mind was racing:"What should I do?Should I offer her a banana though they are as close to her as they are to me?What is the polite thing to do?"
"Would you like a banana?"I asked Yulya.
"Yes,"she smiled,but didn't try to take any of the three bananas in the fruit basket.
"Which one would you like?"I asked again.
"That one,"she pointed at one of the bananas.So thinking about Russian politeness,f picked the banana Yulya had pointed at.Then I peeled it half way and handed it to her.Smiles on Yulya's and Nicolai's faces told me I had done the right thing.Alter this experience,I spent much time letting the world know that in Russia,the polite thing was to peel bananas for ladies.
However,sometime during my third trip i learned I was wrong.
"Oh no,David,"a Russian politely corrected me."In Russia,when a man peels a banana for a lady,it means he has a romantic interest in her."How embarrassed (尴尬) I felt.
So to communicate properly with people of different cultures,we should watch carefully how people of the same culture communicate with each other.Besides,don't be afraid to ask questions about their culture.

分析 许多年前,我第一次有机会访问俄罗斯."俄罗斯人是非常有礼貌的,"在我来之前就知道了.我的一个朋友跟我说,一个绅士会给女士倒柠檬水并且有其他好的举止.
在我三个星期的旅行结束时,我的俄罗斯朋友尼古拉瓦西里耶维奇和他的妻子尤利娅邀请我去吃晚饭.在一顿美妙的晚餐结束时,尤利娅问我是否想要一个香蕉.我礼貌的婉谢她,并说明我非常满意.但我脑海中出现:"我应该做什么?我应该给她一个香蕉吗,尽管香蕉离她和我一样近.我应该有礼貌地做些什么?"
"你喜欢香蕉吗?"我问尤利娅.
"是的,"她笑着说,但并没有试图把水果篮子里的三个香蕉中的任何一个拿去.
"你喜欢哪一个?"我又问.
"那个,"她指着其中一个香蕉.想想俄罗斯的礼仪,我把她指的香蕉拿给了她.然后我把它剥了一半递给她.尤利娅和尼古拉微笑的表情告诉我,我做了正确的事情.这次经历以后,我花了很多时间让世界知道,在俄罗斯,有礼貌的事情是给女士剥香蕉.
然而,在我的第三次旅行中,我发现我错了.
"哦,不,戴维,"一个俄罗斯人礼貌地纠正我."在俄罗斯,当一个男人给一个女人剥香蕉,意味着他对她感兴趣."我感到很尴尬.
因此,要与不同文化的人进行适当的沟通,我们应该仔细观察同一文化的人是如何相互交流的,另外,不要害怕问他们文化问题.
