Question

Different countries have different manners(礼貌). For example,a guest in a Chinese house doesn’t finish drink. He usually leaves a little to show that he has had enough. But in England a guest always finishes drink to show that he enjoys it.

“Have you eaten yet?” or “Have you had your lunch?” is a typical Chinese greeting. It is nothing more than a Chinese way of saying “Hello” or “Hi”. But to Americans,the greeting might mean “I haven’t,either. Come on,let’s go together and get something to eat. ” or “If you haven’t,I am just going to invite you to my place. In other words,it could be an invitation to a meal.

When one uses a foreign language,it is important to know the manners and cultures of the nation.
