每種文化都有獨(dú)特的禮儀文化，這使游客們經(jīng)常無法意識(shí)到自己觸犯了禁忌。無論你到哪里旅行—你絕不能對當(dāng)?shù)厝俗鰺o禮的事情特別是無視他們的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣。下面是一些在日本，法國，俄國和印度的禁忌事項(xiàng)。

　　Japan

　　No tipping. Tipping your servers in Japan will just confuse them.

　　Escalators have one side for standing and one side for passing. Make sure you’re on the correct side. But keep an eye on what people are doing since in some cities you stand on the left, and in other cities you stand on the right.

　　Don’t walk around while you eat. This is just not acceptable in Japan.

　　日本

　　沒有小費(fèi)。在日本給服務(wù)生小費(fèi)會(huì)讓他們無法理解。

　　扶梯的一側(cè)用來站立另一側(cè)用來通行。請確定你在正確的一邊。但也要注意其他人的做法因?yàn)橛行┏鞘心阈枰驹谧髠?cè)而另一些城市是右側(cè)。

　　吃東西的時(shí)候不要四處走動(dòng)。這在日本也是不可接受的。

　　France

　　Parlez français. Don’t expect to get by with English in France. The French have great pride in their language, and are somewhat resentful of its decline on the world stage. They don’t appreciate switching from French to another language at home.

　　Avoid talking about money issues. The French have a strong distaste for discussing financial matters openly. You’ll put people in an uncomfortable spot to talk about how much they make or spent on something.

　　Don’t rush while you eat. If you eat your food quickly, people will assume that you are a slob. The French take great pride in their cuisine, so savor what you eat. French lunches are known to last three hours long!

　　法國

　　說法語。不要期待在法國可以用英語來應(yīng)付。法國人對自己的語言感到無比自豪，對它在世界舞臺(tái)上的沒落有些心懷不滿。他們不喜歡在自己的祖國使用另一種語言。

　　不要討論錢的話題。法國人很討厭公開討論資金問題。討論他們的收入和花銷會(huì)讓人們感到很不自在。

　　不要狼吞虎咽。如果你吃飯很快，人們會(huì)覺得你很粗俗。

　　法國人對自己的美食也非常引以為傲，所以要享受你的飯菜。持續(xù)三小時(shí)的法國午餐也為人們所熟知。

　　Russia

　　Leave home without it: you probably won’t find that many places where your credit card will be accepted. Cash is king.

　　Avoid making casual political criticisms. Russians view these kind of statements from tourists as personal insults, as if you consider them personally at fault for these problems, and not the government.

　　Don’t go with the flow. If a situation arises and you’re not sure what is going on, try to ask someone. If you keep quiet, people will assume you understand what’s happening and won’t go out of their way to help you.

　　If you bring someone flowers, make sure the bouquet has an odd number of flowers in it. Even numbered bouquets are reserved for funerals. A dozen roses would creep Russians out.

　　俄國

　　不用帶信用卡。你很可能找不到幾個(gè)可以刷卡的地方，現(xiàn)金是王道。

　　不要隨便評(píng)論政治。俄國人把游客的這種言論看做是個(gè)人攻擊，盡管只是你個(gè)人認(rèn)為這些問題本身不對，而不是政府的錯(cuò)。

　　不要隨波逐流。如果有情況發(fā)生而你并不清楚怎么回事，嘗試去問別人。如果你保持沉默，別人會(huì)認(rèn)為你理解正在發(fā)生的事情就不會(huì)竭力去幫助你。

　　如果你送花給別人，請確認(rèn)花束里的花有奇數(shù)朵。即使花束是為葬禮準(zhǔn)備的，12朵玫瑰也會(huì)嚇到俄國人。

　　India

　　Do not complain about the food. It is insulting to your host. Don’t eat something you don’t want to eat, but don’t offend the people who served it to you.

　　No public kissing. This can even result in jail time.

　　People usually don’t socialize while eating in India, and may take offense to being interrupted while they eat.

　　印度

　　不要抱怨食物。這是對主人的侮辱。不要吃不想吃的東西，但也不要冒犯招待你的人。

　　不要在公共場合接吻。這甚至有可能讓你坐牢。

　　人們通常不在吃飯的時(shí)候進(jìn)行交談，打斷他們吃飯可能是很無禮的行為。
