Removing Your Shoes…or Not 脱鞋……与否
Where It\'s Offensive: Hawaii, the South Pacific, Korea, China, Thailand.
禁忌地:夏威夷、太平洋群岛、韩国、泰国
What\'s Offensive 禁忌:
Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the hostess will find you uncivilized, but fail to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia, Hawaii, or the Pacific Islands and you\'ll be considered disrespectful. Not only does shoe removal very practically keeps sand and dirt out of the house, it\'s a sign of leaving the outside world behind.
到伦敦人家里参加宴会时脱掉鞋子,女主人会认为你不文明,但去亚洲、夏威夷或太平洋群岛的居民家中不脱鞋却被认为失礼。脱掉鞋子不仅把沙粒与尘土留在了门外,更意味着把外面的世界抛之脑后。
What You Should Do Instead 对策:
If you see a row of shoes at the door, start undoing your laces. If not, keep the shoes on.
如果你在门口看到一排鞋子,就解开自己的鞋带。否则,就穿鞋进去吧!
