海外文化:出国禁忌4:脱鞋与否

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！
