  当你穿走门道时,看看你能否为他人扶门。

  20. If you come across a parent, a teacher, or a neighbor workingon something, as if you can help. If they say‘yes",do so -you maylearn something new。

  你父母、老师或邻居在做事情时,若你经过,询问是否可以帮助他们,若他们说“可以”,你去帮助他们- 你很可能学会做新的事情。

  21. When an adult asks you for a favor, do it without grumbling andwith a smile。

  大人请你帮忙时,带着微笑毫无怨言地去做。

  22. When someone helps you, say "thank you". That person willlikely want to help you again. This is especially true withteachers!

  当别人帮助你时,说“谢谢”。帮助你的人会更愿意再帮助你。尤其是对老师而言。

  23. Use eating utensils properly. If you are unsure how to do so,ask your parents to teach you or watch what adults do。

  正确地使用餐具。若不太确信如何使用,问你父母,让他们教你,或观察其他大人是如何使用的

  25. Don't reach for things at the table; ask to have thempassed。

  虽然这些条条框框看起来很琐碎,比如为别人开门,求人帮忙要说请,接受别人帮助要说谢谢,打喷嚏要捂嘴等等,可细想起来却都是我们眼中对欧美人很有礼貌印象的具体体现,看来好习惯不是一天两天养成的,而是从小就开始教育的结果。
