Passage BCultural Differences in Greeting People We can find some cultural and socialdifferences when we hear how people introduce themselves to each other. We should pay attention to these differences. Generally speaking, English people are a little formal. They usually shake hands and say “How do you do” when they meet for the first time. American people are somewhat casual. They may start a conversation without being introduced.

adj. 文化的

adj.社会的

注意 一般而言

第一次

adj.随便的n. 谈话

A Chinese name is hard to pronounce for many foreigners. So you should make it as simple as possible in the introduction. Probably, they will feel pleased to pronounce your name correctly. The form of address does not matter very much to Americans. You may address an American as “Mr. Johnson” or “Tom”. However, you’d better address an elderly person by his or her title.

头衔

adj. 年长的

v. 发音

v.称呼

In the business world, a person of lower social position is usually introduced to a person of higher status. In a business interview, when a person is introduced, he should hold his hat in his hand and stand up.

adj.较低的

n.地位

n. 身份 会见 ,面试
