不同國家的見面禮儀文化

每個國家不同的文化傳統往往會衍生出不同的禮儀習俗，因此每個國家以示友好的見面禮儀也各有千秋。即使人們知道如何噓寒問暖，但在陌生的國度如何大方得體地行見面禮儀卻着實讓人爲難。下面就來看一下不同國家的有什麼不同的見面禮儀文化！

　　美國 THE UNITED STATES

A good ol' handshake will do. Or a fist bump, because they're less germ-y, and because Obama gives us permission.

美國人見面會握手或者碰拳頭，這樣可以減少細菌的傳播，美國總統奧巴馬也很贊同這樣的問候方式。

How To Non-Awkwardly Greet People From Different Countries

意大利、西班牙和大部分歐洲國家 ITALY, SPAIN AND MUCH OF EUROPE

Go for two quick cheek kisses: first on the right, then on the left. And if you don't know someone well, they may settle for a handshake. This is the standard for most places in Europe.

在意大利、西班牙和歐洲大部分國家，兩個人打招呼的方式都是走上前快速地親吻彼此的臉頰：先是右側，然後左側。如果彼此不太瞭解對方，也可以通過握手以示友好。這種打招呼方式在大多數歐洲國家是一種慣例。

　　法國 FRANCE

The bise (yes, it's notorious enough for a name) is complicated: Offer your right cheek as a starting point. The ensuing number of kisses will vary by region, anywhere from one kiss in certain areas to five kisses in huge swaths of the north. Just go with it.

法國的親吻禮儀比較複雜：先親吻對方的右側臉頰，親吻的次數會因爲不同的地區而有所差異，有些地區只吻一下，而在法國北部的大部分地區見面需要親吻五下。注意靈活地隨機應變就好了。

　　德國 GERMANY

The cheek kissremains common here, but you'll usually get only one, on the left. Ever the stoic sort, some Germans have recently called to abolish the kiss, which they say snuck its way into their culturefrom other countries (ahem, France).

親吻面頰在德國很常見,不過通常只是在臉頰左側親吻一下。一些德國斯多葛派人士和部分德國人最近呼籲廢除這一見面習俗,他們認爲親吻面頰是異族文化入侵德國文化的一種表現。

　　英國 THE UK

Fancy folk might go for the kiss, inspired by the fancy European nations which surround them. But unless you want your buddy to "recoil in horror," just stick to a handshake.

英國民間見面親吻的習俗很奇特，靈感可能源於他們周圍的歐洲國家。你也可以堅持只和他握手。

　　荷蘭 THE NETHERLANDS

The norm here is precisely three kisses, always performed right-left-right. Vague acquaintances won't kiss, and neither will two men.

荷蘭的親吻面頰禮儀是要按照臉頰右側-左側-右側的順序親吻三下。關係一般的人之間以及兩個男人之間是不會親吻面頰的。

　　希臘 GREECE

Shake hands for acquaintances, but hug and kiss with someone closer. A two-cheek kiss is almost always accompanied by a back "clap," which can tend to come out more like a well-choreographed slap.

在希臘，熟人間以握手示友好，而親近的人則是通過擁抱和親吻。他們除了親吻彼此臉頰兩下以外，還伴着“拍手”一次，這樣的方式使得他們的親吻看起來更像是精心設計的一記“耳光”。

　　巴西 BRAZIL

Women greet with a kiss more often than men do -- two kisses will get you by in Rio, but the official number can vary from one to three depending on where you are. Single women have been known to toss in a third kiss, even in regions where two is the norm.

巴西女性之間親吻面頰比男性要頻繁得多，如在里約熱內盧兩個人打招呼要吻彼此臉頰兩下，但官方統計的數據顯示在巴西不同的地區親吻臉頰的次數從一次到三次不等。單身女性一般要親吻三次，不過在某些地區，親吻兩次更常見。

　　阿根廷 ARGENTINA

The South Americans are known to be touch-y, even to new acquaintances. Go in for a casual hug (but not a full-on embrace), with a single kiss on the right cheek.

南美人通常很敏感，新朋友之間亦是如此。一般見面就很隨性地擁抱一下(但並不完全擁抱)，然後在對方右側臉頰親吻一下。

　　澳大利亞 AUSTRALIA

A handshake and "G'day" arethe standard for your first meeting, but closer friends might issue one cheek kiss.

澳大利亞人第一次見面通常會握手，然後問候“你好!”但親近的朋友間也許會親吻側面臉頰以示友好。

　　泰國 THAILAND

Press your palms together in a prayer pose, and bow your forehead to touch your fingertips. It's called the wai -- the higher your hands are, the more respect you're showing.

在泰國，人們打招呼通常先雙手合十做祈禱的姿勢，然後弓着額頭觸碰指尖。這在泰國被稱爲“wai”——手的位置越高，表示對對方越尊重。

　　印度 INDIA

People know to shake hands with Westerners, but if you're meeting a local and want to issuea typical greeting, place your palms together in prayer position, tip your head forward (but don't do a full bow), and say "Namaste."

印度人都知道要和西方人握手，但如果遇見的是當地人並想以傳統的方式問候，可以雙手合十做祈禱的姿勢，頭向前傾(但不要鞠躬)，然後說“Namaste”(印度合十禮)。
