Cultural Notes to Giving Gifts
送禮的文化背景
Just like Chinese, Westerners give gifts on many occasions, such as ,on birthdays of good friends, at weddings, at Christmas and some other holidays,
正象中國(guó)人一樣,西方人在許多場(chǎng)合下也贈(zèng)送禮物,比如,好朋友的生日、結(jié)婚慶典、圣誕節(jié)以及一些其它節(jié)日,
when someone achieves an honor or gets a promotion, and on a farewell visit to a good friend,etc...
當(dāng)某人獲得榮譽(yù)或得到提升時(shí),告別朋友時(shí)等等。
Although gifts are always welcome , it is not necessary to exchange gifts all the time.
盡管禮物總是受歡迎的,但不是在什么時(shí)候都要相互交換禮物。
Generally speaking, Westerners exchange gifts only among good friends, therefore ,it's inappropriate to give gifts to casual acquaintance.
總地說來,西方人只是在好朋友之間才交換禮物,因此,給一些泛泛之交的人贈(zèng)送禮物是不合適的。
Even if you are good friends, if you give them too many gifts, they will feel uncomfortable too, because they don't know how to reciprocate.
即使你們是好朋友,如果你送的禮物太多,他們也會(huì)感到不自在的,因?yàn)樗麄儾恢廊绾位囟Y才好。
Usually when you are invited to dinner ,it is absolutely unnecessary to bring a gift except on special occasions, for example when you are going to be an overnight or weekend guest.
通常當(dāng)你應(yīng)邀去參加宴會(huì)時(shí),你完全沒有必要帶禮物,但除了一些特殊場(chǎng)合,比如,如果你要在朋友那兒過夜或度周末時(shí)。
If you wish to bring something, in most cases, the gifts should always be small, simple and inexpensive.
如果你想帶禮物,通常應(yīng)該是一些簡(jiǎn)單便宜的小禮物。
You might bring some sweets, or some small toys for the children or a book,some flowers, a bottle of wine etc, for the host or the hostess.
你可以給孩子帶些糖果、小玩具等,或者給男女主人帶一本書、一些花、一瓶酒等。
If you like ,you can wrap the gifts ,but wrapping is not always necessary.
如果你喜歡,你可以把禮物包起來,但不一定必要。
If you want to make your gifts special, you can bring some typical Chinese goods, such as, Chinese tea, Chinese book markers,
如果你想讓你的禮物比較特別,你可以帶一些典型的中國(guó)貨,比如說,中國(guó)茶、中國(guó)書簽、
Chinese papercuts, Chinese paintings, or other things like that ,or even you can cook a Chinese dish and bring it with you.
中國(guó)剪紙、中國(guó)畫等諸如此類的東西,或者你可以做一道中國(guó)菜帶上。
Westerners prefer to open a gift at once and admire it.
西方人喜歡立即打開禮物欣賞它。
They would thank you and make some comment about the gift's beauty or practiality, so that you know your gift is highly appreciated.
他們會(huì)謝謝你,并贊賞禮物的漂亮和實(shí)用,這樣你就知道你的禮物倍受青睞。
Westerners value homemade things.
西方人崇尚自已做的東西。
When they ask you whether the gift is homemade ,in fact they are flattering you.
當(dāng)他們問你這禮物是否是你自已所做時(shí),事實(shí)上,他們是在恭維你。
They are trying to tell you that you are skillful and talented enough to make it.
他們是想告訴你,你非常靈巧能干,能做出這個(gè)禮物。
