英语翻译
不同的国家和民族,由于不同的历史,文化,宗教等因素,各有特殊的风俗习惯和礼节.同一个手势、动作,在不同的国家里表示不同的意义,比如拇指和食指合成一个圈,其余三个手指向上立起,在美国这表示OK,但在巴西,这是不文明的手势.在中国,我们对某一件事、某一个人表示赞赏,我们会跷起大拇指,真棒!但是在伊朗,这个手势,这个动作是对人的一种侮辱,不能随便使用,你想赞赏伊朗人不能抻大拇指.在我国一般摇头表示不赞同,但在尼泊尔正相反,摇头表示很高兴、很赞同,他一晃脑袋你就知道他很高兴.世界是很大的,风俗习惯是繁多的,要想同他们打交道,就要了解他们.我们中国人要对各国的风俗习惯有所了解,这样才能很好地同他们打交道.各国对数字还有一些忌讳,比如日本人忌讳4字,因为4字与死的读音相似,意味着倒霉和不幸.在日常生活中礼品不送4件,剧场不用4号.天主教徒忌讳十三这个数字.尤其是十三日星期五,遇上这种日子,一般不举行宴请活动.若不注意这些风俗,会使人误认为对他们不尊重或闹出笑话.新到一个国家或初次参加活动,应多了解,多观察,不懂或不会做的事,可仿效别人.

Due to difference in history,culture,religion,etc,there are particular customs and etiquettes in different countries and people.A same gesture or motion means different things in different countries.For example,the thumb and index finger forming a circle with the rest three fingers pointing upwards,in America,it means OK.However in Brazil,it is an impolite gesture.In China,we erect our big thumb to show admiration to something or somebody,but in Iran,the same gesture humiliates people.It can't be easily used.You can erect your thumb to appreciate an Iranian.In our country,we shake our head to disagree,but it is the opposite in Nepal where shaking heads means very happy or in favor of.You know he is very happy if he shakes his head.The world is big with complicated customs.You need to understand them if you want to get along.we Chinese need to have some understanding of customs worldwide to deal with them.In addition,some countries have taboos.For instance,Japanese avoid number four because number Four sounds similar to death,which means bad luck or unfortune.In daily life,no four gifts are given.There is no fourth seat in theater.Christian avoids number thirteen.Especially,there are no parties on days where Thirteen falls on a Friday.If these customs are not paid attention to,it would mislead to disrespect or embarrassment.When visiting a country or attend activities first time,we should do more understanding and observation.We can minic others if we don't know what to do.
