★34. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. This is what this old proverb says. So, we should respect and try to adapt to the new culture of the country we are visiting.( 文化差异) There is no denying that we should do as the Romans do when in Rome. It is practical advice when we are facing the cultural difference. As far as I am concerned, I have had the experience myself. Last year, my good friend, Jerry and I went to the U.S. to travel. One day we were lost and it seemed that we would never find our way back to our hotel. Suddenly an elderly lady came near us. Excited and trying to be polite, Jerry approached her and asked, Excuse me, how old are you? This polite opening remark in Chinese culture made the lady stare at him in surprise, because age is a taboo in Western cultures. Seeing the embarrassment, I asked, Beautiful weather, isn’t it? Of course the lady said Yes and happily told us the way to our hotel. A lesson that can be drawn from the above example is obvious. Whether we know the local customs will play a crucial role in our relationship with others. More importantly, doing everything as the locals do will help us make more friends and avoid troubles. ▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█▉▊▋▌精诚凝聚 =^_^= 成就梦想 ▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█▉▊▋▌ ▃ ▄ ▅ ▆ ▇ █ █ ■ ▓点亮心灯 ~~~///(^v^)\\\~~~ 照亮人生 ▃ ▄ ▅ ▆ ▇ █ █ ■ ▓ 高考学习网： 高考学习网：
