Social Etiquette 社交礼仪 Social Etiquette 社交礼仪 Finn: Hello. Welcome to another BBC Learning English programme. I’m Finn. Li: And I’m Yang Li. 欢迎收听Ask About Britain. 英国问答节目通过大量的采 访录音来回答同学们提出的各种疑问。 Finn: And today we have a question about social etiquette from Li Jie. Li: Social etiquette 社交礼仪。 Insert My question is about some social etiquette. For example: what do you normally bring to a party as a guest? Who pays when you go out as a group? Li: Li Jie 想了解有关吃饭与请客做客的礼仪。The word etiquette 是个法语词， Finn, how do you spell it? Finn: It’s e-t-i-q-u-e-t-t-e etiquette. So Li, as a British person I take a lot of this for granted. But you know, its something that foreign students should really be aware of as social etiquette can be quite tricky. To take something for granted. Li: To take something for granted 就是理所当然的，或者是想当然的。 Finn: And tricky. Li: Tricky 就是难以处理的。礼仪这东西啊不是总从书本上能学到的。 Finn: And that’s why we’re here to help you, isnt it Li? Li: Thats right. Finn: So let’s hear what some people would normally do on different types of social occasion. Insert I think a lot depends on the level of the relationship. For example, really really good friends I’ve known for a long time, I just want them to turn up. Just come here, bring themselves, have a bit of fun, be relaxed and there’s no need for them to bring anything. And if I’m going to a party and I’m the guest, yes I’ll bring a 1 bottle of wine, or if it is a lady who’s doing the inviting I’ll bring a bunch of flowers. Yes of course if there are children, I’ll bring some chocolate. You can never go wrong with chocolate. Finn: This man said that it all depends on the level of relationship. Li: 这取决于相互之间关系的疏密程度。特别熟悉的好朋友不需要客气，空手来，一 点没问题。 Finn: But if you’re less familiar with the host when you’re invited for dinner then you should bring something. For example, a bottle of wine 一瓶 酒。 Li: Or a bunch of flowers for the hostess 给女主人买上
