Every Chinese-language textbook starts out with the standard phrases for greeting people, but as an American, I always found myself 1 to speak freely when it came to seeing guests off at the door. Just a good-bye would not do, yet that was all I had ever learned from the 2 books. So I would smile and nod, bowing like a Japanese and searching madly for words that would 3 over the visitor's leaving and make them feel they would be 4 to come again. In my unease, I often hid behind the skirts of my Chinese husband's kindness.
Then finally, listening to others, I began to pick up the phrases that 5 relationships and sent people off not only successfully but also skillfully.
6 for the Chinese includes a lot of necessary habitual practice. Although as a 7 , I'm not expected to observe or even know all the rules, I've had to learn the expressions of politeness and 8 at a leaving-taking.
The Chinese feel they 9 see a guest off to the farthest possible point--down the flight of stairs to the street below or perhaps all the way to the 10 bus stop. I've sometimes waited half an hour or more for my husband to return from seeing a guest off, 11 he's gone to the bus stop and waited for the 12 bus to arrive.
That's very well, but when I'm the guest being seen off, my protests are always 13 My hostess or host, or both, insists on 14 me down the stairs and well on my way, with my repeating the“Don't 15 to see me off at the every landing” . If I try to go fast to 16 them from following, they are simply out to the discomfort of having to run after me. Better to accept the inevitable(不可避免的).
Besides, that's going against Chinese 17 ,because haste (doing things quickly) is to be avoided. What do you say when you 18 someone? Not“Farewell or Godspeed(祝福)” , 19 “Go slowly” .To the Chinese it means“Take care”or“Watch your 20 ”,or some such caution(谨慎), but translated literally(字面意思)it means“Go slowly”.

(1) C ;每一本中文教科书都以标准的词语来教我去问候他人,但作一个美国人,我却发现我不能流畅地说出送别时用的语言来。这里不能用difficult,因为这里的逻辑主语是myself,不能说“我很困难”,而是“事情很难”。(2) B ;我所学到的东西实在无法在实际交往中运用,因此从作者的角度来说,这些教科书应该是“糟糕、可怕的”。(3) A ;smooth over意思是“消除,掩饰”,这里指“消除客人离去时的尴尬”。(4) C ;千方百计地使客人感到我是欢迎他们再来拜访的,所以用welcome最为合适。(5) D ;我听从别人的建议,学习了能够“润滑”人际关系的词语。ease意思是“使悠闲、放松”。(6) A (7) D ;作为一个“外国人”,人们并不强求我必须知道中国的这些礼仪。(8) A ;这里protest可以理解为“婉言拒绝”。另外,下文也用了该词。(9) D ;中国人认为他们应该把客人送得尽可能远。(10) B (11) D ;我有时候不得不花半个多小时等丈夫回来,因为他把客人送到车站,然后再等下一班公交车到来。since在这里表示原因。(12) C (13) C ;但是,当我去做客,主人送别我时,我的辞送往往不起作用。(14) B (15) A ;每每我都会说“别费心送我了”。trouble to do sth.意思是“费心去做某事”。(16) B ;我快跑以期望主人赶不上我,因此不再把我送得很远。(17) B (18) C ;当你和某人分别时,你说什么呢?part from意思是“与……离别”。(19) C (20) D ;watch one's step是固定短语,意思是“留神脚下,谨慎行走”。 |
