各国禁忌1Blowing Your Nose 擤鼻涕Where It's Offensive: Japan, China, Saudi Arabia, France.禁忌地：日本、沙特阿拉伯、法国What's Offensive 禁忌:Some cultures find it disgusting to blow your nose in public--especially at the table. The Japanese and Chinese are also repelled by the idea of a handkerchief.有些文化认为当众擤鼻涕是让人厌恶的行为——尤其在餐桌上。

日本人还排斥使用手帕。

What You Should Do Instead 对策:If traveling through Eastern and Asian countries, leave the hankies at home and opt for disposable tissues instead. In France as well as in Eastern countries, if you're dining and need to clear your nasal passages, excuse yourself and head to the restroom. Worst-case scenario: make an exaggerated effort to steer away from the table. Let's hope you don't have a cold.到东方或亚洲国家旅游时，把手帕留在家中，选择用一次性纸巾吧！在法国以及一些东方国家，如果在就餐过程中你需要擤鼻涕，要先说声“请原谅”再去洗手间。

最糟糕的情景是：极为夸张地从餐桌上扭过头去擤鼻涕。

1、不能加塞英国人有排队的习惯。

你可以看到他们一个挨一个地排队上公共汽车、火车或买报纸。

加塞是一种令人不齿的行为。

2、不能问女士的年龄英国人非常不喜欢谈论男人的工资和女人的年龄，甚至他家里的家具值多少钱，也是不该问的。

如果你问了一位女士的年龄，也是很不合适的，因为她认为这是她自己的秘密，而且每个人都想永葆青春，没有比对中年妇女说一声“你看上去好年轻”更好的恭维了。

毫无疑问，每个女士的发型、化妆和衣着都是为了让自己看起来更美丽、更年轻，但是如果她的打扮让人感到太刻意，那么别人就会带着非难的口吻说她“显得俗气”。

3、不能砍价在英国购物，最忌讳的是砍价。

英国人不喜欢讨价还价，认为这是很丢面子的事情。

如果你购买的是一件贵重的艺术品或数量很大的商品时，你也需要小心地与卖方商定一个全部的价钱。

英国人很少讨价还价，如果他们认为一件商品的价钱合适就买下，不合适就走开。

盥洗室与去“100号”盥洗室一词的本意为洗手或洗脸的地方，但其实际含义则是厕所，英国人上厕所时不会直截了当地说“去上厕所”，在提醒别人时也是如此，都不直接提到“厕所”二字。

如果你想要上厕所，可以说“去男人的房间”，或“去女人的房间”，也可以说“请原谅几分钟”或“我想洗手”等等。

小孩子们想要大小便时便说“我要去那个地方”。

在朋友之间和家庭内部，“100号”则是最常用的说法。

舞会上怎样不失礼英国大型舞会一般在晚间10时左右开始。

舞会可在私人家中或到饭店举行。

主人邀请客人应事先寄送请柬，并注意邀请的客人男女数目要大致相当；如不等，可使男子多于女子。

按照习惯，主人请人参加舞会，有时也设晚宴；有时光请跳舞而不设晚宴；而有的则请参加舞会的客人中少数人吃晚饭，饭后跳舞；其他人只能参加舞会而不能吃饭。

所以，被邀请的人一定要看清请柬上的字样，以免使主人难堪。

舞会上，主人备有夜宵，也可能只备些茶、咖啡和三明治等。

参加舞会的客人服装要整齐，跳舞时男宾要轮流请女宾，其中有一次必须与女主人跳舞。
