If you know the manners of your foreign friends, you will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own.A visitor to India should remember it is impolite there to use the left hand for passing food at the table. The left hand is for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he is disagreeing. But inmany parts of India a side-to-side movement of the head is to show agreement. In Bulgaria you shake your head to show "yes"—a nod shows "no".In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs while sitting and talking to someone, even at an important meeting. But doing this could cause offence to a Thailander. Touching the head of a grown-up is also not done in Thailand.Knowing about manners is useful when you are traveling, and you also need to know the language used to express the customs.31.

《新标准大学英语综合教程》（1）第一单元课文（Active Reading 1）疑难详解武汉科技大学双文庭1. After a long drive from home, we arrive at my hall of residence…从家里出发后，我们开车开了很长一段时间才到达我们要住的宿舍楼。
这是本文的第一句话，有两点需要注意。
首先是时态的用法。
这里叙述的显然是过去的事情，但从开头到全文的结尾，主要的时态都是用的现在一般时（the simple present），这种用法叫做历史现在时（historical present，也有学者称historic present）。
这种用法是为了使描写更加生动、形象，犹如眼前发生的一般。
这种时态多出现在叙事文中。
这一用法在具体使用的时候，可以是现在时态为主，偶尔插入其他时态（如过去时等）；也可以是过去时态为主，偶尔插入现在时，本文属于前一种情况。
后一种情况如：I was sitting here talking to Mark when Dick walked in. He looked furious ... then suddenly, up he comes shouting at me, picks up my drink and throws it all over me. I had no idea what was going on.其次，要注意的另外一点是英语介词的用法。
对阅读而言，中国学生的英语介词一般不成问题，因为介词数量少，意义也不复杂。
但值得注意的是，介词（当然还有名词）是英语的优势词类，也就是，正常情况下，它们的使用频次要高于其他词类。
比较而言，汉语的优势词类则为动词。
翻译中经常要将汉语的动词表达为英语的介词，反义亦然。
本文第一句话中译至少用了三个动词：出发、开（车）、到达；但英文中却只有一个动词arrive，名词drive和介词from都译成了汉语中的动词。
全新版大学英语综合教程1课文翻译（Unit1-Unit8）Unit 1 Growing Up为自己而写拉塞尔·贝壳从孩提时代，我还住在贝尔维尔时，我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头，但直等到我高中三年级，这—想法才有了实现的可能。
在这之前，我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。
我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。
我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作，老师读着受累，我写着痛苦。
弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时，我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。
弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。
据说他拘谨刻板，完全落后于时代。
我看他有六七十岁了，古板之极。
他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜，微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐，梳得纹丝不乱。
他身穿古板的套装，白衬衣领扣外的领带打得——丝不苟。
他救着古板的尖下巴，古板的直鼻梁，说起话来—本正经，字斟句酌，彬彬有礼，活脱脱一个橱稽的老古董。
我作好准备，打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上—年，不少日子过去了，还真不出所料。
后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。
弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸，出了不少题供我们选择。
像“暑假二三事”那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有，但绝大多数—样乏味。
我把作文题带回家，—直没写，直到要交作业的前一天晚上。
我躺在沙发上，最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课，便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗—看。
我的目光落在“吃意大利细面条的艺术”这个题目上。
这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。
贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来，当时，我们大家—起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。
那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。
多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过，在座的大人也是经验不足，没有—个吃起来得心应手的。
艾伦舅舅家诙谐有趣的场景全都重现在我的脑海中，我回想起来，当晚我们笑作—团，争论着该如何地把面条从盘子上送到嘴里才算合乎礼仪。
