Background Information 1. Greeting ritualsWhen people meet acquaintances or

7、 friends, they usually greet each other. The purpose of greeting is to establish or maintain social contact. In English, the simplest thing to say is “Good morning/afternoon/evening”. This greeting is given to one whom you know only slightly, or to any one you are passing quickly. “How are you” is u

8、sually used when you are not in such a hurry. No answer is expected other than “Fine, thank you”. “Hello” is the commonest form of greeting between good friends.If you are wearing a hat which can be taken bold of easily, it is customary to raise it slightly off your head when you greet a girl or a w

9、oman.It is customary to shake hands when you first meet someone. Usually friends shake hands when they meet after not having seen each other for some time. However, it is not necessary to shake hands. Englishmen do shake hands with each other, but as little as possible. They never hug or kiss other

10、men. Many Americans hug each other as a form of greeting. Girls tend to hug longer and guys just have a “half-hug”.It is always good form to use the name of the person you are greeting. You might say, “Good morning, Mr. Black” or “Hello, Franklin”. A persons surname should be used unless he is good

11、friend or school-mate. One never addresses his teacher by his first name, either in speech or in writing. If ones teachers name is John Smith, it is not proper to say “John”. And one never speaks to ones teacher as “Teacher”. It is quite proper to say “Sir” to a man but if your teacher is a woman, y

12、ou must use her surname.In introducing two people, the general rule is to introduce other people to the person you wish to honor. The old are honored in the West as in China. Women have been honored in the West since the days of knighthood. A man always rises for an introduction, except that it is s

13、ometimes all right for an elderly man to remain seated when a young man is introduced to him. The hostess always rises for an introduction. You should be cautious to ask a woman private questions. However, relaxing talks about her job or family life will never put you into danger. She is usually gla

14、d to offer you some advice how to cook or get accustomed to local life.If you want to meet someone, it is better to ask a friend who knows him to introduce you. But sometimes at a meeting or gathering it is all right to introduce yourself to a fellow student, or to one of the same sex and position.I

15、n China, we always say “Have you eaten yet?” “What are you going to do?” or “Where have you been?” to show our consideration. These questions are just superficial inquiries that dont require a literal-minded, detailed answer. Simply answer “Yes”, even if you havent actually eaten or simply smile and

16、 say “Thank you”.Sometimes the Chinese nod as an initial greeting. It is common social practice to introduce the junior to the senior, or the familiar to the unfamiliar. When you begin a talk with a stranger, the topics such as weather, food, or hobbies may be good choices to break the ice. To a man

17、, a chat about current affaires, sports, stock market or his job can usually go on smoothly. Members of the same sex may hold hands in public in order to show friendliness. 2.Business cards Business/name cards are ubiquitous in Chinese business and will almost always be exchanged upon meeting a stra

18、nger in such a context. Business cards usually include the bearers name, profession and title, address, telephone number, fax, postal code, e-mail address and some other useful information and personal data. To a foreign friend, Chinese should remember to present a card either with an English versio

19、n or written in English, because most English speakers dont have competence in reading Chinese.3.English names and Chinese namesA common English name is usually composed of two or three parts: the first name is also called forename. If the person is a Christian, his first name will be given at his b

20、aptism, so it is also called the given name or the Christian name. Middle name is the second given name. When written, middle name is often shortened to the initial letter. Surname is often the fathers family name, so it is also called family name or last name. For example: Anne Louise Strong, Georg

21、e W. Bush. These names are written and spoken with the given name first and the family name last. So John Smiths family name is Smith, not John.In Chinese, the order and the use of first name and last name are somewhat different from the westerners names. Surname comes first and then the given name.

22、 And people like to add “Xiao(Little)” before their family name, such as “Xiao Zhou”, “Xiao Dong” and so on. Most people should be addressed with a title and their last name. If a person doesnt have a title, use “Mr.”, “Madam”, “Miss”, plus the last name. A married Chinese woman usually retains her

23、maiden name. She will use her husbands surname on occasions for formal addressing only. If you dont know whether a woman is married or not, it is better to address her “Ms. X”.IV.
