3.Be On Time—It’s always nice when people show up at our events on time. When we invite people over for dinner at 6:30, it is not uncommon for my wife to have dinner ready at 6:If you are attending a dinner, you don’t want to be the person who is noticeably late. Being on time is a good way to show your respect for their schedule. At the same time, don’t come early or you may catch your host unprepared for your early arrival.
3.要準(zhǔn)時(shí)。參加聚會(huì)最好要準(zhǔn)時(shí)到。如果我們邀請(qǐng)人們6點(diǎn)半?yún)⒓泳蹠?huì)，通常情況下我的妻子會(huì)在6點(diǎn)半把晚餐準(zhǔn)備好。如果你參加晚宴，最好不要是那個(gè)來(lái)的太晚的。按時(shí)到表示了你對(duì)主人的尊敬。我還建議不要來(lái)得太早。你或許可以早到5分鐘。但是通常情況下，直到最后一分鐘主人還在忙活。所以有時(shí)候去的太早會(huì)有些掃興。
4.Bring A Gift— When you are invited to attend a party or dinner engagement at someone’s home, it’s a nice practice to bring a little gift for the host. It could be a bottle of wine, a small inexpensive flower arrangement or something as simple as a card. A little gift is a nice way of showing your appreciation for the effort put into the event and for being included.
4.帶上禮物。當(dāng)你被邀請(qǐng)參加聚會(huì)時(shí)，帶一件禮物是很好的做法。可以是一瓶酒、一小束花或者只是簡(jiǎn)單地一張卡片。一件小禮物代表著你對(duì)主人的辛勞和對(duì)你的邀請(qǐng)的一種感激。選禮物時(shí)你應(yīng)該考慮一下送什么禮物比較合適。
5.Upon Arrival Offer to Help—When you arrive, ask if there is anything you can do to help. There are almost always last minute things that need to be done and your offer will be appreciated. If there isn’t anything to do, you can bet your offer to help will make an impression.
5.到了之后提議幫忙。當(dāng)你到后，問(wèn)一下有沒(méi)有什么需要你的幫忙。可能有很多最后掃尾的事情需要做，你的提議會(huì)讓主人感到欣慰。如果沒(méi)有什么需要幫忙的，至少你還能留下一個(gè)好的印象。
6.Be Attentive To The Things You Can Do To Help—When you attend events with family and “close” friends, look for the things you can do without being asked to help. It could be cleaning up glasses laying around or taking out the trash that is overflowing. My wife and I always appreciate those who pitch in to help without having to be asked.
6.留意你能幫到忙的事。當(dāng)你參加家人和朋友的聚會(huì)時(shí)，留意一些你可以幫到忙的事情，不要非等主人問(wèn)你。你可以幫忙收拾散亂的酒杯或者把裝滿的垃圾袋扔出去。我妻子和我都很欣賞那些主動(dòng)這樣做的人。
7.Help Clean Up—If you attend a party at someone’s home, offer to help with the clean up. If they decline your offer, simply say, “I would enjoy helping you clean up. Would you please allow me to help you?” When they accept your offer, help them clean up until the job is finished or until your host wants to take a break. If they decline your help because they would rather continue the conversation in another room, ask them again when the party is over.
7.幫忙打掃。如果你去某人家里參加聚會(huì)，提出要幫忙收拾。如果他們拒絕了，你可以說(shuō)：“我想幫忙收拾。就讓我?guī)兔脝幔俊比绻麄兺饬耍瑤退麄円恢笔帐巴昊蛘咧魅讼胄菹⒁幌拢阋部梢灾虚g休息。如果他們因?yàn)橄肴チ硪婚g房聊天而謝絕了，那么聚會(huì)結(jié)束時(shí)再問(wèn)一次。
