1 Never accept a compliment graciously
不要大方地接受別人的恭維
You may find yourself at a loss for words when you compliment a Chinese host on a wonderful meal, and you get in response, "No, no, the food was really horrible." Moral of the story here: Feign humility, even if it kills you!
當你在餐桌上贊美中國女主人燒得一手好菜時,她回復的“沒有啦,食物真還不夠好吃”可能會讓你不知所措。這個故事的寓意是:佯裝謙虛,即使你自己都受不了!
