摘　　要：In every culture,some things are polite,and some are not.Taboos are very bad.People should not do them.If they do,others might get very upset.In the U.S.not tipping a server is taboo.Asking someone,"How old are you?"or"Are you married?"is also rude.In Chinese culture,people avoid the number four.It sounds like the word for death.People also do not write people's names in red.That is also rude.在每种文化里都有些行为是有礼貌的,而又有些不是。禁忌是非常不好的事情,大家都不该做这些事。要是有人做了这些事,就可能会惹人不快。在美国,不给服务人员小费就是一项禁忌;问别人“你几岁?”或者“你结婚了吗?”也是没礼貌的行为。在中国文化里,人们都会回避“四”这个数字,因为这个数字的发音听起来像“死”;人们也不会用红笔写别人的名字,这样也是没礼貌的行为。
