　　【文化ABC】-- 守時

　　世界上時間觀念最強的是日本人，德國人，斯堪的那維亞人和英國人，他們在正式交往中都嚴守時間。在與西方人交往時可遵循下列原則：

　　(1)集會，約會按時到達。西方國家的會議和演出都是準(zhǔn)時開始的，在活動開始前就座才符合禮節(jié)

　　(2)參加宴會提前幾分鐘。西方的宴會也是準(zhǔn)時開始的，可在宴會開始前幾分鐘到達。提前太多會打亂主人的計劃，而遲到則顯得對其他客人很不禮貌。

　　(3)沙龍，舞會可遲到幾分鐘。這是西方人公認的;守時行為;，因為到了預(yù)定時間，一切工作已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備就緒，主人這可以專門恭候客人了。

　　Im That Mans Tailor

　　A man went to see his doctor one day because he was suffering from pains in his stomach. After the doctor had examined him carefully, he said to him,;Well, theres nothing really wrong with you, Im glad to say. Your only trouble is that you worry too much. Do you konw, I had a man with the same trouble as you in here a few weeks ago, and I gave him the same advice as Im going to give you. He was worried because he couldnt pay his tailors bills. I told him not to worry his head about the bills any more. He followed my advice and when he came to see me again two days ago, he told me that he now felt quite all right again.;

　　;Yes, I know all about that,; answered the patient sadly,;You see, Im that mans tailor.;
