英美人的称赞
中国人对于别人的赞美，总是谦虚一番。比如说：“我做得还不够好，还要继续努力。”等，而英美人没有这种自谦，当别人称赞自己时，他们会愉快地接

英美人的做客与受礼
在英美，除了生日或重大节日，人们一般不互赠礼品，人家请你吃饭也不必带贵重的礼物，最多带一瓶酒或一束鲜花足矣。西方人受礼方式与我们也不同，他们从来不推来推去的，而是照收无误。在中国当面打开人家的礼物是不礼貌的，而在英美国家往往当场打开礼物，取出共同享用或观赏，嘴上说着Good beautiful.或Wonderful。这时你应说：“I?m glad you like it.”英美人送客，一般只送到大门

口，客人不说：Stay where you are（请留步）；Don?t come any further（不远送了）之类的话，一般情况下走远时，向主人挥挥手就行了，主人也不高喊“再见，走好！”

何种情景中使用sir？
sir的汉语意思是“先生”，“阁下”，是一种非正式的对男子的礼貌称呼，sir一般单独使用，不与姓氏相连。而Mr.不同，它后面可以接姓或姓名。如：Mr. Li或Mr. Li Ming，但却不能说：Sir Li或Sir Li Ming。Sir可以在下列情景中使用：
