　　In the hustle and bustle of daily life, busy moms and dads don't always have the time to focus on etiquette. But if you reinforce these 25 must-do manners, you'll raise a polite, kind, well-liked child。

　　生活工作太忙碌，爸爸媽媽們不一定有時間關(guān)注孩子的禮儀教養(yǎng)，不過，只要注意將這25條教給孩子就行啦。

　　Manner #1

　　When asking for something, say "Please."

　　問別人話的時候先說“請”。

　　Manner #2

　　When receiving something, say "Thank you."

　　別人給了自己什么東西，要說“謝謝”。

　　Manner #3

　　Do not interrupt grown-ups who are speaking with each other unless there is an emergency。

　　不要打斷大人們的談話，除非真的有急事。

　　Manner #4

　　If you do need to get somebody's attention right away, the phrase "excuse me" is the most polite way for you to enter the conversation。

　　如果真的需要跟某人說話，最好先說一句“打擾了”。

　　Manner #5

　　When you have any doubt about doing something, ask permission first. It can save you from many hours of grief later。

　　如果在做一件事前拿不定主意，先去征求父母的意見和許可。

　　Manner #6

　　The world is not interested in what you dislike. Keep negative opinions to yourself, or between you and your friends, and out of earshot of adults。

　　別人不關(guān)心你討厭什么，所以一些批評言論最好只是跟朋友們隨便說說，不要傳得人盡皆知。

　　Manner #7

　　Do not comment on other people's physical characteristics unless, of course, it's to compliment them, which is always welcome。

　　不要對別人品頭論足，當然稱贊他人的外表是必要的。

　　Manner #8

　　When people ask you how you are, tell them and then ask them how they are。

　　當別人向你問好時，記得禮貌作答，并且也問候他們。

　　Manner #9

　　When you have spent time at your friend's house, remember to thank his or her parents for having you over and for the good time you had。

　　在朋友家做客時要向朋友的父母表達感謝。

　　Manner #10

　　Knock on closed doors -- and wait to see if there's a response -- before entering。

　　進房間前先敲門。

　　Manner #11

　　When you make a phone call, introduce yourself first and then ask if you can speak with the person you are calling。

　　打電話時先講明自己是誰，然后再找自己想要找的人。而不是一開口就問XXX在嗎。

　　Manner #12

　　Be appreciative and say "thank you" for any gift you receive. In the age of e-mail, a handwritten thank-you note can have a powerful effect。

　　收到禮物后要表達感謝，手寫的感謝信比發(fā)電子郵件要好。

　　Manner #13

　　Never use foul language in front of adults. Grown-ups already know all those words, and they find them boring and unpleasant。

　　別在大人面前說臟話，大人們對臟話了如指掌，并且他們已經(jīng)厭倦那些詞語了。

　　Manner #14

　　Don't call people mean names。

　　不要對人口出惡言。

　　Manner #15

　　Do not make fun of anyone for any reason. Teasing shows others you are weak, and ganging up on someone else is cruel。

　　任何情況下都不要嘲笑別人，這只會顯示出你自己的軟弱，對被嘲笑的人來說也是件殘酷的事。

　　Manner #16

　　Even if a play or an assembly is boring, sit through it quietly and pretend that you are interested. The performers and presenters are doing their best。

　　看演出時就算再無聊也要保持安靜，臺上演出的人是付出了實實在在的努力的。

　　Manner #17

　　If you bump into somebody, immediately say "Excuse me."

　　撞到人的時候要立刻說抱歉。

　　Manner #18

　　Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, and don't pick your nose in public。

　　咳嗽或者打噴嚏的時候要遮住嘴，并且公開場合不要摳鼻孔。

　　Manner #19

　　As you walk through a door, look to see if you can hold it open for someone else。

　　進出一扇門的時候記得停一小會，幫后面的人把門開著。

　　Manner #20

　　If you come across a parent, a teacher, or a neighbor working on something, ask if you can help. If they say "yes," do so -- you may learn something new。

　　看到父母、老師或者鄰居在忙什么的時候，問一句能不能幫手。幫忙的過程中你也會學到一點半點東西。

　　Manner #21

　　When an adult asks you for a favor, do it without grumbling and with a smile。

　　當大人請你幫忙做什么事的時候，別抱怨，記得帶著微笑去完成。

　　Manner #22

　　When someone helps you, say "thank you." That person will likely want to help you again。
