Travel Etiquette出行礼仪

Ireland

爱尔兰

Don't say "Top of the morning toyou": "I don't know how this phrase became associated with Irish people, perhaps it was used in the distant past. But it's not now, and it'sjust really irritating."

不要说“给您问早安”。“我不知道这句话跟爱尔兰人有什么渊源，可能是老早以前的用法吧。但现在这么说真的很讨厌。”

Don't attempt an Irish accent: "To us there is no Irish accent; there are Cork accents, Dublin accents, Kerry accents etc. For us an accent contains reams of unspoken information about a person (Urban/Rural, social status) aside from the locational information."

不要学爱尔兰口音：“我们不觉得自己有‘爱尔兰口音’。爱尔兰有科克口音、都柏林口音、克里口音等等。在我们看来，口音除了是地域标志，还能透露一个人不曾明说的信息，比如是城市人还是农村人、社会地位如何等等。”

Don't be cheap: "The classic is in arounds situation at a pub. If someone is offering to buy the first round, it is perfectly acceptable to say 'Oh I'm on a budget, I'll get my own.' It is not okto join the round and then not pay for one."

不要贪便宜：“最典型的就是酒吧买酒。如果有人提出请喝头一轮，你可以说‘最近我在省钱，我还是自己买吧’，但你不可以接受别人的请客之后又不回请人家。”

Don't call the UK the mainland: "As far as we're concerned,Franceis the mainland."

不要把英国叫作“本土”。“在我们看来，法国才是本土呢。”
