专四范文：
The Importance of Etiquette When Travelling Abroad
出国礼仪很重要。
Knowing how to behave while travelling abroad is now becoming almost as important as remembering to pack your passport. I would like to suggest two reasons why this is so.
熟知国外礼节几乎与记住带护照一样重要。我想讲两点原因。
First, it is important to realize that we are not just lone travellers but representatives of our countries. A British tourist who offends Spanish local mores by acting in an impolite manner is also by proxy offending that country. And it is our nationality that will be remembered more than our personal identity. It is often said that "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." which means that tourists should adopt the local customs by behaving as local people do. Second, we should regard ourselves as guests of our host county. The Chinese are famous for being hospitable to "friends from afar" but how would we feel if our guests rewarded that hospitality with outright contempt for our society's civilized past and present by behaving in anuncouth manner. We would be rightly justified in evicting such "friends" from our homes.
第一，我们一定要记住，我们不代表个人，而是代表国家，这点是非常重要的。一位英国游客在西班牙冒犯了当地的习俗，这位游客做了不礼貌的动作，这也就意味着冒犯了整个国家。我们应该记住我们是代表国家，而不仅仅是个人。人们经常说，入乡随俗，意思是说，游客应该适应当地的风俗，行为要与当地人一致。第二，我们应该把我们看成是国家的客人。中国就有“有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎”的名言，但是如果我们的客人公然蔑视我们的文化，并做一些粗鲁的动作，你将会是何种感受呢。我们当然会把这样的朋友请走。
In conclusion, adopting local customs of etiquette when travelling abroad helps to give foreigners a good impression of our country and reminds us that we are honoured guests who should respect our hosts.
总结，出国旅游时适应当地的习俗，这样做会给外国人留下好印象，并让我们知道我们是尊重当地传统的上宾。
