Before you go to another country, it is helpful to learn about the language and some of the customs of the country.
在你去另一个国家之前，学习该国语言和一些风俗习惯是很有帮助的。
When people meet each other for the first time in England, they say, "How do you do?", and shake hands. However, they do not shake hands if they see each other regularly. They only shake hands after they haven't met for a long time, or when they will be away from each other for a long time. But things can be quite different in other countries.
在英国，人们初次见面时会说“你好吗？”并握手。但如果经常见面的话，他们就不会握手。他们只在很久不见之后，或者将要分开很长一段时间之前才会握手。但在别的国家就不是如此了。
Last year, a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students, however, had learned that the Germans shake hands as often as possible, so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It made both of them laugh.
去年，一群德国学生到英国度假。他们的老师告诉他们，英国人很少握手。因此，当他们在站台见到英国朋友时就把手放在了背后。但英国学生了解到，德国人尽可能多地经常握手，因此他们把手放在前面，准备和他们握手。这一场面令他们双方都笑了。
