常见礼仪十大错误 你犯了哪条?

2012-02-16来源:askmen

No.6 Not giving up your seat
第六条:不让座

In the same way that many rules of etiquette are designed to keep you from being self-centered, the "give up your seat to someone who needs it more" rule is basic human decency and not a discussion about gender politics. Maybe the pregnant woman or frail old lady doesn't technically require your hard-won public transit seat, and maybe you had a terrible day, your feet hurt and the bus is packed with miserable people, but suck it up and give up the damn seat already.
很多礼仪习惯都是为了让你不显得太以自我为中心,这条也是。让座给更需要的人是最基本的人性表现,与性别无关。也许那个孕妇或颤颤巍巍的老太太并不需要你好不容易抢到的座位;也许你刚度过了糟糕的一天,伤心欲绝,且整辆公车上塞满了跟你一样悲剧的同类……但无论怎样,站起来让个座吧。
