全球文化：在这12个国家不要做的事

Don't stare: "You'd appear either uneducated or mentally ill."
不要盯着看：“你会显得没文化或者神经病。”

Don't be overly friendly: "Germans like to gradually warm up to people and take time to really get to know them before acting like BFFs."
不要过于热情友好：“德国人不喜欢一来就表现得像‘最好的朋友’一样，他们喜欢‘慢热’，慢慢去了解对方。”

Don't wish someone a happy birthday before the actual day: "The origin is a superstition that something bad will happen to them (they might die) before their birthday if you do, however this rule is not limited to superstitious people. Even bright, rational Germans will feel uncomfortable because it's just not done."
生日未到之前不要祝人生日快乐：“原本的迷信是，如果你这么做，对方可能会遭遇不测（可能会死），但不只是迷信的人相信这点。哪怕是积极理性的德国人提前收到生日祝福，心里也会觉得不爽的。”
