不过在吃饭时,外国人对你菜肴的赞美往往只是礼貌,即使他们吃不惯,他们也会说“The dish is delicious ”可不要拿出中国人的豪爽,没完没了给他夹菜,浪费了不说,还常常弄得对方难堪。7 W& Y# G" M3 g6 Y' M% x
# R) V, |* ?/ q表达赞美时需要注意以下情况:
" J' w+ o. o/ a; u" M9 |: e- s: s) t. w! F

3、中国人很少当面夸赞别人的妻子长得如何漂亮,而在西方文化中, 对别人妻子的赞美是活跃气氛并且很受欢迎的。不过,赞美之后,你的眼睛久久不能从那女士的脸上挪开,可就另当别论了。
* S* o& \! x) a4 `- ~, H: ?- o, C& x8 T w; A5 s8 O
4、赞美别人的首饰或衣服之后不要画蛇添足,

! [& ^' Y$ F8 O) x: I+ L$ x% j4 J$ T d \( u$ @1 b
5、无论别人怎样赞美你,你只要一句“Thanks a lot.”就足以达到交流的效果,无须中国式的谦虚,“No, No”,会让赞美你的人莫明其妙,甚至认为你怀疑他的审美观有问题。

6、美国老师上课时大多慈悲为怀,只要学生开口,无论怎样信口开河或者牛头不对马嘴,老师都会说“Good job!”;“Very nice!”;“Ok, you have a creative answer”;“What an original opinion!”。这既能鼓励学生,又能激发学生参与的积极性。这可是中国老师不妨学学的地方。. U0 E7 \& G6 l2 u+ B- D
# H( ^/ N A; e& K7、在英美国家的各种聚会上,女士们常夸赞自己的丈夫有能力,夸赞自己的孩子如何聪明可爱;男士们也常夸赞自己的妻子温柔可人,夸赞自己的老板如何地重用自己,这既能活跃气氛,又能尽显自己人性美的一部分。若有机会你参加外国人的ball(舞会),你也不妨收起你的谦虚,将你的赞美适时适度地表达出来。
