"It is better to give than to receive. "; "Beware of Greeks(ancient, of course)bearing gifts. " Gifts are a fundamental element of culture and our lives as social an important part of our business relationships.
There are occasions when giving a gift surpasses spoken communication, since the message it offers can cut through barriers of language and cultural diversity. Present a simple gift to your host in a foreign country and the chances are he or she will understand you perfectly, though you may not understand a single word of each other’s languages. It can convey wealth of meaning about your appreciation of their hospitality and the importance you place upon the relationship.
Combine the act of giving with some knowledge of and sensitivity to the culture of the recipient and you have an invaluable chance to earn respect and lay the foundations of a durable and mutually beneficial business relationship. For all countries, take account of climate, especially in regard to clothing. Some gifts can be ruined by extremely hot or humid climates, possibly causing their receiver considerable anguish. Consider the kinds of products that are abundant in the country concerned and try for something that is uncommon there. Think about the level of language skills: a book with hundreds of pages of English text may be at best useless, at worst embarrassing, to a person with limited English. Inform yourself as much as possible about local customs, rules and etiquette, especially to do with wrapping, presenting, superstitions, taboos and, importantly, customs. The following is a brief account of the etiquette of gift giving in some countries of Asia.
For Thailand, gifts should not be wrapped or packaged in black. Modest gifts, like ties, scarves and key rings are much appreciated. Traditionally, sharp objects like knives or even letter openers are not given as gifts. Laos has virtually no cultural taboo items. It would be difficult to offend with virtually any gift. Gifts are normally exchanged at the beginning of meetings with Japanese and should be given and received with both hands. It is seen as impolite to give an unwrapped gift. The emphasis should be on high quality, though not necessarily expensive, items.
There are no special gift giving customs in Vietnam, but the Vietnamese are enthusiastic gift givers and like very much to receive them as well. Liquor and wine can be problematic for reasons pertaining to Vietnamese tastes rather than morality or religion.
Why liquor and wine are not recommended as gifts to the Vietnamese?
选项
A、Morally, they are not allowed to drink.
B、They don’t like drinking.
C、There are some religious reasons.
D、It’s difficult to be sure of their preference of taste.
答案
D
解析
细节事实题。根据题干中的关键词liquor and wine定位到原文尾段尾句。原句reasons后的内容为答案,其中taste与选项D重现,故答案为D(很难确定越南人的口味)。其余三项均不符合作者原意。
