波兰当地有项习俗,男女相遇时,男士得亲吻女士的手。初到华沙时,我十分不敢恭维这种风俗,那时,我觉得必须折腰在女性手背印上一吻,简直是封建时代的陈腐做法。每当有女士伸出纤纤玉手让我亲吻时,我总是吞吞吐吐挤出这样的话来:“我无意冒犯,但是我的国家并不时兴这个,既然我十分尊敬你,我们何不握个手?” There is a custom in Poland, when men and women meet, men have to kiss ladies hands. When I first arrived in Warsaw, I was very afraid of complimenting this custom. At that time, I felt it was necessary to fold my hand on the female back to print a kiss, which was simply a trite act in the feudal era. Whenever a woman slender hand let me kiss, I always vomit extrusion such words: “I do not mean to offend, but my country is not fashionable, since I respect you, why do not we hold hands? ”
