    1--What Chinese customs of politeness are traditional?
     
    2--I think you've heard this one before, you fight with a friend over the bill in a restaurant.
     
    1--Yeah, that's a part of Chinese culture. You can see that in other cultures too, but not so much in American culture.
     
    2--My friends and I sometimes split the cost equally instead of shouting, "let my pay! ...No, let me pay!"
     
    1--In the U.S., it is common for people to split the bill after a meal. They call this habit "going Dutch". For example, after a meal, I would turn to you and say: "Let's go Dutch." Do you know any other polite customs related to eating or drinking?
     
    2--In my hometown in Inner Mongolia, people like to drink a lot at mealtimes, especially when guests are over. If you visit me at my place, I'll try my best to get you as drunk as possible.
     
    1--Really? That's very funny.
     
    2--Yeah, that's our way of being polite. If you drink so much that you pass out at my place, you would make my parents very happy.
     
    1--Very interesting.
     
    2--I actually don't like it very much. It pleases the family but sometimes makes the guests feel uncomfortable.

    译文:

    1--中国传统里有哪些表示礼貌习俗的?
    2--我想你应该听说过这个,在饭店里你和你的朋友争着付帐。
    1--是的,这可能是中国人的传统习俗。别的国家也有这种习俗,但是在美国文化传统里就不打常见。
    2--但我和我朋友有时候分摊费用,而不是大吼:“我来买单!我来买单!”
    1--在美国,人们一般都是分摊餐费。人们把这种习惯叫“go Dutch”。例如,在吃完饭后,我通常会说“Let's go Dutch.”。你还知道其他跟吃喝有关的礼貌习俗吗?
    2--在我的家乡内蒙古,人们喜欢在吃饭的时候,尤其是有客人来的时候,喝很多酒。如果你去我家玩,我会努力把你灌醉。
    1--是吗?那可挺有意思的。
    2--是啊,这是我们表示礼貌的方式。如果你在我家醉倒了,我爸爸妈妈会很开心的。
    1--真有趣。
    2--实际上,我不太喜欢这样。虽然主人高兴了,但有时会使客人觉得不大舒服。
