When you start talking about good and bad manners you immediately start
meeting difficulties. Many people just cannot agree what they mean. We asked a
lady, who replied that she thought you could tell a well-mannered person on the __1__
way they occupied the space around them—for example, when such a person
walks down a street he or she is constantly unaware of others. Such people never __2__
bump into other people.
However, a second person thought that this was more a question of
civilized behavior as good manners. Instead, this other person told us a story, __3__
it he said was quite well-known, about an American who had been invited __4__
to an Arab meal at one of the countries of the Middle East. The American __5__
hasn’t been told very much about the kind of food he might expect. If he had __6__
known about American food, he might have behaved better. __7__
Immediately before him was a very flat piece of bread that looked, to
him, very much as a napkin. Picking it up, he put it into his collar, so that __8__
it falls across his shirt. His Arab host, who had been watching, __9__
said of nothing, but immediately copied the action of his guest. __10__
And that, said this second person, was a fine example of good manners.
參考答案及解析:
1.將on改為by。
“by the way”作“根據(jù)……方式”講。
2. 將unaware改為aware
根據(jù)下文中的“Such a person never bump into other people”判斷，這種人不會(huì)“目中無人”。
3. 將as改為than
“more + adj/of + n + than”是固定搭配。
4. 將it改為which
which在此引導(dǎo)一個(gè)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，which在從句中作主語(yǔ)，需要注意的是，在從句中he said是插入語(yǔ)。
5. 將at改為in
名詞the country前要用介詞in。
6. 將hasn’t改為hadn’t
根據(jù)上下文我們可以看出這里需要使用過去完成時(shí)。
7. 將American改為Arab。根據(jù)上文，我們可以看出，這里講述的是赴“阿拉伯”傳統(tǒng)宴會(huì)的“美國(guó)人”的故事，而不是赴“美國(guó)”傳統(tǒng)宴會(huì)的
“美國(guó)人”的故事。
8. 將as 改為like
介詞as意思為“作為”，like意思為“像”。
9. 將falls改為fell
這里要使用一般過去時(shí)。
10. 將第一個(gè)of刪掉。
say作為及物動(dòng)詞，后面可直接跟名詞作賓語(yǔ)。
