在聚会上你该如何推延活动以示对别人的尊重?

　　It may sound old fashioned, but it’s very important to let people know that you hold them in high esteem. And the act will usually not go unnoticed by the recipient. Several examples (but certainly not an all inclusive list) of when deference is important at an event:

　　听起来像是老调重弹，但是你有必要让别人知道你十分尊重他们，但是你还要不着痕迹的变现出这种尊重。以下几例显示了聚会上什么时候适当的表现尊重是十分重要的(当然没有包括全部的情况)：

　　(1)Follow the lead of others (e.g., host) to know when/where to sit.

　　效仿他人，看他们什么时候坐在哪里。

　　(2)Hold doors for others.

　　为别人开门。

　　(3)Don’t assume empty seats are available.

　　不要以为空座位都是可以坐的。

　　(4)Allow others to take the better seat.

　　让别人选好的位置。

　　(5)Wait to speak until others acknowledge you.

　　等到别人注意到你后才开始说话。

　　(6)Wait for the host before taking a first drink.

　　在主人没动杯之前不要喝酒。

　　(7)Wait to eat until after everyone is served and the host has begun.

　　等到主人以及大家都开动后再开始用餐。
