20多岁的你已经是个大人了，也许你还在享受美好的青春时光，但有一些幼稚的行为还是不要再做了。不管是那些不好的生活习惯、那些没注意到的社交礼仪，还是那些在感情和人际关系处理上的幼稚行为，该丢掉的就丢掉吧。是时候成熟起来啦！ 1. Interrupting conversations. 打断谈话。 Remember being five, and when your parents were talking to other grownups you’d walk over mid-conversation, tug on their shirts and repeatedly call, “Mom/Dad?” Yeah — that was improper then — but you were five, so it was fathomable. Some people are incapable of comprehending the notion of waiting their turn to speak. When this happens, utilize the sarcastic old saying: “I apologize, did the middle of my sentence interrupt the beginning of yours?” 记得5岁的时候，当父母跟其他大人谈话时，你会走过去扯着他们的衣角不断叫唤“妈妈/爸爸” 来打断谈话吗？尽管很不礼貌，但你才5岁嘛，情有可原。有些人就是等不及别人讲完再开口。遇到这种情况，可以略微暗讽一下：“不好意思，我话还没说完，影响到你了吗？” 2. Poor hygiene. 不讲卫生。 As kids we often abhorred the concept of cleanliness. We relished wearing the same grass-stained, smelly pants for as long as possible. The thought of bathing made us shiver in our Velcro strapped shoes. Now, it’s a different story. It’s remarkable how many folks out there seem to think that deodorant is optional. I mean, technically it is but it shouldn’t be. They need laws enforcing this. If the pungent aroma of your body odor is burning nostrils, and causing eyes to water, you should receive some type of ticket. Stink needs repercussions just as much as loitering does. |
