没素质啥意思（没素质不是在说你吧）

现代人是绝不可能像《唐顿庄园》里的人那么重礼仪了。但在餐桌、地铁、公车、飞机这些公众场合是不是还是应该讲一下素质呢？看看一本最新出版的礼仪书是怎么说的吧——>

Mobile phone use

It is always rude to pay more attention to a phone than a person in the flesh, and they should always be put away when transacting other business – for example, when you're paying for something in a shop.They should be switched off in theatres, cinemas (including during the trailers), art galleries, or any space where silence is desired.

使用手机

关注手机胜过关注一个活生生的人总归是不礼貌的，处理其他事情的时候也应该把手机收起来——比如在商店里买东西的时候。而在剧院、电影院（包括电影前的广告时间）、艺术展馆或任何需要安静的地方都应该关机。

Eating or applying make-up on public transport

You should avoid eating or applying make-up on public transport. It’s inconsiderate to eat smelly food in a confined environment and applying make-up on public transport can jeopardise that all-important first impression and make you appear disorganised.'

在公共交通工具上吃东西和化妆

在公共交通工具上应该避免吃东西和化妆。在狭小的环境里吃味道很重的食物是不顾及他人的行为，而在公共交通工具上化妆会破坏别人对你的第一印象，给人留下乱糟糟的印象。

Giving up your seat onpublic transport

Passengers should always offer to give up their seat to any individual that is pregnant, elderly, or clearly in need. It is important to remember, however, that it is just as rude to aggressively decline the offer of a seat as it is to not offer a seat.

在公共交通工具上让座

乘坐公共交通工具的人应该主动为孕妇、老人或其他需要帮助的人让座。但是，同样请记住，强推别人让出的座位和不肯让座同样不礼貌。

Recline your seat on aeroplanes

It's selfish to recline your seat back during short daytime flights. When travelling by plane, always stay within your own designated space and don't hog the armrest. Also avoid kicking the back of the seat in front of you or using it as an aid to standing-up.

把飞机座位向后倾斜

在短途的日间飞机上，把座位的椅背向后倾斜是很自私的行为。乘飞机时，尽量坐在自己的座位上，不要独占扶手。也要尽量避免踢到你前排的座位，或是扒着前排座位站起来。

Blind copying (bcc)

Blind copying should be used discerningly as it is deceptive to the primary recipient. If blind copying is essential – i.e. for a confidential document where all recipients must remain anonymous – then the sender should address the email to themselves, and everyone else as ‘bcc’ recipients.

密件抄送（bcc）

使用密件抄送需谨慎，因为这对邮件的接收者有一定的欺骗性。如果密件抄送确有其要，比如说一份机密文件要发送给几个需要匿名的人，发送者应该把邮件的接收者设为自己，把其他收信人设为bcc的人。

Eating before everyone is served

Is it rude to start eating at the table before everyone else has been served? The simple answer is yes, unless the host or hostess gives their permission for diners to start.

在每个人的食物都端上来之前开吃

在同桌的其他人的食物还没端上来之前就开吃不礼貌吗？当然，应该等到主人或是做东的人宣布晚饭开始才开吃。
