地道美語:red carpet treatment 貴賓式待遇

集團(tuán)老總要來，全廠上下忙個不停，又是安排會場，鋪上地毯，又是準(zhǔn)備盛宴，好不忙乎，這讓我想起了一個片語：red carpet

 treatment(welcome).

先看一個例子：

Wherever the star went, he was given a red carpet welcome by his movie fans.

（那明星的所到之處，都受到他影迷的熱烈歡迎。）.

Red carpet treatment意思是貴賓式的待遇，而red carpet welcome指貴賓式的歡迎。一般在接見重要人物時，接待單位總是鋪上

紅地毯以表隆重和熱烈，所以這種“紅地毯待遇”就表示“貴賓式的待遇”了。英文老師這樣解釋：

In west culture, people rool out a red carpet for an important people to walk on when they arrive. For example,

important people such as an embassador, a movie star or an honorable guest. So to give someone the red carpet

treatmetnt means that you give them special treatment.

Let’s take a look at the following examples from the internet:

Dr. Taylor Wang, the first Chinese astronaut, was given the red-carpet treatment at his alma mater.

(中國的第一位太空人王贛駿博士在他的母校受到隆重而熱烈的歡迎。)

When the president visited the foreign countries, he was given the red-carpet treatment and welcomed by a great

crown.

(當(dāng)總統(tǒng)訪問外國時，他得到了隆重的款待及多數(shù)群眾的熱烈歡迎。)

注意，這個片語有時也用作roll out the red carpet to sb. 意思相同，上文中英文老師的解釋里就這樣用到。

下面來看一看今天要學(xué)習(xí)的第二個片語：when in Rome, do as the Romans do

你喜歡西方人的就餐習(xí)慣嗎？在美國，他們總是先上湯，后上主菜，而在我們中國，湯卻是最后一道需要上的菜，不管怎樣，我們

到了一個陌生的國度，總得要“入鄉(xiāng)隨俗”。對了，這就是when in Rome, do as the Romans do，即conform to the manners

and customs of those amongst whom you live.從字面意義上看（literally）,這個片語的意思是當(dāng)身處羅馬時，要像羅馬人那

樣做，意思就是你到一個地方時，由于文化傳統(tǒng)的差異，你需要按照人家的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣行事。The sentence “When in Rome, do

as the Romans do” means that we should obey its customs when we are entering a country.看個例子：

The differences in customs and cultures in the world are really noticeable. We should learn more about them to

avoid them to avoid embarrassment(窘迫). Then, would you please remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

（世界上的風(fēng)俗和文化的不同很值得注意。我們應(yīng)該多注意一點一，以避尷尬。所以請記�。喝豚l(xiāng)隨俗。）
