不久前,日本足球队和球迷在世界杯上的表现在各大媒体刷了一波屏。
日本队在输球后把更衣室打扫得一尘不染,球迷在比赛结束后在看台捡垃圾,这些行为引来全球媒体和网友的点赞。
国际足联总干事詹森斯在推特上传了一张赛后日本队更衣室的照片,日本队还留了一张字条,用俄语写着“谢谢”。
良好的教养会赢得人们的尊重,这不仅体现在赛场内外,也体现在生活的方方面面。
对服务人员心存感谢;进出大门时,为身后的人扶一下门;不在公共场合高声喧哗;懂得控制情绪,不骂脏话;咳嗽、打喷嚏时捂住嘴……
生活工作中注意这些细节,会让你遇见更好的自己。

In public, it is kind to hold the door open for others, especially when you see someone with arms full or who might have obvious difficulty entering.
在公共场合,遇到带小孩或手里拿着东西的路人,帮他们扶下门。

身后的人还在较远的地方时,就别打开门等着了,这会让别人不得不快步走过来。
