If you decide to go traveling overseas, here are a few tips to be a culturally-sensitive traveler.
如果你打算去国外旅游，这里有几条建议教你如何做一名对目标国文化敏感的旅行者。

1. Before you go to a country, do research about it. Find out about any behavior that might not be acceptable, such as how close you should stand next to another person and what gestures to use to greet another person or get their attention. Find out about the proper clothes to wear to various places, such as religious sites.
   到一个国家之前，先作调查。了解清楚哪些行为在这个国家不被接受，比如与其他人保持的距离和用什么肢体语言来问候别人或者引起他们的注意。了解去不同的地方合适的着装是什么，比如宗教场所。
2. Watch and learn. Watch for people's roles, attitudes and customs. How do people behave in public? Be respectful to the country that you are visiting. This may require that you dress or behave differently than at home.
   看和学。注意观察人们的角色、态度和习俗。人们在公共场合都有什么举止？要尊重你将拜访的国家。这个就要求你的举止和服装与在家时不同。
3. Try to use the local language. It's helpful to learn basic phrases, such as, “Please, Thank you, Good morning, How are you?”
   尝试使用当地的语言。学一些基本用语会很有帮助，比如，“请、谢谢、早上好、你好吗？”
4. Avoid generalizations. If you have a bad experience, try not to generalize. What did you learn about yourself and the culture from the experience?
   避免以偏概全。如果你有不开心的经历，尽量不要以偏概全。你从经历中了解到自己存在什么问题，或者学到了什么文化？
5. Trust your instincts. If you do find yourself feeling uncomfortable in a situation, follow your instincts and try to leave the situation.
   相信你的直觉。如果你在某个环境下感觉很不自在，相信你的直觉并试着离开这个环境。
