When you start talking about good and bad manners you immediately start meeting difficulties. Many people just cannot agree what they mean. We asked a
lady, who replied that she thought you could tell a well-mannered person on the __1__way they occupied the space around them—for example, when such a person walks down a street he or she is constantly unaware of others. Such people never __2__bump into other people.However, a second person thought that this was more a question of civilized behavior as good manners. Instead, this other person told us a story, __3__it he said was quite well-known, about an American who had been invited __4__to an Arab meal at one of the countries of the Middle East. The American __5__hasn’t been told very much about the kind of food he might expect. If he had __6__known about American food, he might have behaved better. __7__Immediately before him was a very flat piece of bread that looked, to him, very much as a napkin. Picking it up, he put it into his collar, so that __8__it falls across his shirt. His Arab host, who had been watching, __9__said of nothing, but immediately copied the action of his guest. __10__And that, said this second person, was a fine example of good manners.
答案如下：
1將on改為by?！癰y the way”作“根據(jù)……方式”講。
2 將unaware改為aware.根據(jù)下文中的“Such a person never bump into other people”判斷，這種人不會“目中無人”。
3 將as改為than.“more + adj/of + n + than”是固定搭配。
4 將it改為which.which在此引導(dǎo)一個非限制性定語從句，which在從句中作主語，需要注意的是，在從句中he said是插入語。
5 將at改為in.名詞the country前要用介詞in。
6 將hasn’t改為hadn’t.根據(jù)上下文我們可以看出這里需要使用過去完成時。
7 將American改為Arab。根據(jù)上文，我們可以看出，這里講述的是赴“阿拉伯”傳統(tǒng)宴會的“美國人”的故事，而不是赴“美國”傳統(tǒng)宴會的“美國人”的故事。
8 將as 改為like.介詞as意思為“作為”，like意思為“像”。
9 將falls改為fell.這里要使用一般過去時。
10 將第一個of刪掉。say作為及物動詞，后面可直接跟名詞作賓語。
