You know gift giving plays a very important role in modern society.Now let's see what happened in some countries.
Australia
Australia is known for its friendly informality and lack of etiquette (缺乏禮節).At a trade show,T-shirts,ties or a pin may be suitable souvenirs.Anything more than these types of gifts could cause embarrassment.
Greece
The most common form of showing appreciation in Greece is probably an evening's entertainment.If you are invited to a Greek home,flowers or a cake for the hostess is a fit gift.
Germany
A West Virginia executive (主管),visiting Germany for the first time,was invited to the home of his largest customer.He decided to bring his hostess a bouquet of flowers.He selected a dozen red roses.Oh!Terrible mistake!Flowers are often taken to a hostess of a dinner party at her home,but there are three taboos to remember:1)red roses signify a romantic interest.2)an even(偶數的)number of flowers stand for bad luck,as does the number thirteen.3)always unwrap the flowers before presenting them.This West Virginia executive was making what amounted to(等同于)a pass at his customer's wife.
Italy
When you are invited to a person's home for dinner,it might be nice to bring flowers or a box of chocolates for your hostess.And in Italy never send chrysanthemums(菊花).Since they suggest death.
