When you hear Westerners(西方人) say "Drop in anytime(随时来玩)." or "Come and see me soon.", you should realize
that it doesn't mean you are welcome
to come over to their house anytime. It's wise to telephone
before visiting someone.
Never accept an invitation unless you really
plan to go. You may refuse by saying, "Thank you for inviting me, but I may not
be able to come." If you are unable to come after accepting
the invitation, be sure to tell those who invite you in advance(提前) that you will not
be there.
When you have accepted the invitation to a party
or a dinner, it is polite(有礼貌的) to bring small gifts with you, such as
bottles of drink, flowers and chocolate. Sometimes Westerners may take you out to
dinner in a restaurant and it does not necessarily mean that he is going to pay
the bill at the end of the meal. He might want you to "go Dutch", which means each person
pays his own bill.
