每个国家不同的文化传统往往会衍生出不同的礼仪习俗，因此每个国家以示友好的见面礼仪也各有千秋。即使人们知道如何嘘寒问暖，但在陌生的国度如何大方得体地行见面礼仪却着实让人为难。下面就来看一下不同国家的有什么不同的见面礼仪文化！

美国 THE UNITED STATES

A good ol' handshake will do. Or a fist bump, because they're less germ-y, and because Obama gives us permission.

美国人见面会握手或者碰拳头，这样可以减少细菌的传播，美国总统奥巴马也很赞同这样的问候方式。

How To Non-Awkwardly Greet People From Different Countries

意大利、西班牙和大部分欧洲国家 ITALY, SPAIN AND MUCH OF EUROPE

Go for two quick cheek kisses: first on the right, then on the left. And if you don't know someone well, they may settle for a handshake. This is the standard for most places in Europe.

在意大利、西班牙和欧洲大部分国家，两个人打招呼的方式都是走上前快速地亲吻彼此的脸颊：先是右侧，然后左侧。如果彼此不太了解对方，也可以通过握手以示友好。这种打招呼方式在大多数欧洲国家是一种惯例。

法国 FRANCE

The bise (yes, it's notorious enough for a name) is complicated: Offer your right cheek as a starting point. The ensuing number of kisses will vary by region, anywhere from one kiss in certain areas to five kisses in huge swaths of the north. Just go with it.

法国的亲吻礼仪比较复杂：先亲吻对方的右侧脸颊，亲吻的次数会因为不同的地区而有所差异，有些地区只吻一下，而在法国北部的大部分地区见面需要亲吻五下。注意灵活地随机应变就好了。

德国 GERMANY

The cheek kiss remains common here, but you'll usually get only one, on the left. Ever the stoic sort, some Germans have recently called to abolish the kiss, which they say snuck its way into their culture from other countries (ahem, France).

亲吻面颊在德国很常见,不过通常只是在脸颊左侧亲吻一下。一些德国斯多葛派人士和部分德国人最近呼吁废除这一见面习俗,他们认为亲吻面颊是异族文化入侵德国文化的一种表现。

英国 THE UK

Fancy folk might go for the kiss, inspired by the fancy European nations which surround them. But unless you want your buddy to "recoil in horror," just stick to a handshake.

英国民间见面亲吻的习俗很奇特，灵感可能源于他们周围的欧洲国家。你也可以坚持只和他握手。

荷兰 THE NETHERLANDS

The norm here is precisely three kisses, always performed right-left-right. Vague acquaintances won't kiss, and neither will two men.

荷兰的亲吻面颊礼仪是要按照脸颊右侧-左侧-右侧的顺序亲吻三下。关系一般的人之间以及两个男人之间是不会亲吻面颊的。

希腊 GREECE

Shake hands for acquaintances, but hug and kiss with someone closer. A two-cheek kiss is almost always accompanied by a back "clap," which can tend to come out more like a well-choreographed slap.

在希腊，熟人间以握手示友好，而亲近的人则是通过拥抱和亲吻。他们除了亲吻彼此脸颊两下以外，还伴着“拍手”一次，这样的方式使得他们的亲吻看起来更像是精心设计的一记“耳光”。

巴西 BRAZIL

Women greet with a kiss more often than men do -- two kisses will get you by in Rio, but the official number can vary from one to three depending on where you are. Single women have been known to toss in a third kiss, even in regions where two is the norm.

巴西女性之间亲吻面颊比男性要频繁得多，如在里约热内卢两个人打招呼要吻彼此脸颊两下，但官方统计的数据显示在巴西不同的地区亲吻脸颊的次数从一次到三次不等。单身女性一般要亲吻三次，不过在某些地区，亲吻两次更常见。

阿根廷 ARGENTINA

The South Americans are known to be touch-y, even to new acquaintances. Go in for a casual hug (but not a full-on embrace), with a single kiss on the right cheek.

南美人通常很敏感，新朋友之间亦是如此。一般见面就很随性地拥抱一下(但并不完全拥抱)，然后在对方右侧脸颊亲吻一下。

澳大利亚 AUSTRALIA

A handshake and "G'day" are the standard for your first meeting, but closer friends might issue one cheek kiss.

澳大利亚人第一次见面通常会握手，然后问候“你好!”但亲近的朋友间也许会亲吻侧面脸颊以示友好。

泰国 THAILAND

Press your palms together in a prayer pose, and bow your forehead to touch your fingertips. It's called the wai -- the higher your hands are, the more respect you're showing.

在泰国，人们打招呼通常先双手合十做祈祷的姿势，然后弓着额头触碰指尖。这在泰国被称为“wai”——手的位置越高，表示对对方越尊重。

印度 INDIA

People know to shake hands with Westerners, but if you're meeting a local and want to issue a typical greeting, place your palms together in prayer position, tip your head forward (but don't do a full bow), and say "Namaste."

印度人都知道要和西方人握手，但如果遇见的是当地人并想以传统的方式问候，可以双手合十做祈祷的姿势，头向前倾(但不要鞠躬)，然后说“Namaste”(印度合十礼)。
