文明

中国很倡导文明这两个字。到处都能看到有关文明的招牌标志,例如文明过马路,文明先下后上,文明排队,文明这文明那,还有就是这一个文明如厕。难道,文明也需要人来提醒吗?有多少次在公交地铁里被人撞到又没有道歉后而郁闷,有多少次排队买票或银行里被插队后而生气。看来,文明还是一种新时尚,需要一种不断地宣传,才能真正的普及起来。

China really is an advocate of "civilized manners." You can see signs and posters everywhere promoting civilized manners. For instance, civilized crossing road, civilized let the people off the train first before getting in, civilized queue up, civilized this, civilized that, and this one, civilized pee! It makes me wonder, do we really need all these to remind us to be civilized? However, honestly I don't remember how many times I have got pissed off on the street when people pump me (either accidentally or purposely) without apologizing, and how many times I have got upset when someone just cut in the queue. I guess, civilized manner is still a new fashion trend here, which requires continuous and a lot of promotion, so that it could become commonly-aware.
