Shake hands? No, we have new greetings
疫情中，我们怎样打招呼?
The epidemic (疫情) has changed our lives. It not only forces us to stay at home, but also changes the way we work, study, and even go shopping. In many countries, the novel coronavirus (新冠病毒) has also changed the way people greet each other. To help stop the spread of coronavirus, people give up their usual greeting styles (方式) and invent safe ways. Let’s take a look!
No kissing, even if you are French
Lean forward (倾身向前), touch cheeks (脸颊) and make a kissing sound. This is French people’s favorite way of greeting. It’s very romantic. But when facing the virus, too many kisses are not good.
Etiquette (礼仪) expert Philippe Lichtfus gives everyone in France a suggestion: simply looking into a person’s eyes can be a greeting. It’s not as romantic as kissing. But it’s safe.
Grandma knows best
Like the French, Italians (意大利人) are also romantic people. When they meet, they always hug or kiss each other. Recently, an Italian grandma made a video to help everyone fight the disease. According to her, if you want to say hello to others, do not hug or kiss. Instead (取而代之地), you can close one of your eyes and give them a wink (眨眼). Tada! Isn’t it cute?
Pat on the back
It’s a very Australian thing to put your hand out to shake hands. But if you do this, the virus can jump from one person to another. Now a health official (官员) in Australia named Brad Hazzard says a pat (拍打) on the back would be better. But it also has some problems. For example, it’s a bit impolite if you do this to your teacher. What do you think?
Is the footshake the new handshake?
A video shows that an interesting way to greet others is now popular in Iran (伊朗). In the video, three Iran men meet and tap (敲) their feet against each other. They wear masks and put their hands in their pockets. It looks like they are playing a fun game. If we cannot shake hands, why not try to “shake” feet?
Did you know?
Sylvie Braind is the World Health Organization’s director of pandemic and epidemic diseases department (世卫组织传染病危害管理部门主管). He said we can use three greetings:
Waving 挥手
Thai "wai" 泰式合十礼
Bumping elbows 碰肘
