美國留學(xué)生活安全常識
適應留學(xué)環(huán)境的最好辦法就是首先融入那里的生活習俗，那么如何適應美國留學(xué)生活呢?需要從日常生活的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴做起，下面就和出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)小編一起來(lái)看看吧。
盡管生活習慣不同，風(fēng)土民情有異，但只要平日多用心看，多用心聽(tīng)，則在這個(gè)生活中的自然教室里，所收獲到的將不僅是生活小點(diǎn)滴，更重要的是累積了文化大常識。一方面使自己得以經(jīng)濟實(shí)惠的方式處理生活瑣事，如食、衣、購物、安全等;另方面透過(guò)生活體驗，從點(diǎn)滴的美國日常生活，體味中西方文化交融。
安全
1、住宿安全：
使用水電、瓦斯應加小心。出門(mén)前，應注意電器及瓦斯開(kāi)關(guān)及門(mén)窗是否關(guān)閉。
家中之油煙警報器應保持使用狀態(tài)，勿因炒菜油煙過(guò)多將總開(kāi)關(guān)關(guān)閉后忘了再度開(kāi)啟。
小心火災，并留意逃生路線(xiàn)及出口。平日應將消防隊、警察局電話(huà)號碼貼在電話(huà)附近。
重要證件宜留復印件。證件號碼、信用卡號碼都應另外記錄下來(lái)，若非必要，不要隨身攜帶重要證件及所有信用卡。
外出旅游時(shí)，若時(shí)間超過(guò)一星期以上者，可通知郵差及報館暫停送信及服務(wù)，或請親友鄰居代為處理。
2、行路或行車(chē)安全：
住大城市中或學(xué)校附近，若治安不佳時(shí)，夜間盡量少在外逗留。如有事外出，最好成群結伴。在校園內，則可充分利用學(xué)校所提供之安全設施，如校車(chē)或校警護送。
隨身勿攜帶太多現金，但應準備小額零錢(qián)或現金，以防歹徒要挾或強要小費。避免在夜間使用提款卡提款，提款時(shí)應注意四方有無(wú)可疑人士窺視。路中遇可疑的人最好轉向，朝人多處快速走去，避免與其同行。
在大城市觀(guān)光，相機、攝影機最好放在背包中，同時(shí)不要邊走邊看地圖。乘坐地鐵前應先預記好路線(xiàn)及轉車(chē)地點(diǎn)，除非必要，盡量少看地圖。若搭錯線(xiàn)，則可查看貼于車(chē)廂內的地圖，或詢(xún)問(wèn)列車(chē)長(cháng)。盡量不要太早或太晚搭乘地鐵，如不得已，可搭出租車(chē)。
行車(chē)經(jīng)過(guò)治安不佳的地區時(shí)，應將門(mén)窗上鎖。車(chē)內勿放置貴重物品，即使普通物品也以少放為宜。
進(jìn)出機場(chǎng)，應小心看護行李，貴重行李及證件也應隨身攜帶。
原文來(lái)源：
紐約有什么風(fēng)俗禁忌？
美國人忌諱“13”、“星期五”、“3”，認為這些數字和日期是厄運和災難的象征。另外，在美國旅行，注意種族歧視語(yǔ)也是很重要的部分。由于美國黑人在歷史上倍受歧視，過(guò)去那些用來(lái)咒罵黑人的種族歧視語(yǔ)變得敏感起來(lái)，變成了禁忌語(yǔ)。比如，nigger 就是侮辱性色彩強烈的完全禁忌語(yǔ)，一定注意不要使用。
有沒(méi)有關(guān)于英國或美國的禮儀
British table manners
The fork is held in your left hand and the knife is held in your right.
You should hold your knife with the handle in your palm and your fork in the other hand with the prongs pointing downwards.
If you’re eating a dessert, your fork (if you have one) should be held in the left hand and the spoon in the right.
When eating soup, you should hold your spoon in your right hand and tip the bowl away from you, scooping the soup in movements away from yourself.
It is not acceptable to use your fingers at the table to eat or push food onto your fork. You may, however, eat some foods such as fruit, sandwiches, hamburgers, crisps, chips or pizza with your fingers.
If there are a number of knives or forks, then you should start from the outside set working your way in as each course is served.
Drinks should always be to the right of your plate with the bread roll to the left.
When eating bread rolls, break off a piece before buttering. Use your knife only to butter the bread, not to cut it.
You should not start eating before your host does or instructs you to do so. At larger meals, it is considered okay to start eating once others have been served.
When you’re finished, place your knife and fork together at five o’clock with your fork on the left (tines facing up) and knife on the right, with the knife blade facing in. This signals that you are finished.
Your napkin should never be screwed up. Nor should it be folded neatly as that would suggest that your host might plan to use it again without washing it - just leave is neatly but loosely.
Never blow your nose on your napkin. Place it on your lap and use it to dab your mouth if you make a mess.
It is considered rude to answer the telephone at the table. If you need to take an urgent call, excuse yourself and go outside.
Always ask for permission from the host and excuse yourself if you need to leave the table. You should place your napkin on your seat until you return.
If you must leave the table or are resting, your fork should be at eight o’clock and your knife at four o’clock (with the blade inwards). Once an item of cutlery has been used, it should not touch the table again.
The food should be brought to your mouth on the fork; you should sit straight and not lean towards your plate.
Dishes should be served from the right, and taken away from the right. Unless the food is placed on your plate at the table, then it should arrive from the left.
Drinks should be served from the right.
Never lean across somebody else’s plate. If you need something to be passed, ask the person closest to it. If you have to pass something, only pass it if you are closest to it and pass it directly to them if you can.
Salt & pepper should be passed together.
Do not take food from a neighbour’s plate and don’t ask to do so.
You must not put your elbows on the table.
If pouring a drink for yourself, offer to pour a drink for your neighbours before serving yourself.
If extra food is on the table, ask others first if they would like it before taking it yourself.
When chewing food, close your mouth and only talk when you have swallowed it.
Swallow all food before eating more or having a drink.
Do not slurp your food or eat loudly. Burping or sneezing at the table should be avoided, too.
Never pick food out of your teeth with your fingernails.
Try to eat all the food you are served.
Glasses served in a wine glass or other stemmed-glass should be held at the stem.
Always remember “regular” manners. Remember to say please and thank you.
