THE DONE THING
Book ID/图书代码： 11320005B04990
English Summary/英文概要： Are manners in Britain terrible? Are we not treating each other with respect? Can we find new rules to live by for the new century?
This book is a witty, clever and well argued campaign for manners. It doesn’t mind how you hold your knife or which way you pass the port. But it cares passionately whether you open a door, treat women and men with respect, be decent to your colleagues, know how to use your mobile phone in public, be considerate, thoughtful and polite so that life is easier and better to live.
It is riding the zeitgeist. Everybody is talking about manners. The Done Thing will guide you through the fundamental principles on which the manners that matter are based at weddings and funerals, in cities, at the table, in conversation, at work and in love.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 英国人的礼仪是不是很糟糕？我们是不是不再彼此尊重？新世纪是不是应该选择新的行为准则？
这是一本献给所有大言不惭希望整个世界有礼貌的作品。这是我们和谐生活的实质，我们在试图寻找彼此都以达成共识的适应这样一个变化莫测、变数颇多、没有任何责任心可言的新世界的生活准则。
没人再愿意伏首称臣听命于过了时的礼节，我们要挖掘出礼仪准则的最原始的社会意义，然后很好地把他们运用到当代人的生活中。我们需要条条框框约束我们互敬互尊，并且许诺遵守。Simon Fanshawe很巧妙地把历史、人文、常识以及对传统主义者愚蠢的势力行为诙谐的嘲讽都糅合在了一起，借鉴了阿拉斯莫斯（1530）的那部有关行为准则的巨作 De civilitate morum puerilium libellus的模式，并为摩登时代的礼仪准则打下了扎实的基础。
所以不管你把餐桌的左舷往右倾还是向左倾，只要它往一个方向走的话----这样每个人都可以喝东西了，那就没关系了。随便怎样拿你的刀，只要不把刀当成凶器用的话和你就餐的陌生人就不会觉得你是在吓唬他们。不管是约会、吃饭、工作、说话、穿着、打手机，给小费，带你的孩子外出吃饭，你爱怎么就可以怎么做只要你做的方式没有伤害到别人就可以。这是一次运动，大家都来参与吧，一起前进，口号就是：礼貌是一切社交活动的前奏。
