西方礼仪禁忌贴士：如何有效利用图书馆

在图书馆学习时，我总是遇到一些人，把图书馆当成大型私人电话亭，不停煲电话粥，还时不时因为不太好笑的笑话而大笑，乃至于被周围人一致鄙视。我记得有一次，有些人说着话横穿图书馆，从图书馆这头到那头的路上，基本上一直在和对方大声嚷嚷。还有一次，坐在我旁边的人，一边大声咀嚼三明治，一边讲话大笑，就像图书馆是公共餐厅似的。

Who are the worst culprits?

谁是罪魁祸首？

The thing is, you never know who is going to be a library disrupter: they come in all shapes and sizes. More often than not you’re sitting next to someone who looks like a regular quiet studious person – and then they turn out to be one of the worst offenders.

其实，你永远不知道谁会破坏图书馆的安静氛围：各色各样的人都有可能。很多时候，你坐在一个看上去循规蹈矩、安静勤奋的人旁边，可是随后你却发现，他们就是那些最令人讨厌的噪音制造者。

How do you deal with it?

如何应对？

To deal with this problem there are a couple of tactics. Luckily there’s a camaraderie between the other library users who are unwilling listeners to the loud conversation going on around them and there is an unspoken concerted effort to get them to shut up or leave. This can come in the form of dirty looks and shushes from the surrounding people. Eventually, if this doesn’t work, nicely asking them to quiet down or take their conversation outside usually works, but can also be a loud and shouty proposition.
