十种令其他国家居民抓狂的行为

4. Eating With Your Left Hand

4. 用左手吃东西

If you're in the Middle East, India, or Africa, be careful not to use your left hand when eating and passing food – only use the right. The left hand is known to be unclean and used for matters done in the bathroom, so eating with it will probably give you unwanted stares from the locals who've already lost their appetites.

你要是在中东地区、印度或是非洲，小心别用左手吃东西或传递食物，一定要只用右手。对他们而言，如厕时用到的左手不干净，所以当看到你用左手吃东西时，失去食欲的当地人很可能会瞪着你，这也是你不想看到的场景。

5. Say America!

5. 回答说“America”！

If you're an American and you're in South America, remember to answer USA or United States when someone asks you “Where are you from?”. Saying “America” makes it look like you're only referring to the USA as the only America when there's also South America. Clear?

如果你是生活在南美洲的美国人，当别人问你“你来自哪？”时，记着回答“USA”或“United States”。你如果回答“America”，这会看起来像，明明还有南美洲，你却只把美国人称作美洲人。清楚了吗？

6. Send Even Numbers

6. 送的东西是偶数个。

If you want to send flowers to a friend in Ukraine as a romantic or friendly gift, make sure you give an odd number of flowers. Sending an even number of flowers is only meant for funerals.
