关于如何取代握手和贴面，法国的报纸上有多种建议。在法国，握手是职场的日常礼节，亲吻脸颊是一种常规的问候习惯，即使是在初识的人们之间也是如此。

Lifestyle expert Philippe Lichtfus, who has been widely cited in the media, insists that handshakes are a relatively recent development in human history that began in the Middle Ages.

被媒体广泛引用的生活方式专家菲利普·利希特弗斯坚持认为，在人类历史上，握手是相对较晚才发展起来的问候形式，始于中世纪。

suffice [səˈfaɪs]：vt.使满足；足够…用；合格
