Visitors to Italy often have cheek (脸颊) kissing anxiety (焦虑). When to kiss, how many kisses, the left cheek, the right cheek, or ________ cheeks? Have you ever greeted an Italian by going for a cheek kiss, ________ they only give you a handshake and a happy “Buongiorno” or “Piacere”? Different cultures often have different kissing rules, but the bottom line to the kissing trouble is this: When in doubt, don’t do it!
Some things to ________ before offering a cheek kiss include how well you know the person. Most Italians are warm. They especially ________ kisses from close friends and family, but a handshake is the ________ of greeting other people.
Don’t kiss someone you have ________ met before. Don’t be a consistent (始终如一的) kisser. If you greet someone with a kiss, don’t ________ to say, “Arrivederci (Goodbye).” It is polite. Offering your hand for a handshake after a hello kiss sends a bad ________.
If you have a close cheek-to-cheek relationship, then start on the right and graze (轻擦) the cheek of the other person with your own, and make the “Moi, Moi” or any other ________ into the other person’s ear. Then turn to the left check and ________ it. But you may find that in some parts of Italy, they start on the left cheek and then the right. When in doubt, stop and ________ your Italian friend.
Usually the cheek kissing is between women and women and men and women, but there are ________ in Italy, mostly in the south, where men greet others with kisses on either check. Some Italian women don’t like the kiss from some men, so the ________ way for a man visiting Italy is to offer a handshake.
The number one ________ full of danger is when a foreigner meets a foreigner. If the person is a friend, or a friend of a friend’s, do you stay with the ________ of Italy or fall back on the etiquette (礼仪) of the homeland? It’s probably the safest way to stay with the handshake until your relationship rises to the level of closeness that calls for kisses.
