Grabbing a bowl of salad or a saltshaker as it's being passed to someone who asked for it is the equivalent of cutting in line: greedy and rude. 把原本要递给别人的沙拉碗或者盐瓶从半道截下来,这基本上就等于在说:你是个既贪婪又粗鲁的人。
When tucking into a meal in Egypt, by-pass the saltshaker. 在埃及吃饭,不要使用盐瓶。
Can you make that saltshaker talk, too? 你也可以让那个盐瓶讲话吗?
