When you introduce people to each other,the first rule is to remember the names of everyone you're introducing.The person whose name you mention first is quite important;lower status (地位) people are always introduced to higher status people.“High” status should be reserved (保留) for Presidents,Prime Ministers and your parents.
If you are still not clear,use this tip (提示) as a way to remember whose name goes first:Mr CEO,I'd like you to meet Mr Intern.
There are many rules about who is supposed to be introduced to whom.Please remember the rules below:
①Men are introduced to women,so the woman's name is said first:Betty,I'd like you to meet Barney.
②Younger people are always introduced to older people,so the older person's name is said first:Grandma,I'd like you to meet my teenage friend.
At an introduction,a handshake is not always required.A man always waits for the woman to hold out her hand,and a younger always waits for the elder to hold out his or her hand.
After being introduced,the person whose name comes second in the introduction is supposed to start a small conversation.Say anything except the others' looks.Don't talk about politics (政治) and religion (宗教).Comment on the party,or about the weather,or the beautiful pictures on the wall.This small talk is not to collect information but to connect (联系) on a onetoone level.
