Take forms of address (称呼)for example. The average English person— 4 he happens to work in a hotel or department store —would rather die than call a stranger “Sir” or “Madam”. Yet in some European countries this is the most basic of common address. Our 5 “you” for everyone may appear more democratic, but it means that we are forced to seek out complicated ways to express 6 . I am all for returning to the use of “thee” and “thou”(Thee and thou are old-fashioned poetic words for “you” “you” would be 7 for strangers and professional relationships. And of course, the English find touching and other shows of friendship truly terrifying. Have you noticed that the British 8 ever touch? Personally, I find the Latin habit of shaking hands or a friendly kiss quite charming. Try kissing the average English person, and they will either take two steps backwards in horror, or, if their escape is 9 , you will find your lips touching the back of their head.
