Every Chinese-language textbook starts out with the standard phrases for greeting people;but as an American,I always found myself   36   to speak freely when it came to seeing guests off at the door.Just a good-bye would not do,yet that was all I had ever learned from the   37   books.So I would smile and nod,bowing like a Japanese and searching madly for words that would   38   over the visitor's leaving and make them feel they would be   39   to come again.In my unease,I often hid behind the skirts of my Chinese husband's kindness.

Then finally,listening to others,I began to pick up the phrases that   40   relationships and sent people off not only successfully but also skillfully.

  41   for the Chinese includes a lot of necessary habitual practice.Although as a   42  ,I'm not expected to observe or even know all the rules,I've had to learn the expressions of politeness and   43   at a leaving-taking.

The Chinese feel they   44   see a guest off to the farthest possible point-down the flight of stairs to the street below or perhaps all the way to the   45   bus stop.I've sometimes waited half an hour or more for my husband to return from seeing a guest off,  46   he's gone to the bus stop and waited for the   47   bus to arrive.

That's very well,but when I'm the guest being seen off,my protests are always   48  .My hostess or host,or both,insists on   49   me down the stairs and well on my way,with my repeating the “Don't   50   to see me off at the every landing”.If I try to go fast to   51   them from following,they are simply out to the discomfort of having to run after me.Better to accept the inevitable (不可避免的).

Besides,that’s going against Chinese   52  ,because haste (doing things quickly) is to be avoided.What do you say when you   53   someone？Not “farewell or Godspeed (祝福)”,  54   “Go slowly”.To the Chinese it means “Take care” or“Watch your  55  ”,or some such caution(谨慎),but translated literally (字面意思) it means “Go slowly.”
