In Church

　　Not only politeness but also an attitude ofreverence is demanded in church. If one is notfamiliar with1 the service, he may maintain arespectful silence, standing when others stand,sitting when they sit, and bowing during prayer. Onentering a church an usher2 will probably show youto a seat and it is polite to take the one indicated byhim, though it is quite proper to whisper a suggestion that one does not want to sit too far tothe front, or that one is a little deaf and would like to sit well forward.

　　It is usual for anyone attending church to take some money along for the offering, as it is aregular part of every church service and is used for the work of the church. Good clothes, butnever evening clothes, are worn to a church service. In some churches it is improper for a ladynot to wear a hat. It is impolite and disrespectful to talk or whisper, to eat or chew3anything, or to enter or leave during the service. One must come on time and stay till theservice is over. When the service is over, one passes quietly out of the church with the otherworshippers. In many churches it is considered irreverent to talk before one has reached theentrance hall.

　　Sometimes the "Lord's Supper" or "Communion4" is observed at the end of the service. This isa special service for the fellowship of Christians, and one is not supposed to5 participateunless he is a Christian. He may sit quietly and observe the service if he wishes.

　　在教堂

　　在教堂里, 人們不僅要有禮貌, 而且應(yīng)該懷有一種虔誠(chéng)的態(tài)度。如果你對(duì)教堂的儀式不熟悉, 你可以恭恭敬敬地默不作聲。在別人起立, 坐下或低頭祈禱時(shí), 你也起立, 坐下和低頭。進(jìn)入教堂的時(shí)候, 多半會(huì)有引座員帶你到座位上去, 你照他的意思坐在那里是一種有禮貌的表現(xiàn)。當(dāng)然你也完全可以低聲地表示你不愿坐得太靠后, 或者說(shuō)你有點(diǎn)聾, 喜歡坐在靠前面的地方。

　　通常來(lái)說(shuō), 去教堂的人都帶些錢, 以便捐獻(xiàn), 因?yàn)檫@是去教堂做禮拜的一項(xiàng)常規(guī), 這錢 主要用于教堂的日常工作。到教堂做禮拜時(shí)你應(yīng)該穿好一點(diǎn)的衣服, 但不可穿夜禮服。在 某些教堂里, 女士不戴帽子是不合時(shí)宜的。做禮拜時(shí), 談話或耳語(yǔ), 吃東西, 嚼東西或隨便 出入都是不禮貌的, 是一種粗魯無(wú)禮的表現(xiàn)。參加做禮拜的人必須準(zhǔn)時(shí)到場(chǎng), 而且要等到儀式結(jié)束之后才可以離去。禮拜儀式結(jié)束時(shí), 你應(yīng)該安靜地隨著其他信徒走出教堂。有不 少教堂認(rèn)為, 沒(méi)有走到教堂的門廊就說(shuō)話是不虔誠(chéng)的表現(xiàn)。

　　有時(shí), 在禮拜結(jié)束的時(shí)候, 教堂還會(huì)舉行圣餐儀式。這是基督徒的一種特殊儀式。你 如果不是基督徒, 就不能領(lǐng)圣餐, 不能參加這種儀式。如果你愿意的話, 你可以靜靜地坐在那里, 觀看這種儀式。
