禮儀
電視新聞上,曾蔭權與陳馮富珍見面,二話不說先互親面頰,不過是一個過鏡,看過了就忘不了,還順便想起了之前兩天教統局的兩位頭頭擁抱作別的親熱場面。
幾時開始我們的官員作興這套「西方」禮儀?提到西方要用上括號,皆因西方之幅員廣闊,也不是一套禮數走天涯的,數月前,孔少林在《信報》考察過各地吻臉的規距,雖然看來是遊戲文章,箇中還是有一點學問,我最有共鳴的是,在香港這「國際大都會」生活,到底幾時需要來這一套比握手高一級的見面禮?面對真洋人,我心裡多少還有點底,最怕假洋人,明明不熟,卻忽然在道別時來一個擁抱 - 我演技不好,這些時刻,我的不自在,不要說抱我那位,連路人甲都應該可以在一公里外嗅到。
兩則新聞的主角自在否?
我不知道。
後話:年少時跟書友仔玩過碟仙,人人都問的一條問題是長大後做甚麼工作。碟仙指路,說我日後是「卿」。當年我們知道卿可解作女子和官,女子我是當定的,大家都認為,我長大了是官。今天看來,連對這點禮儀都有話說,我絕不是當官材料......
11月6日再補充:
正在讀Kate Fox(2004)的Watching the English: The hidden rules of English Behavior,碰巧提到英國人對這禮儀的看法,引述如下:
"As it is, our introductions and greetings tend to be uncomfortable, clumsy and inelegant. Among established friends, there is less awkwardness, although we are often still not quite sure what to do with our hands, or whether to hug or kiss. The French custom of a kiss on each cheek has become popular among the chattering classes and some other middle-and upper-middle-class groups, but is regarded as silly and pretentious by many other sections of society, particularly when it takes the form of the 'air-kiss'...Even in the social circles where cheek-kissing is acceptable, one can still never be entirely sure whether one kiss or two is required, resulting in much awkward hesitation and bumping as the parties try to second-guess each other." (p.37-8)
非常有趣的一本書,好幾次,我在巴士上讀得不亦樂乎,以至傻笑起來......

如果我係頭條新聞,一定用《浮誇》黎襯呢條片。
啊哈 这位碟仙颇文雅
我也曾玩过笔仙的游戏 问的东西已不大记得 只记得那位笔仙大人自称是火星人
世界上还真有诸多不可思议的神奇事物……
对不起 似乎跑题了^^ 明明在讲所谓西方礼仪这回事
但看到最后一段忍不住会心一笑 注意力还是被吸引走了
這位文雅的碟仙說自己是宋朝人!!
回想起來,當年膽子還真不小,太小覷這些不可思議的神怪力量了。
补充那段看了 原来就算有些洋人也是不太受得了的 我个人反正每次碰到要来拥抱的 必然先起一身鸡皮疙瘩 然后一身僵硬地等着人家来抱
突然发现原来这个blog也是日本的空间?
