B: Not at all! It shows you are enjoying their company too, and if their offer to leave seems tentative, it is far friendlier to say, “Oh, don’t go, it’s Friday night and we can all sleep late tomorrow morning.” than to jump up and bring them their coats the minute someone says, “Well, it’s getting late…” If, however, they really must leave, one suggestion that they stay is enough. Don’t force them to remain if they have a babysitter waiting or are firm in their resolve to go.

B：一点儿也不！这只表示你也乐于与他们相处，而且与其在有人说：“嗯，天不早了……”的时候，就立即跳起来去取他们的外套，不如这样说要礼貌得多：“哦，别走——这是星期五的晚上，明天早上我们大家都可以晚起呢。”但是如果他们执意走，只提议他们别走也就够了。如果他们有个临时保姆在家里等着，或者他们去意已决，就不要留他们。

B: You must refuse to serve him or her more liquor. He or she may become insulted and abusive, but that is preferable to having him or her become more intoxicated. You are then responsible for seeing that a drunken guest is taken home by asking a good friend to take him or her, or you can go yourself if the distance isn’t great, or you can call a cab, give the directions, and pay for it.

B：你必须拒绝再给他或她倒酒。他或她也许会恼羞成怒，出言不逊，但这也比让他或她喝得酩酊大醉更可取。那时你就有责任请一位好朋友将喝醉的客人送回家；或者，如果距离不远的话，你也可以亲自送其回家或叫一辆出租车，指明路线，并付车费。

A: I got drunk at a party. Should I have called my hosts the next day and apologized?

A：在一次宴会上我喝醉了。请问第二天我应给主人打电话道歉吗？
1704998450
1704998451
B: Yes. If your behavior was insulting or rude and if you disrupted the party, you should apologize immediately. If you felt yourself getting drunk, however, and left the party without embarrassing yourself, the other guests, or your hosts, there is really little to apologize for except perhaps an early departure.
1704998452
1704998453
B：是的。如果你当时举止粗鲁无礼，或者打断了宴会的话，应立即道歉。不过，如果你在觉得自己开始不胜酒力的时候就离席，没有使你自己、别的客人以及你的主人难堪，也就实在没什么可以道歉的——除非自己离开过早。

A：我可以提出帮助女主人上菜或撤席吗？
1704998458
1704998459
B: Yes, you may offer, but don’t insist if she refuses your help. Most hostesses want you to relax or prefer to follow their own system of organization by themselves.
1704998460
1704998461
B：是的，你可以提出来，但如果女主人拒绝你的帮助，就别坚持。多数女主人都希望你轻松轻松或者宁愿按照她们自己的组织方式来行事。
