Etiquette禮儀 is the set of formal rules是一套正式的規矩， for polite behaviour in a group用來規範一群人裡有禮貌的行為—— how to eat, greet, dress, or write該怎麼吃飯、打招呼、穿著或寫東西， so you do not embarrass yourself or other people才不會讓自己或別人難堪。There is table etiquette, business etiquette, wedding etiquette有餐桌禮儀、商業禮儀、婚禮禮儀。

It is not the same as being kind. You can follow etiquette and still feel cold; you can break it and still be a good person.

It is not the same as being kind這跟「人很好」不一樣。You can follow etiquette你可以照著禮儀做 and still feel cold卻還是很冷淡； you can break it你也可以不照著做 and still be a good person卻還是個好人。

Though actually, older speakers often treat etiquette as serious and rather fixed, while younger people may call the same rules stiff and follow a looser politeness. The word itself feels a little formal, even a little old-fashioned, in everyday talk; people also say manners or “what’s polite here.” In a club, an office, or an online group, “the etiquette” can mean “how we do things,” even when nobody wrote the rules down.

Though actually不過其實， older speakers年紀大一點的人 often treat etiquette as serious and rather fixed常把禮儀看得很嚴肅、很固定， while younger people而年輕人 may call the same rules stiff可能會覺得同樣的規矩很死板 and follow a looser politeness而選擇一種比較鬆的禮貌方式。The word itself這個字本身 feels a little formal, even a little old-fashioned, in everyday talk在日常對話裡聽起來有點正式，甚至有點老派； people also say manners or “what’s polite here.”人們也會說 manners 或「這裡怎樣算有禮貌」。In a club, an office, or an online group在社團、辦公室，或是線上社群裡， “the etiquette” can mean “how we do things,”「the etiquette」可以指「我們這裡的做法」， even when nobody wrote the rules down即使沒有人把規矩白紙黑字寫下來。
