The most common form of showing appreciation in Greece is probably an evening’s entertainment. If you do present a gift, avoid personal items, such as ties and shirts. If you are invited to a Greek home, flowers or a cake for the hostess are an appropriate gift.
在希腊,表达感激之情最常见的方式可能就是晚间娱乐活动。如果你要送礼,不要送一些过于亲昵的东西,比如领带衬衣之类。如果希腊人邀请你去其家做客,给女主人送上鲜花或者蛋糕就很合适了。

When you are invited to a person’s home for dinner, it might be nice to bring flowers or a box of chocolates for your hostess, although it is just as considerate to have the flowers sent the next day. 来源:考试大
Yellow roses can signify “jealousy.” And in Italy never send chrysanthemums7, since they suggest death.
当你受邀至某户人家共进晚餐时,为女主人带上几束花或者一盒巧克力就可以啦,不过当然你要是第二天再送花的话,也可算是考虑周到了。
黄玫瑰寓意着“嫉妒”。在意大利人们从来不送菊花,因为这暗示死亡。
● Australia
澳大利亚 来源:考试大
Australia is known for its friendly informality and lack of pretentiousness8. So modest gifts, such as a business diary, a paperweight, or a coffee mug might be presented as a memento9 of a visit of business meeting. At a trade show, T-shirts, ties, baseball caps, or a pin may be appropriate mementos. Anything more than these types of gifts could cause embarrassment. 来源:考试大
澳大利亚以其友好,不拘礼节及坦诚而闻名,所以在参加商务会议时,送上一个商用记事本、纸镇或一个咖啡杯再合适不过了。在商业展览上,赠送T恤衫、领带、棒球帽或者一个大头针最合适做纪念品了。若送比这些东西贵重的礼品反而会致人尴尬。
