(I): And what does that tell us about eating?
(S): Well, what that tells us about eating is two things, which is never confusing your guests with either the food or the enemy. Don’t eat them and don’t kill them. That’s about how you should hold your knife, because actually manners are really about the reduction of violence. There’s a lot in there about reducing violence. So that’s just an illustration of what one tries to do so actually when you look at real table manners they’re about people feeling comfortable with each other, sharing food around a table. It’s a very important human thing.
(I): And are things actually getting worse?
(S): Very broadly speaking, we all rub along together pretty well actually. We don’t do so badly. The trouble with bad manners is that when you experience it, it completely occupies your field of vision. So you feel completely knocked back and rather hurt by somebody.
(I): Should foreigners, say, comply with British manners when in Britain or just be themselves?
(S): Well, I think one issue we should be very gentle with is because we’re not terribly good at understanding that there are lots of different customs from around the world, so you know, be gentle. But I think the thing what I would say to anybody going to any other culture, any other country in the world: Number one — be curious, ask questions if possible. The other thing is don’t think there’s a right and a wrong way to do things in terms of little funny details. Always remember that fundamentals matter more than anything else. "Please" and "Thank You" is a gift and a grace in any language so treat people in the fundamental purpose of manners which is to make life easier. If I can give you a definition of manners, it is the reduction of actual or potential violence between strangers. So always seek to defuse conflict, always seek to reach out and offer yourself to other people, always seek to open the door and let them through. Always do those kinds of things because actually you’ll find people love it and they’ll respond to you.
(I): Simon Fanshawe, it would be very bad manners of me not to say, "thank you" for coming to talk to us. So, thank you very much for all the useful information and advice you have given to us.
(S): My pleasure.

解析
推断题。采访最后Simon对礼貌规范做了简短总结,他建议如果我们前往其他国家就需要保持一颗好奇心,多问问题,不要拘泥于细节,永远记住基本的礼仪规范比什么都重要,并设法化解冲突,即:Number one—be curious,ask questions if possible.The other thing is don’t think there’s a right and a wrong way to do things in terms of little funny details.Always remember that fundamentals maner more than anything else…So always seek to defuse conflict…选项A是拘泥于细节的表现,并不是Simon所建议的,所以答案为A。
