英语课
Tu: So Amir, tell me a bit about Iran people. How do they show affection to each other?
 
Amir: Oh, they do show affection. Yeah, but it matters, actually whether you are in the public sight or you're at your home, where you can just freely show your affections.
 
Iran, as you know, is an Islamic Republic of Iran, so the rules of Islam is very much taken seriously in the public. In the public, men and women don't hug.
 
Well, if it is a mother and a son, it's fine, but other than that where you don't share blood, you don't actually show that much affection or closeness or, you know, touching 1, in the sense of greeting even. You don't do that.
 
But at home, we are very, very open with our emotions and we show our affections. So we kiss. We kiss each other for just greeting, like normally it's three kiss on the cheek, so first left, right, left.
 
Tu: Three kiss?
 
Amir: Yeah.
 
Tu: At one time?
 
Amir: In public, men and women don't of course kiss each other.
 
So, what about Vietnam?
 
Tu: Yeah, it's pretty much the same in our country. Like you know, in public, people don't do - show that much direct like affection like hugging or especially kissing. I think we missed kissing, you know. Usually, it's only lovers kiss, and even mother and child, they don't kiss.
