评分Sir David Tang had the perfect background and taste to advocate such rules for sure! The book consists of numerous small pieces of articles which have obscure words and sentences decorated in exquisite taste. But it is still very funny and witty! How to live a modern life is a new challenge for me now since it changed my opinions from past a lot!
评分牙尖啊 哈哈哈哈 喜欢了
评分If tortured for advice, I suppose the crest should face oneself, as it should be worn for pride and not for flaunting????作者已经跻身aristocracy阶层,但大多数时候还是trying too hard的感觉,这对一本英国文化背景的小品文来说非常致命了
评分It is a misconception that money purchases style. On the contrary, money often destroys style. Agony uncle教大家什么叫charm,但话说这些东西本来就教不了啊。。
Sir David Tang is founder of the China Club, Shanghai Tang and China Exchange. Prior to his career in business he taught philosophy at Peking University. He writes a weekly column for the Financial Times, in which he answers readers' questions about property, interiors, architecture and gardens - although he often strays beyond his remit to debate concerns about everything from etiquette to grammar.
Do gentlemen wear shorts? What are the rules regarding interior decor in a high-security prison? Is it ever acceptable to send Valentine's cards to one's pets?
The twenty-first century is an age of innumerable social conundrums. Around every corner lies a potential faux pas waiting to happen. But if you've ever struggled for the right response to an unwelcome gift or floundered for conversation at the dinner party from hell, fear not: help is at hand.
In Rules for Modern Life, Sir David Tang, resident agony uncle at the Financial Times, delivers a satirical masterclass in navigating the social niceties of modern life. Whether you're unsure of the etiquette of doggy bags or wondering whether a massage room in your second home would be de trop, Sir David has the answer to all your social anxieties - and much more besides.
