為避免誤解或爭論，請僅在與您熟悉的人交談時談論您的政治或宗教信仰。
在工作中避免與同事進行宗教或政治討論也可能更安全。
英國人尤其傾向於將政治和宗教信仰視為極其個人化的，有時會發現這些令人尷尬甚至侮辱的公開討論過多。
To avoid misunderstandings or arguments, only talk about your political or religious beliefs in conversations with people you know well. It’s probably also safer to avoid religious or political discussions with colleagues at work. The British, in particular, tend to view political and religious beliefs as extremely personal, and can sometimes find too much public discussion of these embarrassing or even insulting.
