无论男士或女士，成人还是小朋友，一定都遇到如下尴尬的情形：您将自己的杯子放回桌上时，突然发现杯沿边不小心留下了明显的唇印（或食物残渣油印等）。如何化解这种尴尬呢？接下来，我们一起来探讨如何应对。
Regardless of your age or gender, I am sure you have encountered this scenario: you put down your glass or your cup on the table after taking a drink, only to find there is a huge lipstick print or food mark on it. How do you avoid this embarrassing situation? Here is the solution.
谁没有遇到过这种尴尬的情况呢？
Who can honestly say they have never faced this situation?:
您把杯子放回了原处，却时刻担心别的客人发现杯子上的有唇印（食物印记），这时您该怎么办呢？
And then you place it back on the table, fearing the other guests have noticed you are not able to keep a clean glass while drinking. What can you do?
错误做法
What you should not do
错误一
任由杯子上留着唇印，是非常不合适的行为。换位思考：如果您看到邻座的杯子上有一个大大的唇印或食物印渍，一定会感到不舒服（甚至是有些恶心）。您或许还会想：“这位女士/先生看起来似乎是个有很教养的人，怎么连基本的用餐礼仪都不懂。”
It would be a shame to just leave the glass sitting on the table looking stained. Indeed, it is very unpleasant for everyone (I would even say disgusting) to see a big greasy mark from food or lipstick on the glass of your neighbour. You would think “this person pretends to be a refined lady / gentleman but cannot even drink properly.”
错误二
您不能用口布或餐巾擦拭杯子，更不能用桌布擦拭！这会让您看起来像这个餐厅的服务生，所以千万不要这样做。另外，餐巾比较大，用餐巾擦拭会引起别人的注意，适得其反。
You cannot wipe it with your napkin or – even worse - the table cloth, nobody does. Imagine the scene, you would look like a cleaner! Moreover, napkins are often large, so it would attract more attention to you and your problem.
错误三
让服务生更换杯子也不是很好的选择。难道每次留下唇印后都要更换杯子？那如果是在别人家做客能这样做吗？
I am sure you understand you cannot ask a waiter to change your glass. Would you do it every time you drink? And what if you are at someone’s home?
正确做法
What you should do
第一步
相信很多人都知道：在喝水前，女士们应该用餐巾先将嘴上多余的口红擦掉。对于没有涂口红，但是害怕自己嘴唇上有食物油渍的客人来说，喝水前先用餐巾擦拭唇部，也不失为一个很好的做法。
Many of you probably already know this: if you are wearing lipstick you should dab your lips with your napkin when you are about to drink for the first time, in order to remove the surplus lipstick. This advice is also valid if you are not wearing any lipstick but feel your lips are greasy from the food, and may leave a mark on the glass.
第二步
假使您的杯子上已经留有唇印了。不要着急将杯子放回原处，最好小心地将杯子拿近身体，高度大概位于腰部，这个高度不会过分地引人注意。保持平静和自然的举止。
You have taken a drink and you see a mark on the glass. Do not put it back on the table. Discreetly, hold it at waist level in order to avoid drawing attention to it. Maintain a normal and natural demeanour.
第三步
大拇指悄悄地将唇印擦掉，整个过程中不要盯着杯子看，这点尤其重要。如果盯着杯子看，会将别人的注意力也引到杯子上。您的举止仍要自然，可以继续和周围的人保持交流。这样别人就不会注意到您这个小动作了。
With your thumb, discreetly remove the mark without looking at your hands. This is extremely important. If you look at what you are doing you will draw attention to it. Your attitude is still natural, you follow the conversation, speak normally. Nobody will notice what you are doing.
第四步
擦掉印记后，将杯子放回原处。然后再用餐巾擦拭您的大拇指。接下来就可以继续享用晚餐了。
You place the glass back on the table. Now you can discreetly clean your thumb on your napkin, and continue to enjoy your dinner.
