| 1 | Believe it or not, most Hong Kong people tend to choke when it comes to two common phrases - "excuse me" and "thank you". | 信不信由你，大多數香港人在談到兩個常用詞時都感到窒息：「對不起」和「謝謝」。 |

| 3 | Eighty percent said they or their children rarely say "excuse me" to domestic helpers or the elderly. | 80％的人說他們或他們的孩子很少對家庭傭工或老人說「對不起」。 |
| 4 | Next on the list of impolite behaviour is rushing for seats on trains and buses. This is followed by the distinct rarity of people saying "thank you", even after receiving a gift. | 下一個不禮貌行為是爭奪火車和公共汽車上的座位。 其次，即使收到禮物，人們也很少說「謝謝」。 |
