It is important to realize that there are basically two types of situations.
你要意识到基本上有两种情境是很重要的。
1.Formal interaction
1.正式的互动
2.Informal interactions
2.非正式的互动
Formal interactions require a less relaxed behavior following customs and procedure.
正式的互动是需要在遵从习俗步骤后，还不能过于放松的。
These type of interactions could be one of the following:
这些类型的互动可能是下列之一：
1.Meeting with a government official

In formal interactions, it is best to offer a handshake to the other individual.
在正式交往中，最好是与对方握手。
To do this follow these steps:
The one that I prefer is the following:

As a rule, we should always be polite when meeting new people. A handshake is always appropriate, but you might need to adapt to what the other person insists on doing. For example, they might want to hug or bump fists.
一般来说，在遇到陌生人的时候，我们应该保持礼貌。握手总是合适的，但你可能需要适应对方坚持做的事情。例如，他们可能想要拥抱或碰拳头。

After anyone gives you their name for the first time, you should say it back to them as a courtesy.
当别人第一次说出他们的名字时，出于礼节，你应该对他们再说一遍他们的名字。
This should be done regardless if the setting is formal or informal. In repeating back their name, you are less likely to forget it later.
无论场合是正式的还是非正式的，都应该这样做。在重复他们的名字时，你不太可能会忘记。

From this point, the conversation is up to you. You can ask questions about how they know your friend or someone might mention something about their work. You could ask a question about that. The scenarios are endless.
从这一点开始，对话由你决定。你可以询问他们是如何认识你的朋友，有些人也可能会聊他们的工作。你可以对此提问。有很多种场景。
However, if someone asks you to introduce yourself in a meeting situation, then the response is a little more complicated.
然而，如果有人让你在会议中介绍你自己，那么回复就有点复杂了。
Usually, what they are waiting for is five to six sentences for other people in the room to acquire facts about you so that they have an idea about who you are and your personality.

For example, you could give your name, your age, your occupation, where you are from and something that you like.
例如，你可以说出你的名字，你的年龄，你的职业，你来自哪里，你喜欢什么。
