当然啦,肯定要准备礼物给他们哒!(谢谢大家给我各种礼物的建议~)
But I was wondering what other advice you might have — specifically, what should I do to make the visit go smoothly? I really could use some help! Thanks!
但是呢,想问问你们还有别的建议不?尤其是……我该怎样才能把这趟行程顺利进行下去?真的需要各位的帮助啊!感谢感谢!

看这姑娘着急的……这还不算正式的中国媳妇呢,就如此看重这次过年,妹纸你有心啦~

Kelly妹纸的求助信 是发在一个博客 上的。
而这个博客的博主不是别人,正是咱们之前介绍过好几次的著名洋媳妇——乔斯林 (Jocelyn Eikenburg)。

乔斯林的老公是中国人,她如今也在中国长住,开了个名为洋媳妇谈中国的博客,分享了许多和中国亲友相处的趣事儿。

这次,对于Kelly妹纸的求助,乔斯林也以过来人的身份给了一些贴心的建议 。
她是这样说的——
Every Chinese family, obviously, will be different, and react differently to you — so I can’t guarantee marriage for you too. But there are some things you can do to improve your chances of making a smashing first impression:

显然啦,每个中国家庭都不尽相同,对你的到来也会有不同反应——所以我也没法保证你能和他顺利走进婚姻的殿堂。但是呢,还是有些小技巧,可以帮助你提升几率、获得不错的第一印象——
1. Gifts are a must for the family, as you already know.
一定要给他家人准备礼物 !是的~这一点你已经提到了。
It’s the best way to create goodwill from the first Ni Hao (after all, Chinese people tend to show their feelings through indirect means, such as gifts, so it’s a language they understand). I’d follow the gift-giving suggestions I’ve laid out, leaning towards vitamins for his parents and grandparents. Find out what other relatives will be present and bring something for them, too.→ 可以给他的父母和爷爷奶奶准备维生素 一类的,也要带点儿别的礼物送给其他亲戚。

2. Avoid physical contact with your Chinese boyfriend in front of his family.
