You may think that the story of Pygmalion (《卖花女》, 1913) — in which people are judged by the way they talk — is something that only existed in the days of British high society. But thanks to etiquette (礼仪) expert and author William Hanson, we realize that little has changed during the past 100 years.
In a BBC radio program, Hanson released a list of common words used in British English that could reveal whether a person is "common" or "fashionable".
And yet here comes the interesting part: While some of us might go through life using fancy words, dressing in ways that make us appear more well-off than we really are, there are wealthy people in the world who try to hide their riches because they want to be seen as "normal" instead of "showy".
Beatrice, for example, is a New Yorker who inherited (继承) millions of dollars. She told The New York Times that she has a habit of removing the price tags (价签) from her clothes so her house staff don't see them and feel uncomfortable.
"We don't want that 'Wow'." said Scott, also a New Yorker, who had just inherited over $50 million. "We're just not the type of people who wear it on our sleeve."
This document sets out the display standards for Glasgow Museums. This guide will help exhibition planners provide access to exhibitions in our museums. Glasgow Museums' aim is to improve access to collections by having as many items as possible on display and without physical barriers. We also try out best to protect these objects without limiting access to them.
Object Placement
·Don't place objects in such a way that they could present a danger to visitors.
·All object displays, cased or otherwise, must be viewable by all, including people who are small in figure or in wheelchairs.
Open Display
·All objects on open display must be secure from theft and damage.
·All objects identified for potential open display must be viewed and agreed on an object-to-object basis by the Security Manager of the museum.
Recommendations | Distance |
Recommended distance to place objects out of “casual arm's length”(taken from the edge of the object to the edge of any proposed form of barrier) | 700mm |
*In some cases, 600mm may be acceptable, provided the plinth height is above 350mm.
Cased Objects
·All cased displays should fall within the general optimum(最优的)viewing band of 750-2000mm. Ensure everything is visually accessible from a wheelchair.
·Position small objects or those with fine detail in the front part of a case, with larger items behind.
·Position small items or those with fine detail no higher than 1015mm from floor level. Objects placed above this height are only seen from below by people in wheelchairs or people who are small in figure.
