PeppermintPatty 's notebook entry: Jan 21, 2011 Hi there! I am currently practising German- English translation and might need your help. Any corrections concerning the English part are more than welcome... Thank you in advance... the whole text can be found at: http://www.welt.de/lifestyle/article12192494/Gesundheit-anstaendiges-Niesen-gehoert-zur-Etikette.html "Gesundheit!", anständiges Niesen gehört zur Etikette Zurzeit wimmelt es nur so von Menschen, die niesen. Dabei die wohlerzogenen von den rücksichtslosen Schniefern zu unterscheiden, ist gar nicht so einfach.Es ist alles ganz schön verzwickt: Wer in die Hand niest, wenn es in der Nase kitzelt, wird beim nächsten Händeschütteln als Bazillenherd verteufelt. Wer auf diesen Nieser dann „Gesundheit!“ wünscht, erntet aber auch nur Naserümpfen. Bei Erkältungen die richtige Etikette zu wahren und das Gegenüber vor dem gleichen Schnupfen-Schicksal zu bewahren, will gelernt sein. Aber Obacht! Was vor wenigen Jahren noch als höflich galt, ist heute schon tabu. Denn über die Zeit haben sich viele Benimmregeln geändert. „Auch wenn es vor allem Älteren fremd vorkommen mag: Wir empfehlen, als Notlösung in die Armbeuge zu niesen, wenn so schnell kein Taschentuch zur Hand ist“, erklärt Inge Wolff vom „Arbeitskreis Umgangsformen“ in Bielefeld. Das freie Gremium gibt seit mehr als 50 Jahren Empfehlungen zum guten Benehmen heraus. Zum Beispiel zum anständigen Niesen. Die Empfehlung, in die linke Hand zu prusten, ist spätestens seit der Schweinegrippe hinfällig. Das hat nicht nur Höflichkeits-, sondern vor allem Hygiene-Gründe, sagt Inge Wolff. Das sieht Alexander Mellmann, Arzt am Institut für Hygiene der Uniklinik Münster, ähnlich: „Die Erkältungsviren sind schnell übertragen, wenn ich jemandem die Hand gebe und mir danach zum Beispiel ins Gesicht fasse.“ An Türklinken können die lästigen Keime sogar Tage überleben. Mellmanns Rat an Schniefnasen: „Einmal- Taschentücher verwenden und zur Begrüßung keine Küsschen verteilen“. Ein verweigerter Handschlag als Ausdruck von Höflichkeit sei aber noch nicht in vielen Köpfen verankert, sagt Inge Wolff. „Damit er nicht missverstanden wird, ist es gut, ihn mit einem erklärenden Satz zu begleiten.

Bless you! Proper sneezing forms part of the etiquette

At the moment there are swarms of people sneezing. To differentiate between the well-behaved (besser: well-mannered) and the [hard-nosed] inconsiderate [sniffer] sneezer among them is not always that easy. [This is a very tricky case] It's  all rather tricky: Those sneezing into the hand when the nose [is tickling] tickles will be vilified (demonized) as a [breeding ground for bacteria] source of germs at the next handshake (oder: when one shakes hand next). [Who then [whishes] wishes]  The one who says ‘Bless you!’ in this case  [only]  [earns a wrinkling of the nose] would  simply be  looked upon with disdain.(Den ursprünglichen deutschen Ausdruck lässt sich nicht wörtlich übersetzen)   [To conform to the etiquette while having a cold and at the same time to beware protect others of from the same cold-destiny should have been taught.] One has to learn how to comform to etiquette when one has a cold, while at the same time protecting others from the same cold-destiny.  But pay attention! (besser: watch out!) What [has been] was/ used to be regarded as polite years ago [is today already a taboo] is a taboo today. In the course of time a lot of manners have changed.Even if it [seems] might seem (es ... mag) strange to older people: We recommend sneezing into the crook of the arm as [a temporary solution] an emergency measure when there is no tissue at hand,’ explains W. of the ‘Working Committee for Manners‘ in Bielefeld.

This committee composed of volunteers has been publishing for over fifty years  recommendations on how to behave properly (oder: recommendations for good behaviour) . For instance, on how to sneeze in [an appropriate] a decent/proper way. The advice to sneeze into the left hand has [been] become  invalid since the [outcome] outbreak of the swine flu. This is not only about being polite but also because of hygiene factors.

A. M., physician at the Institute for Hygiene at the university hospital of Münster is of a similar opinion: ‘Cold viruses are transmitted easily when [shaking someone’s hand] one shakes someone's hand and after that (one) touches the face.’

[At the door handle]On door handles [those] these annoying bacteria are able to survive for days. M.’s advice for [sniffing] runny noses: ‘[To] Use hankerchiefs for single usage and not <strike>to</strike> kiss when meeting.’
[To deny a handshake] To refuse to shake hands [as an expression of politeness] is not yet regarded as an expression of politenes by everybody as such, says W. ‘To avoid misinterpretations (besser: misunderstandings) it would serve well to give an explanation.’
