Paula Lester, features editor of Country Life, said the most important points on the the magazine's list were the ones that revolved around being kind and caring.
《鄉村生活》的特刊主編寶拉•萊斯特說,該雜志列出的清單中,紳士素質最重要的是友善和體貼.
These include rules such as that a gentleman 'carries house guests' luggage to their rooms', 'wears his learning lightly', 'never lets a door slam in someone's face' and 'turns his mobile phone to silent at dinner'.
反映這兩項素質的禮儀包括：紳士"會幫客人把行李拿進他們的房間"、"不隨意顯擺自己的學問"、"從不在別人前面摔門"以及"吃飯時把手機靜音".
Ms Lester said: 'Our magazine has been going for 120 years, so we've got a pretty good idea about what makes a gentleman.
萊斯特女士說："我們的雜志已經有120年歷史,所以,我們非常明白如何造就一名紳士."
'It's almost the ones that you don't have to think about that are the most important: being kind and in control, having courtesy and charm, and being able to put people at their ease in any kind of social situation.'
"最重要的素質是那些你想都不用想就能列出來的：待人隨和,脾氣溫和,有禮貌、有魅力,無論在何種社交情況下都能讓人們感到舒適."
