下面是2014年英语六级翻译练习：礼貌，请考生多多练习。
　　请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
　　在某些情况下礼貌原则不太适用。比如，当说话者与听话者进行互动时，交换信息对双方同等重要。他们之间的交谈将是直接的，此时礼貌原则就要退居二线。
　　参考翻译:
　　There are some situations where politeness can take a back seat. For example, when the speaker and the hearer are engaged in a collaborative activity and the exchange of. information is equally important to both of them, politeness would be given less consideration and the language they use tends to be direct and straightforward.
