It's not polite to butt in when other people offer advice.

别人发表意见的时候你插嘴是不礼貌的。

butt in直译过来就是：“插手，干涉，闯入”，这个短语的正确意思是：“插嘴”。因此，当美国人说"It's not polite to butt in when other people offer advice."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"You shouldn't break in when other people are giving their opinions."、"It's impolite of you to interrupt me when I put forward my suggestion."。
