Once had had a lot of United States friends to ask me: "What is the main distinction that you take a fancy to compatriots and American? "What is the main distinction that you take a fancy to compatriots and American??

I say: "We eat cooked food, you eat unripe; We are conservative, you are open; We go up in important matter of the solidarity on bagatelle difference, and you, no matter seniority issue is twisted,become a rope. You are not afraid that others pays close attention to, wary people does not care. You have the innovation, mind that is brave in to explore; And we, working cautious and conscientious, go to work to press a point on time prim. . . " American friend nods saying is.

Live in a country long, do not say do in Rome as Rome does but can catch a few breath at least, the speech that reads a family, handle affairs style, study other people is worth to learn, excellent place.

Does American friend often say with me " how be like a whole world to hate American? " I say " because you stand to go alone especially,that is, because you are bossy, overbearing, still the peak that stands tall and upright at the world lets Qu Ju he person jealous. " the friend is compensatory " still have, because of us, NOSE TO EVERYBODY ' S BUSINESS. . . " I say " very right. " I say " very right..

The following number, for a variety of information in daily life, saying is personal experience however in the round, still perhaps have what did not collect, first at this point one appraise.

　 One, greeting

Compatriots greets sb, be commonly " ate? " " thin ah! " " which to get rich recently? " relative falsehearted a kind. American, actualer, encountered, smiled to go each other. Or, stop embrace, ask recent body, have a family ask the child how a kind, won't exceed a minute anyway.

2, measuring glass

American uses measuring glass, chinese need not. When just coming, oneself still hire a house to live, once ill, landlord madam gives me a bottle of patulin (with respect to the liquid the sort of) , a measuring glass, she lets me be used according to the specification. Be in previously home when how had not noticed, think all the time, measuring glass is the thing of apothecary.

Later, oneself bought a house, oneself heat water, cook, make food, although return in instalment, but as long as be ill, want to take medicine only, often can remember old lady of that well-meaning United States, remember her, those who teach me to use measuring glass is anecdotical.

3, show little

The Chinese is shown commonly little, man 50 look also 30 odd, woman 30 look also seventeen, 89. Does American friend often ask me " how do you look ability to resemble 20 odd? " and she what ask me, smaller than me several years old. I say " the Chinese can maintain, did not hear of ' Long Yan exultation ' ? " I so one flicker, she still does not understand really. The Chinese sees a word is a word, american sees a word is a mystery.
