文化差异(Culture Difference):种族 National race

The whole question of the changing role of Blacks in American society as been the subject of newspaper articles around the world so frequently that visitors to the United States do not know what to expect when they arrive. They may be surprised when they see that Blacks and Whites work side by side in offices , factories , and schools across the country . The majority of Blacks in the United States, however, live in and around only a small number of American cities.

Many dark-skinned visitors arrive in the United States fearing personal attack or expecting various degrees of racial prejudice. Some forms of discrimination [1] still exist ,unfortunately, especially in the areas of the housing , schools , and jobs . The school equality is still more a dream than a reality. There are still too many areas of the country where Black Americans do not enjoy the same full opportunities as White Americans . However, the vast majority of American s are working , studying , and sharing public places together. This was not true even a few years ago in some parts of the country , but progress is steadily being made . You will be able to observe the improvement in race relations as soon as your plane lands . You will see it in the airport, in public buses and trains , in theaters , restaurants , rest room, in sops and libraries , in offices and factories . Close personal friendships between Blacks and Whites , full trust and social relationships are still not common , except in certain areas, However, even in this - the slowest area of progress-there has been change , especially among young people.

[1] discrimination n. 辨别, 区别, 识别力, 辨别力, 歧视

Culture Difference

发表日期：2005-04-22 10:58:52 作者：洪恩在线

It is not a novel knowledge that culture difference exists between eastern and w

estern countries. But not until I heard the lecture given by a Chinese scholar,

who has been lived in Australia for several years, did I came to understand that

how different it is.

The scholar summarized that we, as Chinese, prefer to think in a spiral, casual

way, while western people, more often than not, are fond of a linear, business-i

s-business way. Supporting the idea, he named out examples he himself experience

d while staying in Australia. Here are some excerpts.

Firstly, line up matter. If you are in China, it is not rare to see that a crowd

of people throng in the supermarket, trying to get service first. People in Ch

ina do line up, the scholar said in a humorous tone, but they prefer to line up

at a horizontal way.

In contrast, in western countries, say, in Australia, people always line up, no

matter in a big bank or a small grocery store. And they take it for granted. Lin

ing up has long since become part of their life that they scarcely doubt it or g

row impatient while doing it.

Secondly, first come, first served. Though in words it is a normal principle her

e in China, it’s mostly not the case in reality. Take an example of what usuall

y happens in a bank. Here when we are in a middle-sized bank, and suppose we are

talking with the cashier, it always tends to have someone butt in, claiming tha

t his or her request takes only one second.

And it seems that we have already been accustomed to it. So has the cashier. But

in western countries, it never applies. It is always rude that you butt in whil

e the cashier is serving his customer. No matter how little time your request co

sts, the cashier, more often than not, is likely to turn you down. Only one cust

omer at a time is his principle.

Thirdly, change stuff. Suppose I am in a shopping mall and the stuff I purchase

cost me 142 RMB. While lining up at the casher’s and happening to check my wall

et, I find I have 200 RMB and two one-yuan coins. What will I do? To give the ca

shier 200 RMB, or give him 200 RMB and the two one-yuan coins so that he could r

eturn me 60 RMB, which is more convenient for both of us.

I think when the Chinese were in this situation, they would mostly choose the la

tter one. But the scholar said, in Australia, they won’t do so. He then told th

at he himself did try it once, and he thought it was self-evident to do so. But

the cashier did not understand.

So the scholar latter on summarized that western people are prone to lack of fle

xibility while doing their work. Then how about us in their eyes? They think we

Chinese have a tendency to make things complicate. What an interesting contrast!

Here I don’t intend to tell which is better and which is worse. What I try to s

ay is just that we might well be in conformity with the customs and be aware of

the culture differences while being abroad. Like the saying goes—while you are

in Rome, do as Romans do. If you don’t want to put yourself in the public, bear

ing all this in mind is perhaps the best policy.

Dear Caroline,

I think your scholar friend spent several years in Australia and completely miss

ed the most important value represented in his examples. That value is egalitar

ianism. The principle that people should be treated equally.

When the bank teller insists on attending one customer at a time the principle i

s not "only one customer at a time" it is "this customer waited in line and so w

ill you, no matter how tall, how well dressed or how loud your voice." And you

can be sure if the customer is a poor working man and the impatient man is a wel

l dressed business man, the customer will very bruskly insist on his rights not

to be interrupted. A well run bank will have a customer service person who can

answer questions, but people doing transactions must wait their turn. My impres

sion of a business or a nation where people are not treated equally in the marke

tplace and a bully can obtain service without waiting is a place where there is

a class oriented culture and/or where one can bribe one …………[文章太长，没有全部显示，点击本文标题阅读全文]

Dear Tim,

The lecture given by the scholar is mainly on English learning. That's for he na

med such examples. He just aimed to tell the audience how important to understan

d a culture is, which is different from our motherland.

What you said is indeed right. And I am with you on this. The corruption in Chi

na is rampant these years, you relate it with class. Well, I haven't thought abo

ut it. But I do agree that the idea of class roots in many people's mind.

Like the example you took in the article, I almost could be sure that here the c

ashier would definitely turn to the well dressed business man. You say that the

poor working man will insist on his rigts not to be interrupted. But here I gues

s he would just pretend not to mind it and let it be.

I myself experienced this once, in fact. Once I was in a post office to have a p

ackage posted. You know, it was crowded inside and the people lined up in a wayw

ard way. So when it was my turn, and when I was just about to tell the man my re

quest, one guy …………[文章太长，没有全部显示，点击本文标题阅读全文]

You've got a sharp eye for the human conditions, Tim.

Dear Panpanpan,

I wouldn't have written in such a non-diplomatic fashion except that I wanted to

see what people thought, and that sort of behavior is particularly irritating t

o me. I will try not to lose my temper when I am in China. I don't want to get

"kung fu'd". Great to hear from you, friend. I want to hear more of your thou

ghts.

Tim

It won't happen in New York. Maybe the cashers in NY are smarter. :)

请英文高手帮我写篇150字的英文文章——中美文化差异

浅谈中西方送礼文化差异摘要：送礼在中外都是一种常见的社会现象。人与人之间相互馈赠礼物，是人类社会生活中不可缺少的交往内容。中西方对赠送礼物都很重视。本文通过就中西方送礼文化差异进行了初步的介绍，希望能提高人们对中西方送礼的认识，加强交际。关键词：送礼；收礼；中西文化差异在跨文化交际中，文化差异无处不在，各国风情各有不同，送礼并不是一件简单的事。事实上，送礼是一门艺术，送什么，送给谁，怎么送等，都大有讲究，必须遵守其约定俗成的规矩。因此，我们必须了解各自的送礼文化差异，才能更好地实现送礼的目的。首先是礼品观念上的差异。中国人往往注重礼品的实质意义，即它的实用价值，而不喜欢中看不中用的东西。给新婚夫妇送礼，过去常常是被面、床单、桌布等，为新生儿祝生或抓周，常常送包装精美的小衣服，都很实惠。即使是送文化、送高雅礼品，中国人也十分注意其实用价值。比如说中国人送字画、邮集，往往不在乎对方是否欣赏，而在于字画、邮品的收藏价值。 而西方人往往注重礼品的纪念价值。应邀去西方人家做客，可以给女主人送一束鲜花，给男主人送一瓶葡萄酒。还可以带上具有本国特点的小工艺品，一本自己或对方喜欢的书，或一盘CD，或一本自己写的书。 在机场和火车站迎接客人，或去医院探视病人，送上一束鲜花，显得既自然又热情，而不必考虑花束的大小。同样他们出国旅游，回来后经常会买一些明信片送给办公室同事或亲朋好友，有时送几块。

Diet Culture difference between China and America.（中美饮食文化的差异）这篇可以参考：

The main difference between Chinese and America eating habits is that unlike,where everyone has their own plate of food,in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares.If you are being treated by a Chinese host,be prepared for a ton of food.Chinese are very proud of their culture of food and will do their best to give you a taste of many different types of cuisine.Among friends,they will just order enough for the people there.If they are taking somebody out for dinner and the relationship is polite to semi-polite,then they will usually order one more dish than the number of guests (e.g.four people,five dishes).If it is a business dinner or a very formal occasion,there is likely to be a huge amount of food that will be impossible to finish.

A typical meal starts with some cold dishes,like boiled peanuts and *** ashed cucumber with garlic.These are followed by the main courses,hot meat and vegetable dishes.Finally soup is brought out,which is followed by the starchy "staple" food,which is usually rice or noodles or sometimes dumplings.Many Chinese eat rice (or noodles or whatever) last,but if you like to have your rice together with other dishes,you should say so early on.
