10、 complete their errands （任務）. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country. 一個外國人對于美國的第一印象很有可能是每個人都在壓力下匆匆忙忙。城市里的人總是表現(xiàn)得匆 匆忙忙不知疲倦的，為了盡快做完一件事情，他們會在店里拼命引起店員的注意或者用胳膊肘推搡別人。 白天匆忙就餐也是這個國家生活節(jié)奏的一個部分。 Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting

11、for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you. 工作時間被認為是很珍貴的。在一些公共飲食場所，其他人會等在你旁邊等你吃完，這樣大家都可 以得到服務，并趕在規(guī)定的時間內回去工作。每個人都會盡快給下一個人騰出地方。如果你不這樣，侍者 會催促你的。 You also fin

This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point. 你會發(fā)現(xiàn)司機也都很匆忙，人

13、們從你身邊匆匆走過。你會錯過一些微笑，簡短的交談和一些與陌生 人的小禮節(jié)。不要在意，這是因為他們非常珍惜時間，而且他們認為一旦太注重這些社交禮節(jié)就是浪費時 間。 The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about

14、if we feel time is slipping away without some returnbe this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life. 對時間的觀念還會影響到我們對耐心的理解。在美國價值體

15、系中，耐心并不是首要考慮的。我們中的 很多人被稱為“脾氣火爆”。如果我們覺得時間在毫無意義的溜走，既沒有娛樂價值，工作價值，也不在 休息，那就會開始不停地徘徊。那些來自時間觀念不同的國家的人發(fā)現(xiàn)他們在商業(yè)和日常生活中最困難的 就是對時間節(jié)奏的適應。 Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or c

Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colle

17、ague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly. (348 words) 許多剛到美國來的人都會想念他們在商業(yè)會談中一些開場禮節(jié)。舉個例子，他們會想念歡迎你到來而 泡的一杯茶或咖啡這樣的社交禮儀，這在他們國家是常規(guī)禮儀。他們會想念在咖啡屋悠閑的會談。而通常， 美國人不會與來訪者在這么悠閑的環(huán)境中進行一些冗長的小會談。對于同事，我們總是看他過去的表現(xiàn)而 不

33、their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it.

But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, o

36、nly 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys（調查）show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out on Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling come

37、s because the British dislike France’s close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US. 這種歷來的分離也許是好的，因為這兩個國家對世界的看法完全不同。但是這并沒有阻隔 1200 萬的 英國人每年到法國度假。而法國僅有 300 萬的人民去英國度假。調查顯示大多數(shù)法國人對德國人比對英國 人親切。并且在英國進行的調查顯示僅有 1/3 的英國人信任法國人。也許這種壞的感覺是因為英國人不喜 歡法國

38、跟德國的親密關系，或者因為法國對英國和美國的親密關系感到不悅。 Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of “doubtful friendship”, they are at least able to make jokes about each other.
