英语翻译
Traveling to all corner of the world gets easier and easier,but how well do we know and understand each other?Here is a simple test.Imagine you will hold a meeting at four o'clock,what time should you expect your foreign business friends to come?If they are German,they will arrive on time.If they are American,they'll probably be fifteen minutes early.If they are British,they'll be fifteen minutes late.
The British seemed to think since the English language was widely used in the world,what they did was certain to be widely understood.Very soon they found they were completely wrong.For example,the British are happy to have a business lunch and discuss business matters with a drink during the meal;the Japanese prefer not to work while eating.Lunch is a time for relax and get to know each other,and they don't drink at lunch.Yhe Germans like to talk business bufore dinner;the French like to eat first and talk afterwards.They have to be well fed and watered before they discuss anything.
这种事居然也敢得出来，太不厚道了吧！

答案

在世界各地旅行变得越来越简单,但事实上我们了解他人有多少呢?这是一个简单的测试.假设你将在4点钟举办会议,你应该预期你的外国商界朋友什么时候到达呢?如果他们是德国人,他们会准时到达.如果他们是美国人,他们可能会早来15分钟.如果他们是英国人,他们会晚来15分钟.
英国人似乎认为因为英语在世界上广泛使用,他们所做所为自然被广泛理解.很快英国人发现他们完全错了.比如,英国人很乐于吃工作午餐,并在饭桌上一般喝酒一遍讨论工作问题；日本人喜欢在吃饭时不谈论工作.午餐是一个用来休息和了解别人的时间,而且日本人午餐不喝酒.德国人喜欢在晚餐前讨论工作；法国人喜欢先吃饭,之后谈论工作.法国人必须吃饱喝足才谈论任何事情.
