答案

: Shoot. Go ahead.
Susan: Why do Americans cherish individualism more than oriental people?
John: I don’t know. Anyway, Professor Brown didn’t say.
Susan: One reason might be that American children stop sleeping with their parents at an early age. They learn independence early, so it’s deeply rooted.
John: Wow, that’s an intelligent guess!
MODEL2 What do you think are the reasons for
that difference?
Script
Susan: Do you find that people in America often walk faster than people in China? Americans always seem to be in a hurry.
John: It’s hard to come to a definite conclusion. Some Americans walk in a leisurely way, and some Chinese hurry all the time. But on the whole, I think you’re right.
Susan: What do you think are the reasons for that difference?
John: Americans treasure time. For them, time is tangible. It’s a thing. “Time is money.” You can “spend time”, “waste time”, “save time”. You can even “kill time”!
Susan: Does this strong sense of time affect their lifestyle?
John: Sure. If you’re 20 minutes late for a bussiness appointment, the other person or persons will be annoyed. They may not trust you anymore.
Susan: But as far as I know, English-speaking people may be 15-30 minutes late for a dinner party.
John: That’s true. For an informal occasion like that, punctuality is not so important. Also, a boss may keep his employees waiting for a long time.
Susan: But if his secretary is late, she’s in trouble. She will probably receive a reprimand.
John: How true!
Susan: The American workship of time probably led them to create fast foods.
John: I agree. And globalization shrinks the differences between cultures. Now people everywhere are rushing, and anywhere you go, you find Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Susan: But plenty of Chinese are still making appointments saying, “If I am late, wait for me.”
John: But with more intercultural communication, I think the gap will eventually be bridged, and Chinese will be hurrying everywhere.
MODEL3 That’s the secret of their success.
Script
Chris: Hey Sue, how’s the math class going? Are you head of the class?
Susan: Are you kidding? There’s a bunch of foreign students in the class---from China somewhere---and they are on top.
Chris: Why do you think so many Chinese students excel in math? It’s been my observation that the Chinese students are usually the best.
Susan: In class they don’t say much, but they definitely get the best marks.
Chris: I think part of it is their work ethic. They never skip class, and they pay attention.
Susan: One Chinese student in my class did homework each night until the early hours. He never took a break, watched TV, or went out for a beer.
Chris: That’s the secret of their success: hard work and deligence.
Susan: It’s so unfair. I could probably do better if I worked harder, but that’s no fun. I think learning should be more fun.
Chris: Someone with a knowledge of chess would find a chess tournament fascinating. But if you don’t have the knowledge, then you won’t understand the significance of the moves, and you’ll be bored.
Susan: So what you’re saying is knowledge requires hard work, and knowledge makes things interesting. I am not against knowledge; I just want to learn it in an interesting way. What’s more, “All work and noplay makes Jack a dull boy.”
Now Your Turn
Task 1:
SAMPLE DIALOG
Maggie: Josh, you were late for work this morning.
Josh: I was only about ten minutes late. Anyway, the boss didn’t say anything about it.
Maggie: As a friend, I must give you a warning. You should understand that Americans treasure time.
Josh: What do you mean?
Maggie: You see, for them time is tangible. It’s a thing. “Time is money.” You can “spend time”, “waste time”, “save time”. You can even “kill time”!
Josh: Does this strong sense of time affect their lifestyle?
Maggie: If you’re 20 minutes late for a business appointment, the other persons will be annoyed. They may not trust you anymore. Today you were ten minutes late for work. That was bad enough.
Josh: I was caught in a traffic jam. What could I have done?
Maggie: You should have called the secretary to say you might be late. I learned the importance of punctuality when I studied at an American university.
Josh: Tell me about it.
Maggie: Some students were late handing in assignments and the professors gave them poor marks. One professor even refused to read a term paper that was turned in after the deadline.
Josh: But as far as I know, English-speaking people may be 15-30 minutes late for a dinner party.
Maggie: That’s true. For an informal occasion like that, punctuality is not so important. Also, a boss may keep his employees waiting for a long time.
Josh: But if his secretary is late, she’s in trouble. She will probably be reprimanded.
Maggie: How true!
