A similar situation occurred a decade ago.

篇3:吃一口饭就是在吃一口美国文化

全文共 2563 字

美利坚民族是个年轻、天真、自信、富有生气的民族。像个血气方刚的青年人,美国人生性好动,不甘寂寞。像个精力充沛的年轻人,美国人不停地干这忙那,似乎有永远也使不完的精力。城市里的人似乎永远赶着去什么地方;乡村里的人总是在农田、养鸡场、谷仓、奶牛场之间奔跑不停;办公室里的人有着堆成山似的文字工作(paper work)要做;公司里的秘书手脚不停地接电话、送文件。你在街上走逛,后面的人会大步流星地超赶到你的前面;你去餐馆就餐,难得寻觅到能与你说笑寒喧的伴侣。生活的节奏像一根上足了的发条一样,有条不紊地不停运转,构成了一幅繁忙、近乎于疯狂的现代人生活画面。

美国人的快节奏生活方式,除了止述美利坚民族好动不好静的秉性之外,很大程度上与他们社会的激烈竞争息息相关。美国是个市场经济高度发达的国家,“物竞天择,适者生存”的法则是它的运转规律,不进则退,不胜则败。为了生存和成功,美国人必须拼搏和奋斗,而拼搏与奋斗的一个重要方面是与他人抢时间、争速度,使自己始终处于依靠地位。由此可见,美国人的快节奏生活方式是被他们紧张激烈的社会竞争所“逼迫”出来的。因为这种“逼迫”无时不在、无处不有,美国人对快节奏生活方式也就习惯成自然了。

真话重于客气

在不少国家,人们互相交谈时,喜欢拣对方高兴听的知说,而不愿指出事实真相,以免伤了和气。这多半是出于客气(courtesy)和礼貌(politeness)。但在美国人的眼光里,这种心地善良的客气和礼貌不及真话重要。美国人的伦理价值观中有一条箴言:“诚实为上策” (Honesty is the best policy)。换句话说,在比较诚实、客气、礼貌、家族声誉孰轻孰重时,美国人把诚实放在首位。因此,在美国如果要说某人的坏话,最厉害的一句是“你不能相信他”(You cannot trust him)。

试举例说明。一个美国人驾车赶路,途中,他问一路人:“这里距离下一个市镇还有多远?”在一些把客气礼貌放在高于真实位置的国家里,路边这位先生也许马上想到赶路者已疲倦不堪,急欲抵达目的地,于是便客客气气地说,“顺着这条路走就到了”(Just down the road)。他以为这样回答能使赶路者心里宽慰从而更振足精神。然而,当这美国人开了好半天的车才到达要去的市镇时他会心情不畅,甚至气愤,觉得自己受骗了(feeling tricked)。在他看来,那位路边人明知路程很远,却存心欺骗他。同样的问题,美国人会怎样回答呢?美国人认为,假如他知道下一个市镇还有24英里的路程,回答说“Just down the road”是不诚实的表现。因此,尽管对那疲倦的寻路人极富同情,但他还是实话相告:“有好一段路呢,至少24英里”。(You have a long way to go ;at least 24miles more)。问路者听了也许会失望,但他明白了自己的处境,所以也不会产生误解。

交友

在美国这样一个地域流动(geographical mobility)和社会流动(social mobility)都很的国家里,交友自有它的特色。由于人们时常从一个地方迁徙到另一个地方,他们在交友时所建立的友谊可能一时密切而牢靠。但一旦彼此迁移他处时,他们的友谊可能不久即告消失,双方各自再找合适的新朋友。美国人不会因这种友谊的处理方式而感到“薄情”,更不会觉得自己受了对方的轻视,或者侮辱。大多数情况下,“劳燕分飞”的朋友可能保持通信、或者电话联系一两年,然后逐渐中断联系。有趣的是,一旦有机会再见面,不管间隔多久,昔日的朋友会“和好如初”,重温友情,甚至继续密切往来一段时间。

基于在这交友方式,外国客人去美国人家作客时,可以无拘无束、轻松自在地与他们闲谈、玩耍。他们可以与美国人共弃假期,甚至一起生活,而不必为保持终身友谊而担忧犯愁。就美国人而言,他们邀请外国客人去作客是出于一种友情和好客,他们乐意为这种短暂的友谊花费一定的时间和精力。

爱搞实验

美利坚民族性格中,爱搞实验是她的一个重要特点。从大的范围讲,美国本身就是一个最大的实验场。自哥伦布“发现”北美新大陆后,一批又一批移民涌入美国,根据他们各自理想蓝图,在美国进行不同类型的实验。清教徒要在那里建立一个“天府之国”,共和主义者想在那里建立一个“大同世界”,注重经济发展的人要把那块广阔富饶的土地变成“强盛之邦”。从小的范围看,一代又一代来自世界各地的开拓者,不断地利用一切机会进行各种各样的尝试。有的试图在政治上发迹,有的设法在经济上发财,也有的为了自己的理想之梦而孜孜以求。不管是大范围着眼,还是小范围角度,美国都被看作是“机遇之地”(land of opportunity),因而可以在那里展开实验。

吃一口饭就是在吃一口美国文化

说起美国餐,你可能立刻想起热狗、汉堡包、薯条和炸鸡。但是,美国餐还包括沙拉、牛排、烤排骨、鲜虾、龙虾、新英格兰奶油蛤汤、炖鸡汤、奶油蘑菇汤等等。不仅如此,美国是个开放的国度,美国餐也是世界各国各地美食的总汇。

在美国餐里,我现在最喜欢吃的是沙拉。它的特点是生,生得颜色很鲜艳,红的是西红柿,绿的是生菜、菠菜、西兰花和芹菜,橘色的是胡萝卜,黄色的是烤面包块和奶酪,白色的是酱和酸奶酪。沙拉保持了原汁原味,各种菜香都可一口品尝到。有些沙拉也加上了烤鸡肉条或培根。沙拉的不同口味主要体现在酱上,有奶油味、意大利甜酸味、印尼千岛味、加州奶油味等等。我喜欢吃沙拉的另一个原因是它营养健康,维生素含量比炒的炸的菜更丰富。

我也爱吃牛排。好的牛排是棕色的,做得好的牛排可顺畅地一切到底。上面经常有很多香喷喷的肉汁。牛排一般半磅到一磅重。好餐馆里一块牛排差不多13美元,在快餐馆里,一块牛排才只有一两美元。

新英格兰奶油蛤汤是我最爱喝的汤。它美味可口,满齿留香。汤是乳白色的,有独特的浓浓的奶油味。除了奶油以外,汤里还包括蛤、贝、芹菜、洋葱和多种草药。这个汤已经在美国餐馆的菜谱里流行几百年了。

苹果派是传统饭后甜点。苹果派有格子的派壳,里面塞满了苹果酱果。甜点一般是为了哄小孩或帮助去除油腻味的。

我知道上面谈到的不能代表整个美国佳肴。但是,每当我品尝这些食品时,就仿佛感受到美国人对大自然的理解,对生活的态度。吃一口饭就是在吃一口美国文化。

It seems we are living in the conflict between modern and traditional

cultures every day. Hearing the blaring of horns the moment you step out of your

house, seeing the so called "pop" the moment you open your eyes, you cant help

thinking, "Will the traditional culture be gradually lost?"

Many people believe so. They may put right in front of you all the

evidences they can dig out. They may argue that people are rushing to

restaurants instead of cooking at home, listening to pop music but not

traditional, wearing in a way people couldnt imagine ten years ago. Modern

people like the air of freedom, not to be restrained by traditions. They offer

this long list, only trying to confirm that this world is full of

fashion,competition and temptation and the traditional culture is fading and

will be lost at last.

Though we are now living in a world in which undeclared aggression, war,

hypocrisy, chicanery, anarchy are part of our daily life. Though this is a

skeptical age, and our faith has weakened, our confidence in some aspects of the

traditional culture should and would never be lost.

Wouldnt you agree that our traditional culture is always credited with

modesty, politeness and respectfulness, which have always been treasured for

more than five thousand years?Even in this modern world, people still admire

those with good manners, those who are polite to others or respectful to old

people.

Wouldnt you agree that our Chinese traditional music is beautiful and

artistic and our Chinese tea culture is always an appealing treasure to people

around the world?

So there may just be some changes in our lifestyle or our attitudes towards

life, but little change occurs to some fundamental aspects of our traditional

culture that people still treasure in heart.

The traditional culture will never be lost, I believe.

Last year, my parents and I arrived in the United States on the other side of the ocean, living in Chicago, the third largest city in the United States. The city life there is very different from the city life in China.

Special one: building

Most people in China live in public housing or apartments, and there are not so many people in the United States. People usually live in semi-detached houses. The left half of the family, the right half the other family, or up and down two families, the economy many people live in the independent house. The two houses are not large, usually made of beautiful bricks, and the first floor has steps to connect the ground and houses, and the houses are numbered with metal. There was a small garden around the house, with lush trees and green grass, and some tables and chairs. There is a fence outside the garden, a password lock on the fence, someone with a key to the password can go in, so its safe to live in it.

Special 2: traffic

Car penetration in China is lower than in the u.s., where most Chinese residents take public transportation, and almost every home in the United States has a car. Why? Thats because the United States was designed as a big car in the first place. The roads are designed to be spacious and the garage is so much designed that there are few traffic jams or parking Spaces in the United States. Back in China, there are no seats left for the training courses, and the half way is still stuck on the high shelf, so it must get up early to be not late.

Winter in the United States, people dont have to wear thick wool pants and a sweater, because indoor central heating in the winter, go out is given priority to with the car, go out just get in the car, the car also has air conditioning, so dont feel cold. Its kind of like our northeast China.

Special 3: diet

You must be very fond of pizza and cookies. These are the snacks that everyone enjoys during the break. But why eat well and sometimes not to eat? Thats because americans eat high-calorie foods, such as a pizza, so they eat them for dinner. Americans pay more attention to the nutrition of food, like to eat high-protein things, and also like to eat very sweet snack, so you cant burn Chinese food in the United States can only eat these things all day long!

You see how different Chinas urban life is from the American city life!

篇6:东西方文化的差异作文600字

前几天,我读了两篇神话——读《普罗米修斯的故事》和《燧氏钻木取火》后,我深有感触。

《普罗米修斯的故事》讲了普罗米修斯同情人类,为人类盗火结果被宙斯惩罚。《燧氏钻木取火》讲的是一个叫燧氏的年轻人在伏羲的指引下发现了钻木取火的方法。

读了两篇神话后,我发现了它们有相同点,也有不同点。相同点在于他们都是由一位天神帮助人类,带给人类光明,而且都很同情人类。不同点有两点,第一点:东方神话——《燧氏钻木取火》,伏羲同情人类,直接赐火给人类,然后将火熄灭再给出提示,告诉人类火在哪里,有人类自己寻找方法,从这里可以看出东方天神的博爱。而西方神话——《普罗米修斯的故事》我认为西方既有善良、勇敢的神,就比如普罗米修斯,他同情人类,于是冒险去见宙斯,请求宙斯把火赐给人类,可宙斯却说:“不给就是不给!”但他为什么不愿意把火给人类呢?因为宙斯自私,他希望人类永远愚昧无知,这样他就可以通知世界了。由于宙斯不赐火给人类,那么普罗米修斯也只好去盗火,结果被宙斯发现,普罗米修斯被捆在了高加索山的最高峰上,受尽折磨,这就说明了普罗米修斯的勇敢,可也写出了宙斯的自私、残酷无情。将东西方神话一对比,我发现东方天神很博爱,也很智慧,他将提示给人类,让人类自己找方法。

第二点是:《燧氏钻木取火》,伏羲指引年轻人,让他找到了永不熄灭的火种——钻木取火的方法,说明东方人民注重的是方法,方法是靠人想出来的,也就是说人们只相信人自己的力量。《普罗米修斯的故事》是普罗米修斯为人类盗火,这样会让人类觉得——神什么都可以做到,便养成了一种依赖。这说明西方的人民相信神,认为神可以给人一切。

读完这两篇神话后,解决了我的一个问题——为什么中国的发展比其它国家快,因为中国人相信自己的力量,而西方人民相信神。

Protect Traditional Chinese Culture

The passage mainly tells us the importance of protecting traditional Chinese culture, which is challenged or facing extinction because of the developing society and changing lifestyle. Besides, China is nationwide sparing no efforts to do it.

The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious development between local economic and social development. It is reported that the Guangdong government pays special attention to protecting Chaoju(潮剧), a local drama born in Chaozhou in the eastern Guangdong province.

In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture effectively. To start with, we should make a law to regulate the society’s performance. Besides, we should draw more people’s attention to it, for the more they know about the importance of culture protection, the stronger the support we can get from the public.

In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.

American culture, in a sense, is an extension of European culture, because the language of the Americans, demographic composition and her spirit of the foundation are from Europe. On the other hand, American culture with Europe, because European immigrants in the North American continent to drive away after taking the Indians, in a barren wilderness land to create a stunning is the splendid civilization. Therefore, in the United States talk about cultural practices and social propriety, it is necessary to take account of the same culture of Europe and the United States, but also pay attention to both of the opposite sex. Cultural practices is a wide scope and complexity of the topic, people involved in social life and relations In all aspects.

Of tolerance.

The United States is a country of immigrants, the ancestors from around the world. People emigrated to the United States, not only in the location to move on, but also in their country and customs of the council to a new place of residence. As miscellaneous, people their differences very obvious because the differences are very common, people do not particularly pay attention to unity. In time, the cultural practices of the Americans formed a higher level of tolerance (tolerance), the different cultures and different appraisals on tolerance, an acceptable attitude. At this point, the U.S. society feasible than the custom of other countries in the world more broadly.

From a political perspective, this tolerance of performance in the pursuit of freedom and the right to freedom of maintenance. From the religious that it reflected in the harmonious coexistence of different faiths. From the viewpoint of life, and it appeared in different communities, different ethnic communities live in peace. In a nutshell, in the United States, each person can basically arbitrary choice of different ideas, beliefs, traditions and customs and way of life; people can also keep a considerable extent, their customs and instrument. For example, Jews can celebrate their religious festivals, and Christians are to their Christmas and Easter. For example, again, the United States by Chinese in Chinatown Chinese live and work; the same token, the Vietnamese immigrants in their "little Saigon" according to Vietnams way of doing business and engaged in various activities.

Americans of tolerance, in addition to the above United States is a country that factors other than immigration, and the frequent movement of the Americans. As everyone knows, the history of the United States in the development of an important part of her history of the development of the western region. At that time, the United States Blazers or hiking, horseback or car, from east to west, from north to south, wherever there are opportunities, there Jiuwang resettlement. The frequent migration and continuous replacement of the Habitat so that people will always be in the "mobile", and the occasional different facing the phenomenon of tolerance and more easily accepted. Moreover, the current migration also can help people expand the field of vision, known more widely know, the different practices with sympathy, understanding, and gradually formed diversity rather than uniformity of the openness of the concept.

As the Americans tolerant of stronger, so very few Americans to impose its will on other people, with China Confucius "by the others do not want to, not to impose on" the very Guxun like. For example, a husband may be a Republican, but he must not support the Democratic Party forced his wife to change political stance. Similarly, perhaps the mother is a Catholic, but she must not have forced her into a Muslim convert son to change religion. In their daily lives and habits of business in normal times, this spirit of tolerance is a common occurrence, commonplace.

Based on historical documents, modern survey and statistics, as well as the result of predecessor studies, the trend and main process of forest dynamics are recognized. The forest area and forest coverage rates for each province of China from 1700 to 1949 are es- timated backward by every 50 years. Linking the result with modern National Forest Inventory data, the spatial-temporal dynamics of Chinese forest in recent 300 years (AD 1700–1998) is quantitatively analyzed. The study shows that in recent 300 years, the forest area in current territory of China has declined by 0.95×108 hm2 (or 9.2% of the coverage rate) in total, with a trend of decrease and recovery. Before the 1960s, there was a trend of accelerated de- scending. The forest area was reduced by 1.66×108 hm2 (or 17% of the coverage rate) in 260 years. While after the 1960s, there has been a rapid increase. The forest area increased by 0.7×108 hm2 (or 8% of the coverage rate) in 40 years. The study also shows that there is a significant spatial difference in the dynamics of forest. The amplitudes of increasing and de- creasing in western China are both smaller than the ones in eastern China. During the rapid declining period from 1700 to 1949, the most serious decrease appeared in the Northeast, the Southwest and the Southeast, where the coverage rate in most provinces dropped over 20%. In Heilongjiang Province, the coverage rate dropped by 50%. In Jilin Province, it dropped by 36%. In Sichuan Province and Chongqing Municipality, it dropped by 42%.

篇13:英语作文美国情况

The American tour is over, and a little bit of the American swim through time and space tunnel, drip in my heart, printed in my mind.

America is an independent country. As for education, in China, we are all the baby in the family, holding hands in our hands, a little hurt is not willing to let us, more reluctant to stay away from our parents arms. American parents are more relaxed about their children and let them succeed with their own efforts. I saw such a scene in the United States, a baby fell down, and the babys mother didnt have as much pain as her parents in China, but taught him how to get up. At the sorran school in Los Angeles, there are many big brothers and sisters who are doing volunteer work to get credits, and they create their own world with their own hands. Our Chinese students may be little princess princesses at home. But in the United States, our landlady has made us experience our own dishes and the joys of labor. Thats how two parents of different countries have different approaches to education kids. Perhaps, the pain is some, but only temporary, but the cowardice in the heart once formed, is permanent, cannot change. This is worth learning.

American thrift is more worth learning. In China, we may be a little wasteful, but in the United States, most of the meals are buffet. There are some Chinese students who have been watching for a while. Many students take a lot of food, but many of them are wasted, and americans eat as much as they can and never waste food. My MOM is a woman who knows her life well and doesnt live in a wealthy neighborhood, but her family has always been frugal. They have three cars, an armored car, a sports car and a car. Two of them are luxury cars, and one is a Mercedes Benz in the eighties. In China, people tend to drive luxury cars, and they usually drive old cars. They have a pool where they often hold parties, so that we have the privilege of meeting more foreigners.

On the first day to Los Angeles, Xu Mingjie very lucky and I attended a local wedding, it was a very romantic wedding, under the illuminate of lamplight, a couple looks very bright. Little girls and small, well-fitted dresses add another look to the wedding.

Christianity was the bishop of the United States, and in the soslan school, it was the propaganda of Christianity. In that, although we believe in Buddhism, we respect their Christian culture, which is the highlight of Chinese students abroad. Our family still goes to church on the weekend.

In the United States, we went to shopping malls, and the shop assistants were very enthusiastic about us, and we were in that crazy shopping, invisibility, which promoted the economic development of the United States. To think about, and why the salesman students enthusiasm for China, which is not Chinas continuous development, continuous increase in the national economy, despite this, we dont it is for the welfare of the United States?

After a week of study, we went on to the east, the White House, congress, the United Nations, Wall Street, Broadway... Let us experience another American amorous feelings.

I dont think americans are as gentlemanly as British people, but there are still places to learn, and Ive benefited a lot from this trip to America.

I knew a lovely girl from America, we met each other on the train. As we were almost at the same age, we communicated a lot. We shared our opinion about the culture and learned a lot.

When meeting someone for the first time it is customary to shake hands both for men and for women. Hugs are only exchanged between close friends. Kissing is not common and men never kiss other men.

Americans will usually introduce themselves by their first name and last name (such as “Hello I’m John Smith”) or if the setting is very casual by their first name only (“Hi I’m John”). The common response when someone is introduced to you is “Pleased to meet you.” Unless someone is introduced to you with their title and last name (such as Mister Smith or Miss Johnson) you should address them by their first name. Americans normally address everyone they meet in a social or business setting by their first name. However you should always address your college professors by their title and last name (such as Professor Jones) unless they ask you to do otherwise.

第一次见面的时候,男人和女人都习惯握手。拥抱只是亲密朋友之间的交换。接吻并不常见,男人从不亲吻其他男人。

美国人通常会介绍他们自己的名字和姓氏(如“你好,我是约翰·史密斯”),或者,如果设置很随便,由他们的名字只(“嗨,我是约翰”)。当某人被介绍给你时,通常的反应是“很高兴见到你”,除非有人向你介绍他们的姓和姓(如史米斯先生或约翰逊小姐),你应该称呼他们的名字.。美国人通常用他们的名字称呼他们在社交或商务场合遇到的每个人.。然而,你应该总是称呼你的大学教授的头衔和姓(如琼斯教授),除非他们要求你做其他的事情.。

It is quite common for parents to beat their children,because they think eating is a good way to make children learn and behave well.One of my neighbors made a very strict demand on his son and scolded him bitterly or smacked(稍带特定味道) him whenever he was lazy or disobedient(违抗命令的).To justify(辩解) what he did,he said,” spare the rod and ruin the child.”

Actually beating is a violent way of treating children.It does more harm and causes more hurt than good to children’s physical and psychological health.However,beating children is common occurrence(出现) in our life.Many children become disable because their parents hit them too hard.Some lost their hearing and some became lame(跛脚的).Some children develop an internal(内在的) hatred(憎恨) for their parents and protest(抗议) by running away from home.Others may become so fearful of their parents that they tremble(发抖) at the sight of their angry parents.A mother,for example,even went so far as to beat her son to death because she was not satisfied with his study.Likewise(同样地),it is not unusual that the child murdered(凶杀) his parents because of the extreme contradiction(矛盾) between them.How can children learn and grow healthily under such circumstance(环境)?

Quite often parents will be torn by pangs(剧痛) of regret(懊悔) and remorse(自责) after they have beaten their children.They feel very sad in the rest of their lives.But it is already too late.How can they bring their handicapped(有生理缺陷的) child back to healthy one?How can they relieve(减轻) pains in their children’s heart so easily?We can say beating hurts both children and parents.It is absolutely a bad way to make children learn and behave well.

Exactly speaking,children are also human beings.They have self-respect and should be respected.

ragon boat festival, often known as tuen ng festival or duan wu festival, is a traditional chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the chinese calendar. it is also known as the double fifth.[citation needed] it has since been celebrated, in various ways, in other parts of east asia as well, most notably korea.

the exact origins of duan wu are unclear, but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the chinese poet qu yuan of the warring states period. he committed uicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the chu government. the local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fishes to prevent them from eating qus body. they also sat on dragon boats, and tried to scare the fishes away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking dragon-head in the front of the boat.

in the early years of the chinese republic, duan wu was also celebrated as "poets day", due to qu yuans status as chinas first poet of personal renown.

today, people eat zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fishes) and race dragon boats in memory of qus dramatic death.
