14.A Refuge Of Your Own

Creating A Garden Sanctuary

Each of us has been blessed with an innate need to celebrate and glorify life. At a most basic level, we honor the forces that came together to bring us into being by caring for our bodies and our souls. To truly rejoice in existence, we must also learn to cultivate loveliness in those special places that replenish the soul. When we create a garden sanctuary, we are reminded that we are a part of both natures essence and something more. An outdoor retreat is a place we can surround ourselves in nature, beauty, and the life force. It is not difficult to create a sanctuarye should endeavor, however, to create sanctuaries that speak to us as individuals. Whether we have a yard, a grassy corner, a patio, or a porch at our disposal, our creative potential is infinite. Any of these spaces can become a magnificent garden. When we feel drawn to specific themes such as Zen, angels, paradise, or the ethereal, we should explore them. Dor and furniture crafted from natural materials like wood and stone blend seamlessly into nature. Yet we can also augment the natural world by filling our garden sanctuaries with statues, bells or gongs, or colorful flags. Running water, like that in a created stream or fountain, helps energy flow smoothly. If space is a concern, crystals and mirrors can fulfill the same function. Hidden features like concealed swings and reflecting pools veiled in shadow can surprise and delight. As your garden sanctuary evolves, remember to invite the elemental spirits of nature to assist you in your efforts to create a small pocket of harmony, beauty, and peace in your own backyard. If you have not already felt th! eir presence, sit quietly in your garden and reach out to them. You will feel these earthly guides at your side as you continue to develop your sanctuary. In the refuge of brilliant color, sweet scents, and stillness you create in your garden, the burdens imposed upon you by a sometimes hectic world will melt away. The splendor and tranquility of what you have brought into being will entrance you, allowing you to forget the constraints of time and space. No matter how large or small your garden sanctuary, the time you spend reveling in its pleasures will refresh your spirit and provide you with innumerable opportunities to celebrate life.

我到过杭州,曾被它那淑女般的秀美所吸引;我到过普陀山,曾被它那海天一色的静美所陶醉;而今天,我去了尼亚加拉大瀑布,便被它的壮美深深地倾倒了!

这天我们来到了尼亚加拉大瀑布,准备大饱眼福。刚来到这儿,我的耳畔边便响起了“哗哗”的水声,就像是微风拂过树梢渐近渐响;最后像潮水般涌上来,盖过了人喧马嘶,天地间只存下一片喧嚣的水声了。接着,我们乘着电梯,来到了乘游轮的地方,披上了“防护罩”——雨披,等待着与这部大自然的杰作亲密接触一下。

很快我们就上了游轮,它渐渐向瀑布驶去。还没有靠近,我便感觉有千丝万丝晶莹剔透的水珠溅到脸上,清爽无比。远看,瀑布往湖中注入的那滔滔不绝的流水,如水柱一般,冲向湖底,水花便直溅云霄,在半空中变成朦胧的烟云水雾,轻轻飘洒在我们身上,让我们享受这一阵阵水雾的轻抚,凉爽,快乐。

游轮靠瀑布越来越近了,而船只也在摇晃个不停,我们好像就要被巨大的瀑布吞噬一般,颠簸着……再看瀑布,几只在瀑布两旁壁飞翔的湖鸥,时而斗殴,时而鸣叫,顿时,和协交错,在滔滔不绝的瀑布声中奏出一曲尼亚加拉瀑布交响曲,同时也绘出一幅无与伦比的图画。突然我发现在瀑布与湖水的的交界之处出现了一道彩虹。瀑布在彩虹的衬托下显得更加壮观,迷人,多姿。

游轮渐渐靠岸了,我们上了岸,顺着石梯往上走,更加近距离地观赏瀑布。瀑布溅起的水花一阵又一阵地泼到我们身上,我们身处在雨雾中,好似仙境一般。过了一会儿,我们又来到了上游,这里的水波涛汹涌,很急,和黄果树瀑布的上游截然不同,它的上游是安详,恬静的,而尼亚加拉大瀑布的上游则是白浪滔天,呈现出的是不一样都美。很快,夕阳西下,我们恋恋不舍地告别了这美丽的地方。

“飞流直下三千尺,疑是银河落九天”。这次,我总算见识到了尼亚加拉大瀑布的光彩,它真是一部大自然的杰作啊!

1952年,经历了三年磨砺,卓别林完成了《舞台生涯》,为了给影片找出路并送子女赴欧洲读书,他准备再次出国。当他动身前申请再入境签证时,移民局来了四位官员。他们带着录音机、打字机和档案材料等物把卓别林无理地审问了三个小时。也许正是这三个小时的盘问,令卓别林下定决心离开美国

一星期后,卓别林拿到了度假6个月的签证。他叫妻子乌娜从银行提取了存款,带上孩子,于1952年9月的一个清晨,登上了“伊丽莎白女王号”客船,开始了去往伦敦的旅程。

到了伦敦后,曾有新闻界朋友采访他,请他说说美国政府和报纸为什么诬陷他。卓别林说:“可能有三方面原因。一是我的电影从《城市之光》起刺痛了一些大人物;二是我的演说。二战期间我赞成援助俄国抗击希特勒,呼吁开辟第二战场,非美活动委员会就认为我同情共产党。第三,是因为我不愿加入美国国籍。”

事实证明,卓别林逃离美国的决定是正确的。为了转移在美国的财产,乌娜独自一人回到洛杉矶。看护房屋的男仆亨利告诉她,就在他们走后,联邦调查局的人来过两次,盘问了很多事情。在卓别林登上船的第二天,船上转给他一封电报,杜鲁门政府拒绝卓别林返美入境,除非先到移民局的调查委员会去,对某些涉及政治和道德的事情说清楚。对此,卓别林所做出的抉择是放弃美国。1953年4月16日,他来到美国驻洛桑的领事馆将美国移民证交还,并告诉领事先生:“我永远不再去美国了。”这天正是他的64岁生日,他以这种方式来表示庆祝。

篇4:美国人的眼睛要睁大一点作文

全文共 1750 字

+ 加入清单

身为中国人,就算是再玩世不恭,在异国他乡也需要点爱国情怀。我,就算一个例子。

美国大概有四个多月了,无论走在那里,学校里,超市里,穿梭在茫茫的人群里,我与别人最最明显的区别,就是国籍和血统。人类是平等的,是统一的,但像国家这种本质的差别,就算是融入得再好,也不是同路人。

在国内受到的爱国主义教育,统统白费。而在美国这种地方生活一段时间,就是最好的教育。

每当这里的人得知我是大老远从中国来的时候,他们的第一句话就是“oh that’s so cool!”然后接下来文的很多问题就不是那么可爱了。

最令我气愤的一个问题:你父母在这里工作吗?不知道他们如何得到中国人都不工作这种印象,还是他们以为我们中国人是乞讨到美国的?我常常会以其人之道还其人之身反问道“你的父母工作么?”然后他们会很尴尬地走开了。

美国人是喜欢中国文化的,不如说喜欢古代中国文化,这点我承认。这里的中餐馆多如牛毛,装修也很富丽堂皇,刷上红色和黄色的漆,到处系写中国节或挂几幅国画等,一看就很有古典气息。他们也对中国表示很好奇,常常与我讨论。

显示谈到我的兄弟姐妹,我说我是独生子。然后他们就故作恍然大悟状的说“我才想起来,你们中国有计划生育。”其实他们早就想提到此事,故意在这坑里等着我。我将计就计,装作若无其事的样子说“嗯,没错。”他们见自己目的没达到,急了。“可你不觉得这样很不公平吗?”其实他们的目的很明显,让中国人说自己的国家不好,以表客观事实。

其实有些人遇到这种情况会对他们语重深长地讲中国的国情,虽然地大物博,却人口庞大,所以计划生育。我偏不,他们歪着说我就歪着答。我告诉他们,其实生一个是最好的,少些人受罪,更何况婴儿也不愿意出生……他们听了更高兴了,以为我的意思是在中国生活很艰辛,以至于婴儿都不愿意出生了。但我马上补充道,“生活是不是用两个极端?快乐与不快乐?”他们点头,“那么如果我们没出生,不就没有不快乐的事情了么?”这时他们就问,“那如果没出生不就也同时失去快乐了么?”然后就是我长年以来一直用的必杀句:“如果从来没有出生过,那么也不需要快乐啊。”他们无语,一边思考一边抓着头皮,连连称是。我就这样一自己的三寸不烂之舌安顿好这样的话题,保持了尊严,也保持了友好。

我常常把中文课本带到学校去,抽空看上两眼。

老外们见状,大惊曰:“我以为中国的书是从后面向前翻的,而且是从左至右竖着写的!”老外还真是老外,我想他们说的,是几百年前的中国。

英语课由于当堂随笔没有完成,将文档用email发回去。就这样与同学谈论起网络,他们问我和国内同学是否有联系。答:有。什么方式?答:发邮件。他们很吃惊的样子,嘴揪在一起呈o型。“你们中国还有网络?!”我火了,“你以为呢?”他们支支吾吾,“我…一直以为只有美国才有网络。”这些人,真的需要学些知识了!自为科技发达国家的公民,这点常识都不懂,可见他们思想多么片面。他们从来只是呆在自己的土地上,不去了解外面的世界,除了吃,其他概不感兴趣。

说起中国人的饮食,同学们还真能说来不少,什么炸酱面,卤面,饺子,包子…… 哈哈,老外还是认吃啊!好听话刚刚没几句,讨伐中国的话题又来了。“我听说,中国人都吃狗肉……”我无语。那是韩国人才对。

记得前天第七节课的同桌,一个印度人还问我:“你听说黄河又泛滥了么?淹死了很多人。”对于这种问题我只能哼哈地随便应付过去。挑毛病是不需要理由的,也不需要证据的。任何一条河都可能淹死人,和国家无关。

接下来是更有意思的,对面的非洲小孩儿又和我侃侃而谈中国文化大革命期间,学生是怎样不上课,怎样批斗老师的,死了多少所少人等等。那我就不明白了,为什么总是盯在别人血腥的地方,什么东西才那么做?蚊子还是苍蝇?美国南北战争究竟死了多少人,他们是如何残害奴隶的,这类话题他们避而不谈。

也许在美国人的眼里,法国就是一瓶香水,意大利就是一块比萨,埃及就是一座金字塔,英国就是一个大本钟,而中国,可能就是一件旗袍。他们所了解的都太片面,都只是隔着门缝看人。当然,这也是一种自欺欺人的方式,他们不想看到好的一面,不能接受中国已经发展强大这个事实,才选择逃避。或许很虚伪,却存在着普遍性。

综合上述,美国人的眼睛虽然生来比中国人的大一些,但在中国到底如何的这件事上,他们的眼睛还要再大一些!

篇5:一支香烟重创美国核航母

美国海军7月30日公布的“华盛顿”号核动力航母火灾原因让美国媒体一片哗然。尽管美国军方已经下令将航母指挥官撤职查办,但仍然暴露出美国海军存在着严重的管理问题。

据美国*海军时报*网站报道,今年5月22日,“华盛顿”号航母从智利驶往圣迭戈途中发生火灾。水兵奋力搏斗12个小时才把大火扑灭。船上的核反应堆没有被波及,可谓不幸中的万幸。这次火灾波及80个舱室,大量电缆与数据线被烧毁,造成至少7000万美元的损失。这次公布的调查结果显示,火灾的原因是船员擅自在禁烟区吸烟,点燃了附近储存不当的易燃物。而没有按照规定存放、随意放置在周围的90加仑制冷缩机油更是“火上浇油”。

这已不是美国海军战舰管理第一次出现类似问题。

*分析*:一个不起眼的烟头,却导致一场严重的灾情。这告诉我们:严格地管理,认真地执行,注重细节,对个人对集体,都显得相当重要。

篇6:美国的母亲节

全文共 934 字

+ 加入清单

美国,最早关于母亲节的记载是1872年,美国的朱丽娅·伍德·霍夫提出设立母亲节的建议,用以纪念和平。继而1907年,人们掀起了一场设立国家母亲节的运动。这项运动取得了成功,到1911年的时候,美国几乎每个州都开始庆祝母亲节,以表达对母亲们在塑造良好公民方面所做出努力的肯定。

1907年费城的安娜(Ana Juruif)为了发起确认全国性的母亲节而活动,她说服了母亲所属的教会,在她母亲二周年忌日——五月的第二个星期天举办母亲节庆祝活动。隔年费城人也开始于同一天举行母亲节的庆祝活动。之后,安娜和她的支持者们开始写信给部长、企业家、政治家,要求确认全国性的母亲节,被接受了。

1911年,庆祝母亲节的活动已经开展得非常广泛,不仅席卷美国的每一个州,而且连加拿大、墨西哥和南美的一些国家也都开始庆祝这个节日。美国人还把宣传母亲节的传单用十种不同文字印发到各国去,以便扩大影响。此后几年中,庆祝母亲节运动的热潮有增无已。1912年,美国专门成立了母亲节国际协会。1913年5月,美国众议院一致通过决议,号召总统以及内阁、参众两院和联邦政府的一切官员一律在母亲节佩戴白色石竹花。1914年,美国国会正式命名5月的第二个星期日为母亲节,并要求总统发布宣言,号召政府官员在所有的公共建筑物上悬挂国旗。紧接着,威尔逊总统昭告全国公民也在自己的住宅上挂国旗以表达人们对美国全体母亲的热爱和尊敬。此后美国总统每年都要发表一篇内容相同的宣言。

在胸前佩戴石竹花.颜色是有讲究的。那些母亲已经去世的人仍然佩戴白色石竹花,而母亲健在的人则佩戴红色石竹花。这一天,人们总要想方设法使母亲愉快地度过节日,感谢和补偿她们一年的辛勤劳动。最普通的方式是向母亲赠送母亲节卡片和礼物。节日里,每个母亲都会满怀喜悦的心情,接受孩子们和丈夫赠送的玫瑰花或其他花束、糖果、书和纪念品,特别是当她们收到小孩子们自己动手制作的上面用蜡笔稚气地写着:“妈妈,我爱你”的字样的卡片时,更会感到格外自豪和欣慰。但最珍贵、最优厚的礼物还是把她们从日常的家务劳动中解放出来,轻松地休息一整天。这一天,许多家庭都由丈夫和孩子们把全部家务活包下来,母亲不必做饭,不必洗盘刷碗,也不必洗衣服。不少家庭还有侍候母亲在床上吃早饭的惯例。

我在美国生活了一个月的时间,住在兔兔阿姨家中,她像妈妈一样关心呵护我,我好喜欢她,我情不自禁的喊她妈妈。妈妈给我安排的两期夏令营,分别在最初和最后的两周时间内。

每天上午九点,妈妈要为我和两个妹妹打点行装,背上午餐,然后把我们送到营地。在这里,我先后学习了自己动手扎遮雨帐篷、划船、射箭、攀岩、滑索、扔飞盘,还学习玩沙滩排球、击打台球、测试短距离速跑、排练汇报演出节目等,我真的很开心啊!

最让我感觉难忘的是攀岩滑索,太刺激了!在我们营地的边缘,矗立着一个木制攀岩塔,有十多米高呢。我们九岁年龄组的营员全都参加了攀岩活动,老师要求按生日大小排序出场,我是第二个上场的。我可一点也不怯场,老师帮我在腰间扎上安全绳索,我可以手拉脚蹬攀岩塔上的铁环,逐级攀爬。黑人老师站在塔顶,我爬上以后,老师再次帮我调整好安全带,然后我就离开塔顶,沿着高悬在空中的索道,飞速的向对面滑去。那感觉真的好爽、好刺激啊!

只可惜每个人只有一次这样的攀爬速滑机会,我真的好难忘。

篇9:美国恐怖悬疑电影《万能钥匙》观后感

全文共 1143 字

这是一个,需要在太阳很好的中午时分,找个伴一起看的片子。

“太阳很好”是为了中和一下阴森森的气氛。

而“找个伴一起”,则有两个意义:一是因为我实在是属于叶公好龙的典型,需要有人壮胆;而另一却是在觉得很沉闷没圈没点的时候一起聊聊天。

片子拿到有一段时间了,却因为一直都没有勇气一个人看,而耽搁到现在。

逮到小宁在的时候,又恰巧没有其他琐事必须要在那个时间完成。于是,终于有机会,浮出水面。

起初还是明亮的色调,平淡无奇的叙述。

一个年轻的看护,因为医院形同虚设的临终关怀,而通过报纸,选择了一份私人护理的工作。

转而光线昏暗起来,一路刻意制造出来的噱头:突然出现的瞎眼老太太;荒废了一半的别墅;诸如此类的。

似乎对这种形式的恐怖有些不以为意了。

只觉得人为的痕迹多过于心理的恐惧。

一对住在私人别墅里的老夫妇,老先生因为中风无法说话和行动,老太太给了看护一把可以打开别墅里所有房间门的万能钥匙

真正是“好奇害死猫”,但即便是不好奇,猫基本上也是活不长的吧。

偶然的机会,看护走进了阁楼里的一间密室。里面摆放着都是诡异的巫术用品,被封了眼睛和嘴的小人;符咒的唱片;照片;密封罐子里的组织……

出于好奇,看护去寻求破解巫术的方法。中风的老先生居然断断续续说出了,恐惧的根源和要逃离的居然是老太太。

故事越来越落入自己的猜想,不过就是老太太为了遗产之类的原因用巫术谋害了老先生。

几乎又要再次得意起来,自己真是无敌的编剧E啊!

可是……这一次却大大出乎意料。

看护向负责老夫妇遗嘱的律师求救,说明了自己的猜测,老太太为了实现“祭献”,要把老先生的生命占位已有用来延长自己的生命。

可是这样的坦诚却没有换来援助的双手,律师将看护挟持回了老夫妇的别墅。

好不容易逃离了魔爪,却一失足重新跌回。

在越来越深的恐惧中,看护使用了从老太太那里得到的“庇护”,用自己的鲜血和毛发在地上画出符咒。

可“庇护”的作用,并不是让她免受伤害,而是将她困在当下。

事情终于缓缓展开清晰起来。

在很久远之前,房子的主人有一对黑人夫妇仆人,这对仆人是精通巫术的术师。

某次PARTY上,这对黑人夫妇教两个孩子实施巫术,被发现时已然魂不附身被处以极刑。从此之后,传说这对黑人夫妇的鬼魂始终在房子中游荡。

可是,真实的情况却是:在实施的正是“祭献”的法术,而祭献的原理,却是“交换”。

在法术实施中,灵魂俨然已经进入到了祭献的躯体内。

重新醒转来的看护,发出的却是原来老太太的声音,她深情的称呼律师,用的是黑人男仆的姓名……

并排躺在救护车里的老太太,与老先生对望一眼,绝望。

只有当你相信的时候,巫术才会真正发挥出作用。

高潮只在影片最后十几分钟里出现。

对于我们有耐心看完全片的人来说,真是珍贵的礼物。

原本觉得不以为意的细节,在傍晚睡觉之前全部反馈出来。

竟觉得阴冷从背后生出来……

一天晚上,我正在睡大觉。突然,被一阵悉悉索索的声音惊醒。我悄悄地起床一看,没人!于是,我又回到床上,准备睡觉。可刚转过身,就看到床边有一个人影。我一把抓住他,原来是弟弟哲西

还有一次,我拿手指逗弟弟玩。他真的一口就咬住了我的手,疼得我眼泪都流了出来。哲西一看,急得“哇”地哭了起来。一会,他又过来轻轻地摸了摸我的手指,好像在说“对不起”。这时,我想起我1岁的时候,也不懂事,不小心咬了奶奶的手。我现在想,要是那时我懂事的话,可能就不会那样做了,该有多好。

其实,哲西是我在美国工作的舅舅、舅妈的儿子,英文名字叫“JESSE”。去年夏天,他在我家呆了一段时间,随后就回美国了。

前些天,哲西在美国跟我打电话,一个劲地叫我“sister!sister!”听得我心里甜滋滋的。妈妈随后告诉我,不久,哲西弟弟又要跟外公、外婆一起回长沙住一阵子。我心里特别高兴。

哲西现在2岁多了,我在电脑上看到舅舅发来的照片,发现他个子长高了,还是那么胖乎乎的,总是那么爱笑。

哲西弟弟认为我长得很漂亮。我也好喜欢我的哲西弟弟呀。

The understanding of American culture must not end with what we know on TV, because she has the most distinctive features of her own, which is diversity. As a country with a large immigrant population, the United States does not have a unique way of life, there is no only standard of conduct, and there is no unique culture. The diversity of the United States penetration in all aspects of the country, the following guidelines may not be able to help you overcome all from the cultural differences, but hope to everyone to prepare for the basic study in the United States and general plan to help.

Americans have a very different lifestyle than Chinese people. American food is light and easy to make, and the main course is meat, fish and chicken. A meal usually consists of only one main course, and salads and coffee are by no means less. Hot dogs and hamburgers are two of the most popular fast foods.

Americans are so active that more than a fifth of them move every year. The most detailed list of houses and apartments available on Sunday in newspapers across the country can be used to find homes or to find local estate agents. In addition to paying for rent, the rent house generally pays for utilities, namely gas, electricity, heating, hot water and simple electrical repairs and other repairs. The rent is usually a month, usually on the first day of the month. Electricity in most parts of the United States is 110-120 volts, 60Hz.

Almost every home in the United States has a car, and the American highway is very developed and accessible, so many americans work very far from where they live. They often go on a family trip during the holidays. The most popular means of transportation in the city are buses and subways. The subway is usually run day and night. Taxis are usually paid by distance or by distance. The whole country executes the right driving, the big city executes traffic regulation especially strict.

The American concept of time

Because of the fierce competition, the American society is full of movement and change, people are always in a hurry, and the result also has formed the americans time view of tension. "Time is money" is the most accurate expression of the American attitude to time. Americans value time more than just because they think time is a tangible thing, but more importantly they recognize the urgency and lack of time. Americans believe that the question of time can fully reflect a persons self-cultivation, and his respect for others. Therefore, it is necessary to have a detailed schedule and strict adherence to it.

So we stress that being on time is not just about the individuals schedule, but if youre not on time, it reflects your lack of respect for others time. In the study of life, apart from being on time, it is necessary to observe the deadline of various learning tasks. American schools generally teach students a subject, and then a group of students form a study group. Everyone is responsible for different aspects of learning team, if you dont have the prescribed deadline to complete you responsible for that part, influence is the whole teams performance, it is also a lot of American students constantly complaining about a problem. So being on time is a basic requirement for studying and living in the United States.

The way americans communicate

Talking to people is the most basic form of interpersonal communication. When youre talking to friends from all over the world, youre not just talking to each other, youre communicating with each other. The way language is expressed can often reflect the characteristics of a particular region or country.

Direct refreshing

Most of the time, conversations in the United States belong to a tendency to get information. They like to ask a lot of questions, and in a very direct way. They will use the most simple and direct language to get the information they want, the process, if they do not pay too much attention to wording beautiful, whether express tactfully, it sometimes inevitably conceded the interlocutors have a feeling not too polite. Answer this question, too, when the answer is no, americans will tell you "no" directly, also wont go to touch up for his answer, and if you dont have to know in advance to their speech habits, it felt embarrassed is inevitable.

Positive questions

Another obvious feature of the American way of communication is that there is no hesitation in asking questions. In the course of conversation, if americans dont understand what they dont understand, they often ask each other questions in a timely manner until they understand it. This feature is encouraged in class. In American classrooms, students can present any questions to the classroom at any time, and the lecturers will be more than happy to answer questions for students. Therefore, American classroom will always make students absorb knowledge in a relaxed, interactive and positive atmosphere.

body language

The tools of human communication are not just words, but body language. Spoke of the gestures, body posture, and facial expressions are the key to proper use of body language, we will divide the occasion, object, subject of flexible adjustment and use body language. Eye contact is the key of the above elements. Keep your eyes on the other side of the conversation while youre talking. This is something americans value too much.

Here are a few topics that can be used to talk to almost all americans:

Weather and mood

Some of my past experiences

My own campus life, or work content

Car, fashion, shopping, TV, music, clothing and other casual topics

At the same time, we should avoid the following topics:

Savings, income and other topics related to the personal economic situation

Family situation

Religious beliefs and so on

The last thing to note is that when you dont have a good grasp of your sense of humor, its best not to play it at will. You know, different countries, different culture, have different understanding of humor, and the appropriate humor can active conversation atmosphere, it is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstanding, or conversely.

Were divided into 50 states, each state has different administrative rules and regulations, combined with geographical location, climate condition difference, leads to the residents of the states have different living habits. The same is true of Americas diversity.

Climate change is a top priority. On the other hand is psychological preparation. Residents in different regions have different characteristics, such as: the east people look is always in a hurry, rush about for work, but with their southern leisurely, quiet and warm hospitality is famous for its character, the residents of the Midwests character can be described as practical, stubborn, and tradition, the western residents seem to be more independent, attach importance to individualism, live along the west coast of the United States people impressed us is recreational, relaxed and optional. Youre going to be on a trip to the United States, and youre going to have to look at the cities where youre going to school, and youre going to have a general idea of what youre going to do in these areas.

对于美国文化的认识决不能止于从电视上了解到的内容,因为,她有着自己最鲜明的特点,那就是多样性。作为一个拥有庞大移民人口的国家而言,美国不存在唯一的生活方式,不存在唯一的行为标准,更不存在唯一的文化。美国的多样性渗透在国家的各个方面,以下的指南也许不能帮你克服所有因文化差异而带来的困扰,但希望能对大家为留学美国而做的基本准备和大致计划有所帮助。

美国人的生活习惯与中国人有很大不同,美国食物味道清淡,制作简单迅速,主菜为肉、鱼、鸡类。一餐中一般仅一道主菜,而沙拉和咖啡是绝不能少的。热狗和汉堡包是最流行的两种快速食品。

美国人生性好动,每年都有超过1/5的人搬家。各地星期日的报纸登载周内租售房屋与寓所的最详尽名单,可以通过这些资料找房子,也可以找当地的地产经纪人。租房子除要付租外,一般还要付公用事业费,即煤气、电、暖气、热水和简单的电器修理及其他修理费。租金通常一个月,一般每月的第一天付。美国大部分地区的电力为110-120伏,60Hz。

美国几乎每家都有小汽车,美国的高速路十分发达,四通八达,因此很多美国人工作地点与居住地很远。在假日里,他们经常全家驾车出游。市内最常用的交通工具是公共汽车和地铁。地铁一般都是日夜开行。出租汽车一般按路程(短程)或时间(远程)计费。全国实行靠右行车,大城市执行交通法规尤为严格。

美国人的时间观念

美国社会由于竞争激烈,充满了运动和变化,人们始终处于奔忙之中,结果也就养成了美国人的紧张时间观。“时间就是金钱”这句话是美国人对于时间的态度的最准确表达。美国人对于时间的珍视不仅仅因为他们认为时间是一种切实的事物,更重要的是他们认识到了时间的紧迫和缺乏。美国人相信,在时间的问题上可以充分反应出一个人的自身素质修养,以及他对于他人的尊重。所以,有一份详细的作息时间表,并严格的遵守它,是相当必要的。

所以我们强调做到准时,不仅仅是关乎到个人的日程安排,若你没有做到准时,反应出的是你对他人时间的不尊重。在学习生活中,除了准时上课外,更需要遵守的是各种学习任务的截止时间安排。美国学校的教学方式一般是老师安排给学生一项课题,然后会由学生几个人之间结成学习小组共同来进行。学习小组中的每个人都会负责不同的方面,如果你没有在规定的截止日期内完成你负责的那一部分,影响的就是整个小组的成绩,这也是很多美国学生不断在抱怨的一个问题。所以,做到准时是在美国学习和生活的一个最基本的要求。

美国人的交流方式

与人交谈是人际交往中最基础的形式。当你与来自世界各地的朋友们交谈时,你们之间交流的不仅仅是彼此的观点和话题,更深层次的是在进行着文化的交流。语言表达的方式往往可以反应出某个地区或是某个国家的特色。

◎直接爽快

大多时候,美国人的谈话属于有一种想要获取信息的趋势。他们喜欢提出很多问题,并且是用很直接的方式。他们会用最简单直接的语言表达来获取自己想要的信息,这过程中,他们并不太在意措辞是否优美,意思表达是否婉转等问题,这有时不免会让与之对话者有一种不太礼貌的感觉。回答问题也是一样,当答案是否定的时候,美国人会直接告诉你“不“,同样不会去为他的答案进行润色,若是你没有提前了解到他们这种说话习惯,那感觉尴尬就是在所难免的了。

◎积极提问

美国人的交流方式中还有一个明显的特点就是毫不犹豫的提问。在交谈过程中,如果美国人有不明白,没听清的地方时,他们通常会及时的向对方把问题提出,直到弄懂为止。这一特点在课堂上成为被鼓励的做法。在美国的课堂上,学生可以随时向授课教室提出任何相关问题,而授课者都会极为乐意的为学生解答问题。所以,美国的课堂总是会让学生在轻松,互动,积极的氛围里吸收知识。

◎肢体语言

人类交流的工具不仅仅是语言,还有肢体语言。说话时的手势,身体的姿势,以及脸部的表情都是恰当运用肢体语言的关键,我们要分场合,分对象,分话题的灵活调整和运用肢体语言。其中目光接触则是上述要素中的关键。交谈时要时刻保持自己的目光是与对方相接触的,目光自然和善即可。这一点也是美国人相当看重的。

这里我们给大家提供几个很适合与几乎所有美国人交谈的话题:

天气情况和心情

自己以往的某些经历

自己的校园生活,或是工作内容

汽车,时尚,购物,影视,音乐,服装等休闲话题

同时我们应该避免以下话题:

存款,收入等与个人经济情况有关的话题

家庭情况

宗教信仰等等

最后需要提醒大家的一点是,当你对自己的幽默感并没有十足的把握时,最好不要随意发挥它。要知道,不同国家,不同文化,对幽默的认识是有所不同的,恰当的幽默可以活跃谈话气氛,反之则很容易引起不必要的误解或是不愉快。

美国一共划分为50个州,每个州都有不同的行政法规,再加上地理位置,气候条件的差异,就导致了各州的居民都有着不同的生活习惯。这里同样体现的是美国的多样性。

气候不同是首要考虑的问题。另外一方面就是心理上的准备。不同地区的居民有着不同的性格特征,比如:东部的人看起来总是匆匆忙忙的,为工作而奔波着,南部的人却是以他们悠闲,平静并且热情好客的性格特点而闻名,中西部的居民的性格可以被形容成实际的,固执的,还有一点传统,西部居民显得比较独立,重视个人主义,沿西海岸居住的美国人给我们的印象就是休闲,放松,随意。将要踏上美国之旅的你,需要针对就读学校所处城市,在这些方面搜集资料,提前有个大体的概念。

今年寒假,我到美国参加一年一度的“施坦尼斯国际音乐节”。1月25日,我们从上海浦东机场出发,飞了18个小时,横跨太平洋,来到美国旧金山。

这次坐的飞机我从来没有见过。机内,每个座位前都有一个小屏幕。当飞机开飞时,小屏幕上就会出现几个选择:“飞行情况”“娱乐”“健康”“电影”和“音乐欣赏”。我觉得无聊,便选择了“电影”,“电影”中分“巨片”、“中国影片”、“日本影片”、“美国影片”和“韩国影片”。我点击了“巨片”中的《海豚的故事》。这部影片特别煽情,让人感动。但接下来的十个小时左右就难熬了,我就像屁股上长了个钉子似的,不停地乱动。而且,这个航班是要到1月26日下午到达旧金山的,而我在飞机上又睡不着,困死了。

终于到旧金山了。我们先去宾馆将行李放下来,接着来到世界第二大学-----斯坦福大学游览、参观、学习。美国街道宽敞,还特别干净,尽管绿化很多,但地上不见一片落叶。而且我听说,在美国,随地吐痰、随地大小便等是要罚款200~1000美元不等的,不像我们中国,就罚个五元十元的,也难怪没有美国强盛。

美国对小孩特别关心爱护。有一次,跟我们一起前来参加比赛的安娜妈妈因为安娜自己跑去和别人玩,让她焦急的找了安娜一小时,所以一时气急,轻轻的打了安娜的小脸蛋一下。谁知,过了2分钟,2名警察就跑了过来,说安娜妈妈虐待小孩,要把她抓到警察局去,要不是有个台湾人为她解围,估计她真的要被拘留了。

美国真是一个严于律己的国家啊!

Different social attitudes: The british are, in some ways, less conservative than Americans - the drinking age is 18, not 21, homosexual civil unions are legal, and abortion hasnt been a serious political issue in years. Mixing religion and politics is extremely rare in the UK. On the other hand, there are stricter controls on some things - its much harder to get a driving licence, and the age requirement is higher than in most states, there are speed cameras everwhere, CCTV cameras in many public places (although they may or may not be working), and carrying weapons or other objects for "self defence" is illegal (in particular, note that pepper spray is illegal).

Getting into a debate about the right to bear arms will be very time consuming, and may also lead people to think that youre a gun-nut before theyve got to know you properly.

Smoking in enclosed public places is illegal - that includes pubs, the underground, train stations... more or less any non-residential building actually... (similar to New York, so not so much of a cultural difference there).

I see a show about painting. An exhibition at a private art gallery is a way of introducing a new artist to the public .

The idea is to stage an event that will create interest in the artist and stimulate sales of his or her work. Exhibitions of painting , sculpture, and photography at public museums and galleries are different from private showings.

The works exhibited at public museums are by established, well-known artists. Many exhibitions include works from the museum’s permanent collection—that is, works owned by the museum.

篇19:美国爱情电影观后感_他只是没有那么喜欢你

全文共 1521 字

+ 加入清单

“所有未婚女青年都该去看一下这部电影。”电影的开头,很有趣。从非洲某部落的土著,到纽约高级餐厅里的白领,从体态富贵的中年妇人,到魔鬼身材的窈窕少女,世界上,几乎每一个角落里,都有女生在问:为什么他没有给我打电话?为什么他不来找我?为什么他突然失去了联系?然后,这样的女生身边,总有一群劝解她的死党好友。好友总是说,“他这样做只是因为太爱你了”,“也许他害羞”,“也许他自卑”,“也许他不知道怎么联络你”,“相信我,他肯定是喜欢你的”……女人们只想赶快让姐妹们笑起来,却很少想该怎么让她们清醒。事实是,也许他只是不想找你。

电影说,如果一个男人真的喜欢你,他会动用一切力量去找到你,手机,email,msn,google……这已经不是石器时代了,真正喜欢你,即便经历海啸、洪水,即使你消失在人海,大海捞针他依然会找到你。如果他答应你的事却没有做到,哪怕那只是一个电话。不要给他找借口,“他真的很忙所以忘了”、“至少他真的与我道歉了”……他很忙,你也不轻松,这个城市有谁不忙?是忙到即将就任美国总统,还是一个小时有好几亿的生意要谈?有手机、有快速拨号、甚至有语音拨号,有时压根没想打电话,电话就从裤兜里拨出去了,如果真的喜欢你就不会忘记,如果忘记说明他不在乎你失望。男人对自己想要的东西是永远不会说“忙”的。如果他暧昧不清。不要替他解释:“他以前受过伤”、“他刚刚分手/离婚,他想慢慢来”、“他习惯了自由”……

一个男人若是真的喜欢你,就不会暧昧不清,就会昭告天下对你的所有权。如果喜欢你,但由于私人原因想慢慢来,他会立即把这一点明确告诉你。他不会让你猜来猜去,因为他不想让你失落而离他而去。如果他不愿意见你的朋友和家人,他不愿意带你走进他的圈子,说因为这只是两个人的事,那么请自动翻译成“我只想用你来消磨时间”,“我不太喜欢你”。如果他背叛你。不要去想:“他喝多了”、“那只是偶尔出现的意外”、“他是不小心的”……背叛没有借口。背叛这种事情是不会“不小心就发生”的,他不可能说“噢,我不小心摔了一跤,正好摔到别人床上去了。”如果他都喝得醉醺醺才来找你,而不愿意在清醒时为你改变,那么就该离开,因为长远的生活是需要清醒的。如果时机成熟但他依然不想结婚,也许仅仅意味着“不想和你结婚”,那些说“不想结婚”的人最后一定会结婚,只是不是和你如果他不断的与你分手,然后又来找你和好。

如果他突然莫名其妙的消失了。如果他是已婚。那么多那么多的如果,其实都只有一个答案。有时我们宁愿相信一个男人太害怕、太紧张、太自卑、太爱前女友、太敏感、太忙、童年阴影太多、家庭压力太大、太累……却不愿意看清很简单的事实。是的,他不是太忙,不是受过伤,不是有童年阴影,不是遇到了意外,不是要就任总统,不是脑震荡得了短暂性失忆,不是手机掉进了火锅,不是有健忘症,更不是你已经坚强到可以令他不担心,他只是没有那么喜欢你而已。

《Hes Just Not That Into You》里,我最爱的一段台词。那是名叫Gigi的女生,在误会一个男生喜欢她,然后表白之后发现是误会,被男生冷嘲热讽之后,说的一段话。Gigi说:我也许是太敏感太会小题大做,但至少那意味着我还在乎。你以为用上这些所有能看透女生的规则你就赢了吗?你也许不会再受伤,也不会再让自己出糗尴尬,但是你也永远不会再体会到那样的爱。你不是赢,是孤独。也许,我做了很多很傻的事情,可是我知道,这样的我会比你更快找到那个对的人。相信自己的感觉,喜欢自己的人生。也许所谓的happy ending并没有包括要给你一个perfectguy,也许所谓的幸福结局,就是抱着永不放弃的希望,继续前行。含泪奔跑,华丽跌倒。人山人海,边走边爱。

一支香烟重创美国航母

美国海军2008年7月30日公布的“华盛顿”号核动力航母火灾原因让美国媒体一片哗然。尽管美国军方已经下令将航母指挥官撤职查办,但仍然暴露出美国海军存在着严重的管理问题。

据美国《海军时报》网站报道,2008年5月22日,“华盛顿”号航母从智利驶往圣迭戈途中发生火灾。水兵奋力搏斗12个小时才把大火扑灭。船上的核反应堆没有被波及,可谓不幸中的万幸。这次火灾波及80个舱室,大量电缆与数据线被烧毁,造成至少7000万美元的损失。这次公布的调查结果显示,火灾的原因是船员擅自在禁烟区吸烟,点燃了附近储存不当的易燃物。而没有按照规定存放、随意放置在周围的90加仑制冷缩机油更是“火上浇油”。

这已不是美国海军战舰管理第一次出现类似问题。

【分析感悟】一个不起眼的烟头,却导致一场严重的火灾,造成了巨大的损失。这告诉我们:严格地管理,认真地执行,注重每个细节,对于一个人和一个集体来说,都是相当重要的。

【适用话题】管理、细节、自觉意识、制度与执行力、祸患常积于忽微
