东西方文化的差异英语手抄报【热门20篇】

Despite popular belief, Mothers Day is not just a holiday invented by Hallmark, but rather it is a holiday dating back several millennia.

The earliest known Mother’s Day originated in Ancient Greece honoring Rhea, mother of all deities, in an annual spring festival. The Romans honored Cybele, the same mother of all deities, and celebrated this festival by calling it the “Hilaria.” Early Christians continued the tradition by celebrating the Virgin Mary, on the fourth Sunday of Lent. In England, the celebration eventually expanded to include all mothers.

Mother’s Day was not an official holiday in the United States until 1914. Modern Americans can thank the perseverance and determination of a woman named Anna Jarvis who, deeply devoted to her own mother, helped to make Mother’s Day an official U.S. holiday.

Jarvis’s mother, Anna Maria Reeves Jarvis, was an activist during the Civil War and lost 8 of her 12 children before they reached adulthood. When she died in 1905, Anna (daughter) was distraught and vowed to devote her life to honoring her mother. Her devotion led her to strive to appoint an official U.S. holiday to recognize mothers. Though Mother’s Day had been celebrated informally for many years, Jarvis wrote many important figures (including U.S. congressmen and prosperous businessmen), imploring them to back Mother’s Day as an official holiday.

Anna’s efforts finally paid off. In 1910, the governor of West Virginia declared Mothers Day a state holiday on the second Sunday in May. The following year, every other state followed suit. By 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill declaring Mother’s Day a Federal Holiday.

At first, celebrations of Mothers Day were relatively private, where children would accompany their mothers to the churches where their baptisms were held. Gradually though, Mothers Day has flourished into a significant and memorable occasion where many people express their love for their mothers through thoughtful gifts and quality time with family.

前几天，我们在课堂上学了《普罗米修斯的故事》和《燧氏钻木取火》，我对东西方文化也有了新的看法。

《普罗米修斯的故事》讲的是普罗米修斯同情人类，为人类盗取了天火，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天神伏羲的指引下找到了钻木取火的办法。

他们有着相同点和不同点，他们的相同点是：《普罗米修斯的故事》中普罗米修斯发现人们住在山洞里饥寒交迫；人们被野兽捕食，甚至彼此猎食——人们实在是一切生物中最可怜的了。而《燧氏钻木取火》中大神伏羲想让人知道火的用处。从这里可以看出火的起源都是人类不知道怎么用火、也不知道火是什么时候开始的。所以天神同情人类、可怜人类，想帮助人类。

他们的不同点一：《普罗米修斯的故事》中普罗米修斯他把几个冷得发抖的人从山洞中叫出来，为他们生了火，叫他们用火取暖的方法。从这里可以看出普罗米修斯是直接把火种给了人类。而《燧氏钻木取火》中伏羲大展神通，在山林中降下了一场雷雨，雷电劈在树木上，树木燃烧起来，很快就变成了熊熊大火。从这里看出伏羲是想让人类自己去发现这种叫火的东西。

第二个不同点：西方神话中的西方天神有的是自私、有的是博爱的。宙斯就是自私自利的，而普罗米修斯就是博爱的。在普罗米修斯向宙斯索要火种时，宙斯冷酷无情地说不给，所以在宙斯不同意后，普罗米修斯为了让人类生活条件变好，只好去盗取火种。但东方文化中，东方天神是智慧的，伏羲大神而是教会人们如何得到火种。《燧氏钻木取火》中的燧氏学会了取火的方法，他找来各种树枝，耐心地用不同的树枝进行摩擦。终于树枝上冒烟了，然后钻出火了。这样人类就找到了取火的方法——钻木取火。

从这里可以看出东方是智慧的，什么事都是要自己来想办法的。而西方是自私的、博爱的，什么事都是神来为你受罚。所以东方更相信人的力量，而西方是更崇尚神的力量。

The human race has entered a completely new stage in its history,along with

the advance of the society and the increaceingly rapid economic globalization

and urbanization, which resulted in the phenomenon that we are accustomed to

living a very fast rhythm lifestyle,ignoring the Chinese traditional

culture.

It is universally acknowledged that Chinese culture has a history of more

than two thousand years, which once had great influence on the world, such as

Japan, South Korea and other Asian and European countries. As one of the four

ancient civilizations,China creates many splendid cultures,such as the four

ancient Chinese inventions,which benefited human society in the history.

Although China risks copying the Western lifestyle’s worst aspects,

especially of unhealthy eating and drinking,Which once gave rise to many

problems.Fortunately,Chinese begin to realize the importance of Chinese

traditional culture.Such examples might be given easily,Chinese traditional

culture was added into our CET4 and CET6 ,which help us get hold of it

better.

How to overcome culture shock

Some good ways to successfully minimize and overcome culture shock are to read about the place where you will be staying and the things you will be doing, also, if possible, speak with someone already living in the new environment.

Once you are there, keep in mind that people and customs may be very different from what you are used to. Having realistic expectations and realizing that difficulties and misunderstandings may occur will help you keep a cool head when they do, and keeping an open mind will allow you to find solutions to those problems that may arise.

When possible interact with the local population. Dont succumb to the temptation to isolate yourself, even if it is within a group of compatriots. Locals will generally be pleased to introduce you to their culture and willing to answer questions. Dont be afraid of making mistakes. When you are eager to learn people are usually more than willing to meet you half-way and learn from you in turn.

Find ways to keep in touch with family and friends at home. Sometimes you just need to talk with someone who fully understands who you are and feels that your way of being is not strange, or rude. Keeping in touch also makes the homecoming process much easier.

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.

照家乡的老规矩，春节差不多在腊月二十几就开始了，在这段期间，家家户户忙着打扫屋子，洗床单窗帘，买腊肉香肠等吃的东西，准备过年。腊月二十六家家贴红红的对联，可喜庆了。

除夕真热闹。家家赶做年夜菜，到处都是酒肉的香味，男女老少都穿起新衣。一家人围在一张圆桌上开开心心的吃连夜饭，大人们还会给孩子门压岁钱。除夕家家灯火通明，不许间断。天一黑，滨江路上就开始放起了鞭炮，礼花，满天五彩滨纷的礼花，鞭炮声不间断。午夜零时，全城礼花声鞭炮声震耳欲聋，仿佛要把整幢震垮似的。这一夜，除了很上的孩子，没有什么睡得站，都要守岁。我 却在凌晨一点方左右，就呼呼大睡了。

正月一的光景与除夕截然不同;铺户都关门休息，门前堆放着昨夜燃放的爆竹纸皮，全城都在休息。这天，大多数人们都去逛公园，逛庙会，可开心了。

元宵上市，春节的又一个高潮到了。正月十五，家家张灯结彩，红火而美丽。还会在那里赏月，圆圆的月亮，像一个大九的玉盘。家里在电视机面前，看元宵“喜乐会”，一家人你一句我一句的，十分开心。

家乡春节多姿多彩，最快乐的当属我们小朋友了，除了能得到压岁钱以外，最开心的是我们可以轻松自在的玩耍。过年真快乐!

正月十五一过就是春节的末尾了，该工作的工作，该上学的上学，日子恢复了往前的平静。

汉语中用“鬼”组成的词如“鬼雄、鬼魅、鬼才”之类举不胜举，民间关于鬼的传说更无法搜集穷尽。我国的鬼文化源远流长，达到几近完美的程度。

在上古神话中难以见到死后世界的描绘，“鬼”字最初也并不是现在的意义。甲骨文中“鬼”本是会意字，下面是个“人”字，上面是个可怕的脑袋，意即像人的怪物。后来逐渐演化成人死之后所变之物。《礼记"祭义》已说得很明确：“众生必死，死必归士，此之谓鬼。”《礼记"祭法》则进一步指出：“庶人庶士无庙，死曰鬼。”那就是达官贵人死后有庙供奉，终年有人祭祀，则成了神，普通百姓死后无庙享祭，四处飘泊，才是鬼。我国第一部辞书《说文》中解释的“鬼，人所归为鬼”就是现在的含义。先秦典籍中涉及到“鬼”的的文字很多，孔夫子有名句“敬鬼神而远之”，可见儒家是信奉鬼神的，但只是“敬”而已。后来虽有东汉王充的无鬼论，但总还无法动摇国人对鬼神的迷信。到了清代蒲松龄笔下，虽有凶神恶煞般的厉鬼，但更多的是重情意、懂礼仪年轻漂亮的女鬼，读了《聊斋》之后，不但不觉得鬼可怕，反而觉得十分可爱。

我国鬼文化的完善和充实得益于佛道两教。道教是我们地产，佛教是汉魏时从西土传人，融入儒家文化和世俗文化，人死后的阴间世界(佛家也称冥间)，也就是鬼们生活的世界逐渐构建起来。道家的主要建筑是丰都城，并在四川东部长江之滨的平都山上具体演示。风景秀美的平都山本是道家的七十二福地之一，西汉的王方平和东汉的阴长生都曾在此修炼，后得道成仙。丰都的由仙而鬼，与两位仙人的姓氏有关，王、阴倒读便是阴王，遂成了“阴间之王”，经过历代的演绎，加上《西游记》《钟馗传》等神魔小说的渲染，丰都便被营建成一座阴森可怖的鬼城，于是有了奈何桥、鬼门关、阴阳界、天子殿、无常殿、城隍庙等阴间地面和各级官府。比之于道教的阴间，佛教的冥间要完整系统得多。佛教有所谓“十界”之说，也就是世界上存在着十种境界，分别是佛、菩萨、缘觉、声闻、天、人、阿修罗、畜生、恶鬼、地狱。前四者称“四圣”，即已经超凡入圣，脱离了生死轮回之苦，后六者叫“六凡”，要在秽土中不尽地轮回，最后三者又叫“三恶道”“三恶趣”，是更为不幸的境界，而地狱则是不幸之最。说起地狱，叫人不寒而栗，且有十八层之多，越往下层，苦难越深重。地狱中不但有阎罗、判官、鬼卒等凶神恶煞，还有刀山、油锅、碾盘、锯解、石磨种种酷刑，因此人死后最怕的是进入十八层地狱。

鬼文化的的构成要素除了鬼世界外，当然还离不开鬼节。我国重要的鬼节有两个：清明和农历七月十五。

清明祭扫坟茔和丧葬礼俗有关。据载，我国古代“墓而不坟”，就是说只打墓坑，不筑坟丘，因此无从祭扫。后来墓而且坟，祭扫之俗便有了依托。秦汉时代，祭墓已经成为不可或缺的礼俗。《后汉书"明帝记》引《汉官仪》云：“古不墓祭，秦始皇起寝于墓侧，汉因而不改。诸陵寝皆以晦、望、二十四气、三伏、社、腊及四时上饭。”皇帝几乎是逢节便祭，一般官吏和普通百姓没那么多时间和金钱，便逐渐定格在二十四节气中的清明。届时，官府允许官吏请假祭扫，民间也“田野道路，士女遍满，卑吏佣丐，皆得上父母丘坟。”到了唐代，祭扫之举已将寒食、清明合二而一了，时值春暖花开，可以挑担载酒，热热闹闹去上坟，清明不但是祭祀的鬼节，也成了踏青游乐的日子。

至于七月十五，包容的节俗比较复杂，既是民间的鬼节，又是道家的中元节，佛教的盂兰盆节，僧道俗三流合一。道教有所谓天官、地官、水官，合称三官，这三位是玉帝派驻人间的代表，每年都要考察人间的善恶，向上天汇报。三官分别以正月十五、七月十五、十月十五为诞辰，这三个日子也叫三元。七月十五日，叫中元，正值地官校籍赦罪之时，这一天，他要拿出厚厚的花名册，根据神仙、凡人、动物们的表现，勾勾画画，赦罪免刑。民间在中元节这一天搞一些祭祀活动，拯救那些孤魂野鬼，应当与地官的赦罪有关。七月十五又是佛教的盂兰盆节。据说释迦牟尼有个叫目连的弟子，其母虽然年轻漂亮，却无嘉言懿行，爱财小气，尤其仇视僧人，死后被打入恶鬼行列，目连按佛组指点，在七月十五日这一天，准备百味五果，各种用具，装入盆中，供养十方僧众，其母才脱离恶鬼界，升入天堂。佛祖有鉴于此，推而广之，要求佛门弟子尽心行孝，每年的七月十五，做盂兰盆，施佛及僧，报答父母恩情。佛家盂兰盆会的意义与儒家的孝道合拍，这一天则成为民间祭祀已逝父母及先人的鬼节。

从世俗的观点看，这两个鬼节的设置也恰到好处。清明正值北方雪化冰消之时，经过一秋一夏的雨水冲刷和一个冬天的冰雪压盖，坟茔上黄土有些被冲落，变矮变小，借清明扫一扫，添点土，让先人的房子不至于漏风淋雨;而七月十五，立秋已过，天气渐凉，到了该添衣服的时候了，也该给地下的先人送点钱去，置办点衣服，，不至于到了冬天挨冷受冻。

中华民族是礼仪之帮，从来注重对祖先的祭奠追思。记得以前我家春节祭祖时上面的横批就是“木本水源”“慎宗追远”，即不忘祖先之意。文革期间，破四旧，反迷信，谁还敢上坟烧纸?市上也没有烧纸可买，但仍有不少人家买小学生订本子用的白纸去坟上偷偷地烧给亲人。近年来，随着经济的发展，祭祀用品成了商家赚钱的一大门类，每到清明和七月十五，满街的烧纸，在店家门口，推成一座座小山，种类之繁，数量之多，不亚于端午、中秋成垛的果品盒。而且很有些现代商品意味，烧纸都成沓成捆，整齐美观，均匀地印着古钱币的印记，还有花花绿绿的美元、港币，大面值的，一张就是数亿，加上大小不一的黄灿灿的金元宝，如果真有冥国银行，也得自愧财力不足，甘心倒闭。烧掉这么多“钱”是否真能使离去的亲人在阴间过富足日子?无法得知，有句话叫“心诚则灵”，意到心到而已。记得小时候老人说，印现成的烧纸不好使，面值再大也没用，最好使的是拿着木头刻成铜钱样的凿子，用小榔头一下一下在纸上打。打纸时有很多讲究，最好是先人的后代，一定要男孩，榔头必是木头的，打的痕迹不能叠在一起。小时候，过年或两个鬼节，我就经常做这件事。老人告诉我，打上个印就行，可自己怕不清楚，到阴间不好用，总是用力地打，还怕钱少了，先人不够用，总是打得密密麻麻的。虽然现在纸多了，样子美观了，我倒觉得小时候由后人一凿子一凿子打出的纸钱倒更能体现出对先人的真情。

当然，鬼节这一天，从山野到街路，到处火光闪耀，烟气缭绕，纸灰飞扬，造成环境的污染，有时还会酿成火灾，造成不必要的损失。有什么办法呢?祖上传下来的习俗，中国人还没有学会像西方人那样用鲜花表达对逝去的亲人的哀思和怀念的习惯。鬼节祭祀，不能简单看成是迷信，西方基督教国家，现代科学已把人送上了月球，把火箭发射到了火星，但对上帝仍然笃信不移，其实就是一种精神寄托。我们给已逝亲人烧几张纸看似土俗，实际上蕴含着丰富的道德和伦理内涵。这是对离去亲人的一种感激和怀念，是同另一个世界人的一次对话，是同先人的一种沟通，是人类种族和精神的一种延续。即使亲人活着的时候，有不孝顺或照顾不周的情况，在上坟烧纸的时候，念叨几句，也能求得心理的一种平衡。也许随着时代的发展，人们文化程度的提高，我们民族会找到更好的纪念先人的办法，但对先人的纪奠和追思却是什么时代都不可缺少的。

传说中阴历7月15日是鬼门关大开的日子,在那天它们可以在阳间逗留一天.包括一些孤魂野鬼在那天都可以接受阳间人们的供奉,所以那天也称之为鬼节.

Traditional Culture Wont Be Lost

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.

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。

中美文化差异

国人见面打招呼时，喜欢问“你吃了吗?”“你去哪呀?”

而西方人对此都感到很怪异。

An American studying in China had an appointment at noon. As he was getting on his bicycle a Chinese friend passed by. "吃了吗?”The young Chinese asked. This, of course, is a common Chinese greeting around meal time and the American merely nodded with a smile, waved goodbye and went off. He realized that his friend’s remark was nothing more than a Chinese way of saying hello or Hi. If the greeting had been put literally into English "Have you eaten yet?" Or “Have you had your lunch? " It would have sounded rather unusual. To Americans, this greeting might mean this: "I havent either. Come on, let’s go together and get something to eat." or "If you haven’t, I was just going to invite you to my place." In other words, it could indicate an invitation to a meal.

Actually , another foreign student who had not been long in China once complained in broken Chinese 你们为什么老问我吃了饭没有?我有钱。To his way of thinking, people were concerned that he was not getting his meals properly because of lack of money. Clearly, he was offended. There is a similar Chinese greeting, such as "上哪儿去啊?""到哪儿去啦?" Which if translated literally, would be "Where are yon going?" Or "Where have you been?" The natural reaction of most English-speaking people to this greeting would most likely be "It’s none of your business!"

Fortunately, not all greetings sound strange or arouse displeasure. Many are similar, some are merely different. While greetings in many languages often indicate the time of day, there may be inconsistencies within a language. English has Good morning, Good afternoon and Good evening but not Good noon. And Good night is not a greeting at all, but an expression of farewell.

greeting 打招呼

一天中午，一个在中国学习的美国留学生有个约会。他刚要骑上自行车，一位中国朋友从旁边走过，问他：“吃了吗?”这是中国人在吃饭前后打招呼的常用语。美国留学生笑着点点头，挥挥手表示告别，就走了。

他知道，中国朋友的话等于英语中的Hello或Hi，但如果照字面译成Have you eaten yet?或Have you had your lunch?外国人听起来就很怪。美国人会以为，这种打招呼似乎是说：“我也没有吃。走吧，我们一起去吃点东西吧。”或者说：“如果没有吃的话，我正要请你到我家去呢。”;总之，这样打招呼有时意味着邀请对方去吃饭 。

发生过这样的事。有一次，一个刚到中国不久的外国留学生结结巴巴地用汉语说：“你们为什么老问我吃了饭没有?我有钱。”他以为人们总问他“吃饭了吗”是因为怕他没钱吃饭。他显然对这种问法感到生气。

再如，汉语中的“上哪儿去啊?”和“到哪儿去啦?”这样打招呼的话直译成英语就是Where are you going?和Where have you been?用这两句英语来打招呼，大部分讲英语的人听了会不高兴，他们的反应很可能是：It s none of your business! 你管得着吗!

幸而，打招呼的话并不都令人感到奇怪或者引起对方反感。有许多打招呼的话是相似的，有些只是说法不同。在许多语言里，打招呼的话往往是相似的，有些只是说法不同。

在许多语言里，打招呼的话往往与时间有关，但即使在一种语言中也有不一致的地方。英语中有Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening 都相当于汉语中的“您好”，只是说的时间不同而已，但不说Good noon。而 Good night (晚安;明天见;再会)根本不是打招呼的话，这只是告别时说的话。

1.长城是人类创造的世界奇迹之一。如果你到了中国却没去过长城，就像到了巴黎没有去看看埃菲尔铁塔，或者就像到了埃及没有去看金字塔一样。人们常说：“不到长城非好汉。”实际上，长城最初只是一些断断续续的城墙，直到秦朝统一中国后才将其连成长城。然而，我们今天看到的长城——东起山海关，西至嘉峪关——大部分都是在明代修建的。

The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world that created by human beings. If you come to China without climbing the Great Wall, It’s just like going Paris without visiting the Eiffel Tower , or going to Egypt without visiting the pyramids.

不可思议的是，他们很少会把外衣、内衣分开洗，甚至会把脏鞋子和内衣放一起洗，他们的理由是烘干机带有消毒功能。

我曾在洛杉矶呆过三个月。东西方文化的差异、生活习性的迥异常让我倍感孤独和不知所措。

一次，参加美国朋友的家庭宴会，宾朋满座。同桌有一年长的老妇人，为了表达礼节，我起身端起酒杯，微笑着向她敬酒：“祝您老身体健康，福祥延年！”可是，老妇人并没有接受我的敬酒，相反脸色骤变，一句简短的“对不起”后，就离开了座位。我不知所措，同桌的朋友小声告诉我，美国人最不能容忍的就是别人说自己“老”，老年人绝不喜欢别人恭维他们的年龄，哪怕是80岁的老妪，你也得赞美她：“您真年轻，您真漂亮，祝您一直美丽。”而在我国，“老”字在中国是尊称，老年人是很受人尊敬的，在美国，老却是“人老珠黄不值钱”的代名词。没想到，我为了表示东方人的友好礼貌，竟无意间伤害了那位老妇人，令她和我都狼狈不堪。

还有一次，我在公园的长凳上休息。不远处，一对情侣模样的男女牵着两只雪纳瑞犬向我这边走来。我特别喜欢狗，看到这两只长得几乎一模一样的可爱狗狗，心生欢喜，更勾起了我对自己爱犬的想念，我不由自主地迎了过去。我一边向主人打招呼，一边蹲下抱起一只狗狗，拿出包内的烤肉和面包，毫不吝惜的拿在手里喂给狗狗吃。两人惊愕地看了我几秒后，飞快地拉着狗狗快步跑开，留下怔怔的我眼睁睁瞧着他们离开我的视线。后来，和朋友偶然说起这事，朋友说，有狗狗的美国家庭，都特别宠爱自己的狗狗，而且狗狗和自己的孩子享受一样的家庭待遇。陌生人没有征求主人的同意擅自喂他的狗狗，主人会很不高兴，他会担心你喂给狗狗的食物有毒或是劣质的。无意之中，我又犯了美国人的一大忌。

那段时间，我暂住朋友家里，美国人的阳台上几乎从不晾晒衣物。并不是美国人不爱干净，在一个家庭里，家庭成员通常会把每天换下的脏衣服、脏鞋子统一放在一个很大的收纳篮里，到了周末再进行大清洗。洗好的衣物直接放烘干机里烘干，绝少拿到阳台接受阳光的暴晒。不可思议的是，他们很少会把外衣、内衣分开洗，甚至会把脏鞋子和内衣放一起洗，他们的理由是烘干机带有消毒功能，这让我或多或少有些瞠目结舌。我受不了这些，坚持自己每天洗衣、在阳台晾晒衣物的习惯，弄得朋友不以为然地直摇头。

美国人吃的东西就那区区几种，可厨房用具却琳琅满目，一应俱全。我在朋友家的厨房里会经常拿着不知名的餐具不知所用，傻帽得可以。实际上，朋友家的饭菜很简单，一般是水果蔬菜沙拉配各类烤肉、奶酪、面包，再就是各种甜品点心，直腻得我胃内抽筋，耳里老幻想炒菜时菜下油锅时那一阵“滋啦”的美妙音响。美国人家的厨房很干净，油烟很少，电磁炉、电烤箱、微波炉就基本满足了他们生活所需，你想在他们的厨房里找出一口炒菜的铁锅，那是件很难的事情。我忍不住了，去超市买了口铁锅，拿回朋友的家里，把它架在电磁炉上，郑重其事地炒了一个纯中国式的青椒土豆丝，美美地品尝着来美后的第一顿中国菜。朋友用叉子叉了几根品尝后，竖起大拇指：“好吃，好吃！”？

感恩节的由来可以追溯到美国历史的发端，起源于马萨诸塞普利茅斯的早期移民。这些移民在英国本土时被称为清教徒，因为他们对英国教会的宗教改革不彻底感到不满，以及英王及英国教会对他们的政治镇压和宗教迫害，所以这些清教徒脱离英国教会，远走荷兰，后来决定迁居到大西洋彼岸那片荒无人烟的土地上，希望能按照自己的意愿信教自由地生活。

1620年，著名的“五月花”号船满载不堪忍受英国国内宗教迫害的清教徒102人到达美洲。1620年和1621年之交的冬天，他们遇到了难民送来了生活必需品，还特地派人教他们怎样狩猎、捕鱼和种植玉米、南瓜。在印第安人的帮助下，移民们终于获得了丰收，在欢庆丰收的日子，按照宗教传统习俗，移民规定了感谢上帝的日子，并决定为感谢印第安人的真诚帮助，邀请他们一同庆祝节日。

1621年11月下旬的星期四，清教徒们和马萨索德带来的90名印第安人欢聚一堂，庆祝美国历史上第一个感恩节。他们在黎明时鸣放礼炮，列队走进一间用作教堂的屋子，虔诚地向上帝表达谢意，然后点起篝火举行盛大宴会，将猎获的火鸡制成美味佳肴盛情款待印第安人。第二天和第三天又举行了摔跤、赛跑、唱歌、跳舞等活动 。男性清教徒外出打猎、捕捉火鸡，女人们则在家里用玉米、南瓜、红薯和果子等做成美味佳肴。就这样，白人和印第安人围着篝火，边吃边聊，还载歌载舞，整个庆祝活动持续了三天 。第一个感恩节的许多庆祝方式一直流传后代 。

感恩节(Thanksgiving Day)在北美属于一个特别大的节日，特别是对于加拿大人和美国人来说，这个节日特别重要，即使远在异乡的人也都要在节日前赶回去与家人团聚，共庆佳节。不过，加拿大的感恩节和美国的感恩节不在同一天，加拿大的感恩节是在每年10月的第2个星期一，而美国则是在11月的最后一个星期四。

为什么叫感恩节呢?追根溯源，感恩节是和美洲古代的印第安人有关，特别是和玉米的种植有十分密切的关系。1620年9月6日，一批英国清教徒难以忍受宗教的迫害，搭乘“五月花号”木船驶往美洲。他们在疲劳、饥饿、寒冷和疾病的袭击下在大西洋上漂泊了65天，最后到达北美殖民地的普利茅斯。

当时正值冬季，气候严寒，田野寂寥。当地印第安人慷慨地拿出贮藏越冬的玉米和土豆，送去猎获的野鸭和火鸡。春天来了，印第安人教他们种植玉米和南瓜，饲养火鸡。白人移民和印第安人建立了亲密的友谊。这年秋季玉米丰收，移民们举行了丰盛的感恩会，用烤火鸡和玉米糕点款待印第安人。印第安人带着各种玉米制品、烤火鸡、南瓜馅饼、野葡萄以及玉米酒浆等参加晚会，人们欢唱歌舞，通宵达旦。以后在每年玉米收获后的11月底，定居在这里的白人移民都要举行感恩会，家家烤火鸡，烹制玉米食品，款待印第安人。长此以往，这种感恩会就成为一种惯例。

In china if you invite people for meal, the person who invited other people would pay for the meal but it’s not the way in Western country. In western country people will think you only invited me but it’s not your responsibility to pay for me.

I can afford it. They won’t be happy if you pay for them. People in China would always put dishes into customer’s plate to show their hospitality, but they will think it’s not healthy because your chopsticks have been used by you. In western country like America not England, people will always give tips to waiter after they finished meal in a restaurant.

If you don’t they will not be happy because tips are one of their major income. In china this only happen in some top restaurants and hotels in large international cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Western people will also think you are rude if you make sound during the meal. Western people do not hold their bowl up even when they have a bowl of soup.

Nowadays,high school students hold different opinions about after-class activities.there are two quite different phenomenonena.

Some students are crazy about sports and some other activities.they spend much time in joining the outdoor activities and varies of groups , and also,making new friends.However,they pay a little attention to their studies.

On the contrary, some students spend almost of their time in studies and dont enjoy attending other activities.

In my opinion,I think neither of them is correct.I think we should study hard,but we also need time to relax ourselves,because if a one in a good state,he can do better.
