生活在一個和自己文化不同的社會里，可能是一個既令人興奮、又充滿挑戰(zhàn)的經(jīng)歷。
You have to learn different cultural practices and tryto adapt to them. Following are the top six culturaldifferences between China and the US.
你必須了解不同文化的行為習慣，并且努力適應它們。以下是中國和美國之間的六點文化差異。
中美文化差異：Privacy 隱私
Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as Americans do. They talk abouttopics such as ages, income or marital status, which Americans think is annoying andintrusive.
中國人的隱私概念和美國人不同。中國人談論年齡、收入、或者婚姻狀況，而美國人則認為這些話題非常令人不快、具有侵入性。
中美文化差異：Family 家庭
In China, elders are traditionally treated with enormous respect and dignity while the youngare cherished and nurtured.
在中國，老人們通常都享有巨大的尊重和受尊崇的地位，而年輕一輩則被悉心呵護、培養(yǎng)。
In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of thechildren. Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children.
但是在美國，家庭的目標是鼓勵獨立，特別是孩子們。和中國人不同，美國老人很少和自己的孩子們住在一起。
中美文化差異：Friends 朋友
Chinese people have different meanings to define friends. Just hanging out together time totime is not friendship. Friendship means lifelong friends who feel deeply obligated to give eachother whatever help might seem required.
中國人對朋友有不同的定義。只是經(jīng)常一起出門玩的人不叫朋友。朋友是指那些永遠覺得有義務向?qū)Ψ教峁┧枞魏螏椭娜恕?/p>
Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general anddifferent. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.
美國人經(jīng)常稱呼他們遇到的人為朋友，因此他們對朋友的定義很一般，并且各有不同。有工作的朋友，有一起玩的朋友，有學校的朋友，有喝酒的朋友。
中美文化差異：Money 金錢
As is well known, the Chinese like to save. They are always conservative when they areplanning to spend money.
眾所周知，中國人喜歡存錢。當計劃花錢的時候中國人總是很保守。
It is different in the USA, where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies andeducation than their Chinese counterparts.
但是在美國則不同，和中國家庭相比，很少有美國家庭為緊急情況和教育存錢。
中美文化差異：Education 教育
Chinese people value education and career more than Americans, who in turn put moreemphasis on good character and faith.
中國人看重教育和事業(yè)，而美國人則更強調(diào)好品格和信仰。
中美文化差異：Collectivism vs. Individualism 集體主義VS個人主義
Basically China values the community and the US values the individual. If you achievesomething in the US, it's because you were great.
總的來說，中國更加看重集體，而美國則更看重個人。在美國，如果你取得了一些成就，那是因為你自己的功勞。
While in China, if you achieve something in China it's because the team, or family, or companyis great.
但是在中國，如果你取得了一些成就，那會被歸功于你的團隊、家庭或者公司。
Everything you do gets attributed to the greater whole, while in America individual merits arecelebrated.
在中國你所做的一切都歸功于更大的集體，但是在美國則更加認可個人的功績。
