　　Just after the last war, people were very willing to give money to help those who had 1 it. But not everyone who 2 money was honest. The newspapers were 3 stories of people who had been 4 by men who went from house to house saying that they were collecting money for soldiers who had been 5 in the war, or for people who had 6 their homes, or for 7 noble causes, while 8 they were putting the money they collected into their own 9 instead of using it for the purposes they had said.

　　One day Mr Smith came back with another 10 of this kind. He told his wife that a group of people had collected thousands of dollars for the widow（寡妇）of the Unknown Soldier.

　　Then someone had written to 11 about it, and they had written articles to 12 other people. Mr Smith said that he and his friends at the office had had a good 13 about the story when they had read it in the newspaper.

　　“Can you 14 anyone being so stupid as to believe that story and give money to the widow of the Unknown Soldier?” he asked his wife.

　　She looked 15 at first, but then her face brightened. “Oh, yes. I see now.” She answered. “Of course, the government pays the widow of the Unknown Soldier.”

　　“Privacy” is translated as“yin si”in Chinese. Traditionally, in the Chinese mind,“yin si”is associated with that which is closed or unfair. If someone is said to have“yin si”, meddlers (好事者) will be attracted to pry(打探)into his or her affairs. So people always state that they don't have“yin si”.

　　On the contrary, Americans often declare their intention to protect their privacy. Their understanding of privacy is that others have no right to pry into things which belong to themselves alone and have nothing to do with others. One who is too curious and who spreads rumors is said to violate the right to privacy.

　　In the evening, Sonia and I went to a bar for dinner. In China, when people mention bars, something bad usually comes to mind. But here, the bar was a quiet and tastefully laid out place. People spoke quite softly, afraid of interrupting their neighbors, and sat face to face as they drank, sometimes three or five persons sitting together.

　　This sort of atmosphere was totally different from my preconception(传统观念), so I wanted to take a picture. Sonia stopped me:“Don't you see these people are pouring out their hearts? Maybe they are colleagues, friends, secret lovers. They came here looking for a peaceful place free from interruption by others. They wouldn't want to leave any trace of their having come here. So taking their pictures would be a serious violation of their right to privacy.”

　　Is there privacy between husband and wife? One of Sonia's friends married a talented Chinese man, but recently she became so angry that she wanted a divorce(离婚). The reason was that her husband had opened one of her letters and looked through her purse. The husband didn't realize that this is not tolerated in the U.S. He thought that being a couple was like being one person; why couldn't he see the letter or the contents of the purse? Truly, everyone, even those living as a couple, needs room--not only in three-dimensional(三维) space, but in the heart.
