Wang Fei,a Chinese student,and Mary,an American student studying Chinese in China,were in a supermarket. They saw a young man walking down the stairs. In his hurry,he missed the last two steps and fell onto the ground. He tried to stand up while people around him laughed. Luckily,he seemed to b e OK. http://w w w.xk b1. com

Mary found Wang Fei smiling a little and was not happy about it.“Tell me,Fei,how                                                                                      could people laugh when someone fell like that?Why didn’t they go up and ask him if he was hurt?”

Wang Fei said,“Because they knew he wasn’t hurt too much.”

“But I still don’t understand. A fall is a fall. In my culture,people would never laugh!”

This is an example. The Chinese and the westerner will think and act differently when seeing such a thing. Chinese people are used to laughing or smiling. Very often the person who is in embarrassing (困窘的) situation would also laugh or smile to get out of it. However,if someone gets hurt seriously,it will not be a laughing matter any more. People will help him or her instead.

But,in that case,a westerner will rush over and help the person get up. If a westerner falls,he or she,like a Chinese person,may try to make a joke if he or she is not hurt. If two close friends are walking together,and one falls but clearly isn’t hurt,a common joke is to say “Have a nice trip”.

So different people have different habits and different countries have different cultures.

Living in a foreign country can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的).A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”.

On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked,“Do you have cold drinks?”The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means“yes”.

Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?” He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no”.

Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some students had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”.
