美国人的友谊观 American Friendship

It’s quite natural for Americans to move their home to different places. Very few people live in just one place for a life long time. That is why the Americans are always ready to make new friends. They often drop a visit to their new neighbors. And friendship will be established during chatting, taking an interested sports and small family parties.

Americans are very independent. You'd better not so curious about their privacies such as the salary, diseases, and marital status. Because It’s none of your business. If you try to find the privacy from an American, most probably, you will be regarded as immoral.

Americans will be willing to help their friends. But most of the time, they hope that the helping would be concerning small things. It's maybe uncomfortable, even very strange, to shoulder much more so-called responsibilities for a friend.

If your friend is an American student, never ask about his or her grades in school. It's not only because that American schools have no tradition to have a long remark list for all the students, but also, grades were a sort of PRIVACY.







　　对美国人来说，不断的搬家是非常自然的事情。很少有人一辈子只居住在一个地方。这就是美国人为什么随时准备着交新的朋友。他们经常去拜访邻居。在聊天，谈论有趣的运动或者参加家庭聚会的时候，友谊随时会建立。

　　美国人很独立，所以你最好不要对他们的隐私太好奇，比如工资，疾病，婚姻状况等等，因为这于你无关。如果你试着找出一个美国人的第三方的隐私，毫无疑问，他会认为你不道德。

　　美国人也很乐意帮助他们的朋友，但多数情况下，他们希望只是帮个小忙。因为他们认为去为所谓的朋友的责任而负担太多也许会不舒服，甚至很奇怪。

　　如果你的朋友是个美国的学生，从来也不要问他在学校里的排名。不但因为美国的学校没有给所有的学生长长的成绩单的传统，而且排名也是一种隐私。
