Every time you go home, will find themselves increasingly unable to meet, say Orphean dot, that more and more simple, that ugly point, make more and more silly.Many in the American life for a long time I think people back Chinese, have such a sigh.
(Bush presidential daughter under 21 years of age to drink is a ticket, at the same time penalty community labor 24 hours)
The classic story:
A study on USA Chinese lad, and a USA girl fall in love,A hand - in hand to cross the road junction, the red light, saw the car a little distance, the boys took his girlfriend rushed over, girlfriend angry, it should not be a man, to the red light, what thing can not do?Part.
The boy back to the China development, and China girls fall in love, a road junction, the red light, a car and a little distance, took his girlfriend's hand, where, after the car before you cross the road, results, Chinese girlfriend angry: even the red light can not hit man will have what future, break up
This is just a joke, but well illustrated in different places, different people have different ways of thinking.
Another example I described in high Chinese see thing: in many public places, are affixed with a "no smoking" signs.But I saw some people stand in smoking no smoking signs.I asked a friend, does not matter?Friends say, he cut his, others want to pumping or pumping.
In American, rules must, must abide by, if you do not obey, you have no good fruit to eat.So, it has been used in accordance with the rules, every rhythm.
In my "look America" in the book, there are a few small story:
One day, a friend asked me to China from America gave him cancer mother to take medicine back, tell me the name of the medicine, I promise.Is not a drug!
Go to the pharmacy to buy, a chemist's shop and said this medicine is to be a doctor's prescription, to prescribe it went to a doctor.
I have a doctor familiar friends, certainly no problem.Results the doctor put things said, was a rebuff: no.!Not to see the patient, resolute can't open.
I know it happened, American law is so of the regulation.But I didn't think so serious, so good, not to give the wrongdoer a way out.Later, a friend told me, the doctor also have to.Be so difficult a doctor (4 years +4 years +3 years university medical college hospital doctors, are just the ordinary doctor.), give you a drug, illegal operation time, checked out, immediately revoke the qualifications, the first half of his life he will cast to waste.
This thing looks so simple, but I do not, I just started a big promise to others, it can only be red in the face with a friend explained.With this thing lessons, they can't easily promised to help the busy.
(Clinton Lewinsky case by the court approval)
Come to talk about the ticket.
Before China, some friends are in the police bureau, a ticket can find acquaintances say, immediately cancel the ticket.Now it seems to have no?
In America, a ticket, no acquaintances, because they have no.They are wrong will admit, payment of the fine; it is a letter about the situation or the court with the policeman confrontation.
You can not pay not to explain, just wait.
The various kinds of fees and fines, you also can not pay, never mind, no one would have to chase you.Can I trouble you.
Some time ago, USA an apple mobile phone, as long as it can be purchased for $99, but you must and telecommunications companies to sign an agreement, guarantee that after 2 years to use their telephone network, and each month fixed package cost.And the mobile phone on the market at least $600.There are a lot of people might say, can sign agreement, then they do not need the network, not to pay the telephone charges, to change the card not to go.Hey, you can, you can not pay, can not have this card.
However, you have to use the phone, when you go to the other company to open the phone, you'll be told: because you owe other company telephone fee, so your credit is not good, want to open a new account, can, to pay a deposit.
In American, specialized Credit Companies, a complete set of supervision system, to give people scoring.Your credit is not good, usually may not feel what, but when you want to apply for a loan to buy a house, office, etc., may be able to get loans, or, a loan, but the interest rate is much higher than the others, you should as little money owed their, such dishonesty it is not worth the price to pay.
In time you will find: Oh, how my credit is so bad?What time what time delayed repayment of arrears,, be crystal clear in your credit report, some of the things you to forget, the Credit Companies can be recorded clearly.
(financial crisis Obama family travel, be American dissatisfaction with the complaints)
Also, is to provoke the who, no matter what he is, what background, human equality before the law, the president, the president's daughter and how?Not what great, there is no need to find who did not need to say, "my father is Li Gang", to find a good lawyer, is more important than what.
Therefore, in USA accustomed to the life of people, always will gradually get used to what rules, there are entire supervision system, to find the relationship between is of no use,We used to have what thing, can solve their own, not to find the relationship, difficult to the mind, come very naturally became more and more.
