最近《北京周报》登载了两篇非常坦率的文章,对中美两国的文化差异作了深刻的比较。今年5月段亮成(译音)先生和王祖明(译音)女士在南京中美研究中心所作的讲话已刊登在7月11日和18日的《北京周报》上。段先生很坦率地讲到引起美国对中国产生误解的一些差异。例如,他特别谈到中国人向别人随便问其收入和年龄之类的问题,而许多美国人则认为问这些问题是对别人隐私权的侵犯。他还谈到美国人在公开场合随便发表自己的意见,而这种做法令中国人感到为难。
Recently, Beijing Weekly published two very candid articles that profoundly compared the cultural differences between China and the United States. In May this year, Mr. Liang Cheng and Ms. Wang Zuming made speeches at the Nanjing-US Center for Studies in China on the Beijing Weekly News on July 11 and 18. Mr. Duan is frank about some of the differences that have caused the United States to misunderstand China. For example, he spoke in particular of the Chinese questioning others about their income and age at random, while many Americans think asking these questions is a violation of the privacy rights of others. He also mentioned that Americans freely expressed their opinions in public and this made the Chinese feel embarrassed.
