American Social Relations
Gladys G.Doty Janet Ross

American society is much more informal than that of many other countries and, in some ways, is characterized by less social distinction. The American mixture of pride in achievement and sense of “I’m just as good as anybody else.” along with lack of importance placed on personal dignity, is difficult for a foreigner to understand. Americans in general do not like to be considered inferior, and they grumble loudly about inconveniences or not getting a “fair deal.” Yet they do not make a point of their personal honor. As an illustration of the difference between Europen and American reflection in this respect, John Whyte in American Words and Ways gives the following account.
A…[European] professor [visiting in American] was once sent a bil for hospital services which he had never enjoyed. The bill was accompanied by a strong letter demanding payment. It was obvious that a mistake in names had been made, but the professor, thoroughly aroused by this reflection on his character and financial integrity, wrote a vigorous letter of reply ( which an American might also have done.) But in this letter of reply he demanded that the creditor write him a formal letter of apology… for this reflection on his honor. Since no publicity could possibly have been given to the mistake, for mistake it was, most Americans in that sitution, after getting the matter off their chest ( or without doing that ) would have let the matter rest.
An example of the same thing may be that although Americans like to talk about their accomplishments, it is their custom to show certain modesty in reply to compliments. When someone praises an American upon his achievement or upon his personal appearance, which, incidentally, is a very polite thing to do in America, the American turns it aside. If someone should say, “Congratulations upon being elected president of the club,” an American is expected to reply, “Well, I hope I can do a good job,” or something of the sort. Or if someone says, “That’s a pretty blue necktie you are wearing,” an American is likely to say, “I’m glad you like it,” or “Thank you. My wife gave it to me for my birthday.” The response to a compliment seldom conveys the idea, “I, too, think I’m pretty good.”
Likewise, there are fewer social conventions that show social differences in America. Students do not rise when a teacher enters the room. One does not always address a person by his title, such as “Professor” or “Doctor” (“Doctor” is always used, however, for a doctor fo medicine). The respectful “sir” is not always used in the northern and western parts of the country.
Clothing in America, as in every place in the world, to a certain degree reflects a person’s social position and income, or, at least among the young, his attitudes toward society or toward himself. Yet no person is restricted to a certain uniform or manner of dress because of his occupations or class in society. A bank president may wear overalls to paint his house and is not ashamed of either the job or the clothing, and a common laborer may wear a rented tuxedo at his daughter’s wedding.
Yet in spite of all the informality, America is not completely without customs that show consciousness of social distinction. For example, one is likely to use somewhat more formal language when talking to superiors. While the informal “Hello” is an acceptable greeting from employee to employer, the employee is more apt to say, “Hello, Mr. Ferguson,” whereas the emplyer may reply, “Hello, Jim.” Southerners make a point of saying “Yes,sir,” or “Yes,ma’am,” or “No,sir,” or “No, ma’am,” when talking to an older person or a person in position of authority. Although this is a good form all over the United States, “Yes, Mr. Weston.” or “No, Mrs. Baker” is somewhat more common in a similar situation in the North or West.
Certain other forms of politeness are observed on social occasions. Though people wear hats less now than in the past, women still occasionally wear hats in church and at public social functions ( except those that are in the evening ).
In American there are still customs by which a man may show respect for a woman. He opens the door for her and lets her precede him through it. He walks on the side of the walk nearest the street. He takes her arm when crossing a street or descending a stairway. A younger person also shows respect for an older one in much the same fashion, by helping the older person in things requiring physical exertion or involving possible accident.
American surface informality often confuses the foreigner because he interprets it to mean no formality at all. He does not understand the point at which informality stops. A teacher, though friendly, pleasant, and informal in class, expects students to study hard, and he grades each student’s work critically and carefully. He also expects to be treated with respect. Although students are free to ask questions about statements made by the teacher, and may say that they disagree with what he says, they are not expected to contradict him. Similarly, in boy-girl relationships a foreign student should not mistake the easy relationship and flattery that are part of the dating pattern in the United States, nor presume that it means more than it does.
Also, because an American is perhaps more likely to admit and laugh at his own mistakes than one who stands more on his dignity, a foreigner sometimes does not know how to handle the American’s apparent modesty. The American is quite ready to admit certain weaknesses, such as “I never was good at mathematics.” “I’m a rotten tennis player.” or “I’m the world’s worst bridge player.” However, the stranger must not be too quick to agree with him. American think it is all right, even sporting, to admit a defect in themselves, but they feel that it is almost an insult to have someone else agree. A part of American idea of good aportmanship is the point of being generous to a loser. This attitude is carried over into matters that have nothing to do with competition. If a man talks about his weak points, the listener says something in the way of encouragement,or point to other qualities in which the speaker excels. An American student reports that when he was in a foreign country he was completely stunned when he said to a native, “I don’t speak your language very well.” and the native replied, “I should say you don’t.” In a similar situation an American would have commented, “Well, you have only been here two months.” or “But you’re making progress.”
Although Americans are quite informal, it is best for a foreigner, in case of doubt, to be too formal rather than not formal enough. Consideration for others is the basis of all courtesy.

美国的社会比其他国家的社会更加非正式，在某些方面，美国社会的特征就是较少的社会差别。美国式的混合物－个人的成就感、不比别人差的优越感以及对个人尊严缺乏重要性，这些对一个外国人来说是很难理解的。通常来讲美国人不喜欢被别人看成低人一等的，他们也会为自己遭受的不便而抱怨，还会为自己没有得到公平的待遇而抱怨。然而，他们也不是很重视自己的荣誉。在这一方面，为了更好展示欧洲人和美国人的不同反映，John Whyte 在《美国语言和方式》这本书里给了我们如下的描述。

有位欧洲的教授曾在美国访问，他有次收到一份在医院接受治疗的账单，实际上他并没有接受过任何治疗。随附账单还有一封措施很强烈的信件。很明显这是因为把姓名弄错了，但是这位教授由于对信中对自己人格以及金钱方面的廉洁而提出的质疑感到不舒服，他也写了一份措辞很激烈的回信。（美国人也会这样去做）。但是在这份回信中，这位欧洲教授要求他的债权人写一份正式的道歉信，就因为对他人格的指责。由于这样的错误并没有被公众知悉，即使这样的错误已经发生了，但大多数美国人在这种形势下，只是将其宣泄一番，甚至有的人根本就不用宣泄，就让这件事情过去了。

同样的事情我再给你举一个例子，尽管美国人比较喜欢讨论自己的成就，但是他们有个习俗，那就是如果你得到某种赞美时，你的回答要展示某种谦虚。当有人在赞美一个美国人诸如他的成就或外貌的时候，这些话题在美国被认为是很有礼貌的事情，他也不会太在意。如果有人对一个美国人说：“祝贺你当选俱乐部主席”，他会回答“我希望把工作做好”或者诸如词类的话语。当有人说：“你打的领结很漂亮”，而美国人会说“我很高兴你喜欢它”或者“谢谢你，这是我妻子送给我的生日礼物”。所有对这种赞美的回答从来都不会传达这样的含义即“我也认为我挺不错的” 同样的，在美国也很少有那种社会习俗来表现这种社会差异。当老师进教室的时候，学生是不起立的。也不经常在一个人的名字前面加一些头衔，比如教授或博士。（DOCTOR 如果从医药学方面来称呼也是可以的）。表示尊敬含义的SIR在美国北部和西部也是很少使用的。

在美国正如在世界上其他地方一样，从某种意义上，人的穿着会反映其社会地位和收入，或者至少在年轻人当中可以反映这个社会或者自己的态度。但是由于自已的职业或社会地位，没有任何一个只局限穿一种特定的制服或选择某种特定的穿衣方式。一个银行的行长在粉刷自己房子的时候会穿工装服，而且不会因这种工作和穿衣的方式而感到羞愧。而一个普通劳动者在自己女儿的婚礼上也会租穿一件无尾燕尾服。

尽管有诸如此类非正式的东西，但是美国也并不是完全没有习俗来展现这种社会差别意识。例如，但一个人跟他的上司说话的时候，他会用更加正式的语言。尽管非正式语言HELLO可以用于雇员和雇主之间，但对于一个雇员来说，他更倾向于使用HELLO,MR FERGUSON，而上司回答时可以直接回答HELLO JIM。当跟一个年长者或者权位更高的人说话时，美国南方人主张说YES SIR 或YES MA’AM 或NO, SIR或NO, MA’MA。尽管这样的称谓在全美国被认为是一种很好的称谓形式，但是在美国北部或西部，人们还更倾向于称YES,MR WESTON或NO,MRS BAKER。某种表示礼貌的形式可以在社交场合会看到的。尽管现在的人不像过去那么经常带帽子，但是女性在教堂或一些公众庆祝宴会时会带上帽子的（当然这些场合如果发生在晚上就不用了）

在美国仍然还有些习俗，男士们通过这些习惯来表现对女士的尊敬。他会给女士开门，而且让女士先进入。男士也会走在更靠近街道的人行道。当穿过一条阶段或下楼梯时，男士会扶着女士。一个年轻人同样也会表示对年长者的尊敬，他们通过帮助他们做一些费体力的活或一些引发事故的活。

美国人这种表面上的非正式性会让一个外国人迷惑，因为他认为美国人的这种非正式性意味着没有正式性而言。但是他并不知道美国人的这种非正式性会在哪里变成了正式性，比如一个老师在课堂上看起来友好、和善，在课堂上也表现的非正式，但老师要求学生努力学习，并且在批改作业时是很严格和仔细的。而且这位老师也同样希望学生能尊敬他。尽管学生对老师的陈述自由提出问题，而且也可以表达对老师观点的不同意，但是这些学生也不能驳斥老师的观点。同样，在男孩和女孩交往的过程中，一个外国学生也不要对美国人在约会里表现的亲近关系或奉承的话语而误会，不要认为他们还有更深层次的含义。同样，因为比那些经常想保持自己尊严的人来说，美国人非常有可能承认和嘲笑他自己的错误、缺点。但是有时外国人不知道怎么处理美国人这种表面的谦虚。美国人很容易承认自己的某些弱点，诸如“我的数学不好”，“我的网球打的很烂”或者说“我的桥牌打的也是出奇的差”，但是，这个时候对于一个陌生人不能随声附和。美国人认为，承认自己的一些弱点没有什么，即使是运动项目不行，但是如果别人对他们谦虚的话语表示同意，他们认为这是对他们若大的侮辱。美国竞技精神的一部分就是对失败者要赋予同情和慷慨。这种态度从体育竞技中被带入到跟体育竞技一点关系都没有的事情当中了。如果一个人谈及自己的弱点时，听者一般都会以鼓励来回应或指出失败者在其他领域是很擅长的。一个美国的学生讲到，有次他去国外时，当他对当地人说：“我说你们的语言说的不好”，而对方回应到“我也这么认为”，他被当地人的回答惊呆了。当然，在同样的情势下，一个美国人将会回应到“你来这里才刚两个月而已” 或者说“但是你取得进步了”。

尽管美国人好像十分不正式，但对于一个外国人，尤其在不知道情况下，你最好尽可能正式的对待。总是考虑别人是所以礼仪的基础。

❻ 给我一篇关于美国风情的英语短文

Weddings in the United States vary as much as the people do. There are church weddings with a great deal of fanfare; there are weddings on mountain-tops with guests barefooted; and there have been weddings on the ocean floor with oxygen tanks for the guests. But many weddings, no matter where or how they are performed, include certain traditional customs.
Before a couple is married, they become engaged. And then invitations are sent to those who live nearby, their close friends and their relatives who live far away. When everything is ready, then comes the most exciting moment.

The wedding itself usually lasts between 20 and 40 minutes. The wedding party enters the church while the wedding march[1] is played. The bride carrying a bouquet enters last with her father who will "give her away".The groom enters the church from a side door. When the wedding party is gathered by the altar, the bride and groom exchange vows. It is traditional to use the words "To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part[3]". Following the vows, the couple exchange rings. Wearing the wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand is an old custom.
After the ceremony there is often a party, called a "reception" which gives the wedding guests an opportunity to congratulate the newlyweds.
The car in which the couple leaves the church is decorated with balloons, streamers and shaving cream. The words "Just Married" are painted on the trunk or back window. The bride and groom run to the car under a shower of rice[4] thrown by the wedding guests. When the couple drives away from the church, friends often chase them in cars, honking and drawing attention to them. And then the couple go on their honeymoon.
第二篇（关于American Dinning Customs ）

Every country has its peculiar customs(习惯）. Americans feel that the first rule of being a polite guest is to be prompt(准时的）. If a person is invited to dinner at 6:30, he should not be there too early. He should be there on time or at most a few minutes after. When the guests cannot come on time, he should call the host or hostess(女主人）on the telephone, give the reason and tell what time he can come.

As guests continue(继续）to arrive, the men in the group should stand when a woman goes into the room and continue to stand until she sits. When the guests sit down at a table, the men should help the ladies by pushing their chairs under them.

Americans drink soup from the side of the soup spoon instead of the tip(尖）. It's not a good manner to leave a spoon in a soup bowl or coffee cup or any food plate. It is put on the saucer where it belongs. If for any reason a guest has to leave the table ring a meal, he should ask the hostess, “Will you excuse me for a minute?” Following the meal, guests usually stay for two hours or so, but the thoughtful person is careful not to overstay his welcome. As the guests, they should thank the hostess for a very pleasant evening. After two or three days, the guests should ring up or write to the hostess to express(表达）their thanks again.
第三篇

America is well-known for its equality, liberty, fraternity. Everyone is very friendly and informal. Children often call their parents by their first names and at work. Subordinates do not normally use "Mister" when addressing their supervisors. To those visitors who come from a more rigid and stratified society, such casualness can be confusing, leading to egregious（严重的）blunders. Conversely, many worldly, sophisticated Americans appear mortified because they feel America is not "civilized," with a capital "C." However, we know of terribly embarrassing incidents from mistakes which only an innocent foreigner would have made.

Public displays of affection between the sexes are very common, unlike perhaps where you have come from. In many cities, especially San Francisco, homosexuality is an accepted way of life. You may therefore see men being affectionate with men and women with women. If you disapprove of homosexuals because of your religious or cultural beliefs, please keep it to yourself. You might even find yourself a guest in a gay person's home-and might become shocked to realize that your host is a normal human being like any other and that you are actually enjoying his hospitality. Many couples also live together without being married-and may never marry. But you must realize their bond is probably as strong as the bond of marriage. So don't think one of them is available for a "date."

America is a notoriously "open" society, and to most foreigners Americans often appear exceptionally and "instantly" friendly. But sometimes such openness can lead to serious misunderstanding, especially between men and women. A casual invitation to have drinks and/or dinner does not mean that your American host also wants to become "intimate" with you afterwards. So be careful not to read too much into a friendly invitation

❽ 求一篇关于美国文化的英语作文

As we know,America is a young country,however,its culture is quite splendid,which is admitted by people all over the world,especially its fastfood culture.

In 1948,the Richards opened up the first fastfood restaurant,named Mcdonald's,beside a highway.In order to attract people passing by,they lifted up the golden neon signs,mainly selling out the hamburgers,milkshake,soda water and so on which are packed with paper bags.Due to it's convenient to carry with,those people that on the car can find the solution to eating,therefore,it's very popular with the Americans.Based on the instrial pipeline,a new kind of the fastfood came into being.With its appearance,a new lifestyle started to spread to the whole America,even affected the whole world later on.

In my opinion,the reason why the American fastfood is so popular owes to people's fast rhythm of life,and Americans are always seeking for the high efficiency no matter in their work or life.

❿ 外国小说《现代艺术展》阅读理解 答案

15（6分）①以第一人称与第二人称对话形式叙述故事，显得亲切自然、真实生动。②采用了倒叙的叙述方法，设置了悬念，吸引了读者的阅读兴趣，并由此展开了故事情节的叙述③一开篇别佳将垃圾运到现代艺术展上去展览，奠定了全文诙谐幽默，讽刺批判的基调。（每一点得2分，其余答案酌情给分）

16（3分）①别佳是一个生活在底层的清扫垃圾的人；②他是一个机智聪明、幽默风趣的劳动者，如面对质疑他侃侃而谈从容不迫，把破烂垃圾取名叫“智者的呐喊”吸引观众等等；③他是一个勇敢大胆，敢于挑战权威的劳动者，他用自己的垃圾调侃和讽刺了所谓的现代艺术展的虚伪荒谬。（每一点得一分，其余答案酌情给分，但如批判别佳不给分）

17．（6分）①题目起到了线索的作用，贯穿全文。小说始终围绕“现代艺术展”而展开故事情节，以现

代艺术展为纽带，聚拢各种人物关系，使结构层次分明，井然有序；结构主干突出，不枝不蔓；

②题目起到了揭示主题的作用：题目中所谓的“现代艺术展”，最终以一场闹剧结束，其实质都是一堆垃

圾的展览，强烈讽刺，所谓的艺术家的虚假无知，也讽刺了整个社会艺术脱离生活现实的现状。

③题目一语双关，既指现代艺术展又指垃圾展，形成了幽默讽刺的效果，也奠定了文章的幽默讽刺的基调。

（以上每一点2 分，其余答案酌情给分。）

18（6分）本文表现出高超的幽默讽刺艺术。具体表现为：

一、作者叙述描写的语言与人物本身的语言具有幽默讽刺的效果。

如叙述描写别佳的外貌特征“披头散发”“醉熏熏”“穿着破衬衫,带着黑眼圈”；描写别佳的神态动作

“理直气壮”“虚张声势”“干净利落”“侃侃而谈””开怀畅饮”“左拥右抱”，这些对人物形象的叙述描写语言，惟妙惟肖地写出一个“俨然”艺术家的清扫垃圾的工人形象，显得既滑稽幽默又令人深思；同时，主人公别佳与举办方的一本正经，显得既专业又机智的人物语言描写，极度讽刺了现代艺术展严重脱离生活现实的现象，寓庄于谐，极具幽默讽刺。

二、极度夸张荒诞的情节设置极具幽默讽刺效果。一个想偷懒的清扫垃圾的人将垃圾送入现代艺术展览会，

却意外地冠名“智者的呐喊”进行展览，接受观众的欣赏称赞；而最终全城人都将破烂送进现代艺术展馆，垃圾与艺术无法分辨，以一场闹剧结束。整个情节设置令人啼笑皆非，极具幽默讽刺的效果。

三、人物形象起到幽默讽刺效果。本文的主人公别佳只是一个清扫垃圾的工人，但他在现代艺术展上表现出来的那种风度气质宛如一个艺术家，受到所有人的追捧与崇拜，这个人物形象与清扫垃圾的别夫的身份完全不符合，形成寓庄于谐的幽默风趣的效果，讽刺批判了所谓的现代艺术家的故作姿态和虚假。
