2、ther being labor.美国人相信没有人会停滞不前。如果你不前进，你就落后了。这种态度造就了一个致力于研究、试验和探索的民族。时间是美国人谨慎节约的两个要素之一，另一个是劳动。We are slaves to nothing but the clock,” it has been said. Time is treated as if it were something almost real. We budget it, save it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; we also charge for

3、it. It is a precious resource. Many people have a rather acute sense of the shortness of each lifetime. Once the sandshave run out of a persons hourglass, they cannot be replaced. We want every minute to count.有人说：“我们只是时钟的奴隶。”。时间被视为几乎真实的东西。我们预算它，节省它，浪费它，偷走它，杀死它，削减它，解释它；我们也为它收费。它是一种宝贵的资源。许多人对生命的短暂有一种

5、ir shopping. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country. Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating-places are waiting for you to finish so they, too, can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. You also find drivers will be abrupt and

6、people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small exchanges with strangers. Dont take it personally.

7、方，在商店里焦躁不安地寻求关注，或者在他们试图完成购物时用肘推挤别人。在这个国家，在白天吃饭是生活节奏的一部分。工作时间被认为是宝贵的。其他人在公共用餐场所等你吃完，这样他们也可以在允许的时间内得到服务并回去工作。你也会发现司机会很唐突，人们会从你身边挤过去。你会怀念微笑、简短的交谈和与陌生人的小交流。别把它当真。这是因为人们高度重视时间，他们憎恨别人把时间“浪费”到某个适当的时间点之外。Many new arrivals to the States will miss the opening exchanges of a business call, for example. They wi

8、ll miss the ritual interaction that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be a convention in their own country.

9、 much less do they take them out for dinner, or for around on the golf course while they develop a sense of trust. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly. Time is, therefore, always ticking in our inner ear.例如，许多新来美国的人会错过商务电话的开

10、场交流。他们会怀念那种礼节性的互动，这种互动伴随着一杯热茶或咖啡，而这可能是他们自己国家的惯例。他们可能会怀念在餐馆或咖啡馆里悠闲的商务聊天豪斯。正常情况下，美国人不会在这种轻松的环境中，通过长时间的闲聊来评估他们的访客；更不用说，当他们建立起信任感时，他们会带他们出去吃晚饭，或者在高尔夫球场上四处逛逛。由于我们一般都是从专业角度而不是社会上进行评估和调查，所以我们很快就开始谈生意了。因此，时间总是在我们的耳边滴答作响。Consequently, we work hard at the task of saving time. We produce a steady flow of labor

11、-saving devices; we communicate rapidly through faxes, phone calls or emails rather than through personal contacts, which though pleasant, take longer - especially given our traffic-filled streets.

12、努力工作以节省时间。我们生产稳定的节省劳力的设备；我们通过传真、电话或电子邮件而不是通过个人联系进行快速沟通，虽然这很令人愉快，但需要更长的时间尤其是考虑到我们交通拥挤的街道。因此，我们把大多数私人拜访留到下班时间或周末社交聚会上。To us the impersonality of electronic communication has little or no relation to the significance of the matter at hand.

However, people are meeting increasingly on television screens, conducting “ teleconferences ” to settle problems not only in this country but also - by satellite - internationally.对我们来说

14、，电子通信的客观性与手头事务的重要性几乎没有或根本没有关系。在一些国家，没有眼神交流，没有需要面对面的交谈，任何重大的业务都不可能进行。在美国，最终协议通常也要亲自签署。然而，人们越来越多地在电视屏幕上见面，通过“电话会议”来解决这个国家的问题，而且通过卫星在国际上解决问题。The U. S. is definitely a telephone country. Almost everyone uses the telephone to conduct business, to chat with friends, to make or break social appointments, t

18、l be poured into it in order to “get it moving.”一些新来的人来自那些认为工作太快是不礼貌的文化。除非允许一定的时间过去，否则在他们看来，所考虑的任务似乎是微不足道的，不值得适当的尊重。因此，随着时间的推移，任务被赋予了更大的分量。然而，在美国，它被视为熟练或有能力解决问题或成功完成工作的标志速度。通常，一项任务越重要，投入的资金、精力和注意力就越多，以便“推动它前进”Unit22号机组Learning the Olympic Standard for Love学习奥林匹克的爱的标准Nikolai Petrovich Anikin was not
