英语翻译多年以来,中美文化都一直存在很大的差异,很多人在美国生活的时候,多少都会对这种文化差异感到不适应,英文中有个词叫

For many years, sino-american culture always there big differences, a lot of people living in the United States, many of these cultural differences will feel not adapt, called a word in English culture shock (culture shock), describing it's the kind of "no adaptation.
American culture can be compared to a peach, thin skin, juice, nuclear hard.
"Thin skin" on behalf of the American culture interpersonal relations in easily cuts and establish, like tear a thin layer of peach skin.
"Juice much" describe uniqueness and richness of American culture, and everyone can express oneself unique personality, no one will because of your uniqueness and feel strange.
"Nuclear hard" is symbol of American culture emphasize independence, equality, privacy, frank such core values.
Independence, are the united nation's special character, they believe, to oneself destiny convinced, rely on their own philosophy creed.
American young kids sleep alone in a room, in the growth process, parents emphasize cultivate children live independently ability. Older americans with children live together, children regularly to visit them, but won't like Chinese people which all three generations. Therefore, the overwhelming majority of the Chinese people will think it is not filial piety, but actually is not so, americans have their own independent living space, and not willing to let others disrupting my life, so don't tell americans don't dwell with the old man is not filial, otherwise he'll think you're very absurd.
Equal, American society is more prominent characteristics. Work no difference in degree of nobility, restaurant waiters, and university classroom teachers are equal, they are all take money to serve others.
Facing engaged in reinvigoration of people, such as attendant etc., don't show contempt for words and actions, for you in equal status. But in China, parents of children, children in the above position for parents is always agrees, common saying says "sticks in bottom out," in China's education child abuse and corporal punishment is the method. However, the parents and children's position is equal, parents in enter child room before knocking, education child can only be to persuade, hit a child, it is illegal to abuse child crime prosecutions. Therefore new immigrants in the U.S. ten million cannot take education child abuse way, careful pay legal price.
Frank, is another American character characteristic. Americans talk straight, don't like to beat around the bush, answer general clear directly.
For example, we speak Chinese euphemism are indirectly, the answer often ambiguous, most information are made by environmental language, body language and facial expression language, or other nonverbal cues style to deliver, in a less direct and clear language to express. Thus, the americans intercourse easily cause difficulties or misunderstanding, and thus americans contacts to avoid as far as possible when hieroglyphics, ambiguous and windbag statements.
Privacy, in American life is very important, sometimes for Chinese people even some extreme.
Chinese when meet ask where to go is very normal thing, but in the United States this has infringed arrived people's privacy. To an American family visit must call first appointment, if rushed to also can invading into other people's privacy. In addition, income, weight and age, health, results, marriage, love, political views and so on these are American's privacy.
So, I think the privacy already are a kind of American culture.
