44、to be that everyone is in a rush-often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands （任務(wù)）. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this count

45、ry. 一個(gè)外國(guó)人對(duì)于美國(guó)的第一印象很有可能是每個(gè)人都在壓力下匆匆忙忙。城市里的人總是表現(xiàn)得匆匆忙忙不知疲倦的，為了盡快做完一件事情，他們會(huì)在店里拼命引起店員的注意或者用胳膊肘推搡別人。白天匆忙就餐也是這個(gè)國(guó)家生活節(jié)奏的一個(gè)部分。 Working time is considered precious.

47、nd small courtesies with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point. 你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)司機(jī)也都很匆忙，人們從你身邊匆匆走過(guò)。你會(huì)錯(cuò)過(guò)一些微笑，簡(jiǎn)短的交談和一些與陌生人的小禮節(jié)。不要在意，這是因?yàn)樗麄兎浅Ｕ湎r(shí)間，而且他們認(rèn)為一旦太注重這些社交禮節(jié)就是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。 The view of time affe

48、cts the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some returnbe this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. T

49、hose coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life. 對(duì)時(shí)間的觀念還會(huì)影響到我們對(duì)耐心的理解。在美國(guó)價(jià)值體系中，耐心并不是首要考慮的。我們中的很多人被稱(chēng)為“脾氣火爆”。如果我們覺(jué)得時(shí)間在毫無(wú)意義的溜走，既沒(méi)有娛樂(lè)價(jià)值，工作價(jià)值，也不在休息，那就會(huì)開(kāi)始不停地徘徊。那些來(lái)自時(shí)間觀念不同的國(guó)家的人發(fā)現(xiàn)他們?cè)谏虡I(yè)和日常生

50、活中最困難的就是對(duì)時(shí)間節(jié)奏的適應(yīng)。 Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee they may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a caf or coffe

51、ehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we
