Exchanging Ideas with Foreigners
與老外交流

You：It’s very common nowadays to see foreigners and have a chance to exchange ideas with them.現(xiàn)在對我們來說，見到外國人并且和他們交流已經(jīng)不是什么新鮮事兒了。

David：Exchange? 怎么交流呢？

You：We can learn lots from foreigners because they know a lot about the latest technologies and because they have different social and cultural customs and attitudes. 我們能從外國人那里學(xué)到許多新的技術(shù)，而且他們的社會文化習(xí)慣以及對事物的看法都和我們不同。

David：，I have traveled in the United States, Europe, and South America, and generally speaking Chinese people are relatively friendlier to foreigners. 我覺得中國人很有禮貌，也很和氣。我去過美國，歐洲，南美等地?？偟膩碚f，中國人對外國人更加友善一些。

You：Chinese people and foreigners may not understand each other very well when they meet for the first time, so naturally Chinese people give the appearance of being polite. After they get to know each other, Chinese people will be even more welcoming. In fact, politeness is a virtue in China. 是呀，當中國人和外國人還不是很熟悉時，第一次見面是表現(xiàn)得比較客氣；而當他們很熟之后，人們常會表現(xiàn)得更為熱情。禮貌待人是中華民族的傳統(tǒng)美德。

David：I also think politeness is a virtue, but generally speaking Americans are not as polite as Chinese are to foreigners. People from the U.S. could learn from the Chinese people’s example. 我一直認為禮貌待人應(yīng)當是一種美德。但一般來講，美國人對待外國人就沒有中國人對待外國人那么熱情了。美國人應(yīng)當向中國人民學(xué)習(xí)。
