實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話:Canucks and Yanks 加拿大人和美國(guó)人
Todd: OK, Mike, I was wondering, you're from Canada, and you have lived in America, and we work together, and in our company everybody is American but you, so how would you say Canadians are different than Americans?

托德:邁克,我在想,你來(lái)自加拿大,而且你在美國(guó)生活過(guò),現(xiàn)在我們一起工作,在我們公司除了你都是美國(guó)人,你覺(jué)得加拿大人和美國(guó)人有什么不同呢?

Mike: Well, first of all, I'll just, to be honest, just to start, I'll say that Canadians and Americans I think share a lot more similar qualities than they do differences, I mean, I think Canadians have a lot more in common with Americans than they do with even with English people who are like from Britain who were the original sort of Canadians, I suppose, a few hundred years ago, so in that way I think that like again, just to preempt it by saying we're very similar, however, there's definitely some differences I think between Americans and Canadians. First of all, I think Canadians in general are maybe a little bit more humble. Not to put this in a negative way, but they just, they're not as willing to engage in an argument, or to argue over a point, I think, as you know, as most, at least, most of my American friends, who’ll want to debate and get to the bottom of a topic. Canadians would rather just sort of back off and say, you know, "That's, you're right. That's fine. Great" but again, and I can't speak for all Canadians because it depends on your personality too, but just to generalize, that's one difference. Also, I would say that Americans in general tend to be a lot more businesslike and maybe even a little more conservative in, just in the way they, in the way that they, I guess, view, relations, or view discussions with people, but Canadians tend to be a little bit more liberal, a little bit more free and easy-going, again, I'll preempt that by saying all of the Americans that I work with I think are quite liberal and not conservative thinking at all, but if you want to generalize, yeah, culturally, then I think those are probably a couple of differences between the two cultures, or people in the cultures.

邁克:嗯,首先,說(shuō)實(shí)話,相比于不同點(diǎn),我覺(jué)得加拿大人和美國(guó)人有很多相似的特質(zhì),我的意思是我認(rèn)為加拿大人和美國(guó)人有很多共同點(diǎn),我想大概是幾百年前,英國(guó)人原來(lái)是加拿大人的一部分,所以首先我們非常相似,不過(guò)美國(guó)人和加拿大人之間當(dāng)然有一些不同點(diǎn)。首先,總的來(lái)說(shuō),加拿大人可能要更謙卑一些。不要用消極的方式來(lái)理解,加拿大人不太愿意牽涉進(jìn)爭(zhēng)論中,或者是不愿意就某一觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)行爭(zhēng)論。我想,正如你知道的那樣,至少我的大部分美國(guó)朋友想?yún)⑴c到爭(zhēng)論中,他們想弄清論題的真相。加拿大更愿意避讓?zhuān)麄儠?huì)說(shuō)“嗯,你是對(duì)的。那很好。很棒。”不過(guò),我不能代表所有加拿大人,因?yàn)檫@也要取決于你的個(gè)性,不過(guò)總的來(lái)說(shuō),這是一個(gè)不同點(diǎn)。而且,我認(rèn)為美男人一般來(lái)說(shuō)效率更高,而且他們和別人的關(guān)系以及在和別人進(jìn)行討論方面要更保守,而加拿大人則更開(kāi)放,更自由,更隨和,而和我一起工作的美國(guó)人,我認(rèn)為他們的想法很開(kāi)放,一點(diǎn)也不保守,不過(guò)如果從總體來(lái)說(shuō),從文化上來(lái)說(shuō),我想兩種文化或者說(shuō)受這些文化影響的人們有一些不同點(diǎn)。

Todd: Yeah, anything else, any other differences?

托德:沒(méi)錯(cuò),那有嗎,還有其他不同點(diǎn)嗎?

Mike: Well, I think, one thing that Americans tend to point to with Canadians, and it is true to some extent, other than our love of hockey, is sense of humor. I think Canadians in general tend to have a, I wouldn't say unique, but they just tend to look at I guess, look at things with a little bit more of, a bit of humor, too it, and I think the main reason for that is cause it's so bloody cold in Canada.

邁克:我想,美國(guó)人和加拿大人其中一個(gè)需要指出的不同點(diǎn)是,除了我們對(duì)冰球的喜愛(ài),從某種程度上來(lái)說(shuō)應(yīng)該是不同的幽默感。我認(rèn)為總體來(lái)說(shuō),我不認(rèn)為他們的幽默感很獨(dú)特,不過(guò)加拿大人以更幽默的方式來(lái)看待事物,我想主要原因是加拿大太冷了。

Todd: Fair enough. Thanks Mike.

托德:有道理。謝謝你,邁克。
