(二) 中西方生活习惯和礼节的差异,同样反映在语言上 这方面的例子可以说俯拾皆是。例如:“Where are you going?” 这句话在我们中国是常说的一句话,在路上碰到熟人,闲着没事随便一问。可是美国人听了,他们会感到迷惑不解,因为“going to some place” is quite a private business of their own.在他们的国家里,只有警察才有权利这样问。还有“Have you had your meal?”,在中国已成为最常用的问候语了。但在美国的大街上,你这样说意味着,你要请朋友吃饭去。 入乡随俗,这话不假。英国人喜欢谈论天气,假若你到了伦敦,见面就谈天气没错。而且你千万不要与对方的观点相抵触,即使大雨倾盆,雷雨交加,英国人说“天气真好”(Nice day, isn't it?),你不能说不好:Yes, it is a lovely day!这里有文为证: Every Country Has Its Own Customs “Where are you going?” This question is often asked by Chinese when two friends meet in the street. But if you ask Americans the same question, they will be puzzled because they think that “going to some place” is quite a private business of their own. It has nothing to do with other people. In their eyes, only a policeman will ask such a question in the street. The same thing will happen to Americans if you ask, “Have you had your meal?” In fact, to us Chinese, such questions do not mean anything but a greeting.

If you have dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto your plate as soon as you have emptied it. That often discomforts you greatly. You have to eat the food even if you do not want any more. You have also noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American's dinner party, he very often refuses the offer of food or drink though he's in fact still hungry or thirsty.
