Part 3　Let's Talk！　開(kāi)始交流吧！
     Jerry: I don't like my Chinese friends calling me "Lao Wai". It makes me feel that I am not one of them.
     杰瑞：我不喜歡中國(guó)的朋友叫我"老外"。這讓我感覺(jué)我不屬于他們中的一份子。
     Li Ming: Actually, Chinese people want to treat you as one of us. The word "lao" always implies respect and closeness when used to address someone. For example, senior people are often addressed as "lao Wang" or "lao Li".
     李明：事實(shí)上，中國(guó)人是希望把你當(dāng)作自己人看待。用"老"字稱呼某人通常包含尊敬和親近的意思。例如，年紀(jì)大的人通常被稱為"老王"或"老李"。
     Jerry: I see. Many people are learning English nowadays. But it's a bit weird to hear people say hello to me in the street. That's the word you use to answer phone. So it feels like everybody in the street is on the phone.
     杰瑞：我知道了。許多人如今都在學(xué)英語(yǔ)。但是當(dāng)我在街道上聽(tīng)到有人對(duì)我說(shuō)哈羅的時(shí)候感覺(jué)有點(diǎn)怪異。這個(gè)詞通常用于打電話。所以這讓我感覺(jué)街上的所有人都在打電話。
     Li Ming: Chinese people are friendly. We are also curious about people from afar. What you've just said is an example of such a feeling.
     李明：中國(guó)人都非常友善。我們通常對(duì)于遠(yuǎn)方來(lái)的人很好奇。你剛剛說(shuō)的恰恰就是一例。
     Jerry: But occasionally, some people tend to be over-enthusiastic. I was reading in a subway one hot summer day when a young man looked at my arm and asked, "Don't you feel hot with so much hair on your arm?" I have a five-year-old son. And sometimes people like to touch his face or even hold him up in the arms. He doesn't like that. So I have to explain to him that is the Chinese way of showing affection.
     杰瑞：但是有時(shí)候，一些人過(guò)度熱情了。記得在一個(gè)炎熱的夏天，當(dāng)我在地鐵站看報(bào)紙的時(shí)候有個(gè)年輕人看著我的手臂問(wèn)："你的手臂那么多汗毛不覺(jué)得熱嗎？"我有一個(gè)五歲的兒子。有時(shí)人們喜歡摸他的臉，甚至把他抱在胳膊上。他不喜歡這樣，所以我不得不向他解釋說(shuō)這是中國(guó)人表達(dá)喜愛(ài)的方式。
     Li Ming: That's just like what we read in "A neighbor is more dependable than a distant relative." Today's China has evolved from its agricultural origins, where there was limited mobility. Those old traditions have given rise to a unique level of human relationship, which doesn't accommodate personal privacy. People treat each other like one big family. The level of closeness is easily visible in everyday greetings such as "Have you eaten?" and "Where are you going?" Even during first encounters, Chinese people may still ask such questions as "Are you married?" "How old are you?" or other questions which may be very personal to westerner. Or you should learn to appreciate it rather than feeling offended.
     李明：這就像我們所說(shuō)的"遠(yuǎn)親不如近鄰"。中國(guó)的發(fā)展源自于流動(dòng)性很低的農(nóng)業(yè)。那些傳統(tǒng)導(dǎo)致了這種獨(dú)一無(wú)二的人際關(guān)系，即不太顧及個(gè)人隱私。人們對(duì)待彼此就像一家人。這種親近很容易在每天的打招呼中看出來(lái)，比如"吃了嗎？"和"你去哪兒？"。甚至在第一次見(jiàn)面時(shí)，中國(guó)人仍然會(huì)提出諸如"你結(jié)婚了嗎？""你多大了"或者其他一些在西方人看來(lái)非常私人的問(wèn)題?；蛟S你應(yīng)當(dāng)學(xué)著去理解他而非感到被侵犯。
     Jerry: I've got it. This is Chinese hospitality just like the person who shared your newspaper. I remember some of my western friends telling me that sometimes they will either charge less or offer more when doing the grocery shopping. Again this is all about Chinese hospitality.
     杰瑞：我知道了。就像有的人和你共享報(bào)紙是中國(guó)好客的表現(xiàn)。我記得一些西方朋友曾告訴我他們購(gòu)物時(shí)有時(shí)會(huì)少付錢(qián)或獲得更多的東西，這也是中國(guó)好客的表現(xiàn)。
     Li Ming: Well, it seems I am an unlucky person because I've never been in a situation where people are willing to charge me less.
     李明：這么看起來(lái)我是個(gè)不走運(yùn)的人，因?yàn)槲覜](méi)有遇到過(guò)少付錢(qián)的狀況。
