原文及翻譯
my friend Steve moved to another country. He had lived in Canada all his life, and he moved to Japan. Life in Japan was very different for Steve than what he was used to. At first, Steve suffered from culture shock. His whole life seemed different.
我的朋友史蒂夫搬到了另一個國家。他一生都住在加拿大,后來搬到了日本。對史蒂夫來說,日本的生活與他習(xí)慣的生活截然不同。起初,史蒂夫遭受了文化沖擊。他的整個生活似乎都不同了。

Steve had to get used to the food. In Japan, the people eat a lot of fish. Steve had never eaten much fish before. Steve wanted pizza, but it was expensive in Japan. Steve said that he had to adjust his eating habits. The people in Japan have different customs than we do here in Canada.
史蒂夫不得不習(xí)慣那里的食物。在日本,人們吃很多魚。史蒂夫以前從未吃過太多魚。史蒂夫想吃披薩,但日本的披薩很貴。史蒂夫說他必須調(diào)整飲食習(xí)慣。日本人的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣與我們加拿大人不同。

史蒂夫不想冒犯任何人,所以他必須學(xué)習(xí)風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣。他必須了解日本人認(rèn)為什么是禮貌的,什么是粗魯?shù)?。有時在外國,你可以做一些侮辱別人的事情,甚至沒有意識到你是粗魯?shù)摹?/p>
At first, Steve had trouble with the language. He said that the only way to really learn the language is to talk to people. Steve talked to a lot of people. He made a lot of mistakes, but people were patient with him and they tried to help him with his Japanese. It wasn't long before Steve felt more comfortable in his new surroundings.
起初,史蒂夫在語言方面遇到了困難。他說,真正學(xué)習(xí)語言的唯一方法是與人交談。史蒂夫與很多人交談過。他犯了很多錯誤,但人們對他很有耐心,并試圖幫助他學(xué)習(xí)日語。不久之后,史蒂夫就對新環(huán)境感到更自在了。
You have to be willing to learn new customs and a new language if you move to another country. Steve feels very comfortable in Japan and in Canada now. He is thinking about going to another country now. He thinks that he might like to try and live in Italy.

I'm sure that he would get over his culture shock very fast if he moved there. Moving to a new country can be difficult, but if you are willing to learn, it can be a very rewarding experience.
我相信如果他搬到那里,他會很快克服文化沖擊。搬到一個新的國家可能很困難,但如果你愿意學(xué)習(xí),這將是一次非常有益的經(jīng)歷。
