美式友谊
Friendship
Part
2
Yaser
is a little confused. He is an outsider to American culture. He
doesn't understand the way Americans view friendship. Americans
use the word friend in a very general way. They may call both casual
acquaintances and close companions "friends." Americans have school
friends, work friends, sports friends and neighborhood friends.
These friendships are based on common interests. When the shared
activity ends, the friendship may fade. Now Steve and Yaser are
no longer classmates. Their friendship has changed.
亚瑟有点困惑了,对于美国文化,他是个局外人(外行)。他不了解美国人对友谊的看法。美国人把「朋友」这个字用得非常广泛,一般的泛泛之交和亲密伙伴都算是朋友。美国人的朋友包含有学校的朋友、工作的朋友、运动的朋友或是街坊邻居。这些友谊都是建立在共同的兴趣上,当共同从事的活动结束时,友谊也可能跟着消失了。现在,史帝夫和亚瑟不再是同学,他们的「友谊」也就改变了。
In
some cultures friendship means a strong life-long bond between two
people. In these cultures friendships develop slowly, since they
are built to last. American society is one of rapid change. Studies
show that one out of five American families moves every year. American
friendships develop quickly, and they may change just as quickly.
在一些文化里,友谊意即两人之间一种强烈的,一世之久的情感。在这些文化里,友谊发展得慢,因为要持久。但美国是个急速变迁的社会,有些研究发现每年每五个美国家庭之中,就有一个家庭搬家。美国人的友谊建立得快,但也可能改变得快
