美國(guó)人強(qiáng)調(diào)效率、競(jìng)爭(zhēng)和獨(dú)創(chuàng)性，而中國(guó)人則將嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)規(guī)劃放在首位，鼓勵(lì)團(tuán)隊(duì)成員之間的密切合作和無私奉獻(xiàn)。//在美國(guó)學(xué)校，討論享有至高無上的地位，討論是課堂教學(xué)的主旋律;而中國(guó)教師喜歡講課，喜歡考試，編寫千篇一律的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)教案，培養(yǎng)整齊劃一的高材生。//美國(guó)人的政治觀，經(jīng)濟(jì)觀以及社會(huì)觀的核心是個(gè)人道德自治觀。中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)的思想體系是以儒家學(xué)說為基礎(chǔ)的，這種思想強(qiáng)調(diào)整體和諧。//現(xiàn)在，中美聯(lián)系比以往更加緊密，中國(guó)人學(xué)英語，玩保齡球，吃肯德基，美國(guó)人學(xué)漢語，練功夫，吃北京烤鴨，《泰坦尼克》駛進(jìn)中國(guó)，《牡丹亭》也在百老匯上演。//
譯文：
American people emphasize efficiency, competition and originality while Chinese people give priority to careful planning and encourage close cooperation and altruistic dedication among team members.//In American schools, discussion is given top priority while Chinese teachers like to lecture in class,and a lot of them are obsessed with examinations. They write consistent and standardized teaching plans, and are happy with bringing up identical and standardized talents.//Central to American political, economic and social thought is the concept of individual moral autonomy. Traditional Chinese philosophical systems are based on Confucianism, which sings high praises for communal harmony.//Nowadays, the relation of China and America become closer than ever. Chinese learn English, play bowling, enjoy KFC, while Americans learn Chinese, exercise Kung Fu, like Peking Duck. And Titanic sailed into China, while The Peony Pavilion has been performed on Broadway.//
