背景小故事
出国前，我们通过一段时间的努力基本掌握了在课程、学习和生活等基本情境中使用英语与人沟通的能力。但这并不意味着除此之外就不再有其他方面的文化差异阻碍我们顺利融入国外的生活。语言不通虽然能极大地阻碍来自不同文化的人正常地交流，但只有真正经历过国外生活的人才明白，克服了语言不同这个障碍只是这条漫长的文化破冰之旅


的开始。
都知道国内外有许多文化差异，为了让大家能更好地为出国做好准备，先给大家打一点“预防针”吧，以下都是同学们亲身经历的文化差异！真是又好笑又无语快来看看，让你出国后不会太shock！
1. 外国室友听我说完“冬天只喝热水，对胃好，喝冷水消化不良”的理论之后相当差异地问：“喝热水难道不会烫伤胃吗怎么反而对胃好？”我真答不上来。
2.一个耶鲁小哥哥问我中国人为什么一直要说nigger （内个） 我就跟人家解释我们是在说which one...
3. 和同性好友一起走，有一天挽着手，被以为是蕾丝？
4. 外国人觉得中国留学生都是连体婴，扎堆抱团， 啥啥都要一起，可是在我们大中华，女生手拉手去上洗手间是我们友谊的一种象征呀~外国人觉得我们太不独立，我们觉得他们太大惊小怪~

my name is brad li. i'm here today to tell you about my experience as an exchange student in the united states last year.
i must admit that at first america was a big culture shock for me. many things were strange to me: the language, the food and even the school.
i stayed with a host family in a small town. my host parents, mr. and mrs. hurst, were very kind. they organized a lot of activities for me in my spare time so that i wouldn't miss home or feel lonely.
however, to a


certain degree, life in the us was hard to get used to. my main problem was with the language. i failed to understand much in the 10 first few weeks because everyone spoke so fast. though i soon managed to get used to it, i still had problems because they used a lot of idioms. for example, they often say they are "under the weather" when they are ill. their everyday english is very different from what we learn in china.
another difference was the food. my host family always had bread, 15 potatoes and salad for meals. i really missed the dumplings, rice and delicious dishes from home.
school was a big shock too. they do not require students to wear uniforms, so students can wear almost whatever they like. some students have strange hairstyles as well. some students even have pink or purple hair!
anyway, i have many great memories of that year, especially playing in the snow in winter, and playing baseball. at halloween, i went to a party dressed as harry potter. at thanksgiving, we had a big dinner with a huge turkey.
it was an exciting year, and it was a valuable education for me. now i understand more about american culture. my american friends asked me many questions about life


in china, and this made me think about my own culture as well.

my name is brad li. i'm here today to tell you about my experience as an exchange student in the united states


last year.
我的名字叫布拉德李。 今天我在这里讲述我去年在美国作为一名交换生的经历。
i must admit that at first america was a big culture shock for me. many things were strange to me: the language, the food and even the school.
我必须承认，起初美国（文化）对我来说是个很大的文化冲击。许多事物是陌生的：语言、食物甚至学校。
i stayed with a host family in a small town. my host parents, mr. and mrs. hurst, were very kind. they organized a lot of activities for me in my spare time so that i wouldn't miss home or feel lonely.
我与小镇上的一个寄宿家庭生活在一起。我寄宿家庭的父母，赫斯特先生和夫人，非常善良。在我的空闲时间里，他们为我组织了许多活动，以防我想家，或是觉得孤独。
however, to a certain degree, life in the us was hard to get used to. my main problem was with the language. i failed to understand much in the 10 first few weeks because everyone spoke so fast. though i soon managed to get used to it, i still had problems because they used a lot of idioms. for example, they often say they are "under the weather" when they are ill. their everyday english is very different from what we learn in china.
然而，从某种程度来说，美国的生活很难适应。我的主要问题是语言。在最初的几周，我理解不了多少，因为大家说得很快。虽然我很快努力适应了，但我仍然会遇到麻烦，因为他们用了许多习语。例如，生病时，他们经常说 “under the weather"（略有不适）。他们的日常英语与我们在中国学的差别很大。
another difference was the food. my host family always had bread, 15 potatoes and salad for meals. i really missed the dumplings, rice and delicious dishes from home.
另一个差别是食物。我寄宿的家庭吃饭总是吃面包、土豆和沙拉。我真的想念家乡的水饺、米饭和美味佳肴。
school was a big shock too. they do not require students to wear uniforms, so students can wear almost whatever they like. some students have strange hairstyles as well. some students even have pink or purple hair!
学校也是一个大的冲击。他们不要求学生穿校服，因此学生几乎可以穿他们喜欢的一切。一些学生也留着奇怪的发型。 一些学生甚至留着粉红色或紫色的头发!
anyway, i have many great memories of that year, especially playing in the snow in winter, and playing baseball. at halloween, i went to a party dressed as harry potter. at thanksgiving, we had a big dinner with a huge turkey.
无论如何，那一年我有很多美好的回忆，尤其是冬天在雪地里玩和打棒球。在万圣节前夕，我打扮成哈利波特去参加了一个聚会。在感恩节，我们吃了一顿有着一只硕大火鸡的大餐。
it was an exciting year, and it was a valuable education for me .now i understand more about american culture. my american friends asked me many questions about life in china, and this made me think about my own culture as well.
