1. Don't hitchhike.
Maybe you see a lot of free ride hitchhiker stories in a lot of travel books, but it's actually not very common in the United States today.
2. Don't call blacks "negro."
negro is the English word for "black". In particular, black people who were trafficked from Africa into slavery in the United States; So in the United States, you should never call a black person a "negro," and this is true when talking to a white person, and even more so when talking to a black person.
3. Don't just say "I am sorry".
"I am sorry" and "excuse me" both mean "sorry" and "sorry", but "i am sorry" has a heavier tone, indicating that you have admitted your mistakes or mistakes; If you export easily for the sake of politeness, you will often be caught by the other party; Hold accountable those who don't actually belong to you.
4. Humility is not a virtue.
Chinese see humility as a virtue, but Americans see humility as synonymous with hypocrisy. If a person who speaks English fluently humbly says that he does not speak English well, and then speaks English fluently, Americans will think that he is a liar, a duplicitous and posturing person; Therefore, when entering into exchanges with the United States, we should boldly state our own abilities, and there is no need to be modest and polite.
5. Same-sex people can't dance together.
Same-sex people can't dance together, and it's one of the accepted social etiquettes in the United States. When people of the same sex dance together, they will look at them reproachfully, or think they are gay. Therefore, even if you can't find a dance partner of the opposite sex, you should never dance with someone of the same sex.
6. Don't take off your shoes in front of others.
In the United States, if you take off your shoes or go barefoot in front of others, you are considered a barbarian who does not know the etiquette. Only in the bedroom, or between a man and a woman in love, can you take off your shoes. If a woman takes off her shoes in front of a man, it means "you can do whatever you like"; When men take off their shoes, they are treated with the same contempt as barefoot natives in the jungle.
7. Women can't drink alone.
Women are not allowed to drink alone, and if they drink alone or in groups of women, they are considered "women waiting for men". Women who do not understand this may be harassed by men in the form of "self-nominations".
8. Don't stick out your tongue in front of others.
Americans think that sticking out their tongues in front of others is a kind of behavior that is both contemplative and impolite, giving people a vulgar and obscene feeling, and can even be explained as looking down on people, children make mistakes, they can stick out their tongues, and look innocent and cute, adults must not do this.
9. Don't get drunk at the banquet.
Drink in moderation at banquets and always maintain Sven manners, which is a common etiquette for Europeans and Americans. At American banquets, it is rare to see people who are drunk, even if they drink too much, they must hold on until the end of the banquet and return to their own rooms before they can afford to collapse. If you get drunk on the spot and cause trouble, you will attract the contempt of everyone.
It's true, in Area 51, the US military base, secretly, there were 2 aliens in it, and one died, and that was the corpse. The Americans have cooperated with them many times, and this time didn't the Americans build a supersonic fighter? That's the evidence.
Jay-Z is the East Coast rap style, but it's not limited to East and West 2 Shore anymore, Eminem is a great white rapper when black people dominate rap!! His rap has influenced a lot of young people and rappers 50cent is an authentic black rapper!! It's not that 50cent studied under eminem, it's because eminem discovered 50cent back then, so there is now 50!
America's national treasures are divided into three categories, namely "commemoration," "rationality," and "imagination." >>>More
The U.S. economy is currently in the midst of a full-blown financial crisis, which has led to many banks on the verge of collapse due to losses. The banking industry is generally more concerned with balancing its balance sheets, leading to a borrowing crunch or even a drying up of borrowing, the inevitable consequence of which is that the US economy falls into recession. Now that we are entering a recession, the United States** is taking steps to inject capital into the banks and hopefully develop effective policies to end the financial crisis. >>>More
China currently has nearly $2 trillion in foreign exchange reserves, 80 percent of which are in dollars, 60 percent of which are U.S. Treasury bonds. China's holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds account for about 10% of its issuance, and if China makes a move, the world will be watching. It doesn't matter if you buy it, if you sell it, it will cause panic selling, and if the bonds in China's hands are not taken off, it will be substantial, and the US Treasury bonds in China's foreign exchange reserves will suffer painful losses, which is equivalent to not getting along with yourself. >>>More
