To be comfortable on her long flight to Tokyo, she put on her favorite designer jeans and a casual jacket. Fourteen hours l
2、ater, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport. Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. With her carry-on bag in one hand, Geri took their cards with the other. She thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and packed them safely into her back p
3、ocket. She then gave them her card.When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the lobby. While sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened. One of Geris most charming qualities is her instinctive warmth. She was thrilled with the g
4、ift and, in typical Geri style, she squealed, “Oh, its beautiful!“ as she gave each of the gentlemen a little hug.At this point, the four Japanese gentlemen stood up in union and, bowing only very slightly, mumbled “Sayonara“ and promptly left. Poor Geri was left stunned. What did she do wrong?Every
5、thing! Her jeans was the first gaffe. Even if youre coming off a bicycle in Japan, you do not meet clients casually dressed. The second mistake was Geris vulgar handling of their business cards. In Japan, the business card is one of the most important protocol tools. It is always presented and accep
6、ted respectfully with both hands. However, Geri put their cards away much too quickly. In Japan, people use business cards as a conversation starter. You chat about each others cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safekeeping. Shoving it into he
7、r jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.Then, the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients. In a land where saving face is critical, it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received. What is wors

12、d, in some ways, is characterized by less social distinction.Yet in spite of all the informality, America is not completely without customs that show consciousness of social distinction. For example, U U 1 /U /U. While the informal “Hello“ is an acceptable greeting from employee to employer, the emp
13、loyee is more apt to say, “Hello, Mr. Ferguson,“ whereas the employer may reply, “Hello, Jim.“ Southerners make a point of saying “Yes, sir,“ or “Yes, maam,“ or “No, sir,“ or “No, maam,“ when talking to an older person or a person in position of authority. Although this is a good form all over the U
14、nited States, “Yes. Mr. Western“ or “No, Mrs. Baker“ is somewhat more common in a similar situation in the North or WestU U 2 /U /U. Though people wear hats less now than in the past, women still occasionally wear hats in church and at public social functions (except those that are in the evening).U

16、ent.American surface informality often confuses the foreigner because he interprets it to mean no formality at all. U U 5 /U /U. A teacher, though friendly, pleasant, and informal in class, expects students to study hard, and he grades each students work critically and carefully. He also expects to
17、be treated with respect. Although students are free to ask questions about statements made by the teacher, and may say that they disagree with what he says, U U 6 /U /USimilarly, in boy-girl relationships a foreign student should not mistake the easy relationship and flattery that are part of the da
18、ting pattern in the United States, nor presume that it means more than it does.Also, because an American is perhaps more likely to admit and laugh at his own mistakes than one who stands more on his dignity, U U 7 /U /U. The American is quite ready to admit certain weaknesses such as “I never was go
19、od at mathematics.“ “Im a rotten tennis player.“ or “Im the worlds worst bridge player.“ However, the stranger must not be too quick to agree with him. Americans think it is all right, even sporting, to admit a defect in themselves, U U 8 /U /U. A part of American idea of good sportsmanship is the p
20、oint of being generous to a loser. This attitude is carried over into matters that have nothing to do with competition. If a man talks about his weak points, the listener says something in the way of encouragement, or points to other qualities in which the speaker excels. An American student reports
21、 that when he was in a foreign country he was completely stunned when he said to a native, “I dont speak your language very well.“ and the native replied, “I should say you dont.“ In a similar situation an American would have commented, “Well, you have only been here two months.“ or “U U 9 /U /U.“Al
22、though Americans are quite informal, it is best for a foreigner, in case of doubt, to be too formal rather than not formal enough.
