In some countries, because the man realizes that the
37、traveler is tired and eager to get to his destination (目的地), he will politely say “Just down the road“. He thinks this is more encouraging, gentler, and therefore the wanted answer. So the American drives through the night, getting more and more angry, feeling “tricked“. He thinks the man purposely
38、cheated him, for obviously he mast have known the distance quite well.Had conditions been turned over, the American would have felt he was “cheating“ the driver if he had said the next town was close when he knew it was really 15 miles further on. Though, he, too, would be sympathetic (同情的) to the w
39、eary driver, he would say “You have a good way to go yet; it is at least 15 miles“.

44、ng than their own. They may choose to see a particular film because they like the actors or because they have heard the film has a good story.

45、real to them. They become involved in the lives of the characters in the movie, and for two hours, they forget all about their own problems.
