西方人

Some of you can't bear the bad service offered by some busboys. We are all busybodies. We can't afford the time quarreling with busboys.""No way for us?"" No. I have a solution. I told you I would be responsible and I won't eat my words. In fact I have borrowed a minibus from a friend of mine. No driver? I am not a person who embraces the Buddha's feet in a crisis. I learned to drive.

中国人用英语写作是跨文化交际最常用、也是最重要的途径之一，但是由于中国人与西方人在生存环境、历史、宗教、思维方式等方面的差异以及由此而产生的汉英两种语言的不同特点，中国人提高英语写作水平的障碍往往植根于中西文化方面的差异。

Also the British Empire had millions of slaves and "colonised" countries.

所以我希望你们，不要认为所有西方人都是傲慢无礼又无知的，我们也有会用脑子思考，用眼睛观察事实真相的人。

The embodiment of such division on matters as "apology" is that westerners are dualists on motive and effect while Chinese are monists on motive and effect.

这一区分，在&道歉&之类问题上的体现就是，西方人是动机效果二元论者，而中国人是动机效果统一论者。

The problem lies behind, I'm afraid, is the diversity of cultures: westerners are dualists on motive and effect, while Chinese are monists.

问题恐怕在于文化差异，西方人是动机效果二元论者，而中国人是动机效果统一论者。

However, it's quite interesting to find that most Easterners chose red while most of the westerners preferred blue.

然而，很有趣的发现--大多数东方人选择了东方红，大多数西方人喜欢蓝色。

At this point easterners should sincerely learn from them. By the way, this point is also a key point to distinguish oriental culture from the western.

在这一点上，东方人是应该很好地向西方人学习的，这是顺便谈到的，也是东西方文化区别很重要的一点。

So, maybe westerners are used to one-night-stand lifestyle, but not for easterners.

因此，也许西方人习惯了这种一夜情（one-night-stand，我不玩这个，此词不熟，猜的）的生活方式，但这不属于我们东方人。

For easterners winter is a cause of mild concern; for westerners it can still be a very real threat.

对于东方人来说，冬天只须略加关注便可；而对于西方人，冬天有时却是实实在在的威胁。

According to research published August 13th in the journal Current Biology, Easterners and Westerners might not speak the same facial language.

根据发表在8月13日的《当代生物学》杂志上的一项研究，东方人和西方人的面部语言可能不同。

So while Westerners may use their whole faces to show that they're elated, Easterners may express that feeling mainly around their eyes.

因此虽然西方人可能用他们的整个面部来表现他们的愉悦之情，而东方人可能主要是通过他们的眼睛来表现这种感觉。

But we don't care about Battlegrounds.

但我们并不在乎沙场中的显露。

Ah! don't mention it, the butcher's shop is a horror.

啊！不用提了。提到肉，真是糟透了。
