（美国文化特点）
A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is torespect the self-made man—the man who has risen to the top through his ownefforts,usually
beginning by working with his hands.While the leader in business or industry orthe college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greaterrespect in the
community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker,he maytake pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer orlaborer of some
sort.
美国文化的一个特点，并且几乎成为美国的一项传统的是对自我奋斗的人的尊敬――通过自己的努力到达顶峰，通常是白手起家。然而公司，企业的领导，社
会地位很高，在社区中获得比一般工人或工厂技术人员更多的尊敬的大学教授，都不愿说出自己的父亲在美国是从一个农民，工人这类人开始奋斗的。
This attitude toward manual（体力的）labor is now still seenmany aspects of American life.One is invited to dinner at a home that is notonly comfortably but even
luxuriously（豪华地）furnished and in which there is everyevidence of the fact the family has been able to afford foreigntravel,expensive hobbies,and college education for
the children;yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself,will serveit herself and will wash dishes afterward,furthermore the dinner will notconsist merely of
something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cakeor a pie bought at the nearby bakery.On the contrary,the hostess usually takespride in
careful preparation of special dishes.A professional may talk about washing thecar,digging in his flowerbeds,painting the house.His wife may even help withthese things,just
as he often helps her with the dishwashing.The son who is away at college maywait on table and wash dishes for his living,or during the summer he may workwith a
construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.
这种对体力劳动的尊敬在美国生活的很多地方都能看到。一个人被邀请到一户家庭赴宴，这户家庭装潢不只舒适，可以说是豪华，处处可证明这家人支付的起
国外旅行，奢侈的爱好和孩子的大学教育。但是这样的女主人很有可能自己做饭招待客人，然后洗刷餐具，并且这样的宴会不会仅仅提供快餐式的罐头食品，
从附近面包房买的蛋糕或派。相反的，女主人通常为精心准备特别的菜肴而感到自豪。男主人会谈论自己如何洗车，在花房劳作，粉刷房子，他的儿子在外地
上大学，做餐厅侍应生，洗盘子来供自己生活花费，或者暑假的时候为建筑队在高速公路工作赚钱付学费。
