(1) American Space, Chinese Place

American have a sense of space, not of place. Go to an American home in exurbia, and

almost the first thing you do is drift toward the picture window. How curious that the first

compliment you pay your host inside his house is to say how lovely it is outside his house! He

is

pleased

that

you

should

admire

his

vistas.

The

distant

horizon

is

not

merely

a

line

separating earth from

sky,

it

is

a

symbol

of

the future.

The American

is

not

rooted

in

his

place, however lovely: his eyes are drawn by the expanding space to a point on the horizon,

which is his future.

By contrast, consider the traditional Chinese home, blank walls enclose it. Outside is a

courtyard

with

perhaps

a

miniature

garden

around

a

corner.

Once

inside

his

private

compound

you

are

wrapped

in

an

ambiance

of

calm

beauty,

an

ordered

world

of

buildings, pavement, rock, and decorative vegetation. But you have no distant view: nowhere

does space open out before you, the only open space is the sky above. The Chinese is rooted

in his place.

Go Dutch

Then what was once called the Women’s Lib came along and females of my generation

claimed that we wanted equality. We didn’t want doors opened for us, we didn’t want bills

paid. Suddenly, being wined and dined was considered insulting, part of the male conspiracy

to keep us in our place. So we got out our checkbooks and went Dutch. What a huge mistake

that was! If I had carried on assuming I’d be paid for, I would not only have saved a lot of

money, but a lot of worry as well. I used to spend entire meals wondering what to do when

the bill arrived. Should I offer to pay half? If I don’t, will he expect me to kiss him or…And

if he’s paying, can I still have the lobster? How fair is it of me even to offer to pay half when

I know I

’ll be disappointed in him if he accepted? And what if he’s got less money than me,

should I pay for it all?

过

节

孩提时住在农村，常常盼望过节。记得最有乐趣的节，莫过于年终的

“

谢天地

”

。那

谢完天地之后，母亲用福礼汤（鸡、肉汤）下的银丝面条，其鲜美无比至今还留下十分美

好的记忆。

工作之后，我却渐渐对过节不感兴趣了。原因是当我单身时，我喜欢看书，笔耕。

在诸多家务中，每天买菜是我的任务。中国人过节，吃是主要 内容，为了显示过节

的气氛和水平，少说也要搞它个十菜八肴的。这样一来，节前的紧张 采购暂且不说，节后

的剩菜处理也落在我一个人身上，妻孩们是不愿吃隔天菜的，自幼来 自农村且深受

“

谁知盘

中餐，粒粒皆辛 苦

”

陶冶的我，是断然不肯将能吃的剩菜倒掉的，于是节后天天 吃剩菜。所

以我不喜欢过节。

Festival- celebrating

I always looked forward to festivals while I was a kid living in the countryside. As I now

recall

it,

no

othe

r

festival

held

greater

fascination

for

me

than

“Thanksgiving”

ceremony

held at the end of the Chinese lunar year. To express gratitude to Heaven and Earth, Mother

would use, among other dishes, “Thanks

-for-

Happiness Soup” (chicken and meat soup) as

one

of

the

offerings,

and,

the

rituals

over,

she

would

cook

the

whitest

and

finest

noodles

(called “silver

-

thread noodles”) in the broth. The delicious taste lingers to this day!

After I graduated and started my career, my interest in festival- celebrating began to fade.

When I was single, I loved reading and writing, which necessitated frequent trips to libraries

to consult the relevant data. When such a need should arise during the holidays when the

libraries were usually not open, I’d feel much dismayed, being

absolutely unable to make use

of the valuable time that flew away.

Of

the

many

household

duties

after

my

marriage,

going

marketing

everyday

is

my

job.

Festival

celebration

for

us

Chinese

chiefly

consists

in

eating.

To

help

create

the

festival

atmosphere and show off the level of the festivities, at least a score of meat and vegetables

dishes

should

be

laid

out.

So,

besides

the

pre-festival

frantic

shopping,

the

post-festival

disposal of the leftovers fell to my lot, my wife and children being loath to touch the leavings.

Born

in

the

countryside

and

always

taught

to

believe

profoundly

in

the

need

to

“treasure

each

and

every

grain

of

rice

in

the

bowl”,

I

flatly

refuse

to

throw

away

the

leftovers.

Therefore, in the days immediately following the festival I had to finish up the scraps one by

one. Hence, my distaste for the festivals.

孟浩然

春眠不觉晓，处处闻啼鸟．

The Spring Dawn

Slumbering, I know not the spring dawn is peeping,

But everywhere the singing birds are cheeping.

Last night I heard the rain dripping and wind

weeping,

How many petals are now on the ground sleeping?

美国人的空间与中国人的场所

美国人有空间意识，没有场所概念。如果你去住在郊外的美国人家中作客，你要做的

第一件事几乎总是不由自主地走向观景窗。说来真怪，你在主人屋内首先赞扬他屋外的景

色多么美！主人很高兴你会欣赏他屋外的远景。远方的地平线不仅仅是天地间的分界线，

而且是未来的象征。美国人不会扎根于他的寓所，不管这寓所多么舒适：他的目光被辽阔

的空间引向地平线上的一点，那是他的未来。

相比之下，来看看中国人传统的家。四周围着光秃秃的墙壁，外面是个院子，院角可

能有 个小花园。一进入这样一个私家小院，你就会置身于一种静谧、优美的氛围之中，那

房舍 、小径、石头、花草

构成了一个井然有序的小天地。可是你看 不到远处的风景：你前

面没有任何开阔的空间，唯一的开阔空间是头顶上的天空。中国人 扎根于他的场所之中。

制（各自付账）

随后便出现了一度称作妇女解放的运动。我这一代女性宣称我们要求平等。说我们不

想让别人为我们开门，我们不想让别人替我们付账。突然间，让男人请去饮酒进餐被认为

是一种侮辱，认为这是男人们让我们安分守己的阴谋，所以我们拿出自己的支票簿，各付

各的账。这是一个多么大的错误啊！如果我顺其自然地同意别人为我付钱的话，不仅可以

省下很多钱，而且还省去了许多烦恼。我常常整顿饭都在考虑账单来了怎么办？我是否应

该表示付一半？如果我不这样做，他是否期待我会吻他或

……

如果是他付账，我还能吃龙

虾吗？在我知道如果他接受了我提出的付一半的提议而这时 我又会感到失望时，提出付一

半的建议又有多少是真诚的呢？如果他的钱没有我的钱多， 账单全部由我付吗？

The impact of this technical revolution is having on retail commerce and on the means

It is likely to revolutionize the relationships marketers have with retailers, their channels of

distribution,

their

suppliers,

their

and

their

consumers.

Marketers will need to examine how the rocketing cyberspace developments will affect their

current and future branding methodologies and determine how and when to adjust them to

the ever-growing speed of technological advances.

）奥巴马就职演讲节选

We remain a young nation, but in the words of scripture, the time has come to set aside

childish

things.

The

time

has

come

to

reaffirm

our

enduring

spirit;

to

choose

our

better

history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to

generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free and all deserve a chance to

pursue their full measure of happiness.

In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given.

It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of shortcuts or settling for less. It has not

been the path for the faint-hearted -- for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the

pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of

things -- some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have

carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.

For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search

of a new life.

For us, they endured the lash of the whip and toiled in sweatshops

For us, they plowed the hard earth and settled the West.

For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe

Sahn.

毫减弱的迹象。电子商务渗透到各种商业媒体中的速度是如此 之快，连最狂热的网络爱好

我们越来越深切地感受 到这种科技革命对零售业的冲击，以及对与传统零售运销联系

方式的影响。科技革命可能 会使营销商与零售商、货物分配渠道、供应商、广告代理商及
