美國人強調效率、競爭和獨創性，而中國人則將嚴謹規劃放在首位，鼓勵團隊成員之間的密切合作和無私奉獻。//在美國學校，討論享有至高無上的地位，討論是課堂教學的主旋律；而中國教師喜歡講課，喜歡考試，編寫千篇一律的標準教案，培養整齊劃一的高材生。//美國人的政治觀，經濟觀以及社會觀的核心是個人道德自治觀。中國傳統的思想體系是以儒家學說為基礎的，這種思想強調整體和諧。//現在，中美聯系比以往更加緊密，中國人學英語，玩保齡球，吃肯德基，美國人學漢語，練功夫，吃北京烤鴨，《泰坦尼克》駛進中國，《牡丹亭》也在百老匯上演。//

　　American people emphasize efficiency, competition and originality while Chinese people give priority to careful planning and encourage close cooperation and altruistic dedication among team members.//In American schools, discussion is given top priority while Chinese teachers like to lecture in class,and a lot of them are obsessed with examinations. They write consistent and standardized teaching plans, and are happy with bringing up identical and standardized talents.//Central to American political, economic and social thought is the concept of individual moral autonomy. Traditional Chinese philosophical systems are based on Confucianism, which sings high praises for communal harmony.//Nowadays, the relation of China and America become closer than ever. Chinese learn English, play bowling, enjoy KFC, while Americans learn Chinese, exercise Kung Fu, like Peking Duck. And Titanic sailed into China, while The Peony Pavilion has been performed on Broadway.//
