Cultural Notes 文化注釋

美國是個移民國家，有全世界各種族的人，常被稱為 melting pot(大熔爐)或更確切地被稱為 salad bowl(色拉缽)，因為各種族的人既是美國人，同時還保留了一些本族的文化特點。其中有歐洲白人(whites)、黑人(blacks)、拉美移民(the Hispanic)、印第安人(Indians)、東方人(Orientals)等等。這使得美國人在皮膚、頭發及眼睛的顏色上彼此呈現出很大的差異。以白人為例，其頭發就有 bolnde, brown, black, red 等，眼睛有 blue, brown, gray, green 等。白人女子可分為 a blonde (金發女子)，a brunette (黑發女子)，a redhead (紅發女子) 等。?
