美國人是什么樣的？你覺得美國人是什么樣的？今天潘吉和Jenny要和你聊聊人們不同地區的美國人的刻板印象，比如紐約人、加州人、南方人或是西部牛仔都是怎樣的？留言告訴我們你對美國人的印象是什么吧！

聽力提示：

1. stereotype 模式化的印象

2. The American South 美國南方:

slow, friendly, enjoy life, "Southern hospitality", Southern twang

緩慢，友好，生活至上，熱情好客，南方口音

3. They talk slowly, they move slowly, some people think slowly. But they're friendly. 他們講話慢，行動慢，有些人思維也很慢。但是他們對人很友好。

4. "I'm from the South. We talk like this." 我是南方人，我們說話就是這樣的。

5. But Florida has a special reputation. Florida has a reputation that it's full of crazy people.

佛羅里達有自己獨特的名聲，就是瘋子比較多。

6. New England (Northeast) 紐英格蘭地區(Massachusetts, New York, Boston, etc.):

quite serious, hard-working, sophisticated, snobbish

有點嚴肅，工作認真，成熟世故，高傲勢力

7. They're very busy all the time; they don't have time to slow down like Southern people. 他們總是很忙，沒時間像南方人一樣慢生活。

8. You can't take it easy. 你不能放松自己。

9. West Coast 西海岸:

rich, relaxed, innovative

有錢，放松，有創新意識的

10. So in Califonia, people have a lot of money, but they're not as busy as in New York. They're much more relaxed. 加州的人很有錢，但是不像紐約人那么忙。

11. They are doing things, like they are making money, so I think they're busier than the Southerners, you know, by reputation. But they are not uptight like East Coast people.

他們還是干活兒的，比如他們會賺錢啊，所以我覺得他們比南方人要忙，你知道他們有這樣的名聲在外。但是他們不像東海岸的人那樣神經緊繃。

12. Yeah, because Silicon Valley is in California too. 是啊，而且硅谷也在加州啊。

13. Right, so they also feel that they're the center of America culture. 對，對已他們也覺得自己是美國文化的中心。

14. They both think that way. 他們兩邊都這么覺得。

15. The Mid-West 中西部地區:

simple, traditional, nice

簡單，傳統的，人很好

16. Some of that is close, but the Mid-West is more towards the north. (西部和中西部)有些地區很近，但是中西部地區更靠北。

17. Like people in New York don't care about the Mid-West. 比如紐約人就不在中西部地區的人啊。

18. And the north part of the Mid-West, they're very much like the Canadians, like Minnesota, that kind of the place.

中西部地區靠北的人和加拿大人很像，像明尼蘇達州之類的地方。

19. You guys make fun of them ALL THE TIME. 你們一直拿(加拿大人)開玩笑啊！

20. They're easy-going, so they're easy to make fun of. 他們很隨和，所以拿來開玩笑也不會生氣。

21. That's what we think of the Canadians. They are too nice. 這就是我們對加拿大人的印象，他們人太好了。

22. And their police ride horses. I think that's pretty funny. 而且他們的警察還騎馬，這個太搞笑了。
