Therefore, friend's position is important in Chinese's mind. The purpose that Chinese don't go Dutch is doesn't want to destroy the friendship between the friends. Dutch treatment is the stingy behavior in China, is unfavorable to the friends' solidarity and is unfavorable to keeping the harmonious interpersonal relationship。

因此，在中國人的頭腦中把朋友放在很重要的位置。中國人不采用各自付賬的方式不會損害朋友間的友誼。相反，各付己賬被認為是小氣的行為，這不利于朋友的團結，也不利于保持和諧的人際關系。
　　Third, it is only simple “Have a meal!” that Occidental entertain guests. It is not purpose that Chinese entertain guests, but it is the means. In Americans' idea, “Have a meal” definition is to add fuel to the body for keeping health and normal life activity. Thus resist the attack of disease. That is to say, there is no any additional value。

　　第三，西方人接待客人“吃飯”很簡單，不像中國人接待客人那樣帶有意圖。在美國人的心目中，“吃飯”無非就是給身體增加營養(yǎng)，保持身體健康和維持正常的生理活動，以抵御疾病的侵擾。換句話說，這里面根本沒有任何附加的價值。
