美国人眼里的中国

美国电影里的中国形象一、导言史景迁（Jonathan Spence）在考察欧美作家描摹中国的小说时，将其分为六类：其一是书写在中国内部的中国人，如赛珍珠（Pearl S. Buck）刻画中国农民，英国作家厄内斯特?布拉马（Ernest Bramah）写倒霉而幽默的凯?龙（Kai Lun），荷兰汉学家高罗佩（Robert Van Gulik）撰写狄公办案传奇等；其二是写在中国的西方人，如约翰?赫赛（John Hersey）小说《一块卵石》（A Single Pebble, 1956）的叙述者美国工程师，白修德（Theodore Harold White）笔下的美国飞行员英雄，畅销书詹姆斯?克莱威尔（James Clavell）的《大班》（Tai-Pan）和罗伯特?爱列根特（Robert Elegant）的《王朝》（Dynasty）里面的西人形象；其三是描写海外中国人的世界，如著名人物形象恶魔傅满洲（Fu Manchu）和华人探长陈查理（Charlie Chan），保尔?斯科特（Paul Scott）笔下的中国女子蒂娜?张（Tina Chang），汤亭亭（Maxine Hong Kingston）描写的金山华人和移民女性等；其四是把中国作为政治声明的焦点所在，如马尔罗的《人的命运》，布菜希特的《四川好人》等；其五是虚构地描写中国的学者，如赫尔曼?黑塞的《玻璃珠游戏》，哥兹沃西?洛兹?狄金森（Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson）的《中国人来信》，卡内蒂的《迷惘》等；其六是描写一种主观想像的中国，如卡夫卡的《万里长城》、谢阁兰的《勒内?莱斯》、卡尔维诺的《看不见的城市》、贝克特的《等待戈多》等。

史景迁的类型学划分，同样适用于解读美国电影里的中国形象。

作为"世俗神话"的美国电影，当然不会放弃中国形象这一经久不衰的刺激，而作为"他者"的中国与中国人，对于个人／文化意义上美国"自我"的构成，可谓必不可少的想象源泉。

盘点那些年出现在美剧中的中国元素中国元素在美剧中并不少见，各剧对中国元素玩得也越发的得心应手了，下面这些情节，追剧的你在看到的时候是会心一笑还是无言以对？宫保鸡丁：请叫我世界名菜看美剧学英语的同学，对Kung Pow Chicken（宫保鸡丁）一定不陌生，这道菜是美剧里出现频率最高的中国菜，没有之一，出现在餐桌上、外卖盒里的次数已经多到无法盘点，来看看跟剧情有关的吧：《老友记》钱钱潮妈爱吃鸡丁这可能是宫保鸡丁在美剧中最早的一次亮相了。

Chandler的美女潮妈在第一季第11集做节目的时候说到自己喜欢吃宫保鸡丁。

小编第一次看到这里的时候顿时倍感亲切！《生活大爆炸》一盒鸡丁引发的离家出走每周三是Sheldon一群人固定的"Chinese food day"，每集几乎都能看到主角们手捧外卖盒捉着筷子吃中餐的场景。

而在第七季第24集，Leonard把宫保鸡丁换成了另一家餐馆的，直接成了Sheldon离家出走的导火索之一。

歪果仁的汉语萌萌哒在不少剧中，主角们为了剧情需要都要时不时地飙一下汉语普通话(Mandarin)，作为曾经的一枚字幕组成员，小编表示，大部分的演员在说汉语的时候，我都不知道他们在缩神马！《绿箭侠》帅哥请继续加油这部剧里的中国元素不可谓不多：主角流落中国南海荒岛“炼狱”，功夫师承前解放军将军姚飞，回国之后又有著名中式反派“三合会”捣乱，这时候主角跟师父学的汉语就派上用场啦！虽然在第一季的时候，男主角用“流利的汉语”惊艳了中餐馆里的人（“他一口地道汉语一定是中国来的”——你在逗我？）让小编凌乱了很久，但是据演员本人说一直有在努力克服困难，在后面的剧情里，说起汉语来表现也是越来越好，有几句也是可以听懂的啦。

前路尚远，仍须努力哟！《基本演绎法》给米福的普通话点赞！吐槽过后，来个值得点赞的！在《基本演绎法》第一季第4集中，Sherlock在调查线索时给中餐馆大厨打了个电话，说了一句汉语，“有空再去尝你做的菜”。

美国人看中国考驾照《华盛顿邮报》不久前刊登了一篇妙文，文章开头列了几个题目，其中一个是这样的：如果遇到腹部外伤，比如小肠流到外面，应该如何处理：A：把它放回腹腔；B：不用处理；C：不要放回去，用杯子或碗盖住，然后用布带扎起来。

医学院的临床测验？还是战地的急救考试？都不是，这是中国的驾照理论测验。

《华盛顿邮报》文章就是调侃中国这些古怪题目的。

文章作者伊丽莎白·威廉姆逊并且说，这些题目让在华的美国外交官吃尽了苦头。

按照中国驾照理论考试规定，100道题目中，错10道以上就不通过，美国外交官们只有少数人能一次通过。

其实，调侃中国驾照考试的文章已不是第一次出现在美国主流媒体上。

今年4月，《华尔街时报》也刊登过一篇在北京考驾照的亲历文章。

作者艾伦·保罗在文章中感慨：在中国行路难，考驾照更难，“唯一能和在中国险象环生的道路上开车相提并论的历险就是──得到一本允许上路的驾照。

”文化的差异，语言的隔阂，道路情况的异同，即使是一个老司机，刚到人生地不熟的外国考驾照，相信不自然地都会有一点畏难情绪。

美国外交官有点挫折也正常，用中国外交官李建华同样调侃《华盛顿邮报》记者的话说，中国绝大多数学车人也能通过理论考试，美国人可能学习得还不够。

从这两篇小文章出发，我也可以感觉到，美国人对中国的驾照考试的揶揄，其中也不乏自以为是的俯视心态——我在美国都开了那么多年车，到中国拿个驾照还不是小菜一碟；但不曾想，中国特色就不一样，驾照考试还比较“另类”，这让习惯了美国汽车文化的外交官们叫苦不迭了。

汽车毕竟是从美国走向世界的，行车规则，车辆配置，世界上大同小异，除了英国日本等少数国家要求靠左行驶外。

看看先行者——美国的驾照考试，或许也有值得我们思考的地方。

先讲理论考试。

美国的驾照理论题目大多是日常最常见的问题，比如，哪些地方不能停车，遇到警车有哪些注意事项。

当然，也有一些比较“刁钻”一点的问题，例如，住宅区最高限速多少，州际公路最高限速多少，雨雪天必须最高速要降多少。

从美国人的角度看中国净水现状作者：庄园来源：《装修情报》2013年第09期我国水资源稀缺，人均水资源占有量只有世界人均水平的1/4，经济的高速发展也带来水污染日益严重的问题。

据相关资料显示，目前我国90%的水厂无法对自来水中化学污染，诸如重金属及其他有害毒素进行深度处理。

随着人们生活水平的提高和对饮用水健康程度的关注，净水市场迅速发展，净水器行业在中国市场的前景和潜力不言而喻。

净水器在中国才发展了近十年，新增企业以每年40%的速度呈增长态势，净水行业被誉为“21世纪家电行业最后一块蛋糕”。

就目前中国净水市场的现状，编辑专门采访了美国知名品牌Culligan康丽根中国区的总裁施伟祺（Jim Sweeney，下文中简称Jim），透过他一个美国人的角度，来为大家解析一下中美两国净水产业的异同以及中国净水的现状。

美国的净水现状——普及率高，市场相对平稳编辑_ Jim你好，很高兴见到你。

非常感谢你接受我们的采访。

首先我们想先了解一下美国的净水现状。

请问美国的水源情况怎么样？水污染情况严重吗？Jim_ 世界各地的水污染都是不可避免的，只是程度情况有所不同而已。

和中国相比，美国的国土面积略小一些，但是人口总量却比中国少很多。

所以美国人的生活空间相对中国人来说会大一些。

很多年前，美国政府就开始进行环境控制，预防和治理环境污染，虽然已有成效，但是仍有很大的提升空间。

和中国的水污染环境不同，在美国城市里面的水质比农村的好。

在城市里面，市政供水会采用一些净水的技术，大部分的城市家庭不需要单独的净水产品。

但是，在郊区和农村地区，水污染的状况反而会严重一些，水中会有一些化学元素的残余，家庭户用更需要使用净水产品。

而在中国，农村的水质反而比城市的水质好。

编辑_ 美国政府支持净水产业的发展吗？Jim_ 在美国有一个第三方的非盈利性的行业协会，叫做美国水质协会（Water Quality Association，简写WQA）。

美国人对中国人的工作精神的看法英语作文全文共5篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Work Spirit of Chinese PeopleBy [Your Name]Hiya! My name is [Your Name] and I'm in 5th grade. Today, I want to tell you about what Americans think of how hard Chinese people work. It's really interesting!You see, in America, we hear a lot about China and Chinese people. China is a huge country with over 1 billion people! That's like 4 times more people than in the whole United States. And we hear that Chinese people have a really strong work ethic.Work ethic means how hard you're willing to work and the attitude you have towards your job. Having a good work ethic is really important if you want to be successful.From what I've learned, many Americans believe that Chinese people have an amazing work ethic. They think Chinese people are incredibly hardworking, dedicated, and driven to succeed. Let me give you some examples of what I mean:First of all, Chinese people are just plain hard workers. In China, the work week is usually 6 days instead of 5 like here. And on those 6 days, Chinese employees often work really long hours, like 10 or 12 hours per day! They put in a ton of time and effort at their jobs.Not only that, but Chinese workers are famous for being super diligent and focused when they're on the clock. They don't goof around or get distracted easily. They just put their heads down and power through their tasks until the job is done right. Their commitment is incredible.Another thing that impresses Americans is how motivated and ambitious Chinese people are. They really value career success and being prosperous. Chinese parents push their kids super hard in school so they can get into great universities and land amazing jobs. The pressure is intense!But that pressure helps give Chinese people a fierce drive to excel at whatever they do. They have huge goals and dreams, and they'll work their tails off day and night to make those dreams a reality. Their ambition is through the roof!On top of that, Americans think Chinese people have terrific skills at problem-solving and being resourceful. If there's a roadblock or an obstacle, they find creative ways to pushthrough it. They're willing to put in the brainpower to come up with good solutions. Their ingenuity is really impressive.And let's not forget about being thrifty and financially savvy! Chinese people are famous for being amazing savers and investors. They're careful with their money and they work super hard to build up their wealth over time. That's a smart strategy if you ask me.Now, you might be thinking - wow, that's a lot of positives! Don't Americans see any downsides to how hard Chinese people work? Well, to be totally honest, some Americans do worry that Chinese people put too much emphasis on work over other parts of life.For instance, many are concerned that Chinese workers end up neglecting their families or missing out on enjoying hobbies or personal time. With such crazy work schedules, it can't be easy to have much of a social life or work-life balance.There's also the pressure and stress factor to consider. When you're raised to be that intensely career-driven from a young age, that's got to put a ton of strain and anxiety on a person over time. That level of ambition is awesome, but it also might make it hard to ever feel totally satisfied or successful enough.But overall, the typical American view is that Chinese people have an insanely impressive work spirit that we could all learn a little something from. Their determination, perseverance, and sheer grit in the workplace is truly remarkable and inspiring. Just don't go too overboard and forget to stop and smell the roses sometimes too!Anyways, that's my take on how us Americans see the work ethic of the Chinese people. Whether you agree or not, you've got to admit - the Chinese definitely don't slack off when it comes to putting in the effort! Let me know what you think in the comments.篇2Title: How Americans See the Chinese Work SpiritHey guys! Today I want to talk to you about something really interesting. It's about how people in America see Chinese people when it comes to working hard. I learned about this in school and from my parents, and I think it's pretty cool stuff.Firstly, I think most Americans really respect the Chinese work ethic. They see Chinese people as being super dedicated to their jobs and always putting in tons of effort. Like, you'll rarely find a Chinese person slacking off or trying to cut corners at work.In America, some people are known for trying to do the minimum amount of effort to get by. But with Chinese people, it's the total opposite!My dad told me about when he visited China for a business trip a few years ago. He said he was blown away by how hard everyone worked, even the staff at the hotel he stayed at. The cleaning crew would be scrubbing the floors at 6am and the front desk people were always on their toes, ready to help with anything. He said it made the hotels in America seem kind of lazy in comparison!I think part of the reason Chinese people have such a strong work ethic is because of the culture's deep respect for hard work. Like, from a very young age, Chinese kids are taught that studying hard and working diligently is extremely important for being successful later in life. My Chinese friend Jason told me his parents are always stressing about getting good grades and putting in 100% effort at school. Slacking isn't really an option for him.Another thing I've noticed is that Americans seem to think Chinese people are really good at staying focused for long periods of time. My teacher Mrs. Davis actually mentioned this in class once. She said the Chinese "tend to exhibit tremendouspowers of concentration" when working on challenging tasks. I thought that was such a cool way to put it!I can see what she means though. Think about kids from China who compete in math competitions and stuff. Those contests can go on for hours and hours of intense problem solving. But the Chinese students just powder through it all with extreme focus and determination. It's pretty mind-blowing if you ask me!I remember reading about this one company in China that makes chemicals or something. Anyways, the interesting thing was that during busy periods, the workers would regularly pull all-nighters at the factory to make sure orders got completed on time. Can you imagine doing an all-night work shift?! I can barely stay awake past 10pm. But that's just how hard core the Chinese work ethic can be.Of course, Americans don't ALWAYS have positive things to say. Some people think the Chinese take this work ethic stuff too far. Like, there's a stereotype that Chinese people are total workaholics who prioritize their jobs over everything else in life - family, health, hobbies etc. My uncle Rick actually mentioned this one time, saying he felt bad for Chinese people because they get "trapped in the blackhole of endless work hours."He reckons part of the reason for this is because Chinese companies can be really demanding and make employees do crazy amounts of overtime. I've definitely heard stories of people working insane 70 or 80 hour weeks at Chinese companies, with hardly any work-life balance. That's the extreme end of things for sure.But overall, I'd say Americans have a ton of respect and admiration for the strong work ethic that Chinese people are known for. There's a common view that Chinese folks are able to outwork and outcompete a lot of other nationalities when it comes to intense jobs and high-pressure roles. My dad likes to say "The Chinese willpower for work is second to none!"Personally, I think it's a good quality to have in general. I mean, imagine if everyone had laser-focus and an endless drive to work hard? Our schools, businesses and economy would probably be so much better off. Though taking things too far isn't healthy either - you need balance in life too.Anyways, those are some of the key perspectives I've picked up on how Americans view the Chinese work spirit. It's pretty fascinating stuff when you start thinking about the cultural differences around work ethic. Who knows, maybe I'll grow up to be a hard charger at work just like many Chinese people! ThoughI may need to work on my stamina first...I'm getting tired just thinking about those all-nighters!篇3How Americans See Chinese People's Hard WorkHi there! My name is Emma and I'm a 4th grader. Today I want to tell you about what Americans think of how hard Chinese people work. My dad's friend Mr. Wang is from China and he works really hard at his job. I've noticed Americans say lots of things about it.First of all, American grown-ups are really impressed by how many hours Chinese workers put in. Mr. Wang often works 12 hours a day or more! He gets to the office super early and leaves really late. My dad says Americans used to do that in the old days when our country was building its economy. But now most Americans try to have more balanced schedules with just 8 hour days. Americans think it's amazing how Chinese folks will stay at work until the job is done, no matter how late it gets.Another thing is, Americans are blown away by how Chinese employees don't take many vacations or sick days off. Mr. Wang only takes a week off for Chinese New Year. My mom gets 3 weeks paid vacation plus holidays at her job. When Mr. Wang'skid was sick, he still came into the office! Americans think Chinese workers are extremely dedicated to never missing work.Also, Americans say the Chinese have an insane work ethic when it comes to studying and self-improvement. Mr. Wang is always taking online classes at night to get better at his job. He reads tons of books about business, economics and programming. My dad's friend jokes that if you combined all the hours they spend working and studying, Chinese people are awake for 20 hours a day! Americans think that drive to constantly be learning is incredibly admirable.However, some Americans do criticize certain things about the Chinese work mentality. They say it's too extreme and people shouldn't have to sacrifice all their free time like that. My dad says it's not healthy or beneficial to be so overworked with no work-life balance. He thinks employees will get burned out if they never take breaks.Additionally, some Americans feel the obsession with working nonstop is an unhealthy cultural expectation in China. They say it stems from poverty mindsets left over from when the country was very poor. So now some Chinese corporations expect employees to prove their worth by grinding around theclock. My parents say that's unfair and companies should offer more reasonable hours.But overall, most Americans have a ton of respect for the Chinese work ethic. They see it as a big reason why the economy and technology sectors in China have grown so rapidly. Americans are amazed by the long hours, non-stop hustle, and continuous self-improvement demonstrated by many Chinese workers.Mr. Wang says in China there's an old saying: "A man fears admitting inadequacy, so he keeps raising his level." That means Chinese people feel they have to keep working harder and studying more to avoid failure. My dad says Americans could definitely learn from that drive and willpower when it comes to achieving their goals.So in summary, Americans greatly admire how hard working and self-motivated Chinese people are. At the same time, some disagree with the extreme always-on work lifestyle. But one thing's for sure - witnessing the incredible determination of Chinese employees inspires Americans to step up their own work ethic as well! Thanks for reading my essay!篇4American Views on the Chinese Work EthicHiya! My name is Timmy and I'm going to tell you all about what Americans think of how hard Chinese people work. This is for my English class essay.First off, Americans really respect and admire the crazy strong work ethic of people from China. We think Chinese workers are some of the hardest working folks on the planet! My dad always says, "Those Chinese sure know how to put in a hard day's labor." He's impressed by how early they get to the office and how late they stay. He says they eat lunch at their desks instead of goofing off for an hour like some people at his company.My aunt went on a business trip to Shanghai last year. She told me that the employees at the Chinese companies she visited wouldn't even take bathroom breaks so they could keep on working nonstop. Can you imagine?! I have to go pee like every couple hours. I don't know how they do it. Aunt Martha said it's pretty normal over there for people to work 12 or 14 hour days, 6 or even 7 days a week! That's insane. Mom and dad would ground me for a month if I worked that much. I barely have time for videogames after all my homework as it is.There's a guy in my class, Xiaoming, who's Chinese. His dad owns a restaurant and works crazy long hours, even on holidays. Last Chinese New Year, Mr. Lin had Xiaoming come help out at the restaurant all day because it was so busy. No way I'd give up my whole spring break like that! Xiaoming says his dad's at the restaurant from 6am until after midnight most nights. I don't know where he gets the energy. My dad's a business analyst and he comes home at 6pm on the dot every night, no matter what.I think one reason Chinese people work such crazy hours is because of overcrowding and crazy competition over there. China is so jam-packed with people, there's like a billion or more of them! So if you want to get ahead and make money to support your family, you really have to go the extra mile and outwork everybody else. My teacher Mrs. Stevenson says that's the legacy of ancient Chinese teachings about hard work, perseverance, and sacrifice. Confucius and those guys basically wrote the book on gaman which means grinning and bearing it no matter how tough things get.From what I can tell, Americans have a very different attitude towards work-life balance than the Chinese do. Here in the USA, folks really value having plenty of free time to pursue hobbies, be with family, watch TV, that kind of thing. There's no way my dadwould cancel our summer vacation road trip just to put in overtime at the office. He always says that making memories with his kids is more important than making an extra buck. A lot of companies here really emphasize work-life balance to keep their employees happy and rested. Like at my mom's office, they actually have "Mandatory Fun Nights" to force everyone to go home at 6pm on Fridays.But in China, it seems like everything revolves around working as hard as you can to get ahead economically. Maybe that's because hundreds of millions of people over there used to be really poor farmers. My grandpa says China was a total poverty basket-case just a few decades ago. So I bet the modern Chinese people have that hard-scrabble,pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps mentality burned deep into their culture from years of struggle and hardship.Another factor is probably that in China's brand ofpyoonji-ist economics, private companies don't have as many rules and regulations to follow. So they can pretty much work people to the bone without the government looking over their shoulders as much. In America, we have strict labor laws that ban stuff like crazy overtime, sweatshops, and hiring little kids. But Iguess China's more of a Wild West when it comes to business practices.I'm not saying I agree with making people work inhumane hours or anything. But you have to admit the Chinese get an awful lot accomplished through sheer grit and determination. Thanks to their exceptional work ethic, China is now aworld-beater at manufacturing, technology, and tons of other industries. Just look at how they built massive modern cities like Shanghai and Beijing in just a couple decades. Or all the big companies like Alibaba that came from nowhere to dominate globally. You can't deny their people's endless hustle and dedication to self-improvement has paid off bigtime.So that's the American perspective on Chinese workaholics, as I understand it. We're in awe of their ability to outwork almost anybody through stamina and perseverance. Chasing the Almighty Dollar and economic success is basically an obsession over there, which both impresses us and makes us glad we have more of a work-to-live mentality here in the USA. Either way, there's a ton of respect for the Chinese work ethic, even if it seems a bit excessive and unbalanced to our Western eyes.Okay, I'd better wrap this up before Mrs. Stevenson yells at me for passing the word limit again! I know this essay wasn'tperfect, but I tried my hardest...just like those hard-charging folks in China always do. Thanks for reading, and I'll see you on the _____!篇5The Work Ethic of the Chinese People From an American ViewHave you ever wondered what people from other countries think about people from China? Well, I'm an American kid and I'm going to tell you what I think Americans believe about how hard Chinese people work. Get ready for some interesting ideas!First off, I think most Americans are pretty impressed by how hard Chinese people seem to work. We hear stories about students in China studying super long hours and doing lots of homework. My parents are always telling me how Chinese kids have way more schoolwork than I do. They say Chinese students take extra classes at night and on weekends too! That sounds like a lot to me.My dad has been to China for work and he says you can see how dedicated Chinese workers are. He tells me that in the big cities, people work really long days and weeks at their jobs. He said in some offices and factories, people will even sleep at theirdesks or workstations sometimes because they work such late nights. I'm not sure I could ever work that hard!I've also heard that a lot of Chinese families have this saying about working hard. Something like "chi ku" which means you have to go through bitterness to get success. My friends who are Chinese tell me their parents are always pushing them to study and work really hard so they can have good jobs later. The parents believe you can't just goof off – you have to sweat and struggle now so your life will be better in the future. That's a pretty tough way to live if you ask me!Another thing I notice is that a lot of American businesses seem to want to hire people from China to work for them. My aunt works at a big tech company, and she says they are always looking for Chinese engineers and programmers because they have a reputation for being so hard-working and smart. She said companies know Chinese workers will stay late, skip vacations, and really grind until they finish important projects. I guess that work ethic is pretty valuable to a lot of companies.Of course, not every single person from China is a total workaholic either. I'm sure there are some Chinese people who are lazy or don't care about working hard. But in general, I think a lot of Americans believe Chinese culture really values effort,discipline and not wasting time. Whenever I slack off on my homework, my dad kind of jokes that I should be more like the Chinese kids who never goof off when it comes to school and studying.There are probably a few reasons why Americans think Chinese people work with such crazy effort. The first is that China is still a developing country in some ways, so Chinese people have to hustle and grind to get opportunities to make money and have a good life. My teacher told us that many people in China grew up pretty poor not too long ago, so they had to workiculously hard just to escape poverty and make their lives better than their parents had it. So hard work and not giving up is like a value that got passed down from grandparents to parents to kids today.Another reason is that there are just SO many people in China - like 1.4 billion people or something! That's way more than any other country on Earth. With that many people, there is probably a ton of competition for good jobs, good schools, and making money. If you don't outwork and outstudy the next person, someone else will take the opportunity you wanted. So China is like this ultra-competitive environment where you have to be hungry and ambitious to stand out and get ahead in life. Atleast that's how many Americans understand the situation in China.Lastly, I think some Americans believe that the Chinese government pushes citizens to work really hard too. Since China is a communist country still in some ways, the government controls a lot and wants its people to obey and be productive. My dad said in schools, kids get taught from a young age to put their efforts into working and building the wealth of China as a country. And in jobs, the Chinese companies are often owned by the government too, so everyone needs to follow the rules about working as hard as possible. While Americans get vacations and can be a bit lazier sometimes, Chinese people face pressure from authorities to devote themselves fully to their work.Those are some of the main reasons I think Americans tend to believe Chinese people are extremely hard workers with amazing work ethics. To be honest though, I'm not sure I agree with it 100%. I've met some Chinese kids at my school who seem pretty normal and not that much more disciplined than me! And I've also heard that young people in China today are starting to live more relaxed lifestyles and don't want the same grindy lives as their parents had. Maybe the work culture is shifting a bit over there.Either way, Chinese people's dedication and drive when it comes to work is definitely noticed and admired by a lot of Americans. We probably wouldn't mind learning a thing or two about that level of effort and discipline! At the same time, we cherish our free time and hobbies too. I guess it's all about finding a balance between working hard and still having fun in life. But you can't deny that the work ethic in China is pretty legendary from an outside perspective. Those are just my thoughts as an American kid! Let me know what you think.。

⽼外爱娶中国⼥⼈的5⼤理由⼀、⽼外认为中国⼥⼈很传统 美国男⼈认为中国⼥⼈有⼀种从始⽽终的思想，让太开放的美国男⼈有⼀种安全的感觉，总认为中国⼥⼈都是那种很传统很保守的贤妻良母型的⼥⼈，不会轻易离婚，相对于对争取个性解放、事业性强、敢于追求的西⽅⼥性，中国⼥⼈深得很多⽼外的喜欢。

⼆、⽼外越来越多的接受中国⼥⼈ 对许多美国男⼈来说，能娶到中国⽼婆是件⼗分⾃豪的事情，跟捞到宝似的，在亲朋好友⾯前⼀副幸运加幸福的神情。

这就如同中国男⼈娶洋妞⼀样会觉得有⾯⼦的⼼理⼀样。

三、中国⼥⼈⾝材娇⼩，看不出年龄 美国男⼈觉得认为她们娇⼩，⼩巧玲珑，他们永远也搞不清楚中国⼥⼈的真实年龄，我发现他们在判断中国⼥⼈年龄时，往往会⽐实际年龄年轻⼗多岁。

中国⼥⼈⼩⼩的个⼦在⽜⾼马⼤的⽼外⾯前更加⼩鸟依⼈，温柔可爱，通过深圳中美⼼⼼国际婚恋⽹嫁给美国的李燕对此深有感悟，美国⽼公虽然是严肃的财务部经理，但⼀回家却经常夸她娇⼩，会做饭，温柔体贴，笑容迷⼈，也许东⽅⼥性的这些“特点”更能吸引他们。

四、剩⼥本⾝素质⾼，条件也不错 这些剩⼥，既然是“⾼学历、⾼收⼊、⾼智商”三⾼，受过美式教育、语⾔训练和西⽅⽂化熏陶，有着很强的专业能⼒，本⾝素质不错，条件当然不错，有经历有阅历，有魅⼒，⼥⼈中的精品，那点三⾼，吓不了从⼩就⾃信的⽼外们，在他们眼⾥更欣赏⾃信的⼥⼈， 五、⽼外求新求异的个性让他们更喜欢新⽣事物 ⽼外性格喜欢新奇，⽆拘⽆束，求新求异的个性，更能接受新鲜事物，追求不⼀样，审美观不太⼀样，在国⼈眼⾥也许是丑⼥，但在⽼外眼⾥也许是⼤美⼥。

⽪肤黄黄，眼睛⼩⼩，年龄更不是问题，⽼外才不计较呢，这些都为剩⼥提供了得意⾃信的舞台 越来越搞不懂中国到底怎么了，男⼈嫌国内没有合适的⽼婆，于是跑去越南众⾥寻她千百⾥；⼥⼈觉得在国内找不到好男⼈，于是横渡重洋，⼤搞对外出⼝。

⽽另⼀边，越南⼥⼈⼤赞中国男⼈是好丈夫，美国男⼈把中国⼥⼈当成了宝。

巴顿对中国志愿军的评价第五次战役结束后，美骑一师师长，曾任二战时期巴顿元帅作出了评价：“我们无法理解他们是怎么从那人类无法生存的山中过来的，他们就像感觉不到死亡，顶着我们的炮火拿枪射击和向前冲锋，我的军队还没有施展开就被他们冲散了，甚至在第8军团被围后我一直在考虑要不要放弃他们，而那时我们的敌人正在穿插我们进行合围，他们是我遇见过最难缠的敌人。

”朝鲜战争之前，美国对中国共产党领导下的武装力量的印象，停留在抗战时期在山沟沟里拿着烧火棍似的汉阳造，由穿着土灰色的破衣烂衫的无数东方年轻人组织起来的散兵游勇。

在趾高气扬的美国人眼里，那根本算不上一支真正意义上的正规军队，他们没有机械化军队的认知，没有现代化战争的概念，没有陆海空协同作战的意识。

充其量也就是一支颇具规模类似于德州荒漠上打家劫舍的牛仔式土匪。

虽然在国内战争中打败了国民党蒋介石的正规武装，那也是因为中国国内民意政治风气环境影响下的结局，美国人一直认为蒋介石的失败绝不是什么单纯的军事失败，打败他的是他们已经腐朽透顶的国民党政府自己。

如果共产党的对手换成美国军队，结局一定会是另一个样子。

美国人的自信不是没有道理，从第一次世界大战到刚刚结束不久的第二次世界大战，战胜国的荣耀和世界头号强国的国际位置让美国人早就养成了俯瞰全球的傲慢。

当中国人民志愿军出兵朝鲜参战时，这种傲慢在经历了三次战役后就已荡然无存。

朝鲜战争爆发后，朝鲜人民军以迅雷不及掩耳之势攻克韩国多个城市，各国都在观察着这场战争，就在朝鲜即将统一半岛的时候，以美国为首的联合国军在仁川登陆，包夹了南下的朝鲜人民军。

韩军开始反攻，很快炮火奔向了38线北侧，连中国的边境都受到了影响，唇亡齿寒的道理大家都懂，中共中央决定出兵朝鲜，打击美帝国主义侵略者。

志愿军入朝的消息非常保密，刚开始美国人并不相信，也比较轻视中国人民志愿军的战斗力，毕竟在军事装备这一块，美国可以说是世界第一。

志愿军入朝的第一次大型战役就是云山战役，镇守云山的是美军骑兵第一师的一个团，了解过美国军事的小伙伴对这个番号不会陌生，他是美国的王牌军队，是独立战争时期华盛顿亲自组建的军队，两次世界大战都有它的身影，且未尝过一败。

比较文学探究中国元素在美剧中的运用——以《老友记》为例文/宋秋香 郑珊珊 朱培源摘要：随着中国在国际上的知名度和影响力不断增大，国际社会越来越重视中国这个偌大的市场，这体现在美剧中中国元素被广泛地运用。

以《老友记》这部风靡全球的情景喜剧为例，《老友记》流行时期为上世纪末到本世纪初，那时中美关系处于向上阶段，中国元素受到国外各行各业的青睐，风靡一时。

因此中国元素在剧中出现的频率极高，正是这些极具特色的，代表独特色彩的中国形象的生动演绎无形中推动了《老友记》的成功，打开了中国市场。

关键词：老友记；中国元素；运用《老友记》首播于1994年9月，于2004年5月大结局，故事分为十季，共236集。

该剧描述了整个美国社会从九十年代到新世纪初的风土人情，包括风俗、文化、日常、人际关系等诸多方面；提供了人们在生活中所能遇到的各种问题的解决方案，包括工作事业，亲情，友情，和爱情等诸多方面的真理。

该剧以六位好友(三男三女)之间的亲情、友情、爱情穿起了整个故事的主线，发生在六名主角之间的嬉笑怒骂都是当时美国年轻人生活状态的写照。

在不断的笑声中，这部剧让我们看到了另一种和我们一样的，普通的生活，它就是我们日常生活的一面镜子，其真实感牵动着每一位观众的心。

《老友记》更向我们传达了许多值得推崇和追求的世界观，人生观和价值观，比如对于亲情、爱情、友情和人生态度上的看法都深深地吸引着我们。

首先对于亲情，该剧传达的是要善待亲情，尊重亲人的决定。

每个家庭都有各自的问题，家家都有本难念的经，我们不能挑选自己的家人，因此要接受他们的不完美，尊重和理解他们。

对于友情，该剧传达的是要珍惜友情、相互信任、宽容和支持，因为友情是很容易建立起来，也很容易破灭的。

剧中六位主角的友情之所以牢靠，是因为他们懂得朋友相处的最高原则：信任、宽容和支持。

对于爱情，该剧传达的是要珍惜我们自己选择的那个相伴一生的人，即使经历许多挫折，我们永远不会放弃彼此，最终会相互扶持，一直走下去。
