Recently, an article about a high-income white-collar mother unable to afford her child"s summer camp tuition has gone viral in China.

解析：我很高兴应邀与各位交流一下不同文化所形成的交际模式。作为一名在中国教学的美国人，我的报
告基于我个人的经历和体会。
来自不同文化背景的人们往往都认为自己的行为方式是“正常的”。但涉及到说话方式时，有些在本族人
看来很自然的话语却被外族人视为荒诞，甚至会引起误解。
引发困惑的交际模式集中反映在间接话语上。虽然中美两国人都会使用间接话语，但是如何使用间接话语
模式取决于诸多因素。
语境对于理解间接话语是至关重要的，例如，说话者在社会上的经济地位及工作职务，说话者的出生地及
长居地，说话者的自我定位及他人关系中的定位。 [听力原文]
