This time, the American discussion was completely translated into Chinese by Dai Wen, a Ph.D. who studies Ma Yi and Sheyi, and Tao Chengqi asked directly.
As for our Director Tao, in addition to firmly answering "I can swim, and my skills are very good," Tao Chengqi could not say anything to himself about whether it was beyond his ability or what if he encountered danger.
The discussion between the two parties has now entered a climax. Because the Chinese official asked back: "What will you Americans do when you encounter information like Xiaocong Bridge falling into the water?"
"We will first call the police and call the water rescue team; if we are sure that we are not in danger, we can also jump off the bridge to save others!" the American replied confidently.
"Call the police? Should the police take care of this matter?" There was also discussion in China. In China, the police don't care about this matter. Of course, if there is someone committing murder or fighting on the street, the police will
There is some control, but the police in China will not care about this matter. Of course, if the police are at the scene, they will also care about it. However, if the police are called, the child will already be in the water when the police arrive.
Drowned?
Therefore, a Chinese writer named Gao asked again: "If this is the case, are you Americans too indifferent?"
Yes, you Americans are too indifferent, right? Others echoed. Obviously, they think the way the Americans handle this is wrong.
In response to the Chinese people's rhetorical questions, the Americans could not find a more powerful way to counterattack, because in their view, it is natural to handle this question. This question is actually because the Americans did not find good materials when asking the question, but Zhao Wou-ki did
Feeling that the American approach was more scientific, he decided to guide the Americans and let American youth win the debate on this issue. At the same time, it also gave Chinese youth some thought.
However, just when Zao Wuji was about to ask the American people, a beautiful woman named Avril from the American side raised a question: "What would you Chinese people do if you encountered someone murdering someone with a knife on the street?"
"Smart!" Zhao Wuji sighed. This question is worthy of debate because the "child fell into the water" question just now is too easily affected by the objective environment. Moreover, for most people who can swim,
As long as there is no sudden flood, there is generally not much danger. Under such objective conditions, the United States' handling opinions are indeed a bit "cold".
"We will rush forward to stop the gangsters!" the Chinese side replied almost in unison. Zhao Wuji knew that the Chinese youth seemed to have been fooled on this issue.
Sure enough, after hearing the English translation, Avril immediately asked: "Aren't you all afraid of death?"
"Not afraid!" came the same reply again.
It's over, it's over! Zhao Wuji lamented in his heart. This answer seemed to reveal the courage of the Chinese people, but it also revealed the weakness of the Chinese youth who love to tell lies, are prone to impulsiveness, and do not have independent thinking.
Avril cleverly grasped the word "not afraid" of Chinese youth. She continued to make a fuss: "Have you never thought about the consequences of being killed by gangsters? Haven't you ever thought about it, even if you subdue the gangsters, you will not be afraid."
Afraid of revenge from the gangster’s accomplices?”
What are the consequences of being killed by a gangster? Revenge from the gangster's accomplices? At this time, even those who say "not afraid" will think about it for a while.
Fortunately, another guy named Kurt immediately sublimated the problem: "When encountering such a situation in the United States, we Americans usually call the police. Why don't you Chinese people go to the police when you encounter such a problem?
The police prefer to solve it themselves? You know, the police are professionally trained after all. They are definitely more professional in rescuing children who have fallen into the water and stopping crimes. Don't you Chinese people not like the police, or do you have no police? "
Some people say that the United States is a country that advocates individual heroism, while China is a country that advocates collective heroism. But in terms of the performance of specific affairs, it seems that the Chinese people have a heroic complex. Of course, soon, individuals like China
Heroism will withdraw from the stage of history, and will be replaced by the "indifference" of the whole people, who will not save anyone even if they die!
Finally, when asked by Americans whether Chinese youth like the police, the Chinese did not give an answer that was recognized by the United States. This question also raised questions for Zhao Wuji.
It wasn't until he was on the plane back home that Zao Wuki found an answer. The United States has been under the rule of law since its founding. Later, with the development of society, various social security systems such as those related to the police
Social security has been continuously strengthened, and the police in the United States, like the police in Hong Kong, have reasonable layout of police stations. After calling the police, the police are dispatched very quickly. Therefore, Americans or people in similar developed countries are struggling to save themselves or "
In terms of "police and rescue", it is generally advocated to choose the latter.
China is obviously weak in this regard. In the thousands of years of independent society, yamen and policemen, who are similar to the police, stand on the opposite side of the people most of the time. Therefore, the people will not choose unless they have absolutely no choice.
This kind of official power protects their own interests. They choose the method of self-rescue. If a disaster has occurred, they will also choose the method of "revenge".
In today's China, although the overall quality of the police force is not bad, incidents of collusion between police and gangsters have occurred. Moreover, due to the lack of equipment and personnel, the speed of police dispatch cannot be compared with that of the United States and other countries. In later generations, the police
Not to mention, the performance is infinitely worse.
Because of this, China has formed a cultural tradition of "asking for the police rather than asking for yourself" and "asking for others rather than asking for yourself"; and the United States has had a good system since the founding of the country, so the "
The rational tradition of "it is better to seek help from yourself than from the police".
Of course, in the United States, there is another important phenomenon, that is, if a gangster breaks into a house with a gun, robs or kills someone, the owner can fight back and shoot. In other words, the law of the United States determines that Americans must
Home, that is, your own private space, is safe. Even the police cannot open the door and enter at will. But in China, you cannot find this sense of security whether in public or private space.
When young people sit together, even if they don't understand the language, they will be interested in a common issue, which is the relationship between men and women.
"I would like to ask Miss Duan Xiwen, does the relationship between men and women in China still talk about whether a man or a woman is close to each other?" Because Dai Wen understands Chinese, he is very active in asking questions, and after asking questions loudly, he will tell his companions in English.
"Zhao Wuji, what does it mean that men and women cannot be intimate with each other?" Duan Xiwen turned around and asked Zhao Wuji after hearing Dai Wen's words.
"The first word to give means to grant or give; the second word to receive means to accept; and to kiss means to have personal contact. The original meaning of this sentence is that men and women cannot have personal contact when giving or receiving gifts from each other."
Zhao Wuji's answer is very mechanical and dull, but also very accurate. In fact, although this "men and women are not intimate with each other" sounds like the so-called feudal ethics, this sentence also has practical significance. The interaction between men and women does need to
Certain etiquette and etiquette should not lead to the situation of "one-night stands" in later generations. Even though Zao Wou-ki has had relationships with three women, he still believes that ancient etiquette has its own truth.
Expressed in modern language, the relationship between men and women giving and receiving should be as follows: Expressing feelings or admiration between men and women should not be so direct, but be more tactful and subtle, whether it is the party giving the object or the party receiving the token.
You should maintain a certain amount of etiquette, respect the other person, and don't make things difficult for the other person or embarrass yourself. If the other person doesn't mean that to you, don't say it to your face and make it difficult for you to step down. Only in this way can you be polite.
In this sense, it is indeed the most important etiquette requirement for men and women to interact with each other.
However, Duan Xiwen didn't even know the original meaning of the sentence "men and women are not intimate with each other". Therefore, her answer must not be in this state. Without this state, there are only two answers, one is yes,
One is no. But whether it is yes or no, it is not a good answer. After all, "men and women are not intimate with each other" is also a relatively important content in traditional Chinese culture.
"Mr. Devin, which year of the almanac are you reading? Today's Chinese youth advocate freedom of love and marriage. On this point, they are the same as you American youth."
Duan Xiwen's answer seemed very good, and even Ambassador Gongsun Yan kept nodding. However, in Zhao Wuji's view, this answer is actually not very good, because it separates the relationship between tradition and the present, and actually negates the relationship between tradition and the present.
of Chinese and traditional culture.
Zhao Wuji's guess was very correct, because Dai Wen immediately asked: "So, some phenomena related to the relationship between men and women in ancient China, such as words such as respecting each other as guests, nurturing each other, relying on each other, growing old together, etc., do not exist now?"
"These definitely still exist. For example, growing old together, we also give blessings like this when others get married." Duan Xiwen replied. However, there was obviously some unconfidence in his tone.
"Dear friends from Huaxia, I recently read a book on Xiexia culture. For example, when Huaxia talked about the etiquette of ancient women, it talked about two important words: three obediences and four virtues, three cardinal guides and five constant virtues. However, there was no such thing in the book I read.
Is there any friend who can help me explain the explanation of these two words?" Dai Wenzhuang asked sincerely.
Zhao Wuji felt that the question Dai Wen asked might not be as simple as the question itself, but had other implications. However, when Zhao Wuji wanted to think about the meaning of Dai Wen's question, Duan Xiwen impulsively said: "What are the three obediences and four virtues?
The Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Permanent Constitutions, our China is now a new society, and the dregs of this rustic society have long since ceased to exist!"
"Mr. Dai Wen, the question you just asked is indeed from ancient China. The young people of our generation do not learn these things. It is useless to learn these things." Li Chengyun, who had been silent, also seized the opportunity.
Expressed his own point of view. (To be continued.,,,. Mobile phone users please go to read
