一個外國人對于美國的第一印象很有可能是每個人都在壓力下匆匆忙忙,城市里的人總是表現(xiàn)得匆匆

忙忙不知疲倦的，為了盡快做完一件事情，他們會在店里拼命引起店員的注意或者用胳膊肘推操別人.白天

匆忙就餐也是這個國家生活節(jié)奏的一個部分.

person.Ifyoudon't,waiterswillhurryyou.

工作時間被認為是很珍貴的.在一些公共飲食場所，其他人會等在你旁邊等你吃完，這樣大家都可以

得到服務，并趕在規(guī)定的時間內(nèi)回去工作。每個人都會盡快給下一個人騰出地方。如果你不這樣，侍者會催

你會發(fā)現(xiàn)司機也都很匆忙，人們從你身邊匆匆走過。你會錯過一些微笑，簡短的交談和一些與陌生人

的小禮節(jié).不要在意，這是因為他們非常珍惜時間，而且他們認為一旦太注重這些社交禮節(jié)就是浪費時間。

對時間的觀念還會影響到我們對耐心的理解。在美國價值體系中，耐心并不是首要考慮的。我們中的很

多人被稱為“脾氣火爆”.如果我們覺得時間在毫無意義的溜走，既沒有娛樂價值，工作價值，也不在休息，

那就會開始不停地徘徊.那些來自時間觀念不同的國家的人發(fā)現(xiàn)他們在商業(yè)和日常生活中最困難的就是對時

間節(jié)奏的適應.

許多剛到美國來的人都會想念他們在商業(yè)會談中一些開場禮節(jié).舉個例子，他們會想念歡迎你到來而

泡的一杯茶或咖啡這樣的社交彳欣，這在他們國家是常則1/伙.他們會想念在咖啡屋悠閑的會談.而通常，

美國人不會與來訪者在這么悠閑的環(huán)境中進行一些冗長的小會談,對于同事，我們總是看他過去的表現(xiàn)而不

是與他的社交禮儀.因為我們一般都是更注重專業(yè)性的，而不是社交性的，因此我們總是很快進入正題.
