中美六大文化差异 出国必看
1 隐私中国人和美国人对隐私有着不同的理解。中国人总能大肆谈论年龄、收入、婚姻状况等话题，这点在美国人看来是十分不可思议的。
Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as Americans do. They talk about topics such as ages, income or marital status, which Americans think is annoying and intrusive.
2 家庭
在中国，老一辈普遍受到尊重，年轻一辈则被加以呵护。而在美国，一个家庭总以培养子女的独立人格为目标，尤其是对孩子。与中国不一样，美国人很少和已经成年的孩子住在一起。
In China, elders are traditionally treated with enormous respect and dignity while the young are cherished and nurtured. In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children. Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children.
3 朋友
中国人对朋友的定义有着特别的含义。那种只是一起出去逛逛的不能称作朋友，只有那种可以陪伴你一辈子、愿意随时挺身而出帮助你的人才是真正的朋友。而美国人对朋友的定义则比较随意，对他们而言，有工作上的朋友，一起玩的朋友，在学校的朋友，甚至一起喝酒的朋友等各种各样的朋友。
Chinese people have different meanings to define friends. Just hanging out together time to time is not friendship. Friendship means lifelong friends who feel deeply obligated to give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.

4 钱
众所周知的是中国人喜欢存钱，在消费方面普遍比较保守。而美国人则完全不同，很少有家庭为了教育、亦或是那些难以预料的突发状况而存钱。
As is well known, the Chinese like to save. They are always conservative when they are planning to spend money. It is different in the USA, where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese counterparts.
5 教育
中国人非常重视教育和工作，而美国人则把更多精力放在品格的培养上。
Chinese people value education and career more than Americans, who in turn put more emphasis on good character and faith.
6 集体主义和个人主义
一般来说，中国人注重团体，而美国人注重个体。在美国，如果你取得了什么成就，那是因为你很棒。而在中国取得成就，则是团队、家庭或者公司的功劳，你所做的一切都是为了贡献给更大的团体。
Basically China values the community and the US values the individual. If you achieve something in the US, it's because you were great. While in China, if you achieve something in China it's because the team, or family, or company is great. Everything you do gets attributed to the greater whole, while in America individual merits are celebrated.
