Fun time: What’s wrong with Bob?
A: Hi, Bob. Did you have a good time at Zhang’s birthday party?
B: Oh, yes. But I was a bit unhappy about the way they treated my
present. I gave Zhang the latest tapes from the U.K. as a birthday
present when I got inside the door and what do you think
happened?
A: What?
B: Nothing. They only said thank you, but then just put them away
in a corner. I really didn’t know why. Didn’t they like them?
A: Oh, That’s misunderstanding. In the west, it’s regarded as polite to open
gifts as soon as they are given to express appreciation(感谢）. But in China, if you did that, you might be thought greedy (贪婪的). So Chinese people didn’t open the gifts until the visitors have left.
Thank you for listening!
