Passage 2
In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. 在美国，一大清早给人打电话是不符合习俗的。 If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. 如果一大早上你给他打电话，而他正在刮胡子或者正在吃早饭，这个时间段的电话说明事情很重要，需要马上关注。The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11: 过了晚上11点的电话也有同样的意思。 If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life or death. 如果某人在睡觉时间接到电话，他会认为这是生死攸关的事情。The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. 打电话时间的选择能传达电话内容的重要性。In social life, time plays a very important part. 在社会生活中，时间的作用是很大的。 In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. 在美国，晚宴聚会邀请只在聚会开始前三四天才发出，受邀客人往往会觉得自己没有被真正看重。But it is not true in all countries. 但不是所有的国家都是这样。In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a dat
e more than a week away tend to be forgotten. 在世界其他地区，提前太多时间预约被认为是很愚蠢的，因为提前一周以上的邀约（计划）往往会被忘记。The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. 时间的概念在不同的国家有不同的意思。Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. 所以，不同文化的人对时间不同的理解，往往会产生误会。Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. 例如，美国人生活中十分看重守时。 If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. 如果人们不守时，那么其他人会认为他们没有礼貌或者不够负责任。In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. 在美国，没有人打算让生意伙伴白白等一个小时， 这是非常不礼貌的。A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. 迟到了5分钟的一个人，会简单的解释一下，尽管可能他不用说完解释。(260 words)
