But in America, you should not worry about it, everybody will thumb up to you if you get good benefit by your hard work. Its more easy and open to deal with American, but its so hard to deal with some Chinese guys.B: Hmmm, sometimes....A: Second in China, if you are working hard, you will be jealous in most times. They will talk about your in the back, and maybe doubt what you want. Its seldom happening in America or other Western country.B: Well, its....A: Okay, Ancient China is the most beautiful and powerful country in the world, I think even today the Western will not get that culture in mind. (ring) Sorry, I get a call, see you later.B: See you.. A: oh! My God! Fancy meeting you here. A: 哦，天啊！太巧了，在这儿碰到你。 B: Yes, what a surprise! We havent seen each other almost half a year. B: 是呀！真没想到。我们已有半年没见了吧。 A: Almost. Where are you heading now? A: 差不多。你去哪儿？ B: Oh. Im going to attend a meeting about making Chinese culture various and globalized. B: 哦，我正要参加一个关于使中国文化多样化和全球化的会议。 A: Its so significant. The east and west culture is a comparatively separate value system of their own society, and each style of culture has advantages and dregs. So the two cultures should nourish and benefit each other. A: 这会议很有意义。东西方文化是适应它们各自社会的相对独立的价值体系，每一种文化都有它们自己的优点和不足，因此，两种文化应相互充实。 B: Right. It seems to be quite important to Chinese culture. The two-thousand-year feudual rule made Chinese traditional culture self-closed and isolated, and its so short of democracy and open, which is the chief essence of the west culture. Thr
