Or, “Let’s stop playing games and get to the point.” These and many other phrases show the Americans’ idea that people should clearly state what they think and what they want. Americans tend to believe that disagreements are best settled by means of long discussions among the people involved. If I dislike something you are doing, I should tell you about it directly so you will know, clearly and from me personally, how I feel about it. Bringing in other people to solve the problem is regarded as somewhat strange. And the former will be looked upon as one who is not brave enough to speak directly to someone else. Americans will often speak openly and directly to others about things they dislike. They will try to do so in a manner they call “constructive”, that is, a manner which the other person will not find offensive or unacceptable. If they do not speak openly about what is in their minds, they will often express their meanings in nonverbal (非语言的) ways (without words, but through facial expressions, body positions and gestures). Americans are not taught that they should mask their feelings as people in many Asian countries are. Their words, the tone of their voices or their facial expressions will usually reveal when they are feeling angry, unhappy, confused, or happy and satisfied. 1.
