（四）中美不同民族的價值觀

中國是世界上最大的發展中國家，經濟騰飛中的國力日漸強大；而美國則是世界上最大的發達國家，也是當今唯一的超級大國。兩國的文化和歷史有許多不同，值得相互借鑒。以下筆者簡要總結了中美兩個不同民族的價值觀。通過比較，會更直觀地展示兩國價值觀取向的差異，相信對了解中美不同文化和語言差異有所幫助。

Chinese Values VS American Values

Money-wise...（金錢方面）

1) Americans spend more than they have, so they are almost always in debt. Chinese spend less or equal to the amount they have, so they always have money left in the bank for emergency.

2) American kids love to make money by themselves. Chinese kids almost always ask money from their parents.　

3) American parents think attending an expensive but prestigious college is useless. Chinese parents would do anything to send their children to good colleges even if it means that they have to sell everything they own.

Relationship-wise...（人際關系方面）

1) American girls are usually very straightforward when expressing their love. They don't use wicked tricks to get their boyfriends. Chinese girls are subtler in their ways of expressing love. Usually, they wait for the other party involved for signs. Sometimes, Chinese girls would even spread rumors about the girl that the boy likes in order to separate them so that she gets the boy for herself.　

2) American girls don't tolerate any mistakes that their boyfriends make while Chinese girls always suffer silently.　

School-wise… (教育方面)

1) American girls are almost always involved in sports, dancing and singing groups while Chinese girls are almost always involved in academic and instrumental groups.

2) American students think that B is a gift while Chinese students think that B is a death sentence.　

American Parents VS Chinese Parents （美國家長對中國家長）

1) American parents allow their daughters or sons to go out with their boy or girl friends as long as they come home at the certain curfew. Chinese parents usually don’t approve of having relationship in middle or high school.　

2) American parents support and encourage their children at all times while Chinese parents think that criticism is the best love in the world.　

3) American parents only look at their children's good side. Chinese parents seem to only see their children's bad side.
