Culture shock文化冲击
Brad Li is a junior high school student in China. He visited the US on an international exchange last year, and now he is giving a speech about his experience.
布兰德·李是中国一所初中的学生。去年，作为国际交流的学生，他来到了美国。现在，他正在讲述他在美国的经历。 Living in another country
在国外生活
My name is Brad Li. I'm here today to tell you about my experience as an exchange student in the United States last year.
我的名字叫布兰德·李。去年，作为在美国的交换生，我给大家讲一讲我在美国的生活经历。
I must admit that at first America was a big culture shock for me. Many things were strange to me: the language, the food and even the school.
首先，我必须得承认，美国的文化和中国的文化实在是太不一样了。对我来说，好多事情都是陌生的：语言，食物甚至是学校。 I stayed with a host family in a small town. My host parents, Mr and Mrs Hurst, were very kind. They organized a lot of activities for me in my spare time so that I wouldn't miss home or feel lonely.
我寄宿在美国一个小镇的家庭里。户主是赫斯特先生和他的夫人。在空闲时间，他们让我参加了很多活动，这样我就不会太思念祖国和家人。 However, to a certain degree, life in the US was hard to get used to. My main problem was with the language. I failed to understand much in the first few weeks because everyo
ne spoke so fast. Though I soon managed to get used to it, I still had problems because they used a lot of idioms. For example, they often say they are "under the weather" when they are ill. Their everyday English is very different from what we learn in China.
但是，从某种程度来说，美国的生活很艰苦，并且很难适应。我最大的问题就是语言。在刚来的那几周，因为当地人说话语速很快，我很难听懂他们在讲什么。后来，我慢慢地习惯了这种语速，但是我又遇到了新的难题，那就是，当地人经常说一些俚语。比方说，他们经常用“under the weather”表示他们生病了。他们日常语言和我们在国内学习的语言有很大的区别。
Another difference was the food. My host family always had bread, potatoes and salad for meals. I really missed the dumplings, rice and delicious dishes from home.
另一个不同的地方就是食物。我的房东每餐都吃面包、土豆和沙拉。我非常想念祖国的饺子、米饭以及很多美食。
School was a big shock too. They do not require students to wear uniforms, so students c
an wear almost whatever they like. Some students have strange hairstyles as well. Some students even have pink or purple hair!
学校也是让我感到惊奇的地方。学校并不要求学生们穿统一的校服，这样，学生们就可以想穿什么就穿什么。有的同学留着奇怪的发型，还有的同学甚至染着粉和紫的头发！
Anyway, I have many great memories of that year, especially playing in the snow in winter, and playing baseball. At Halloween, I went to a party dressed as Harry Potter. At Thanksgiving, we had a big dinner with a huge turkey.
不管怎么样，那一年给我留下了深刻的印象，特别是在雪中打雪仗和打棒球。在万圣节，我打扮成哈利波特参加了一个化装舞会。在感恩节，我们吃了一只巨大的火鸡。
It was an exciting year, and it was a valuable education for me. Now I understand more about American culture. My American friends asked me many questions about life in China, and this made me think about my own culture as well.
