美国人的逻辑

Americans are very informal.They greet each other informally.When they see dose friends,teachers ,or someone they know only by sight,they are likely to say"Hi" in all cases.This doesn't mean they have no more regard for friends than for unfamiliar people.It only means "Hi" serves as a greeting for people.
美国人非常不拘小节。他们互相问候是很不正式的。当他们看到朋友、老师或者面熟的人，他们可能在任何情况下都说“Hi”。这并不意味着他们对不熟悉的人比对朋友还要关心。只意味着“Hi”是用来问候别人。

But some Americans often expect people from other countries to be very formal if they are polite people.So,an American may be shocked if a foreigner is very informal with him or her.Sometimes it is difficult to know what to do!
但是一些美国人经常认为其它国家的人非常正式，如果他们很有礼貌。所以，美国人可能会很震惊，如果一位外国人对他或她很正式。有时候，很难了解他们在做什么！
