重點講解

P: have you adapted to the lifestyle in China?
K: yeah,almost. But there is one thing.
P: what?
K: I still wonder what privacy meant for Chinese people. I don't mean to say that there's no privacy in China, but...
P: what is it?
K: some of my Chinese colleagues just share their personal stories in front of others.
P: that makes you feel uncomfortable?
K: yeah. we never do that in a public office.
P: perhaps that's because we hold different ideas about privacy.
K: i have felt that. One day when i was in a queue, reading a newspaper story, the man behind me peered through my shoulder and stared at the newspaper I was holding.
P: well, that's not rare. I've seen people reading at others' newspaper while takng a metro or a bus.
K: just stare at the newspaper holding in the hands of the one next to him?
P: yeah.
K: Oh, I'm shocked.

你適應(yīng)了中國的生活方式了嗎?
嗯,差不多,只是...
只是什么呢?

怎么了?
有些中國同事在別人面前還談?wù)撍饺说氖虑?
讓你感覺很不舒服?

也許是因為我們的隱私的認(rèn)識不一樣吧.

就盯著旁邊那人手里的報紙那樣看?
對.
哦,我覺得挺吃驚的.
