九、与西人交往,并非想象得那么容易
国内人以为我们在国外都有一些西人朋友,其实不然,与西人较深层次地交往,除了语言的差异,更重要的是文化的隔阂。谁都对身边事务的关心程度甚于外域,普通西人热衷中国文化、渴望结识华人朋友的少之又少,“物以类聚,人以群分”,在哪里都一样。
The domestic person thought that we in overseas certaingly have some westerner friends. But in fact it is not so. It is difficult to develop deep level contact with foreigners for language difference, and also cultural barrier.
