Traveling to all corner of the world gets easier and easier,but how well do we know and understand each other?Here is a simple test.Imagine you will hold a meeting at four o'clock,what time should you expect your foreign business friends to come?If they are German,they will arrive on time.If they are American,they'll probably be fifteen minutes early.If they are British,they'll be fifteen minutes late.
The British seemed to think since the English language was widely used in the world,what they did was certain to be widely understood.Very soon they found they were completely wrong.For example,the British are happy to have a business lunch and discuss business matters with a drink during the meal;the Japanese prefer not to work while eating.Lunch is a time for relax and get to know each other,and they don't drink at lunch.Yhe Germans like to talk business bufore dinner;the French like to eat first and talk afterwards.They have to be well fed and watered before they discuss anything.
这种事居然也敢得出来，太不厚道了吧！
