中国人的哪一方面让美国人感到难以理解？（下）



Martin Beck, China has been my home since 2010.（自2010年来中国就成了我的家）

There are a few things Americans and also my fellowGermans don’t understand about Chinese and other Eastern cultures:
Forth Thinking. The Chinese do not live for the nowbut for the later, everything they do is driven with delayed gratification, asopposed to instant gratification in the West. I know some Chinese who makeserious (and I mean serious, well within six-figures in USD) money yet eat ricewith vegetables and some meat bites most days to save even more money here andthere so that they may buy a house or invest sooner rather than later, bigprojects rule over instant gratification.
​
美国人以及我的德国同胞不了解中国人和其他东亚文化的地方在于：
1、超前思维。中国不为现在生活，而是为了将来，他们做的一切都是为了延迟满足，而不是像西方那样喜欢立马得到满足。我认识的一些中国人赚大钱（六位数，美元），可是却吃米饭配一些青菜和肉，从而存钱买房子或者投资，他们的目标是大工程，而不是为了当下的满足。



Wealth Worship. Whereas in the West people seem tohate those more successful than them and think “it’s so unfair!”, “it should beme!” or “f*ck the 1%!”, ordinary Chinese see rich people and think “it’samazing!”, “i want to be like them!” or “i have to work harder!”. It’s adifferent mentality that drives people to try harder and to push themselvesover their limits, to come with new ideas and to find ways to create morewealth. I respect this mentality.

4、财富崇拜。西方人一般讨厌比自己成功的人，认为这不公平！应该是我成功，去它的那1%。普通中国人看到富人会觉得，哇，好厉害，我想成为那样的人，或者我得更努力点了。这种不一样的心态让人们更努力工作超越自己的极限，从而想方设法创造更多财富。我尊重这样的心态。

Even The Sky’s Not The Limit. China already is thelargest economy in the world by some measures. For 20 years now, mainstreammedia in the West has been claiming that it’s reached its peak… spoiler, ithasn’t. The faith Chinese people have that their economy will continue growingfor the foreseeable future is justified. With 5 times the population of the US,China is still a developing country, let’s talk about peak once its economyreaches 3 or 4 times that of the US.

5、即使天空都不是限制。根据某些算法，中国已经是世界最大经济体。20年来西方主流媒体都说中国已经达到顶峰，不好意思，还没有。中国人认为自己的经济还会继续发展，这是有道理的。人口是美国的五倍，中国还是发展中国家，当中国经济达到美国的三到四倍时再来谈中国的巅峰吧。

Race Is Irrelevant. All the people complainingabout racism in China are little b*ches. I know people from all races who fitin just right and never experienced discrimination. The difference? The peopleI know have made the effort to learn the language. Learn the goddamn languagebefore freaking out because you think that people are talking about you. Whatmakes you think that anyway? You’re not that interesting dear, stop beingparanoid.

6、种族是不相干的。那些抱怨中国存在种族主义的人都是小贱人。我见过的来自各个种族的人都能很好的融入中国，从来没经历过什么歧视。差别是？我认识的人都努力学习中文。先学会语言再说，否则你老是疑神疑鬼以为别人都在谈论你。都不知道对方说什么的情况下，你凭什么认为人们在歧视你？你可没那么有意思，不要再偏执了。



China is 3rd in top destinations for internationalstudents and may grow to 2nd place shortly
China’s network of high-speed trains are reducingthe need for short haul regional airlines
China produces more STEM graduates then the next 6countries combined
China is the world’s largest car market and GM sellmore cars in China then in the US, making GM vulnerable to a China-US tradedispute
Chinese are satisfied with their government and thedirection of the country and have no desire to leave.

中国在最受外国学生欢迎的留学目的地中排名第三，很快将变成第二。中国的高铁网络削减了短途区域航班的需求。中国的理科毕业生数量比后面六个国家的总和还多。中国是世界最大的汽车销售市场，通用在中国的汽车销量比在美国还多，所以通用受中美贸易战影响很大。
中国人满意于自己的政府，也满意于国家的前进方向，没打算离开。
