法國(guó)大革命于1789年爆發(fā)。當(dāng)時(shí)法國(guó)正處在一片混亂中，政府腐敗，人民生活凄慘。路易十六世企

圖控制議會(huì)并增長(zhǎng)賦稅，但最后失敗了。她命令軍隊(duì)進(jìn)入凡爾賽。人民都以為她企圖用武力彈壓革命。1789

年7月14日，人民群眾爆發(fā)了，攻占了關(guān)押政治犯巴士底獄。從那天后來(lái)，7月14日就被定為法國(guó)國(guó)慶

日，1792年，路易十六企圖逃離法國(guó)，并從奧地利和普魯士獲得支持，但她被捕了。1792年王室被廢除，

路易十六被處以死刑。幾種月后，她妻子，瑪麗也被處以死刑。法國(guó)大革命令歐洲其他國(guó)家國(guó)王感到膽怯。

一種外國(guó)人對(duì)于美國(guó)第一印象很有也許是每個(gè)人都在壓力下匆匆忙忙。都市里人總是體現(xiàn)得匆匆忙

忙不知疲倦，為了盡快做完?件事情，她們會(huì)在店里拼命引起店員注意或者用胳膊肘推操別人。白天匆忙

就餐也是這個(gè)國(guó)家生活節(jié)奏一種某些。

toocanbeservedandgetbacktoworkwithinthe(imeallowed.Eachpersonhurriestomakeroomforthenext

person.Ifyoudon't,waiterswillhurryyou.

工作時(shí)間被以為是很貴重。在某些公共飲食場(chǎng)合，其她人會(huì)等在你旁邊等你吃完，這樣人們都可以

得到服務(wù)，并趕在規(guī)定期間內(nèi)回去工作。每個(gè)人都會(huì)盡快給下??種人騰出地方。如果你不這樣，侍者會(huì)催

促你。

highly,andtheyresentsomeoneelse“wasting”itbeyondacertaincourtesypoint.

你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)司機(jī)也都很匆忙，人們從你身邊匆匆走過(guò)。你會(huì)錯(cuò)過(guò)某些微笑，簡(jiǎn)短交談和某些與陌生人

小禮節(jié)。不要在乎，這是由于她們非常愛(ài)惜時(shí)間，并且她們以為一旦太注重這些社交禮節(jié)就是揮霍時(shí)間。

對(duì)時(shí)間觀念還會(huì)影響到咱們對(duì)耐心理解。在美國(guó)價(jià)值體系口，耐心并不是苜要考慮。咱們中諸多人被

稱為“脾氣火爆”。如果咱們覺(jué)得時(shí)間在毫無(wú)意義溜走，既沒(méi)有娛樂(lè)價(jià)值，工作價(jià)值，也不在休息，那就

會(huì)開始不斷地徘徊。那些來(lái)自時(shí)間觀念不同國(guó)家人發(fā)現(xiàn)她們?cè)谏虡I(yè)和尋常生活中最困難就是對(duì)時(shí)間節(jié)奏適

許多剛到美國(guó)來(lái)人都會(huì)想念她們?cè)谏虡I(yè)會(huì)談中某些開場(chǎng)禮節(jié)。舉個(gè)例子，她們會(huì)想念歡迎你到來(lái)而泡

一杯茶或咖啡這樣社交禮儀，這在她們國(guó)家是常規(guī)禮儀。她們會(huì)想念在咖啡屋悠閑會(huì)談。而普通，美國(guó)人

不會(huì)與來(lái)訪者在這樣悠閑環(huán)境中進(jìn)行某些冗長(zhǎng)小會(huì)談。對(duì)于同事，咱們總是看她過(guò)去體現(xiàn)而不是與她社交

禮儀。由于咱們普通都是更注重專業(yè)性，而不是社交性，因而嗚們總是不久進(jìn)入正題。
