Passage 1
Although the relaxed American style is well known, many new visitors think that it shows a “lack of respect”. This is especially true in the business world. Americans often use first names upon meeting a stranger and do not always shake hands. They often just smile and say “Hi” or “Hello”, rather than using a more formal handshake. It is good to remember that to an American such a relaxed greeting really means the same thing as a more official handshake somewhere else. In a similar way, Americans do not usually give a special “good-bye” or shake hands to each person when they leave a party or business meeting. They will often just wave good-bye to the whole group and perhaps say, “Well, so long everybody, I’ll see you tomorrow.” They then will

leave. No handshakes.
Americans seem either totally hurried and hard-working or totally relaxed and at ease. Often you will see men working at office desks without their chairs and even putting their feet up on the desk while they talk on the telephone. This is not meant to be offensive. Once Americans leave the busy streets, they are easy and relaxed.
A visitor to the United States should, therefore, understand that being in a great hurry does not show unfriendliness, and being relaxed and being at ease does not show a lack of respect. Americans have a great range of customs and habits that at first may seem strange to a visitor. In time you will learn these new ways.

Americans’
between two students, Harvard pre-law hockey player Oliver and a music student Jenny. Their love triumphs over different economic-class backgrounds (he is a “preppie (大学预科生) millionaire”, she a smart-mouthed “social zero” from a blue-collar Italian/ American family). Their main obstacle to romance is that his rich, powerful and snobbish father objects and threatens to cut off funding: “Oliver, if you marry her now, I’ll not give you the time of day.” To which the younger, bull-headed Oliver defiantly (对抗地) asks: “What offends you more, Father, that she’s Catholic, or poor?” He ultimately responds: “Father, you don’t know the time of day.” The two young lovers marry anyway and first move into a small apartment in Cambridge before Oliver is hired by a New York law firm and they move to the city.
The film’s two most touching and remembered scenes are their prolonged kissing scene and the montage (蒙太奇) of the couple tossing snowballs at each other. After meeting many obstacles and making sacrifices, she is diagnosed as terminally ill when she is tested for pregnancy, and dies in his arms at the hospital in a tear-inducing closing. She makes a last request of him: “You, after all—you’re going to be a merry widower.” “I won’t be merry,” he responds. She replies: “Yes, you will be. I
7 / 13
want you to be merry. You’ll be merry, okay?”
In the final scene, Oliver quotes his late wife, when speaking to his father about their past misunderstandings. After his father tells him he’s sorry that she has died, Oliver responds in the last memorable line of the film, quoting an earlier remark of Jenny’s: love means never having to say you’re sorry.
He then walks out into a snowy Central Park to think of what life might have been in a touching climax, as the award-winning musical score builds in the background. 1. A
