15．Are Americans Romantic¹ 美国人浪漫吗 

 

A: You know, I really don’t think Americans are very romantic. 

 

B: Where did you get that idea? 

 

A: That’s the impression I get from the movies, and from looking around. Men and women seem very businesslike in their relations with each other. 

 

B: Well, I’m still not sure what you’re asking me. 

 

A: Is it true or isn’t it? 

 

B: Do you want to know something about the American character? 

 

A: I just think you’re trying to change the subject. But go ahead. 

 

B: No, this will help answer your question. In American society boys and girls are raised together. They’re not segregated² in their activities! Boys and girls go out together from an early age. 

 

A: OK, go on. 

 

B: After being raised together, men and women can be businesslike in each other’s company. It really doesn’t have anything to do with the way a man and woman behave toward³ each other when they are in love. Does that answer your question? 

 

A: Not exactly, but I see your point. 

 

B: I think Americans are pretty romantic when they are in a relationship and a lot of flirting⁴ goes on in every office. After you’ve been in America for a while, you will probably see what I mean.
