There is no unified standards to which is the polite/appropriate way to follow for social customs.For example，when you are greeted by a Westerner with the phrase “ How are you？”，do not mistake it as a kind of concern for your health or your personal well being.In fact，such a phrase carries no other message but a greeting.Therefore，the best answer is “Fine，thank you” or “Very well，thank you”.
关于在社会习俗上怎样做才算是有礼貌或是合适尚缺乏统一的标准。例如，当一位西方人用“您好吗？”来向您问候时，不要将其视作为一种对您健康或个人状况的问题。事实上，这样的问候语背后并无任何关心之意，仅仅是问候而已。因此，对这类问候的最好回答是“很好，谢谢”，或是“非常好，谢谢您的问候”。高频句型igh-frequency Sentences

A great difference between American social customs and those of other countries is the way in which names are used.Americans have little concern for “rank”，especially socially.Most Americans do not want to be treated in any especially respectful way because of their age or social rank ；it makes them feel uncomfortable .Many Americans even find the terms Mr.”，“Mrs.” or “Miss”too formal.People of all ages may prefer to be called by their first name.
美国的社会风俗跟其他国家的社会风俗相比，在称呼上差别很大。美国人不重视“地位”，尤其是社会地位。大多数美国人都不愿意自己因年龄或社会地位的关系而特别受人尊敬，这样会使他们觉得不自在。许多美国人甚至觉得“先生”，“太太”，“小姐”的称呼太客气了。不论年龄多大，大家都喜欢以名字称呼。高频句型igh-frequency Sentences
