Now China's economy is developing vigorously, China's international status is also improving year by year, many foreign tourists also like to come to China, feel China's different scenery, and now China's very advanced technology, many foreigners come to China, in fact, for Chinese culture is also difficult to accept for a while.
Chinese speak very politely, while most people in Europe and the United States, they speak very directly. We can also learn through some TV programs that when our Chinese chefs cook, when they explain to everyone when cooking, they usually use a little of these three words, but in the eyes of foreigners, a little may be their few grams, because when these foreigners cook, they will accurately weigh these foods.
These foreigners come to China to eat, they may not know much, now Chinese like to order takeaway, they like to go to the restaurant to eat, especially to the south, may understand that the southerners eat is more heavy taste, each meal will put chili, which is not very spicy foreigners, usually unacceptable.
So they will ask the owner of the restaurant in advance if there is any chili, and the owner will generally say that there is a little, and at this time foreign tourists will be relieved.
But when the meal was served, these foreigners were also dumbfounded, obviously there was only a little chili, but there was a plate of chili, which made foreigners very distressed. In fact, it is caused by the difference in language and culture between the two countries, because most foreigners are very direct, they are very accurate in describing things, but in our China, a little bit actually represents a polite and implicit statement.
In China, there are some restaurants where rice is free and you can add it. In China, you may add a little rice, which is a bowl or half a bowl of rice. But these foreigners want a little rice, maybe they just want to eat a little in their heads, but the boss added a bowl to him, which makes many foreigners also very puzzled.
In fact, this is caused by the different language methods of the two countries, and we cannot evaluate which country's language method is correct, after all, since these foreigners have come to China, they should adapt to Chinese culture and language habits.
Because Chinese culture is still relatively broad and profound, if we only understand the literal meaning, it may be easy to misunderstand, so to communicate with Chinese, in addition to understanding the literal meaning, it is still necessary to understand the inner thoughts of these Chinese.
Foreigners speak very directly, their language is usually their inner thoughts, completely not polite and tactful, when going to foreign countries, you must pay more attention, they will not be as polite and polite as Chinese, sometimes Chinese hear them speak, you will also feel very hurt self-esteem.
In short, foreign tourists come to China, try not to believe a little bit of Chinese business, because a little bit in the mouth of the Chinese, may be a large amount in the eyes of foreigners, if you go out to eat, you may also order more meals because of language problems, resulting in endless food to take back.
