1.Nobodytalksaboutgradeshere.这里没人谈论分数。2.Everyoneishighlyprivateabouttheiraccomplishmentsandfailures.Someone'sperformanceinanyfieldistheirperformancealone.ThisisdifferentcomparedtoIndiawherepeopleflaunt their riches and share their accomplishments with everybody else.在美国，人们极其重视自己成败的隐私，任何人在任何领域的表现只是他自己的事情。而在印度，人们喜欢到处炫耀自己的财富和成就。3. Rich people are thin/ well maintained， poor people are fat. This stems from the fact that cheap food is fatty， rich people don't eat cheap food — they tend to eat either home-cooked food which is expensive or eat at expensive / healthy places. Unfortunately， it is expensive to be healthy in America.一般来说，富人身材保持得很好，穷人则很胖。这是因为富人不吃廉价食物，而那些廉价食物往往油脂含量较高;他们更喜欢买昂贵的食材在家里做着吃，或是在提供健康食物的高档餐厅就餐。不幸的是，在美国，保持健康是一件奢侈的事情。4. The way that stores price their products makes no apparent economic sense， and is not linear at all. For example， at a typical store:商品标价不大能用经济学规律来解释，而且价格和数量不成正比。举个例子，在一家普通商场里：· 1 can of coke : $1.00· 12 cans of coke : $3.00· 1 Häagen-Dazs ice cream bar : $3.00 · 12 Häagen-Dazs ice cream bars : $7.00· 1听可乐：1美元· 12听可乐：3美元· 1支哈根达斯冰棍：3美元· 12支哈根达斯冰棍：7美元Americans are encouraged to buy in bulk， which often leads to a lot of waste.美国人鼓励批量采购，但这往往带来大量浪费。5. An almost-classless society社会阶级差别极小I've noticed that most Americans roughly have the same standard of living. Everybody has access to ample food， everybody shops at the same supermarkets， malls， stores， etc. I've seen plumbers， construction workers and janitors driving their own sedans， which was quite difficult for me to digest at first since I came from a country where construction workers and plumbers lived hand to mouth.多数美国人的生活水平大致相当。人人都有充裕的食物，去一样的杂货店、超市、商场等等。我还见到很多水管工、建筑工、清洁工开着他们自己的汽车，刚开始我实在没法理解，因为在印度，这些工人都还过着朝不保夕的日子。Almost all sections of society are roughly equal.美帝基本实现了共同富裕。还有哦，美国人不穿秋裤，不反对同性恋或者变性者，餐厅食物分量特别大。。。
