斯密士的经典美式英语陈述：
Americans are often very friendly and helpful to people that they do not know well, and they may also be more open in what they talk about than us Asian guys. For example they don’t feel as awkward and embarrassed as we do when they mention the phrase “get laid”. Anyway, it could be confusing sometimes to someone who comes from a country where people are initially more reserved.
我是Smeeth, 大家好我又出现了^^。今天聊聊妹果仁交友三观。有一些跟咱们国人或者亚洲人时不一样的。我个人还是比较喜欢妹果仁的性格的，他们友好乐于助人，甚至是第一次见面的人他们也会帮助。他们聊天禁忌不是很多，聊得比较开，比如他们聊“约炮”这种话题时就比我们要自然得多。某些地区的人性格更加内敛腼腆，可能就不知道美国人的性格到底是什么样的了。

You may think American guys are superficial and proud but they do have two things in socializing I personally like about. Number one , they stress privacy very much. Number two, independence. Americans may prefer to do something themselves rather than asking for help, that’s the way they are educated, and that’s probably why you see American people checking map themselves at the side of a road. Because they do not want to impose on other people’s privacy and they expect others to do the same. Here’s an other difference: American people would greet strangers but Chinese guys would prefer to say hi only to people they know.
不管你是不是觉得妹果仁很肤浅或者傲娇，Smeeth我很喜欢他们与人打交道时两点：第一是重视隐私，第二是不管男女都很独立。他们宁愿自己去摸索尝试也不太愿意去直接找别人问，原因是因为他们不喜欢打扰占用别人的时间，这是他们从小的教育方式。仔细想想是不是大家有见过街上有美国来的游客在路边研究地图呢？当然了，他们不麻烦别人也是不想别人麻烦自己的。还有个不同：中国人不会跟陌生人主动打招呼，但是美国人会。

Americans care about their independence too, don’t be judgmental when talking about other people, because it’s easily considered an invasion of their privacy. Especially when you are in a relationship with an American guy/girl. And also American girls find muscular, fun, confident, and outgoing and neatly dressed males more attractive, so when you get to study abroad someday in the future, try not to be indoorsy ,extremely shy or scruffy, if you don’t want to wind up feeling alone while your roommate is making out with his blond girlfriend in a couch.
妹果仁都很独立，跟美国人打交道千万不要评头论足，因为你不了解别人就judge别人他们认为是一种对独立人格的侵犯，尤其是跟妹果仁谈恋爱的时候。那么美国的广大女生都喜欢什么样的男生呢？肌肉发达（头脑是否简单先不管），幽默风趣，开朗自信，还有衣着整齐清爽。(亚洲男生靠脸卖萌的出国了基本没优势，不过很多中国女生不管怎么样都是很受欢迎的，只要你有典型的亚洲脸:比如高颧骨细长眉毛跟单眼皮的眼睛。这就是传说中的“yellow fever”）以后大家出国念书，如果不想室友跟他的洋人女友在沙发上啪啪啪你却独守空房的话，就别总是那么宅那么害羞那么邋遢啦！LOL
