3.Translation
    美国社会风俗跟其他国家社会风俗大不相同的一点，就是名字的称呼。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；这样会令他们觉得不自在。许多美国人甚至觉得“先生”“太太”“小姐”的称呼太客套了。不论年龄，大家都喜欢以名字称呼。“别称我史密斯太太，叫我萨利好了。”称呼名字，往往是表示友善喜爱。不过，你如果觉得直呼其名不好，尽可用比较客气的称呼。你可以向对方笑笑，说你已经习惯成自然，初与人见面的时候总是比较拘谨，过一阵就会直呼名字了。
    介绍的时候，往往是连名带姓：“玛莉·史密斯，这位是约翰·琼思。”遇到这种情形，你可以自己决定该称呼那位女士为“玛莉”还是“史密斯小姐”。有时你们两人交谈，开头都是称呼对方的姓，但没多久，其中一个或彼此就直呼对方的名字了。你尽可自己选择假若你不愿意一下子就直称别人的名字，而要依照你自己的习俗称呼别人，谁也不会觉得你没有礼貌。
    你可能会注意到，美国人在一起聊天的时候，几乎从不提彼此的名衔。如果你平时听惯了不离名衔的谈话，就觉得美国人说话不客气，不近人情。你高兴的话，尽可依你本国的习惯称呼别人的名衔。
