【答案解析】Another cultural difference has to do with the much greater emphasis that Chinese people have traditionally placed on face, on form and on being polite. Americans, in contrast, in their daily interaction, do not often talk about losing face, gaining face, or giving face. Americans are concerned about reputations and they do think about "looking good" and making others "look good". However, in daily interaction they tend to focus more on the substance of it and not on whether or not a particular action will result in someone losing or gaining face. Such issues as personal status, which are important in Chinese concepts of face, are less important to Americans and less likely to enter their minds when thinking about substantive matters.
