WangFei , a Chinese student , and Mary , an American student studying Chinese in China , were in a supermarket . They saw a young man walking down the stairs . In his hurry , he missed the last two steps and fell on to the ground . He tried to stand up while people around him laughed . Luckily , he seemed to be OK.
Mary found WangFei smiling a little and was not happy about it ." Tell me , Fei , how could people laugh when someone fell like that Why didn't they go up and ask him if he was hurt " WangFei said ," Because they knew he wasn't hurt too much ."
" But I still don't understand . A fall is a fall . In my culture , people would never laugh!"
This is an example . The Chinese and the westerners will think and act differently when seeing such a thing . Chinese people are used to laughing or smiling . Very often the person who is in an embarrassing (困窘的)situation would also laugh or smile to get out of it . However , if someone gets hurt seriously , it will not be a laughing matter anymore . People will help him or her instead .
But in that case , a westerner will rush over and help the person get up . If a westerner falls , he or she , like a Chinese person , may try to make a joke if he or she is not hurt . If two close friends are walking together , and one falls but clearly isn't hurt , a common joke is to say Have an nice trip. "
So different people have different habits and different countries have different cultures .
