美国生活点滴

1．一般说来，当人们第一次见面时，他们握一握对方的手说：“It's nice to meet you.”（很高兴见到你。）其实，较正式的说法应是“How do you do?”（您好吗？）。可这种说法不太常用。第一次见面后，询问对方的工作或学习情况是开始交谈的典型方法。

2．美国人喜欢在饭后吃点甜点。冰淇淋是最受欢迎的甜点之一。他们的甜点真是名副其实的“甜”，很多东方人都觉得难以入口。

美国生活点滴

1．美国人的退休年龄一般在65岁左右，有些更早些，但也有些终生不退体。联邦政府每月都给退休的公务员发一定的退休金。佛罗里达是老人较集中的地区，所以从佛罗里达到纽约的列车上有很多老人，他们多数都是去纽约探亲、访友或度假的。

2．虽然在我们观念中，美国人似乎都过着小家庭的生活，但是事实上并不全然如此。为了照顾老人家，而把父母、岳父母（尤其是单身的岳母）接到家里奉养的仍不乏其人。近年美国经济不景气，失业率高，很多年轻人找不到工作，或者虽有工作但收入不高，无法在外独立生活，所以只有退而求其次，搬回父母亲家里和老人共住，因此两代同堂或三代同堂的情形，也较以往普遍了。
