Question

帮忙翻译几篇短文

School:One illustraction of the difference between collectivist and individualist cultures can be found in the way schools are

organized.For example,in Chinese secondary schools and even universities,students generally function as a group.They are

organized into class groups(ban),and all studentx in the same class group have the same courses together.In contrast,American high school

and university students are expected to function as indiveduals They generally choose at least some courses according to their

own interests,and as a result they generally have different classmates in different courses.They have no class group

quite like a Chinese "ban".

Parties :serve as another illustration of this collectivist individualist difference.For example,Chinese parties often have

a group focus,either a shared meal or a set of performances that everyone watches and in which many participate.in contrast

one very typical kind of party in America is a cocktail party in which people chat together in pairs or small groups ,

changing conversation partners many times during the during the course of the evening.

It is hard to say for sure which of these two technicians a western manager would fire ,but it is probably safe to say

that Bob has a much better chance of keeping hic job in an individualish Wew=stern culture than he would in a collictivist

one .One reason is that a Western manager would feel more pressure to base the decision mainly on objective "public"

criteria,such as Bob~s MA degree.Asecond reason is that everyone involved--the manager,john,and eventhe manager~ssuperiors

--would assume that it would not be right for the manager~s personal friendship with John to affect her decision very

much ; in fact she might even expect John not to "take it personally"if she decided to fire him rather than Bob. Finally

presonal consideration(what Chinese might call renqingwei) would be considered private matters rather than public,so

even though there would be sympathy for John~s family situation it would be hard to use that situation to justify a decision

to let him deep his job .

Of course ,personal relationships do make a difference in bow people the West treat each other ,even in public

settings .However,the wall between bublic and private life tends to be somewhat higeer in the individualish West than it

is in collictivist cultures.

-学校：集体主义和个体主义文化的区别可以从学校组织方式中找到证明。例如，在中国中学甚至大学里，学生们一般以集体为单位。他们分成班级并且同一班级的所有学生上同样的课。相反，美国的高中和大学里学生以个人为单位。他们至少会选择一些他们感兴趣的课程因而在不同的课程里他们有不同的同学。他们没有像中国的“班”一样的集体。

-聚会是集体主义和个人主义区别的另一个例证。例如，中国的聚会通常有一个焦点，要么是共同用餐要么是大家一起看表演或者共同参与。相反美国的典型聚会是鸡尾酒会，聚会中人们两两或者几个人一起交谈，并且整晚不断改变交谈对象。……在个人主义的西方文化中很难说经理会将哪个技术员解雇，最好说bob更有可能留下来，而不像集体主义文化中说他会（留下来）。一个原因是一个西方经理如果将客观的公认的标准用来做决定比如bob的文学硕士学位，他会感到更大的压力。第二个原因是所有人都包括在内-经理john甚至经理的上司会觉得因经理与john的个人感情而很大程度影响到经理的决定是不对的。事实上她期望john不要认为这是个人原因如果她把他而不是bob给解雇了。最后出于个人的考虑（中国人称为人情味）会被认为是徇私情而不公平。所以即使对john家庭状况同情也很难因此让他保留这份工作。
Of course ,personal relationships do make a difference in bow people the West treat each other ,even in public settings .However, the wall between public and private life tends to be somewhat higher in the individualism West than it is in collectivist cultures.
-当然，私人关系在西方人们相处方式上甚至在公共事件中确实造成了不同。然而，西方个人主义文化中公共和私人生活之间的隔阂比集体主义要深的多。
