One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I wasserving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly.I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I al-ways respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure.My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a longtalk about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description“old”. I then walked back to the table and said sorry to the wife. After the coupleheard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences,so they laughed and were no longer angry.In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they canlearn from their rich experience.However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Heremany people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises orjogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple inthe restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.Aft er that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’trespect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.By Jack9.
