tips:
在西方,与别人会面办事往往需要事先预约。否则很可能见不到要找的人,因为每个人都有自己的schedule。 约定时间时,可询问对方什么时间方便,也可以建议一个时间征询对方意见。不速之客往往不受欢迎,因为这会使别人不得不改变原有的计划。在约好时间地点后如fail to make it, 则应及早通知对方,另行安排时间。在通知对方时,首先应向对方道歉, 接着说明取消约会的原因,然后请对方另行约定一个时间。

【文化ABC】--钟表的奴隶(1)
有这样一种说法,即美国人是钟表的奴隶。对他们来说,时间是一种珍贵的商品。
通常情况下,美国人是不会与记者进行长时间闲谈的;也不会把时间花费在饭桌前,通过宴请客人来建立友谊关系或联络感情。对大多数人来说,友好关系比不上实际表现重要。所以,在与客人简单,礼节性地寒暄后,他们很快就会谈及正题。由于人们非常珍贵时间,他们很讨厌那些不知趣地浪费别人时间的人。
