    笑话文化解读

    过去,美国的年轻人在婚前通常和父母住在一起。如今,有的年轻人依然如此。但多数年轻人的生活越来越独立。他们有自己的工作。他们到处旅游。他们自己租房或是拥有自己的公寓和房子。他们等上很久的时间才结婚。在此期间,他们和人约会。

    通常一位朋友会为两位互不相识的未婚者撮合会面。这就叫做“初次约会”。约会的双方都不是盲人。他们只是以前从未见过面而已。

    在美国,约会有时并不具其他含意,也不表示必将成为特殊的伴侣。所以,如果他们想和某人见面谈谈或看个电影或一起吃个饭,以增进双方的友谊,共度一段愉悦的时光,尽可主动大方地去邀约。如果你不想赴对方约会或对方有令你不舒服的举动,可以客气但肯定地说NO,彼此尊重是基本的交往原则,也是每个人的权利。
