每日诵读第一周星期五(2/3)

Many North Americans and Europeans organize their timetables around three mealtimes a day. In other countries, on the other hand, it's not the custom to have strict rules like this - people eat when they want to, and every family has its own timetable. When people visit or live in a country for the first time, they are often surprised at the differences that exist between their own culture and the culture in the other country.

许多北美和欧洲国家围绕一天三顿的进餐时间安排了他们的时间表。在其他国家，另一方面，像这样的严格规定不是一种习俗-人们可以在他们想吃的时候吃，每个家庭都拥有自己的时间表。 在人们第一次参观或居住在一个城市时，他们常常惊讶他们自己国家的文化与其他国家的文化存在的差异。
