美国文化American Culture

一位在美国出生的白人朋友曾说,我有幸出生在一个伟大的文化(印度)之中,而美国人没有文化。事实并非如此。她在其中生活得太久,就像美国文化海洋里的一条鱼——这种文化对她来说是无形的。人们成群结队地离开故土来到美国,为的就是这种文化:自由、个人自由、开放,以及免受人类最大的屠戮者——政府——之害。比起色彩斑斓的服饰和辛辣的食物,我任何时候都会选择它。

A caucasian and U.S. born friend once opined that I was lucky to have been born in a great culture (India), and that Americans have no culture. Not so. She has been living in it for so long that she is a fish in the American cultural ocean – it’s invisible. People leave the world in droves to come to America, for the culture. The culture of freedom, individual liberty, open-ness, and protection from the greatest slaughterer of mankind, government. I’ll take that any day over colorful clothing and spicy food.
