句群与段落翻译美国人的空间与中国人的场所段羲孚

美国人有空间意识，没有场所概念。如果你去住在郊外的美国人家中做客，你要做的第一件事，几乎总是不由自主地走向观景窗。说来真是怪，你在主人屋内首先赞扬他屋外景色多么美！主人很高兴，你会欣赏他户外的远景。远方的地平线不仅仅是天地间的分界线，而且是未来的象征。美国人不会扎根于他的寓所，不管这寓所多么舒适；他的目光被辽阔的空间引向地平线上的一点，那是他的未来。American

said,

“The

前些年，也就是金钱还没有将文凭彻底打翻在地的那几年，尤其被这么公认。而现任县长和县委书记，除了年富力强等等，更主要和重要的，都正是因为有一中的高中文凭，才作为知识型的干部被推上领导岗位的。而据说他们当学生的时候，不过都是学业平平的中等生。
