But if you ask Americans _42_ question, they will be puzzled because they think _43_ “going to some place” is quite a private business _44_ their own. It has _45_ to do with other people. In their eyes, only a policeman will ask such a question in the street. The same thing will happen _46_ Americans if you ask , “Have you had your meal?” In fact, to us Chinese, such questions do not mean anything _47_a greeting. In America two friends meet in the street, they _48_ say, “Hello!” or “How are you?” They _49_ ask, “Where are you going?” or “Have you had your meal?” If two friends meet _50_ and one asks the other, “Have you had your meal?” That _51_ he wants to invite his friend _52_ a meal with him. Its quite different from what it means in Chinese. The examples _53_ tell us that people in different countries _54_ different customs.
