关于中国文化的英语演讲

众所周知，功夫熊猫2所示最近，很快成为中国的热门话题。令人惊讶的是，这家美国电影显示了明亮的中国影像例如功夫和熊猫。这是文化的全球化的一个很好的例子。但有两个完全不同的对待它的态度。有些人认为它表明了中国文化的的影响越来越大。然而，其他人倾向于采取了相反的观点，并把它作为本土文化资源的入侵。至于我，我倾向于采取开放的态度，对文化的全球化。我们可以促进我们自己的文化，同时学习其他文化形式，这是对所有国家有利。最后，重要的是要注意，每一种文化都有其自身的特点。随着文化的全球化趋势不断发展，我们应该为我们国家的传统文化的发展和蔓延负责。我的看法：在学好本土文化的前提下去学习其他国家的文化对民族文化的发展是十分有益的，学习他人的文化固然可取，但要尊重他人的名族文化形式，尽可能的保留其特点，我们要在中国文化全球化的基础上保护好中国文化最本质的东西，我们要对中国的民族文化的传承与发展负责。my view of culture globalization as is known to all, kung fu panda 2 was shown recently and soon became a hot topic in china.surprisingly, this american film shows bright chinese images such as kungfu and panda.this is a good example of culture globalization.but there are two entirely different attitudes towards it.some people think it demonstrates the increasing influence of chinese culture.others, however, incline to take the opposite point of view and regard it as an invasion of native culture resources.as for me, i tend to take an open attitude towards culture globalization.we can promote our own culture and meanwhile learn form other cultures, which is beneficial to all countries.finally, it is important to note that each culture has its own characteristics.with the evolving trend of culture globalization, we should be responsible for the development and spread of our national culture tradition.篇四：美洲文化演讲稿

美洲文化演讲稿 自发现新大陆之后，美洲的文明发生了剧烈的演变，欧洲各国的殖民入侵几乎把美洲本土的玛雅文明和印加文明洗荡殆尽，到了近代文化发展时期，代之以欧洲多国混合的殖民政治和殖民经济，并且在新大陆上发展了区别欧洲的美洲文明，所以美洲文明就历史延续性来说，具有巨大断裂感和跳跃性的民展特征，古代文化与近代主流文明几乎没有因果关联。美洲历史起源于原生的美洲土著人类，哥伦布发现新大陆后，欧洲列强纷至沓来，开始了对美洲的瓜分和殖民统治，南美主要被西班牙、葡萄牙等欧洲殖民帝国所瓜分和统治，北美则为英法等新生殖民帝国所瓜分，因此，南北美洲的殖民地时期的历史文化也有很大不同。北美的代表性文明是美国文明，南美的文明则被称为“梅斯蒂索文明”。“梅斯蒂索文明”一词在西班葡萄牙语中意为“杂交的”。南美和北美因地理上的因素，南北文化的交融和交叉较少，其历史文明的发展也相对比较独立。

今天我要带着大家进行一次美洲之行，通过这次行程来了解南北美各自的魅力。首先，我们来看一下美洲的概况。1.自然地理；2.主要历史阶段；3.人口与民族；4.文化与习俗。第二个部分呢我们将着重介绍美洲几个国家的旅游文化景观，跟随我们的脚步从北一路南下吧。第一站我们将来到加拿大，加拿大盛产枫叶，其中以东南部的魁北克省和安大略的枫叶最多最美。加拿大枫林遍布，每到深秋枫树叶红如晚霞，仿佛夏日里怒放的花朵，因此加拿大被人们称之为“枫叶之国”。加拿大人讲究礼仪，主要体现在以下几个方面 1服饰礼仪

在加拿大，不同的场合有不同的装束，在教堂，男性着深色西装，女士则穿庄重的衣裙。在参加婚礼时，男子或穿着西装，或穿便装，加拿大青年人喜爱那种体现现代生活的节奏感，使着装者显得潇洒。2仪态礼仪

加拿大人在社交场合一般姿态比较庄重，举止优雅，在交谈时，加拿大人会和颜悦色地向着对方。加拿大人常用两手手指交叉置于桌上等姿态来缓和紧张气氛或掩饰窘态。有人遇到不幸或心情不好的时候，他们一般会采用这种姿势，这说明他们对这人的处境表示理解和同情 3相见礼仪

加拿大人在社交场合与客人相见时，一般都行握手礼，亲吻和拥抱礼仅适合熟人，亲友和情人之间。加拿大人的姓名同欧美人一样，名在前，姓在后，他们在作介绍时，一般遵循先少后长，先高后低的次序。4餐饮礼仪

加拿大人在食俗上与英美人相似，由于气候寒冷的缘故，他们养成了爱吃烤制食品的习惯，这是他们的独特之处。加拿大人用刀叉进食，极爱食用烤牛排，尤其是八成熟的嫩牛排，习惯在用餐后喝咖啡和吃水果。5喜丧礼仪

加拿大基督教徒的婚礼一般都在教堂里举行。在结婚仪式上，牧师要为他们做祷告，新郎新娘互换戒指。加拿大人去世后，一般都要请牧师做弥撒，使死者的灵魂升入天堂。在葬礼上，亲友要在牧师的祷告声中撒下鲜花。6商务礼仪

在加拿大从事商务活动，首次见面一般要先作自我介绍，在口头介绍的同时递上名片。加拿大人喜欢别人赞美他的衣服。在商务谈判中，要集中精力，不要心不在焉，在正式谈判场合，衣着要整齐庄重。加拿大人有较强的时间观念，他们会在事前通知你参加活动的时间。另外，由于大部分加拿大人信奉基督教新教和天主教，因此他们忌讳13和星期五，认为它们是带厄运的数字。加拿大人民对自己的国家充满了自豪感，他们反感把加拿大同美国

作比较，尤其忌讳拿美国的优点来与他们相比。

现在我们看到的这幅图是落基山区，这里共有7座国家公园，以冰封、冰斗、冰原等奇异的冰川地貌，神秘的高山湖泊，壮丽的峡谷飞瀑和优质的矿物温泉为特色。整个落基山是纵观北美的伟大山脉，被喻为“北美洲的脊骨”。

如果说枫叶之国领略的是风俗与自然风光，我们的下一站将会看到历史与现代结合的旅游大国。美国有许多人文类旅游资源多是在独立战争和南北战争时期立下的历史遗迹或是现代都市文明；另外自然资源也很丰富，高山湖泊。优美的生态环境和发达的现代农业等。美国成立不过200多年，有人说它不曾有过历史遗迹，其实不然。大都会ame教堂（美国华盛顿特区）这座维多利亚时期哥特式的红砖建筑始建于1886年。1895年这里举行了犹太团体成员弗雷德里克·道格拉斯（frederick douglass）葬礼。一百年后，也是在这里举行了罗莎·帕克斯（rosa parks)的葬礼。现在该教堂已经多年遭受水的侵蚀，部分因为附近工程所致。教堂工会不得不发起一项全国性的筹资行动，为抢救和维护教堂提供资金。

布拉克山（肯塔基州哈尔伦县）历史上，上图中的本汉镇（benham）以及林奇镇（lynch）曾是矿业小镇，通过发展小商品经济以及开发历史旅游遗迹为当地创造了财富。但现如今，小镇受到了附近布拉克山地表及深层采矿活动的威胁。采矿活动不仅会破坏当地的自然风光，也会阻碍当地旅游业的进一步发展。胡安娜·布里奥尼斯故居（美国加利福利亚洲帕罗奥图市）这座房屋始建于1844年，由一位旧金山市的西班牙裔建造，是帕罗奥图市最古老的建筑，位于硅谷的中心地带。建造者胡安娜·布里奥尼斯是一位颇有开拓性精神的女性，她当时既是大农场主，又是传统疗法医生和企业家。这座房屋是加利福利亚洲富有阶层的西班牙和墨西哥人稀有的历史遗存，现在已被遗弃，遭受风吹雨淋，面临毁坏的危险。

跨国巴拿马运河，我们首先进入的是南美最大的国家——巴西。巴西人不羞于表露感情，人们在大街上上相见也热烈拥抱，无论男女，见面和分别时都握手。妇女们相见时脸贴脸，用嘴发出接吻时的声音，但嘴不接触脸。和巴西商人进行商务谈判时，要准时赴约。如对方迟到，那怕是1-2个小时，也应谅解。像大部分拉美人一样，巴西人对时间和工作的态度比较随便。和巴西人打交道时，主人不提起工作时，你不要抢先谈工作。谈话时要亲热，要离得

近近的，但不要有失计策。不管那里天气怎么热，穿深色服装都是适宜的。巴西人特别喜爱孩子，谈话中可以夸奖他的孩子。巴西的男人喜欢笑，但客人避开涉及当地民族玩笑。对当地政治问题最好闭口不谈。

在巴西，以棕色之色，紫色表示悲伤，黄色表示绝望。他们认为人死好比黄叶落下，所以忌讳棕黄色。人们迷信紫色会给人们来悲。另外，还认为深咖啡色会招来不幸。所以，非常讨厌。巴西有两大景观不得不提，即热带雨林和狂欢节。（看ppt）桑巴舞是狂欢节的灵魂，是巴西的国舞（桑巴品质）巴西人性格开豪放，待人热情而有礼貌。他们的风俗也颇有趣。如男人喜欢在自己的胸前画一支虎，以表示英勇。或者在胸前画一支箭，表示自己是最好的射手。他们还把一种稀有的“金桦果”视为幸福的象征。

我们的最后一站来到了智利。智利风俗礼仪在许多方面同西班牙人的十分近似，但又带有当地土著居民的鲜明特征。智利人注重礼节，热情好客但传统习俗颇多，而且带有明显的西方人的特征。其社交习俗总的特点可以用这样几句话来概括：

南美洲的智利人，性格豁达心地纯；

迎宾待客讲友好，重视礼仪很热忱；

昵爱花草野百合，鲜红艳丽胜美神；

山鹰被誉为国鸟，象征祖国民族魂；

黑色、紫色为丧色，“十三”、“周五”忌光临。

他们忌讳黑色和紫色。认为这些颜色是不吉利和很丧气的。他们送礼忌送刀剑，认为这暗示着友情的完结。他们忌讳菊花，视菊花为“妖花”。因为菊花是敬献死人放在灵前的，所以，在房间里是不应摆菊花的，更不能拿菊花当作礼花送给别人。在智利有一座地球上最孤独的岛屿——复活节岛。它独处地球偏僻的一角，孤悬于南太平洋上，远离其他岛屿。岛上石像都是由整块的火山岩雕成的。他们一律长耳、长鼻、浓眉、长脸，都有一双深邃的眼睛，或阴郁，或沉思，或冷漠，或严肃得叫人心情压抑。最大的一尊高10多米，头顶上，放着一块巨大的刻成假发形状的红色巨岩。这些石像环立在岛的周围，眺望着波涛滚滚的太平洋。石像奇怪的姿态和阴沉的眼神，使小岛笼罩着浓厚的神秘气氛。圣地亚哥是一座拥有400多年历史的古城。1541年，西班牙殖民者瓦尔迪维亚率领150名骑兵来到这里，在位于现在城市中心的圣卢西亚山上修筑了西班牙在南美洲大陆上的第一座炮台，并在山下用泥砖和草木建筑了一批原始的住宅区，这就是圣地亚哥城的雏形。1818年4月5日，经过智利争取独立战争中一场决定性战役——迈普之战后，圣地亚哥成为智利的首都。公元19世纪因智利发现铜矿并逐渐大规模开采，城市迅速得到发展。在随后的年月里，数次遭受地震、洪水等自然灾害的破坏，市区历史性建筑物受到严重毁坏。今天的圣地亚哥是一座现代化的城市，面积100多平方公里，人口534万，是智利最大城市，全国政治、经济、文化和交通中心。智利是世界上第三大产铜国，也是世界上出口铜最多的国家之一。在圣地亚哥市，人们处处都能感受到铜的存在，到处都可以看到铜的光辉 柏拉维斯塔区的波西米亚**西米亚,原意指豪放的吉卜赛人和颓废派的文化人。然而在今年的时装界甚至整个时尚界中，波西米亚风格代表着一种前所未有的浪漫化，民俗化，自由化。浓烈的色彩、繁复的设计，会带给人强劲的视觉冲击和神秘气氛—实际也是对这两年简约风格的最大冲击。

巴勃罗-聂鲁达故居（从外面看上去酷似一艘船，在修建时，屋主的确是仿照船和灯塔来进行设计的，餐桌后面还有一条秘密通道，估计是主人为了躲避无趣的访客而设）

餐厅

是一家在当地颇受欢迎的餐厅，在这里你可以见识下传统的安第斯烹饪技巧，品尝下当地特产智利鳕鱼和

巴塔哥尼亚羊羔。手工旅游纪念品圣地亚哥城，卖手工旅游纪念品的商店和摊位多如牛毛，但如果你真想淘到“好货”，那就非得去位于区的这家古文物商城不可，这里共容纳了二十余家古董店，既有前哥伦比亚时代的艺术品，也有天主教祭坛背壁装饰画和银质相框等文物饰品。美洲文化总结

多源性：北美由于是由外来移民及后裔组成的,它的民族成分十分复杂,具有多源性.；南美 多元化：开放、创新

统一性：北美——由于英法殖民者的长期统治和文化传统的影响，因此北美的民族文化传统一般是以欧洲文化成分为基础，吸收古老的印第安文化成分和非洲、亚洲文化成分，经过不断发展与完善，最终形成的一种各民族共同文化传统，表现出高度的统一性的特点。

第四篇：美国自然主义介绍演讲稿

Opening Good afternoon everyone, I’m honored to represent my group to stand here and talk about the American Naturalism with you today.I hope you can enjoy it.We always say that literature originates from life.Naturalism is probably the most faithful one to describe the life.In the world of naturalism we can hardly enjoy ourselves.The whole picture of naturalism is somber and dark;and the general tone is hopelessness and even despair.So before we go into it there’s something that I hope you can remember about the naturalism.2 We can finds humanistic values in these naturalistic works.In the works there is a desire to assert one’s human identity, to define oneself against the social and natural forces one confronts.Whenever we find the weakness of ourselves we try to fight against it.History background Social background During 1980s(the decades after the Civil War)the United States were changing into “Modern America” in the economic, social and cultural aspects.Industrialism, science and the new philosophy of life influenced the change of the country.The spread of industrialization created extremes of wealth and poverty.The Proletariat workers' life was decided by the external forces beyond their control.There appeared a lot of slums.The conditions in the slums became worse and worse.The city poor lived a life of insecurity, suffering and violence.Westward expansion continued to push the frontier nearer the Pacific coast.But the settlers found themselves controlled by the cruel forces as railroad companies.These forces charged heavy rates and drove farmers to bankruptcy.Life became a struggle for survival.Man is helpless and insignificant in a cold world.Culture background The literature climate of the country was also changing.Apparently the realism writers were too old and too set in their ways to re-orient themselves in the new period.Realism was now too restrained and genteel in tone to tell the truth of the harsher realities of American life.Darwin & Spencer At the same time the spread of Darwin’s theory of evolution changed people’s ideology.Darwin, in On the Origin of Species referred that humans are highly evolved animals.(first)Herbert Spencer is English philosopher.He adapted the theory of evolution into a social system in which those individuals, species, or races with the best acquired characteristics would survive.(social Darwinism)émile Zola(1840～1902)French writer 对比他们的不同

Zola held that the literary artist “must operate with characters, passions, human and social data as the chemist and the physicist work on inert bodies, as the physiologist works on living bodies.” Human beings as “products” should be studied impartially, without moralizing about their natures.He dared to describe the bloody scenes of the life and have the extraordinary and excessive description in human nature.The surroundings and heredity can decide one’s destiny.French Naturalism with its new techniques and new ways of writing, appeal to the imagination of the younger generation like Crane Norris and Dreiser.Put yourself on the operating table.加结语）Definition Let’s see the general definition of the naturalism.The term naturalism describes a type of literature that attempts to apply scientific principles of objectivity and detachment to its study of human beings.Thus, if a writer wishes to depict life as it really is, he or she must be rigorously.Features of Naturalism 1.Human is controlled by laws of heredity and environment and has no free will or choice(determinism).The universe is cold, indifferent, and essentially Godless, man was enslaved, they are helpless, insignificant and lacking dignity.Everything is determined by a complex of internal chemisms and by the forces of social pressure.2.The naturalist writers report the life of the helpless people truthfully and objectively.They write their novels with a passion for scientific accuracy.There are a lot of factual details in their works.They paint life as it is lived in the slums, and are blamed of telling just the ugly side of it.The typical settings are slums, sweatshops, factories, farms.3.The naturalists are different from the realists.Though the naturalists write about real life, they do not look at the average.They look at the violent, unpleasant and ugly sides of life.Instead of reflecting the middle-class life, they write about the life of failure, poverty and even crime.Characters are always ill-educated or lower-class whose lives are governed by the forces of heredity, instinct, and passion.The reality is found when the forces of Nature are most powerful in checking human desires, in keeping humans from realizing their dreams.extreme experiences 4.There are less happy ending in the naturalistic fictions than in the realistic ones.The tone of Naturalistic writings is more ironic and pessimistic and less sympathetic and serious than realistic writings.5.Life became a struggle for survival.Therefore, naturalistic novels reflect the struggle of man to adapt to environment.However the characters in the novels never give up.They died, but they didn’t admit defeat.Representative writers • The young writers were not admitted by the critics of that time and some of there books were forbidden because of their truly reveal of the life.Naturalistic writers cleared the way for the next generation, “the lost generation” of the 1920s.In theme they represented the life of the lower classes truthfully and broke into such forbidden regions as violence, death, and sex.In technique their works exhibit honest skills and artistry.• •

Stephen Crane

Crane's works reflect many of the major artistic concerns at the end of the nineteenth century, especially naturalism, impressionism, and symbolism.his first book, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets(1893)transitional period a sympathetic study of an innocent and abused slum girl Maggie descents into prostitution and her eventually suicide.the red badge of courage

Fleming, a young recruit under fire for the first time in an unnamed battle of the Civil War.A farm boy whose struggle with his emotions might be that of the eternal recruit in any battle of any war, Henry has dreamt of fighting heroically in “Greek-like” battles.In first battle, Fleming witnessed the real, cruel war and the death of soldiers.He began to run like a wild animal.At the same time, he wanted to own a wound---“the symbol of courage”.In his way of return, he was hit by a scared soldier and accidentally got the “the red badge of courage”.Yet he received great praise and careful care because of this “red badge”.In the second war, Fleming began to act like a real hero to fight with his enemy.He was like a war beast and fired without a stop until his comrades remind him of the retreat of the enemy.He became a real man.Comments The Red Badge of Courage is often considered one of the best American war stories ever written, even though the author was born after the events and never saw battle himself.His purpose in writing the book was to rewrite the traditional hero, explore the complicated mental world and instinctive fear, and also to criticize the insignificance of war.It is also a psychological novel.Theodore Dreiser

Dreiser read voraciously by himself.He immersed himself in Dickens and Thackeray, read widely Shakespeare, and tasted Fielding, Pope, Thoreau, Emerson, and Twain, but his true literary influences were from Balzac, Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer.Sister Carrie A country girl comes to Chicago to look for a better life.On the train, she gets acquainted with a traveling salesman, Drouet.She first stays with her sister.However, her sister is too poor to keep her.Then when she is seriously ill, Drouet comes to her rescue and takes her home.Later, her beauty attracts Drouet’s friend, Hurswood.Hurswood deserts his comfortable home and family, and forces her to elope with him.For sometime, they experience terrible poverty.Sister Carrie goes out to work on the stage and becomes successful.But Hurswood proves himself to be unfit.He tries different jobs but fails.Then Sister Carrie deserts him.On a cold winter night, he commits suicide.Comments Materialism, including the desire for money, is an important theme in Sister Carrie.The materialism is shown mostly through Carrie's character but also through Hurstwood, a man with a respectable life and money, who still wants more and for that reason commits a crime.The city in itself is also a place of materialism, it is a place that offers all kinds of amusements, pleasures and things to buy, but to participate in what the city has to offer one has to have money.• Style

–(1)Lack of concision, without good structure.And readers are sometimes burdened with massive detailed description of characters and events.–(2)Lack in imagination, journalistic method

–(3)He broke away from the gentle tradition of literature and dramatized the life in a very realistic way.There is no comment, no judgment but facts of life in the stories.His style is not polished but very serious and well calculated to achieve the thematic ends he sought.Franklin Norris

Frank Norris was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1870.His father, Benjamin, was a self-made Chicago businessman and his mother, Gertrude Glorvina Doggett, had a stage career.In 1884 the family moved to San Francisco where Benjamin went into real estate.In Paris where he studied painting for two years and was exposed to the naturalist novels of Emile Zola He attended the University of California, Berkeley between 1890 and 1894 where he picked up the ideas of human evolution of Darwin and Spencer, that are reflected in his future writings.Although he did not openly support socialism as a political system, his work nevertheless evinces a socialist mentality and influenced socialist/progressive

Comment on The Octopus The railroad is compared to octopus with millions of tentacles.It illustrates how social and economics conditions ruined the lives of innocent, powerless people.But Norris did not seem to blame the railroad officials for the tragedies.To him, conditions, natural forces, not men were responsible for what had happened, and the laws of nature could ruin an insignificant farmer as well as a financial superman.The novel reveals his determinist view clearly.

第五篇：美国文化的英语作文

[Summary]：每个政府都在竭尽全力地促使自己治理的社会迅速发展，美国也不例外。然而，我们不能只注意美国光鲜亮丽的一面，还应该知道，在其经济发展政治和平的同时，也有许多社会问题存在着。其中最为不能忽视的就是，美国部分居民的贫困问题,它毕竟还是美国经济发展的绊脚石之一。

[Key words]: America;poverty;poor;social problem;black

In our mind, America is always considered as the symbol of wealth.Nevertheless, we should not just pay attention to one side of the society.And we need to focus on the other side of it.Every country has its social problems, so does America.Although America is the richest country in the world and has the best conditions to provide free medical service to the entire people, the government of USA doesn’t offer it to all citizens.And many managers of companies use their power to snatch the greed of the top executives.Further more, drug is a major offense in poor communities and some ethnic minority people have been involve in street drug dealing instead of border smuggling.But the most serious social problem as I am concerned is the poverty.Gregg Easterbrook has published his book, The Progress Parabox(2003), whose secondary title is ,”How life gets better while people fell worse.” The author thinks that many Americans confound what they need and what they want.They will never care about whether they need the new products or not and buy them as soon as they are put into the market.For the credit card is very convenient, it is easy to make Americans owe a lot of debts: everyone owes about 3500 dollars in average.A part of their spiritual and financial stress derives form this.This blindness causes the waste of citizens’ wealth, and makes the poor poorer.There are a great number of Americans lead a poor life.And the majority of them are ordinary people who are always working hard to earn more money to support a family.In the United States, a family of four with an annual income of about 13,000 dollars or less is identified as living in poverty and in need of help, for the reason that the lowest salary made by the government is too low: 5.15 dollars.If the average lowest salary of the whole America increases to 10 dollars, this problem will be solved.But in case that the government does so, the entire society will pay for the development of the poor people’s life.The phenomena of poverty exist all the time.Viewed from a historical perspective, local governments made efforts to provide the poorest with certain amount of money for them to deal with difficult situations.Feeling that the aid would undermine the principle of self-reliance, some people, even in a desperate condition, might refuse to accept such a kind of aids.However, this small amount of aids did help a lot of people, including many immigrants,get out of the difficulties they were facing.In the USA, about 90% of the population is well-off enough to expect a brighter future.The USA still has one of the highest standards of living in the world, although, at the present time , 10% are below what the Government considers to be the “poverty line.” While these underprivileged people receive help from the Government, they have no high hopes for their future.It is from this “underclass,” and those who take advantage of it, that most of the violence springs—— the violence which is one of the least pleasant aspects of American society.There is no social hierarchy to prevent people from competing with each other in theory, but in reality, many black people and ethnic minorities could not hold equal opportunities as European immigrants did.As a result, many blacks and ethnic minorities became the poor and unemployed.What’s worse, the government can not offer some available policies to give all the citizens the equal treatment to receive education.Because of the lack of practical skills and enough education, the employ rates of the black is low.The racial discriminate also does some bad effects on the black’s life.The white refuse to live together with them.So they have to move to a place after another.As a consequence, the slum and the area of racial separation are born.The black are always struggling for their poor life , but receiving little.As for me, the government of USA should take more measures to improve the problem of poverty.First, the social welfare system should be perfect all the while.Since the New Deal period when President Roosevelt took office, the United States has maintained an effective public welfare system by giving various financial aids to the needed so as to help stabilize the society and the nation.Secondly, the equal rights should be provided to everyone, no matter what color their skin is.As Barack Obama becomes the US President-elect, I believe that the social status of the black will change to a higher standard.So they will also get more chances to be educated and to be employed.At last, Americans should keep working hard and be hopeful of their future.They are citizens of the richest country in the world.They should be confident of their government.Obama will give them a new time to get rid of the financial crisis, to develop the economy and to say goodbye to poverty.【参考文献】：《美国社会与文化》，江宁康，南京：东南大学出版社
