一位拉丁孤胆英雄
戈登：你好，欢迎欢迎。
莫莉：多谢，你最近过得如何？
戈登：很好，你呢？
莫莉：我也做得不错。我一直在跟销售部的老头约翰逊谈话，他的演讲总是激励着我提高我的销售业绩。
戈登：干得不错，女孩！那是被激励起来的一种方法！
莫莉：那么你的动力来自何方呢？
戈登：实际上我的动力来自那个拉丁明星瑞奇·玛丁。他的音乐是他创造的源泉。
莫莉：小伙子，这是你激励自己的方法。他的舞蹈音乐真的激励你更努力地工作吗？
戈登：我知道这不是传统意义上的动力，可是这却很管用。每次我听到瑞奇的歌我的双脚就会禁不住踩着节奏，我的头脑里也会灵感汩汩地涌现出来。
莫莉：随便怎么都行。我们每个人都有自己特殊的动力。
你能教我一首瑞奇的歌吗？
戈登：我的荣幸。也许老约翰逊想跟着一起唱。
莫莉：做梦去吧。

1. Only say maybe when you are unsure. If you know you can't do something just say no. Saying maybe, and then not showing up is rude if you do it too much.
当你感到不太确定的时候，只说也许。如果你知道你不能做某事的时候，只要说不就可以了。如果你当时说了也许可以做，但是最后却无法完成，这样的情况多了以后就显得你没有礼貌，缺乏教养。
Example: "Can you bring the water for dinner?"
举例：“你能在晚宴的时候带来水吗？”
"Maybe, I will have to see."
“也许，到时候再说。”
"That's no good, I need a yes or a no."
“这样可不太好，我需要一个肯定的是或不是的答复。”

2. Honesty is a big deal in the West. Always tell the truth. NEVER CHEAT ON TESTS! It is a crime in the USA to cheat on a University test. Not only will you fail the test, you will be kicked out of the class and maybe the school. They will not give you back your tuition, so you will lose money. Cheating is a big deal in the West. Never cheat.
在西方，诚实非常重要。永远要讲真话。永远不要在考试时作弊！在西方，在大学考试中作弊是被视为犯罪的欺骗行为。一旦发现，不仅会考试不及格，而且会被勒令离开班级或甚至勒令退学。这样一来，你先前所交的学费也不会被退回，你将会遭受经济损失。在西方，考试作弊或欺骗是很严重的事情，所以永远记着不要欺骗。
3. If you give your friend the answers to a test, like the GRE's or TOFEL, or a classroom test, you are still cheating. Don't help your friend cheat. If you do, you will get in trouble, and you will get kicked out.
如果你在考试时，如考TOEFL 或GRE 或者学期考试中给朋友传递答案，这也算作弊行为。不要帮助你的朋友做弊，如果你这样做了，就会惹麻烦，你就会被开除。
4. Don't cheat yourself. We understand a little cheating is ok in China, but in the West no cheating is ok. If you have a test, study hard. When you do a good job, you will feel great! You will feel like a million bucks! Thank you for not cheating.
不要欺骗自己。我们了解在中国，一些小的欺骗行为不算很严重的事情，但是在西方，最好不要作弊。如果你要参加一个考试，那么就刻苦学习。当你在考试中发挥出色的时候，你会感到非常有成就感的！你会觉得自己象一个百万富翁似的！谢谢你从不作弊。
