这是个关于culture shock的故事，我却不知道下面为什么salesman要笑jim!
你知道吗？
Jim lived in an area in the USA that didn’t have public transportation, so he had to buy a car. The salesman asked Jim to take the car for a drive, and Jim drove around and knew it was the car he wanted .It was expensive; the sign on the car said with all the options (air conditioning, speed control and so forth) the car cost $19,500. Jim knew he could get a car for less money if he ordered one without all the fancy options, and if he bought it “on time”, he could afford it.
When he got back, Jim told the salesman he would take the car. The salesman said,” You will? Do you know how much the car is?” Jim replied,” yes, I saw the price on the window and that will be okey.”
The next time he picked up the car, he noticed the salespeople stopped what they were doing and looked at him. He could hear them laughing and feel they were laughing at him. A salesman asked if he had any friends who would like to buy a car.
