A: Did you have a good time at Zhang’s
birthday party?

they treated my present. I gave Zhang the
latest tapes from the U.K. as a birthday
present when I got inside the door and what
do you think happened?
A: What?
B: Nothing. They only said “thank you”,
but then just put them away in a
corner. I really didn’t know why.
Didn’t they like them?
A: Oh, That’s misunderstanding. In the
west, it’s regarded as polite to open
gifts as soon as they are given to
express appreciation.
But in China, if you did that, you might
be thought greedy (贪婪的). So Chinese
people tend to open the gifts after the
visitors have left.
