Ⅳ. Case study
(1) Analyze the case and try to find the misunderstanding between the girl
and the westerner.
A westerner invited a Chinese girl to have lunch and take a tour around the British Parliament. In fact, the girl didn't have the lunch just because when the westerner asked her \n they didn't have lunch together .
(2) Can you find some differences in hospitality between a Chinese and English? What are the reasons?
An English guest: Each time a new dish arrived his parents would lean over and load my plate with tasty morsels. As they had taken all the trouble to cook it I just had to polish it off. As soon as my plate was empty they would put more on. Of course, I felt duty-bound to ear that too.
A Chinese guest: Can you imagine how many dishes I had? One one -- a stew with meat and vegetables. The meat was over done and too hard to eat; green vegetables were no longer green. They never put food on your plate but just ask you to help yourself. If you, as a guest, are shy or modest, waiting for the food to be put on your plate, you will remain half-starved.

一位英国客人：每次一道新菜到他的父母会过来载我的板的美味佳肴。他们把所有的麻烦把我刚刚擦亮它。一旦我的盘子是空的他们会把更多的。当然，我觉得有义务的耳朵太。
中国客人：你能想象我有多少道菜？一一——一个有肉和蔬菜炖。这肉熟透，太硬吃绿色蔬菜不再绿。他们从不把盘子里的食物只是问你帮助你自己。如果你，作为一个客人，害羞和谦虚，等待食物被放在你的盘子上，你仍会饿死。
