　　Time talks. It speaks more plainly (明白地)than words. Time communicates (交流) in many ways.

　　Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. Factory managers in the United States fully realize the importance of an announcement made during the middle of the morning or afternoon that takes everyone away from his work.

　　In the United States, it is not customary (通常的，习惯的) to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving(刮脸) or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very urgent(紧急的) and requires immediate attention. It is the same with telephone calls made after 11:00 p. m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he probably thinks it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates is important.

　　The meanings of time differ in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstanding arises (出现) between people from cultures(文化) that treat time differently. In the United States, people tend (趋向于) to think of time as something fixed in nature, something from which one can not escape. As a rile, Americans think of time as a road into the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections(段) , which are to be kept separate…“one thing at a time”. Thus, an American may feel angry when he has made an appointment (约会) with someone and then finds a lot of other things happening at the same time.

　　Americans look ahead and are concerned(与……有关系)almost entirely with the future. The American idea of the future is limited, however. It is the foreseeable future and not the future of involving(牵连) many centuries.

　　Since time has much different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.
