Friendship patterns

The American finds his friends next door and among those with whom he works, it has been noted that we take people up quickly and drop them just as quickly. Occasionally a friendship formed during schooldays will persist, but this is rate. For us there are few

well-defined rules governing the obligation of friendship. It is difficult to say at which point our friendship gives way to business opportunity (机会主义) or pressure from above. In this we differ from many other people in the world. As a general rule, in foreign countries

friendships are not formed as quickly as in the United States but go much deeper, last long, and involve real obligations. For example:

It is important to stress that in the Middle East and Latin America your “Friends” will not let you down. The fact that they personally are in trouble is never an excuse for failing their friends. They are supposed to look out for your interests.

Friends and family around the world represent a sort of social insurance that would be difficult to find in the United States. We do not use our friends to help us out in disaster as much as we do as a means of getting ahead –or, at least, of getting the job done. The United States systems work by means of a series of closely tabulated (把。。列成表格) favors and obligations carefully doled out (以小份分给;少量地发给)where they will do the most good. And the least that we expect in exchange for a favor is gratitude.
