英国人认为家是一个保护他们免受外界打扰的地方,而不是让其他外人观赏和享受的.对它们来说,家是一个私人的地方,远离了生活的烦扰.对于美国人来说,家是自我的延伸,表达自我的一种方式.所以美国人非常喜欢宴请客人.家对于美国人来说,是一个与朋友享受乐趣,分享生活的地方.家里通常有个大的娱乐区,他们可以看电视上的体育赛事,屋外也有烧烤的地方.反之,英国人更喜欢在公众场合,例如酒吧和公园和朋友共聚.几乎没什么英国人会邀请朋友去家里玩.有可能你和某个人共事或共邻好久,但你不会有机会到他的家里去.如果你被邀请了,那是极好的.带点喝的或者吃的过去是不错的主意,例如一瓶红酒或一盒巧克力.在美国红酒和巧克力也是不错的访友佳品.

English people think that the home is a place to protect themselves from the outside world, not one for others to see and enjoy. For them, their house is a personal place in which they go to hide away from the troubles of life.
To the Americans, their home is an expression of themselves, a place to show others what kind of people they are. So they would very much like to have visitors in their house and see it. Americans also want their home to be a plac where they can have fun and share their lives with their friends. They often have a large entertainment area in their house so that they can watch sports on TV. They also have an outside area for barbeques.
English people, on the other hand, usually spend much more time with friends at public places like parks or pubs. Few people would be invited an Englishman's home. You could work with a person or live next door to someone for year,, but you could never see the inside of his home.
If you are invited, that is great. It's a good idea to bring something to drink or eat, such as a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates,. You can do the same thing in an American home, too. ^
Once inside the house, the rules change again. Don't ask to see more than what the English people show you. Never ask how much their house or any of the things in it cost. The Americans, on the other hand, may be glad to show you around their house. They will be pleased when you show your interest and ask how expensive something was.
Both English and American people will have a lot of chat, and a drink or two. before the meal. When you start to eat. you should say how tasty the food is and ask something about it. Remember, never eat with your mouth open and make any noise while you eat.
Another rule in both countries is not to show your own opinion about their country or its customs. Most people are proud of their country and their way of doing things, even though they are not happy with it! So it is best just to listen and smile politely.
Remember these home rules, and you will be invited back again.
