17、urteous (謙恭有禮的) and helpful most Americans were to them.To be fair，this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians，and should best be considered North American.There are，of course，exceptions.Smallminded officials，rude waiters，and illmannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US
18、.Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment.For a long period of time and in many parts of the country，a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence.Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one to another.
19、Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion，and brought news of the outside world.The cruel realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality.Someone traveling alone，if hungry，injured，or ill，often had nowhere to turn to except the nearest cabin or settlement.It was no

24、tterns.Visitors who fail to“translate”cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions.For example，when an American uses the word“friend”，the cultural implications of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitors language and culture.It takes more than a brief encounter (邂
