中西方思维方式差异（Differences between Chinese and Western modes of thinking） I. examples of differences between Chinese and Western modes of thinking We can see the difference between different ways of thinking through an amusing joke: the desire of the Germans and the French to die before they can tell you the difference between the two. You ask the French, whats your biggest wish before you die? The Frenchman replied, I want a glass of the best champagne.. Ask the German again, and he would say, if I still have the strength, I want to make another report.. A way of thinking often permeates all fields, and even the phenomena we see often reflect the way of thinking. For example, an American writes a letter to a Chinese, and a Chinese reads an American letter. He gets angry immediately at first sight. Because Americans at the beginning, the letter will come straight to the point, their demands on the front, behind only say a few polite words. In order to keep the balance of mind, the Chinese people first look behind the American letters. And Americans look at Chinese letters, beginning to see the more confused, do not know what the other side to explain, the front is greeting, and so on. Americans read letters from the Chinese people, too. The different ways of writing reflect different ways of thinking. There is a classic example: the Germans and the Japanese, the Chinese take the train from Frankfurt, Germany to Paris, and the 3 men sit in one compartment. A guest arrived on the way and the guest put the fish bowl in his hand on the empty seat. The German began to ask, can you tell me the name of the fish? What are its biological categories and characteristics? What are their scientific meanings? After listening to the Germans, the Japanese asked, can you introduce this kind of fish to our country? According to Japans climate, water temperature and water quality, can this fish grow? Its the turn of the Chinese people to ask, is this fish delicious, braised or steamed? Thi
