案例分析 Directions: In this section you are supposed to analyze the following cases from the perspective of intercultural communication. Then write down the answers on the Answer Sheet. The American secretary at the Foreign Student Affairs Office always smiles at every foreign student who visits there. A young man from the Middle East misunderstands the smile and thinks that the American lady is in love with him. But one day he ran into her in the street and greeted her, yet she passed by as if she did not recognize him. Angrily, he asked his American roommate: "Why are Americans such hypocrites?" His roommate was surprised. “Why do you think so?” Questions for Discussion: 1. Why do you think the young man from the Middle East got angry? Try to explain it from a cross-cultural angle. 2. What do you think his roommate can do to help him better understand the situation?
