（提示）
In the United States,is is not usual to telephone someone early in the morning.If you telephone early in the day.While he is shaving or having breakfast,the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention.So it is with the telephone calls made after 11:00 pm.If someone receives a call during sleeping hours,he may think that it's a matter of life and death.The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
In social life,time plays a very important part.In the USA guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party reaches them only three or four days before the party date.But it is not true in all countries.In other areas of the world,it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time is not the same in different cultures that treat time differently,being on time is valued highly in American life,for example.If people are not on time,they may be regaeded as impolite or not fully responsible.In the USA no one would think of keeping a business friend for an hour,it would be too impolite.A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a shout apology.It he is less than 5 minutes late,he will say a few words of explanation,though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.

在美国,人们通常不会在早晨比较早的时候给别人打电话.因为那个时候对方通常是在刮胡子或者在吃早餐.这个时候打电话表明了事情很紧急需要立刻做出反应.晚间11点以后的电话也有着相同的意思,如果在睡觉时间接到电话一般是事关性命.选择打电话的时间是十分重要的.
在社交生活中时间扮演着一个十分重要的角色.在美国,如果你收到一份晚宴派对的邀请是在派对举行时间的3道天前,那么你会觉得自己并不是很受重视的,但是并不是所有国家都如此.在世界上其他的地区,很早的预约是被认为很愚蠢的,因为多于一个星期的预约被认为是很容易忘记的.在不同文化里大家对时间的认识也不相同.准时是美国生活中一个重要的原则,例如不准时的人会被认为是不礼貌或者是不可靠的.在美国没有人会让生意伙伴等1个小时,那样太不礼貌了.迟到5分钟的人应该表示歉意.迟到5分钟以内会做一个简单的解释,可能只有几个词而已.
