Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you,specifically,what the values are which Americans live by.They have never given the matter any thought.
Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to life in the United States.This has caused me to try to look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors.I am confident that the values listed in this booklet describe most (but not all )Americans,and that understanding these values can help you,the international visitor,understand Americans.
It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these 13 values are ingrained in Americans,they will then be able to understand 95% of American actions — actions which might otherwise appear “strange,” “confusing,” or “unbelievable” when evaluated from the perspective of the foreigner's own society and its values.
The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs,assumptions and values of that particular group.When you encounter an action,or hear a statement in the United States which surprises you,try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed in this booklet.

大多数的美国人会有困难的时候告诉你,确切地说,价值观是什么,美国人的生活.他们从来没有给出任何想这件事.

我相信,如果外国游客真的了解深入这些13价值观是深深扎根于美国,那时他们能理解95%的美国行动,行动,否则可能出现“奇异的”、“困惑”,或“难以置信”的视角,在评价的外国人的社会及其价值观的控诉.
一个人的行为的不同或文化意义,只有当这些基本信仰和价值观,假设某个特定的群体.当你遇到一个行动,或听到一个声明,在美国,令你惊奇,试着把它看作一个表达式的一个或多个值列在这本小册子.
