Chinese Hospitality—Overdone
Joe is an Assistant Professor in an American university.Two years ago,he made friends with Hong.a Chinese visiting scholar in another American university when he was in the final year of his Ph.D program.He began teaching in a university after graduation.Hong,who had been back to China,recommended Joe to her university.Soon,Joe was invited by Hong's university for a five-day visit to give lectures.
Joe was very excited about the trip,as it was his first time in China.Hong and the Chair of her department met him at the airport,then put him up in a nice hotel.They had arranged a big dinner for him for the evening and made Joe feel very welcome.At the end of the evening.Hong gave him the itinerary for the next few days.Apart from the lectures,all his time would be filled with meals,concerts,shopping,and a one-day trip to a nearby resort,all paid for by the university.Joe had thought he would have time to explore the city and the area,but the itinerary would leave him no free time.
Joe was grateful to Hong and the host department who took great care of him during his visit.At the end of the visit.He insisted in treating Hong and the Department Chair to dinner to thank them.But they said a dinner had been arranged.Joe was very frustrated.He was not very happy at the dinner,and did not show any enthusiasm when the Department Chair said that they hoped Joe would come back for another visit.
When it came time for Joe to leave,he did not know what to say.He knew he should be grateful for everything Hong had done for him.but he had also felt deprived and trapped since he never found the time to do anything by himself.The tight itinerary never allowed him to explore on his own; he felt especially annoyed that all the plans had been made without consulting him,Ironically,as soon as Joe left,Hong was very relieved.She felt Joe's visit had been successful but it had required most of her time to make sure that Joe's visit would he a smooth one.She never knew that Joe,still upset about the tight control placed on his schedule,complained to the person sitting next to him on the plane,"While in China,I sometimes felt like a prisoner!"

中国人热情好客的有些过度了.
Joe是一所美国大学的助理教授,两年前他与一个叫hong的来自另一所美国大学的访问学者交上了朋友,hong当时在进行他博士学位的最后一年.毕业后在一所大学教书.回到中国的hong建议joe去她所在的大学看一看.不久之后,joe收到了来自hong所在大学发来的5天的访问及讲座邀请.
joe因为是第一次去中国而感到十分的兴奋.hong和她的部门负责人在机场接到joe然后把他安排到一家很不错的宾馆.他们还为他安排了一顿丰盛的晚餐,这使JOE感到他们十分欢迎自己来访.
在晚饭结束后,hong给joe介绍了他们为他安排的这几天的行程,除了在学校的讲座,他的这几天被满满地安排了各种活动,比如聚餐,观看演出,购物,甚至还有一天会去郊外的度假村.所有开支由学校负责.joe本以为自己可以用这几天好好探索一下这个城市及自己感兴趣的东西,但是这个行程表貌似没有留给他任何自由活动时间.
joe非常感谢hong以及校方对他的热情体贴的招待,在访问的最后,joe坚持要请hong以及招待他的部门吃饭作为感谢.但是他们却说他们已经赶排好了晚饭,joe十分的沮丧.joe在晚餐期间表现得不是很开心,并且对部门负责人提出的再次访问并没有太大的热情.
当joe要离开的时候,他却不知道要说些什么.他知道他应该对hong等人的招待感到十分的感谢.但是同时,在访问期间由于校方没有留给他任何自己支配的时间而使他感到十分无力以及被束缚.紧张的行程没有留给他任何自由时间,最让他感到烦恼的是,这个行程是在没有和他商讨的情况下而定的.很讽刺的是,hong在joe走后感到十分的宽慰,因为虽然这次访问十分的成功,但是占用了她大部分时间去确保一切进行的顺利.她永远不知道,joe一直在为那给他安排的紧张的行程而感到十分郁闷.他在飞机上的时候还在不停的向邻座的人抱怨：“我在中国访问的时候,就感觉像一个被关押的罪犯一样!”
