There are a couple of dangerous topics of conversation: age and money. Age is not treated at something very special, unless someone is very old: “Isn’t she wonderful for her age!” and there are no special rules or signs of extra espect for elderly people . Anyway , Americans always want to look younger than they really are, so don’t expect an accurate reply!
Income is a very private matter,and you’d do well to avoid asking how much people earn , although some people may not only be open about it, but show off their wealth. We don’t ask hoe much things cost,either.
But what we don’tlike is silence, and almost anything is better than the embarrassment of a quite party and silent guests.

对话中有几个危险的话题：年龄和金钱。年龄并不是一个很特殊的话题，除非某人非常老：“以她的年龄，她是不是很棒！”，对于老人，也没有特别的规则或特别的迹象。无论如何，美国人总是想看起来比他们的实际年龄年轻，因此不要指望得到确切的回答！

收入是个非常私人的事情，如果避免问人们赚多少钱，你就没问题，虽然有些人可能不仅对此话题很开放，而且显示他们的财富。我们也不问东西值多少钱。但是我们不喜欢沉默，什么都比一个安静的派对和沉默的客人（带来）的窘迫好。
