美国文化

Naval Ravikant 2005-11-29

一位白人且在美国出生的朋友曾评论说,我很幸运出生在一个伟大的文化(印度)中,而美国人没有文化。并非如此。她生活在其中太久,以至于她就像美国文化海洋中的一条鱼——文化对她来说已不可见。人们成群结队地离开世界来到美国,就是为了这种文化。自由、个人自由、开放的文化,以及免受人类最大屠杀者——政府侵害的保护。我宁愿选择这些,而不是色彩鲜艳的服装和辛辣的食物。

American Culture

A caucasian and U.S. born friend once opined that I was lucky to have been born in a great culture (India), and that Americans have no culture. Not so. She has been living in it for so long that she is a fish in the American cultural ocean – it’s invisible. People leave the world in droves to come to America, for the culture. The culture of freedom, individual liberty, open-ness, and protection from the greatest slaughterer of mankind, government. I’ll take that any day over colorful clothing and spicy food.
