I once became hopelessly lost in the city of Chengdu, which is in central China. Getting lost in a city wasn’t anything new to me, I felt this was the only way to really see a city, you only know a place once you need to find your way out of it. None-the-less my wife and I after spending the day just walking anyway we wanted were quite lost, to the point that we couldn’t find where we thought were on a map.
我曾在中国中部的成都市迷失过，而在城市中迷路对我来说并不陌生。我觉得只有真正需要在一个城市中找到出口，你才能真正了解那个地方。尽管如此，我和妻子在整整一天漫无目的地漫步后，变得相当迷茫，以至于我们找不到在地图上认为自己所在的位置

Eventually, I had to ask someone for directions. In the part of the city we were, it was surprisingly quiet. I saw a woman standing near the street waiting to cross. Now, the problem I had was almost no one we met while we were there spoke English, so I wasn’t sure how I was going to ask her for help. I came up behind and said “excuse me” to which she didn’t answer, after the second attempt I walk around her and said “excuse me” again, to which she got a huge fright, I thought she was going to give me a fat slap in the face, but I also saw she was actually on a phone call.
最终，我不得不向别人寻求帮助。在我们所在的城市区域，出奇地安静。我看到一位站在街边等待过马路的女士。问题是，在我们在那里的时候，几乎没有人能说英语，所以我不确定该如何向她寻求帮助。我从她身后走过去说了声“打扰一下”，她没有回答，第二次尝试后，我走到她前面说了声“打扰一下”，她吓了一大跳，我以为她要给我一记耳光，但我也看到她实际上正在接电话。

After apologising profusely in some broken Mandarin I learnt while there and walking away, she started shouting at me. Well, it wasn’t shouting as I later discovered but let’s just say talking very loudly and gesturing me to ask what I wanted. So, after showing her the map with an “I don't know where I am” expression. She then put her hand up palm out in a manner telling me to wait, quite sternly.
在我用一些在那里学到的蹩脚的普通话向她道歉并离开后，她开始冲我大喊。后来我发现她并不是喊叫，只是用很大的声音和手势向我询问我想要什么。于是，我向她展示了地图，并用一种“我不知道我在哪”的表情。然后，她伸出手让我稍等一下。

Next thing, she whips out her phone, makes a call, and starts what sounds like a massive argument with someone on the other side, then suddenly stops and passes me the phone and says quietly sternly “take it” (well that’s what I think she said). I take the phone and say “Hi - my name is Gert”, on the other side is a male voice and in the calmest most perfect English says: “Hi - I’m the brother of the lady you just spoke to, she called me and said it looks like you’re lost. If you can tell me where you’re trying to go, then I can tell her how to help you.” - to which I reply “Thank you very much ..” and proceed to explain where we want to go. He then tells me to hand the phone back to his sister. After handing it back to her, they again proceed to have what I interpret as a huge argument. Once done, shes hands the phone back to me and he proceeds to explain how and where I need to go, to find a taxi and specifically how and to instruct the taxi driver. Thanking him and apologising to have wasted his time. He graciously says he didn’t mind and says it’s not every day his sister calls him in Hong Kong…..
接下来，她掏出手机，打了个电话，开始和另一边的人发生大规模争吵，然后突然停下来，把电话递给我，悄悄地严厉地说“拿去”（嗯，我想她是这么说的）。我拿起电话说“嗨——我叫格特”，另一边是一个男声，用最平静、最完美的英语说：“嗨——我是你刚才和她说话的那位女士的兄弟，她打电话给我，说你好像迷路了。如果你能告诉我你想去哪里，那么我可以告诉她如何帮助你“——我回答说”非常感谢......“，然后继续解释我们想去哪里。然后他让我把手机还给他姐姐。在把手机交还给她后，他们再次大声的争吵。完成后，她把手机还给我，他继续解释我需要如何以及去哪里，找到出租车，特别是如何并指导出租车司机。感谢他，并为浪费他的时间而道歉。他客气地说他不介意，并说他姐姐在香港不是每天都给他打电话......

He was in Hong Kong 1650 Km / 1025 Miles away and I’m standing somewhere in Chengdu on the street side next to his sister. After giving her the phone back and saying thanking in Mandarin a few times, her face changes and she flashes me this huge and incredibly warm smile.
他在1650公里/1025英里外的香港，我站在成都的某个地方，在他姐姐旁边的街边。在把手机还给她并用普通话说了几句谢谢之后，她的脸色变了，她向我露出了这个灿烂而温暖微笑。

See, what I learnt was that often one judges by your cultural norms, and cultures across the globe are quite different. What I had interpreted as cross or angry, even rude was actually just matter-of-fact and what I had interpreted as an argument was what I later learnt, just the exuberant and honest manner in which many Chinese converse. The fact of the matter was this lady had no problem just calling her brother across the country for no other reason than she needed him to help these tourists who look lost.
我学到的是，人们经常根据他们的文化标准来评判，而世界各地的文化是非常不同的。我最初认为的生气的粗鲁的交流实际上只是一种事实陈述，后来我了解到，实际上只是许多中国人热情而真实的交流方式。事实上，这位女士毫不犹豫的打电话给她在外地的兄弟，没有别的原因，只是因为她想帮助这两个看起来迷路了的游客。

Don’t judge another culture or as in this case the Chinese in relation to your cultural norms, judge on someone's actions. I backpacked through China from top to bottom (literally) and my general interaction was one of warmth and welcome.
不要根据自己的文化标准来判断另一种文化，或者在这种情况下是与中国人有关的文化标准，要根据一个人的行为来判断。我在中国走南闯北，我的总体感受是热情而受欢迎的。

As a Hunaner I agree with you, but actually the idea that whispering is a sign of politeness is only popular among young people . You can't understand loud talking because you've been taught to tell you to keep your voice down. My grandparents, who only went to the fifth grade, were not taught to speak in a low voice; everyone in their generation spoke loudly. But it was definitely not rude, they were very warm and kind.
作为一个湖南人，我同意你的看法，但实际上，低声礼貌的交谈只在年轻人中流行。你不理解大声说话，因为你被教导要压低声音说话。我的爷爷奶奶只上了五年级，没人教导他们低声说话;他们这一代人都大声说话。但这绝对不是粗鲁的，他们非常热情和善良。

About a year after arriving in Sydney Australia, i heard what i thought were two young fellas swearing at each other. Many moons later, i figured out that they were saying goodbye to each other. Yea, cultural, bcos where i grew up, if you hear loud voices, it means there's a fight developing.

Haha, I really enjoyed this story. have visited China on three occasions, and staying at my now ex future mother in laws house in Dandong. I remember the first time I was there. She was speaking to a sister on the phone, and I finally asked my fiancé why was she so mad? Why is she yelling? She laughed and told her mom what I said and they both laughed. Over time, it seemed that more women than men would talk really loud. I was told that it was due to living in large populations and also working in loud factories. I am not sure the real reason, but it is true they talk loud haha. It is also true that everyone, including strangers were very polite. Dandong is not a large city, so the people didn’t see too many western people. I had noticed that the woman especially would always stare at me, and to be honest in was not comfortable because I wasn’t sure if it was friendly or not. . So one day I decided to try something. I decided that regardless of age, the next women I found staring at me I would look into her eyes and smile broadly. So I did that, and the smile coming back to me was incredible, so warm and friendly. I realized that my smile to her was to be a story she would tell to all her friends haha.
哈哈，我真的很喜欢这个故事。我曾经三次访问过中国，在丹东住在我未来岳母的家里。我记得我第一次在那里的时候，她正在和一个姐姐通电话，我最后问我的未婚妻为什么她那么生气？她为什么在大声说话？她笑了笑，告诉她妈妈我说了什么，她们俩都笑了。后来我了解到，一般女性比男性更喜欢大声说话。我被告知这是因为生活在人口密集的地方，还有在嘈杂的工厂工作。我不确定真正的原因，但确实他们说话声音很大，哈哈。但是，每个人，包括陌生人都非常有礼貌。丹东不是一个大城市，所以人们不太常见到外国人。我注意到女性尤其总是盯着我看，老实说，我感到有些不舒服，因为我不确定这是友好的还是不友好的。所以有一天我决定尝试一些不同。我决定无论什么年龄，下一个盯着我看的女性，我都会直视她的眼睛，然后灿烂的微笑。然后我就这么做了，她回报给我的笑容令人难以置信，是如此温暖和友好。我意识到，我对她的微笑将成为她向所有朋友讲述的一个故事，哈哈。

People from some provinces of China speak Really Loud so to outsiders it sounds like they’re angry or arguing, when they’re actually talking normally. Someone joked to me that it’s because they traditionally lived in mountainous areas so they had to scream at each other to be heard at the other side of the mountain (not sure to which extent this is true).
来自中国一些省份的人说话声音很大，所以在外人看来，他们听起来像是在生气或争吵，而实际上他们说话是正常的。有人开玩笑说，这是因为他们传统上住在山区，所以他们不得不互相大喊才能在山的另一边听到（不确定这在多大程度上是真的）。

My ningbo Aunt speaks so loud it sounds like she has a shouting match with her family every time she talks. Just the way she is.

Emmmmm just providing another fact. Making a phone call from Chengdu to Hongkong is something like an international call, which takes about a 10 times of price for a phone call within borders. And that’s also the reason why the lady didn’t call her brother frequently.
Emmmmm只是提供了另一个事实。从成都打到香港的电话有点像国际电话，在境内打电话大约需要10倍的价格。这也是这位女士不经常给哥哥打电话的原因

When I’m lost in Chinese cities I stop a taxi and give them my destination written on a piece of paper (in Chinese characters, supplied by a friend or hotel staff). Taxis are relatively cheap in China.
当我在中国城市迷路时，我会拦下一辆出租车，告诉他们我的目的地，写在一张纸上（用汉字写，由朋友或酒店工作人员提供）。出租车在中国相对便宜。

However, I prefer to use the mobile app to take a taxi. Some taxi drivers may choose to take a detour because you are a foreigner, making you pay more.
但是，我更喜欢软件打车。一些出租车司机可能会因为你是外国人而选择绕道而行，让你付更多的钱。

Because Chinese is a tonal language, one of the easiest ways to add emphasis is to increase volume. It’s also done to add certainty/authority or add urgency. Also, keep in mind that a lot of people in China are used to being in a crowd VERY often, so you tend to speak louder in general. When I first arrived in China I thought people were arguing constantly too, but later you realize its usually just a discussion on what to have for dinner.
因为中文是一种声调语言，所以增加重音的最简单方法之一就是增加音量。这样做也是为了增加确定性/权威性或增加紧迫性。另外，中国很多人都挤在人群中，所以通常倾向于大声说话。当我刚到中国时，我以为人们也在不断争吵，但后来你意识到这通常只是讨论晚餐吃什么。
