Could you tell me about the U.S culture?
America was created by people who ran from the poverty and tyranny of their home countries to tame a wilderness in North America. It took a lot of courage and independent spirit to do that, and you wouldn’t survive without help from your neighbors. Then they formed a government that was very protective of individual rights, to make sure no monarch or dictator could subjugate them again..
The legacy of that beginning remains today:
你能向我介绍美国的文化底蕴吗？
美国是由那些逃离家乡的贫困和压迫，来到北美开拓荒野的人们所建立的。这需要极大的勇气和独立精神，没有邻里的帮助，生存几乎是不可能的。随后，他们建立了一个非常注重保护个人权利的政府，以确保再也没有君主或独裁者能够征服他们。
这段历史的遗产至今仍在：

Americans tend to be hard-working and materialistic. They continue to work hard to make a better life for themselves and their children. It’s called the “American work ethic”. Work is good - Idleness is bad, even if you are rich.
Americans are incredibly social. They greet you on the street for no reason. They engage in conversation at the drop of a hat. In small towns, everyone knows everyone else’s business. You can’t shut them up.
They follow “rules” and cooperate with the government and the police. It is a government, “of the people, by the people, for the people”. But it extends well beyond “government”, to things like waiting on line and being courteous in traffic.
美国人通常勤奋工作，追求物质生活。他们努力工作，以期为自己和子女创造更好的生活条件，这被称为“美国工作精神”。在他们看来，即便你已经很富有,工作是美德，懒惰则是恶习.
美国人极其社交。他们会无缘无故地在街上向你打招呼，随时准备与人交谈。在小镇上，每个人都对彼此的生活了如指掌，他们总是滔滔不绝。
他们遵守“规则”，与政府和警察合作。这是一个“民有、民治、民享”的政府。但这种合作精神远远超出了政府范畴，比如排队等候和在交通中的礼貌行为。

The independent streak must be genetic. If you want to anger an American, tell him he *must* do something. Doesn’t matter what it is, he’ll obxt. Americans must be convinced it’s their own idea before they’ll agree to anything. It also means they always want to be able to “do their own thing”. They really don’t want “public” anything - public transportation, public health, public whatever. They want their own that they alone can manage.
Creativity is highly valued. American schools emphasize it over memorization. A strong patent system protects people who come up with good ideas. “Rednecks” may be ridiculed for their impoverished lifestyle, but at the same time envied for their creative adaptions.
独立精神似乎是与生俱来的。如果你想激怒一个美国人，就告诉他他必须做某事。不管这件事是什么，他都会反对。美国人必须确信这是他们自己的主意，才会同意去做。这也意味着他们总是想要能够“走自己的路”。他们真的不喜欢“公共”的东西——公共交通、公共卫生、公共设施等等。他们想要的是完全由自己控制的私人财产。
创造力在这里备受推崇。美国学校更重视创造力而不是死记硬背。强大的专利体系保护那些有好主意的人。虽然“红脖子”可能因为他们贫困的生活方式而受到嘲笑，但同时他们因为创造性的适应能力而受到羡慕。

Benjamin Yates
Do Americans have a culture?
Yes we do. It is a mixture of all the European settlers and African cultures. We didn’t steal these cultures we inherited them. And then after a few decades we made our own cultural trademarks. The Cowboy is wholly American. Our movies, music, and literature has been our number one export for years. Superhero’s, Baseball, Rock and Roll, all created by and a part of American culture. Now a lot of people seem to think white Americans have no culture, but those people are a bunch of white hating racists that think modern America should be split into white America and black American culture. That isn’t what America is. We are supposed to all be American. People need to quit that nonsense.
美国人有自己独特的文化吗？
当然有。美国文化是欧洲移民和非洲文化融合的产物。我们并没有窃取这些文化，而是继承并发扬了它们。经过几十年的发展，我们形成了自己的文化特色。牛仔文化完全是美国独有的。我们的电影、音乐和文学作品多年来一直是我们最重要的文化输出。超级英雄、棒球、摇滚乐，这些都是由美国人创造并成为美国文化不可分割的一部分。
现在，有些人认为白人美国人没有自己的文化，但这些人其实是带有偏见的种族主义者，他们错误地认为现代美国应该被划分为白人文化和黑人文化。这种观点并不符合美国的实际情况。我们都应该认同自己是美国人。人们应该停止这种无意义的争论。

Malcolm MacNeil
Does the United States really have a culture?
Yes it does, the US is way more culturally homogenous than Americans realise largely because over the last 50 years or so American culture has kind of become a global default and people forget it exists. But go anywhere in the US from Florida to Hawaii to Alaska and people there will look, dress, act and think like Americans even if they themselves don’t actually realise it. In some ways they’ve actually become so homogenous they forget they exist.
美国确实有文化，而且美国的文化比许多美国人自己意识到的要更加统一。这主要是因为在过去的几十年里，美国文化逐渐成为了一种全球性的文化标准，以至于人们常常忘记了它的独特性。但无论你走到哪里，从佛罗里达到夏威夷，再到阿拉斯加，那里的人们在外观、穿着、行为和思维方式上都有着明显的美国特色，尽管他们自己可能并没有意识到这一点。在某种程度上，美国文化已经变得如此普遍，以至于人们甚至忘记了它的存在。

Apart from being funny this does cause legitimate problems sometimes, when an actual foreigner like me (especially a white native English speaker from a country most Americans consider quite similar to their own) does something really weird for them but normal back home rather than realising that I don’t know what I’m doing in the US people just think I’m absolutely nuts because a lot of them can’t see how someone would exist outside of the cultural defaults that are only really common in America but Americans think everyone holds.
当然，这种情况除了带来一些幽默感外，有时确实会引发一些真正的问题。比如我这样的外国人——尤其是像我这样来自一个大多数美国人认为与他们自己的国家非常相似的国家的白人母语英语者——做了一些在美国人看来非常奇怪的事情，但在我自己的国家却很正常。美国人并没有意识到我在美国可能不知道应该怎么做，他们只是觉得我疯了，因为很多人无法理解，怎么会有人在没有美国文化默认习惯的情况下生活，而这些习惯在美国人看来是全球普遍存在的。

Kelly La Rue
What defines American culture?
Anything is possible.
A world traveler once told me the one sentence she never heard in America is “It can’t be done”.
This can do attitude permeates the entire culture here. If we can envision it then it can be made so.
It is so engrained that we don’t notice it much less talk about it but if you want something you can get it or are at least free to try and it’s good to dream big.
美国文化的核心是什么？
那就是“一切皆有可能”。
一位环球旅行者告诉我，她在美国从未听到过的一句话是“这是不可能的”。
这种积极进取的态度贯穿了整个美国文化。如果我们能够想象得到，那么就有可能实现它。
这种信念已经深入人心，我们很少意识到它，也很少谈论它，但如果你有梦想，你就可以去追求，至少你有机会去尝试，而且有梦想总是好的。

Steve Hirsch
Could anybody tell me about American culture?
I don't think of America as having one culture. We have many cultures. It's Louis Armstrong and Bob Dylan, Herman Melville and Mark Twain, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen and Buster Keaton, Langston Hughes and HP Lovecraft, Grant Wood and Andrew Wyeth and so many others.
We don't have one culture, we have regions. It's the plains of Texas, the Grand Tetons, the Pacific Northwest and the New England Coast, the Mississippi Delta and Chicago Blues.
有人能告诉我美国文化是什么吗？
我不认为美国只有一种文化，我们有多种文化。它包括了路易斯·阿姆斯特朗和鲍勃·迪伦的音乐，赫尔曼·梅尔维尔和马克·吐温的文学，纳撒尼尔·霍桑和马丁·斯科塞斯的电影，伍迪·艾伦和巴斯特·基顿的喜剧，兰斯顿·休斯和H.P.洛夫克拉夫特的诗歌，格兰特·伍德和安德鲁·怀斯的绘画，以及更多其他文化元素。
我们不只有一种文化，我们有各个地区的独特文化。它是德克萨斯的广阔平原，大提顿的壮丽山峰，太平洋西北的自然风光和新英格兰的海岸线，密西西比三角洲的蓝调和芝加哥的都市文化。

It's Fried Chicken and corn bread, barbecue pork and baked beans, Starbucks and Jim Beam.
It's high brow and in bad taste. It's broadly popular and barely recognized. It's uplifting but sacrilegious.
American culture is whatever we make and call culture.
"Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes." Walt Whitman
它是炸鸡和玉米面包，烤猪肉和烤豆，星巴克咖啡和占边威士忌。
它是高雅艺术，也是通俗娱乐。它是广受欢迎的大众文化，也是小众的隐秘发现。它既鼓舞人心，又可能带有亵渎。
美国文化是我们创造并称之为文化的一切。
“我矛盾吗？很好，那么我就矛盾吧，我宽广，我包含了无数。”——沃尔特·惠特曼

Independence. Americans strongly believe in the concept of individualism. They consider themselves to be separate individuals who are in control of their own lives, rather than members of a close-knit, interdependent family, religious group, tribe, nation, or other group.
Equality. The American Declaration of Independence states that “all [people] are created equal,” and this belief is deeply embedded in their cultural values. Americans believe that all people are of equal standing, and are therefore uncomfortable with overt displays of respect such as being bowed to.
独立性。美国人深信个人主义，他们视自己为独立自主的个体，能够掌控自己的命运，而不是紧密相连、相互依赖的家庭、宗教团体、部落、民族或其他集体的成员。
平等。美国《独立宣言》中“人人生而平等”的理念，已经深入人心，成为他们文化价值观的核心。美国人认为每个人都应享有平等的地位，因此对于过分的礼节，如鞠躬等，会感到不自在。

Informality. This belief in equality causes Americans to be rather informal in their behavior towards other people. Don’t be surprised if store clerks and waiters introduce themselves by their first names. Many people visiting the US are surprised by the informality of American speech, dress, and posture. Don’t mistake this for rudeness or irreverence; it’s just a part of their culture!
Directness. Americans tend to value, frankness and openness in their dealings with other people. They believe that conflicts and disagreements are best solved by means of forthright discussion among the people involved. Americans believe that if someone has a problem with someone else, they should tell the person clearly and directly in order to come up with a solution to the problem.
非正式性。平等的理念使得美国人在与人交往时表现得相当随意。不要惊讶于店员和服务员会用他们的名字来介绍自己。许多初到美国的人会对美国人在言谈、着装和举止上的随意感到惊讶。不要把这种随意误解为无礼或不敬，这仅仅是他们文化的一部分。
直接性。美国人在与人交往时，倾向于坦率和直截了当。他们认为，通过直接的沟通和讨论，可以最好地解决冲突和分歧。如果对某人有意见，美国人相信应该清晰、直接地表达出来，以便找到解决问题的方法。

Various sports like basketball, skateboarding, surfing all come from the United States.
Various foods like steak, Hamburgers (created by German-Americans but still invented here), and other foods associated with America are a byproduct of American culture.
And lastly the people who constitute this nation and whose ancestors built this nation with their hands constitute America. People who sailed their ships and build up cities from nothing, from New York to Boston, or whose ancestors braved across the frontier into the wilderness with no GPS or modern technologies to aid them, and built up cities there and created their own regional cultures.
篮球、滑板、冲浪等众多体育运动也都来自美国。
从牛排到汉堡（虽然是由德裔美国人发明，但确实是在这里诞生的），以及其他与美国相关的食物，都是美国文化的一部分。
最后，构成这个国家的人民及其祖先用双手建立了美国。他们乘船从无到有地建立了城市，从纽约到波士顿，或者他们的祖先在没有GPS或现代科技的帮助下，勇敢地穿越边界，进入荒野，建立城市并创造了各自的地方文化。

It’s a very postmodernist way of thinking that america has no culture and rather ignorant. America has defined itself as a melting pot of various European cultures which became the present American culture we see today with other elementary added onto it later. America has a culture, and its western culture, defined by western customs, clothing, laws, and attitudes. It is a republic, a form of western government. America in essence is a nation regardless of how hard globalists try to erode or downplay the significant importance of nations. America is a relatively young nation, but it is a nation that has built itself up over the centuries. Every nation has its origin, and America’s origin comes from the initial British settlers (and later Dutch, German, and European settlers) as evident by America’s culture.
认为美国没有文化的这种观点非常后现代主义，，这种看法显得相当无知。美国自我定义为一个融合了多种欧洲文化的熔炉，这些文化形成了我们今天所看到的美国文化，并在后期加入了其他元素。美国确实拥有自己的文化，那就是以西方习俗、服装、法律和态度为特征的西方文化。作为一个共和国，它属于西方政府的形式。无论全球主义者如何努力削弱或淡化国家的重要性，美国本质上仍然是一个国家。虽然美国相对年轻，但它在几个世纪中不断发展壮大。每个国家都有自己的起源，而美国的起源则可以追溯到最初的英国移民（后来还有荷兰、德国和其他欧洲移民），这一点在美国文化中得到了充分体现。

That is just crap. I live in Iowa and we had all German-speaking schools in some areas up until the 1960s. There are instances of people born in Pennsylvania that never learned English. I lived in an Italian neighborhood and most of the older generation never learned English. We have never had a State language and half the West was Mexico and Spain at one time. I made my kids take Spanish in high school. My German son-in-law knows 7 languages. It shows your lack of intelligence if you only know one.
这简直是胡说八道。我住在爱荷华州，某些地区的德语学校一直存在到1960年代。有些出生在宾夕法尼亚的人甚至从未学过英语。我曾住在一个意大利社区，那里很多老一辈的人也不会说英语。我们从来没有官方的州语言，西部的一半曾经是墨西哥和西班牙的领土。我让我的孩子在高中学习西班牙语，而我的德国女婿会说七种语言。如果你只会一种语言，那说明你缺乏智力。

I think the problem with modern America is that the government and institutions don’t encourage assimilation.
I always hear about how the Poles, Irish and Italians mass migrated to America from the 1870–1950s, but what these liberal talking points don’t acknowledge is that all of these groups assimilated into American culture rather quickly and became an invaluable part of American society
我觉得现代美国面临的一个问题是，政府和相关机构并不鼓励人们融入主流文化。
我们经常听到关于19世纪70年代到20世纪50年代波兰人、爱尔兰人和意大利人大规模移民美国的故事，但这些自由派的讨论往往忽略了一个事实：这些群体迅速融入了美国文化，并很快成为美国社会宝贵的一部分。

Post-1990, the establishment has begun propagating that people don’t “melt into” America and instead ghettoize themselves into ethnic enclaves and create racial/ethnic conflict. This has led to racial and ethnic based gangs to gain a foothold during the 1990s and 2000s.
自1990年代以来，一些权威机构开始宣扬一种观念，即人们不再像过去那样融入美国社会，而是选择自我隔离，形成民族聚居区，从而引发种族或民族间的冲突。这种趋势导致了基于种族和民族的帮派在1990年代和2000年代逐渐壮大。

Not to mention the education system and media are totally compromised, they don’t serve the benefit of the public but their donors.
Regardless of interracial couples (White-Asian, Black-Hispanic, etc), this doesn’t seem to solve the complex issues of racial strife in America today (2021)
Regardless of their fawning over Canada, Canada is arguably facing a faster ethnic dilution than America since Canada advertises itself as a mosaic not a uniform culture
更不用说，教育体系和媒体已经完全受到操控，它们不再是为了公众的利益服务，而是服务于它们的资助者。
