English people think that the home is a place to protect themselves from the outside world,not one for others to see and enjoy.For them,their house is a personal place in which they go to hide away from the troubles of life.To the Americans,their home is an expression of themselves,a place to show others what kind of people they are.So they would very much like to have visitors in their house and see it.Americans also want their home to be a plac where they can have fun and share their lives with their friends.They often have a large entertainment area in their house so that they can watch sports on TV.They also have an outside area for barbeques.English people,on the other hand,usually spend much more time with friends at public places like parks or pubs.Few people would be invited an Englishman's home.You could work with a person or live next door to someone for year,but you could never see the inside of his home.If you are invited,that is great.It's a good idea to bring something to drink or eat,such as a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates,.You can do the same thing in an American home,too.翻譯得順一點!
