Description

In Chinese culture, talking about one’s age and jobs has nothing to do with privacy, especially between good friends. People often ask the details of each other’s family. For example, “你爸爸妈妈多大了?他们身体好吗?”or “你有哥哥吗?你有妹妹吗?” . These questions equally means “你家有几口人”how many people there are in your family.They often chat about jobs and marriage status, too. And friends are always willing to reply.

在中国人的观念中,谈论家庭人员的年龄职业状况是不涉及到隐私的。特别是两个人已经成为好朋友,我们常常会询问彼此家庭的详细情况,比如:你爸爸妈妈多大了?他们身体好吗?或者是“你有哥哥吗?”、“你有妹妹吗?”这其实也就是问“你家有几口人”。除此之外呢,还可以问问朋友家人的职业以及婚姻状况,这些朋友都会很乐意告诉你的。
