persuade
him
to
do
so,
and
she
hoped
that
he
would
be
able
to
enjoy
his
vacation
without
any
disturbance, so before they left, Mrs. Young went to see her husband's secretary. She said to her,
husband needs a vacation very
much, so whatever happens, please don't bother him with telegrams
and letters about business problems while we are away. Just wait till we get back.

A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made
man - the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his
hands.
While
the
leader
in
business
or
industry
or
the
college
professor
occupies
a
higher
social
position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled
factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or
laborer of some sort.
This
attitude
toward
manual
(
体力的
)
labor
is
now
still
seen
in
many
aspects
of American
life.
One
is
invited
to
dinner
at
a
home
that
is
not
only
comfortably
but
even
luxuriously
(
豪华地
)
furnished
and
in
which
there
is
every
evidence
of
the
fact
that
the
family
has
been
able
to
afford
foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will
cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward; furthermore,

the dinner
will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a
cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful
preparation
of
special
dishes.
A
professional
may
talk
about
washing
the
car,
digging
in
his
flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her
with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living,
or
during
the
summer
he
may
work
with
a
construction
gang
on a
highway
in
order
to
pay
for
his
education.
