刻板印象很有趣，因為他們簡化且概括了人們不同的面向, 刻板印象=kèbǎnyìnxiàng, 有趣=yǒuqù, 因为=yīnwèi, 他们=tāmen, 简化=jiǎnhuà, 且=qiě, 概括=gàikuò, 人们=rénmen, 不同=bùtóng, 面向=miànxiàng
Stereotypes are interesting because they simplify some aspects of people and generalize them.
說說美國的刻板印象了，我可以舉出三個最著名的美國刻板印象。 说说=shuōshuo, 美国=Měiguó, 刻板印象=kèbǎnyìnxiàng, 举=jǔ, 著名=zhùmíng, 美国=Měiguó.
Take the example of the U.S. stereotype ; I can name the 3 most-famous American stereotypes.
來瞧瞧~1) 他們隨時都想告人。2) 美國人總是隨時隨地攜帶槍枝，要是遇到危險時他們就會使用它。3) 美國女孩都很bitchy和slutty
Let’s see: 1) They will sue anyone any time they can; 2) people there carry guns everywhere and all the time, and they will use them if they receive any threat whatsoever; 3) all American girls are bitchy and slutty.
多虧了好萊屋，我想我了解第2和第3個刻板印象，但是第一個呢?
Well, thanks to Hollywood, I guess I can understand the 2nd and 3rd stereotypes, but what about the 1st one?
大部分美國以外的人都認為美國人很愛告人，因為一個老奶奶的案例: 她告了微波爐公司因為他們沒有在機器上面標示”請勿用來曬貓”
Because of a case where a granny sued a microwave company for not putting a warning “do not dry cat inside” on their machines, most people outside the U.S. now think that everyone in America is itching to sue someone else.
