选项 A、counterpart
B、opposite
C、competitor
D、opponent

解析 本填空首先可以根据前一句中的原文已知信息判断出需要填入的意思,根据上述分析可知,The Vietnamese(越南人)与people in the United States(美国人)是相反的。四个选项中哪一项可以准确表达这个概念呢?选项A)counterpart表示“对称、对等”;选项C)competitor表示“竞争对手”;选项D)opponent表示“反对者”,并不合适,因为本填空的原文意思表示的并不是谁反对谁,而只是客观地表达两种文化观念是相反的,因此最准确的选项为B)opposite。
