(65)
This atti-tude is carried over into matters that have nothing to do with competition.
(66)

An American student reports that when he was in a foreign country he was completely stunned when he said to a native,"I don’t speak your language very well,""I should say you don’t. "In a similar situation an American would have commented, "Well, you have only been here two months, "or"But you’re making progress. " (65)
