Being Injured and Bing Sick受伤生病
中西文化
在出国旅游之前，医生一般会建议注射疫苗。此外，医生也建议出国旅行的人最好随身携带存放重要药品的小药箱，以便在有需要时可派上用场。必须携带的药物有：药布、纱布、剪刀、消毒及抗细菌药膏，以便割伤或擦破皮肤时可用；伸缩绷带，在扭伤时可用；测量体温的温度计；防晒油；镇痛药片，头痛、发烧及中暑时均可用；抗酸剂；治疗泻肚子和食物改变引起的轻微便秘的药丸；伤风感冒时用的减充血剂；抗痒药物；预防晕车药物。
在国外就医费用相当昂贵，因此应当参加健康保险。出门在外难免出现小的不适，要依据个人的情况随身携带点常用药，以备不时之需。
看望外国病人要注意以下几点：
(1)宜送鲜花、书刊、唱片、贺卡等物品，而不要送食品、水果、补剂、保健品等。
(2)不要打听病情。
(3)不要建议病人多喝水、多吃水果、注意穿衣等。
(4)一般要表示希望其早日康复。“I hope you get well soon” 和 “Take good of yourself” 是最适用、最保险的用语。

Car's Breaking Down车辆抛锚
中西文化
由于美国是个多汽车的国家，汽车修理自然而然也成了一个重要的行业，而且在许多城市汽车修理还是个竞争比较激烈的行业。在美国修车的工钱一般是很高的。换一个几块钱的零件收你十几块钱是常有的事。有个别车行为了赚钱，甚至让你修一些本不该修的东西，而需要修的地方却总是修不好。所以说起修车，好多人都有道不完的苦水。这就是为什么很多人一旦找到一个信得过的车行或修理师傅就总是将车送到那儿的原因，这也是为什么美国许多男人懂车，也会修车的原因。

Car Accident遭遇车祸
中西文化
如果不是很严重的交通事故，大多数人都倾向和气地私下和解。若是报警，最好报警后互相留下资料，然后交给保险公司处理，那样不会浪费太多时间成本及导致道路的占用。意外擦撞后最好保持心平气和并寻求解决方法。尤其是在一切讲理、重法的欧美、新加坡等国家，理性沟通远比大声吵架来得有用，所以学会一些处理此类小纠纷的字句，并保持“理直气壮”的态度一定能让大事化小，小事化无。
