The expression “Excuse me” is used in the United States than in China. An American says “Excuse me” when he wants to pass someone, to leave a party or a dinner or when he finds himself late for an appointment. “Thank you” means to appreciate(感激) someone has done for you. An American says “Thank you” all day long. For example, he will say “Thank you” to the cashier when he had paid for his food. He will say “Thank you” to a student if he has just answered the question. At home the husband will thank his wife if she brings him a cup of tea. , the wife thanks her husband for helping her with her housework. So the American people's idea of polite is quite different from ours.
