其實我也不知道這算不算culture shock,
只是這是發生在美國,說不定美國對這種事情有不一樣的習俗??
這是將近一年前的事了,
我最近回想到,覺得我當時的回應好像不是很妥當......
事情是這樣的:
我有個同事每週有一天要跟我一組一起上班,
雖然每週會固定共事幾小時,但我們從來沒有深入交談過,
都只是日常性經典美國沒誠意"How are you doing"問候.
(就是很制式的問候,不管你是不是真的doing fine都要說I am doing fine的那種)
有一天我們一起上班時,我看她心神不寧的,
然後在休息時間她突然就自己主動跟我說"我的離婚協議書今天正式生效了".
我們從沒聊過私人話題,
她猛然這樣講還真的把我嚇一跳.....
我不知道她離婚的原因是什麼,我甚至不知道她在辦離婚,
我看她臉色蒼白又凝重,所以我就說了"I am so sorry",
然後她就自己很尷尬地說
"Oh, it's good, I can't stand him anymore,so....yeah,it's a good thing"
她說了兩次it's good,可是看她的表情+她上班時的異常分心+她說so....yeah時的停頓,
不用想也知道她是言不由衷,
但既然她一直說是good thing,
那我也只好很尷尬地說" Well, then you can start your new life!"
然後我們又很尷尬地互相微笑一下之後就繼續工作了.
我們一起工作的時間結束後,
我看到她跟另一位跟她比較熟的同事講她離婚生效的事,
對方是跟她說"congratulations!"
然後她們就壓低音量討論起來了.
之後我要下班時在走廊又巧遇到那位離婚同事,
我看著她準備跟她說再見,結果她卻很明顯避開我的眼神,假裝沒看到我.....
下一週我們又一起上班時一切又都恢復原狀,
一直到現在我們還是很不熟.
我這幾天回想到這件事,想到我同事避開我的眼神,
我很納悶她是後悔自己跟不熟的人(就是我)講私人的事情,
還是她覺得我的回應很爛啊?
