这是个关于culture shock的故事,我却不知道下面为什么salesman要笑jim!
Jim lived in an area in the USA that didn’t have public transportation,so he had to buy a car.The salesman asked Jim to take the car for a drive,and Jim drove around and knew it was the car he wanted .It was expensive; the sign on the car said with all the options (air conditioning,speed control and so forth) the car cost $19,500.Jim knew he could get a car for less money if he ordered one without all the fancy options,and if he bought it “on time”,he could afford it.
When he got back,Jim told the salesman he would take the car.The salesman said,” You will?Do you know how much the car is?” Jim replied,” yes,I saw the price on the window and that will be okey.”
The next time he picked up the car,he noticed the salespeople stopped what they were doing and looked at him.He could hear them laughing and feel they were laughing at him.A salesman asked if he had any friends who would like to buy a car.

找到一点关于美国经销商与消费者关系的背景文字：
长期以来,美国零售业有一个奇怪的现象：汽车经销商与消费者之间的讨价还价.这自然是传统使然,人们在马车时代就开始这样,后来骄傲的马匹让位给了不需要马拉的车厢,但卖主和买家之间艰难的价格谈判却一直沿用到了今天的汽车销售中.这种做法允许销售人员（大多为男性）利用谈判技巧向天真的购车者拼命推销,以从中获得可观的提成.但是经销商也为此付出了代价：汽车销售员成为了人们最不信任的群体之一.
看来应该就是因为Jim没讲价钱的原因才笑他.

我不懂。来学习

很可能是因为他买车没有讨价还价吧，或者他是没有贷款买的车，感觉这个Jim应该不是美国当地人，很可能是个新移民。在美国，买车都要贷款的，而且这样的商品是可以讨价的，不会人家要多少就付多少，所以，如果他有朋友，这个车行会希望有更多的人来这里买车，因为他们可以赚更多的钱...
