VII. Translation from English into Chinese (15 points) 将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答卷纸上。
Many Americans find silence uncomfortable. They will talk continually to fill any pause in a conversation, even if it lasts only for a moment. If you are silent for long periods of time, Americans will do their best to include you in the conversation. They may ask you if you are feeling well or if there is anything they can do to help you. However, if Americans disagree with what you are saying, they may remain quiet. This does not necessarily mean that they agree with you; often it only means that they consider it impolite to argue further.
