 摘  要

     中美關(guān)系是全球最重要的雙邊關(guān)系之一，它聯(lián)系著中國這一個(gè)世界上人口最多的國家和世界上唯一的超級(jí)大國。兩國的相互理解直接影響著兩國的關(guān)系。因此，增加對(duì)美國的了解已經(jīng)迫在眉睫。了解美國包括了了解美國文化。汽車是重要的交通工具，也是美國人生活的基本要素，同時(shí)也是美國文化的一種載體。它是中國人了解美國文化的一個(gè)方面。
本文首先介紹文化的定義和研究美國文化的意義，然后再從汽車這個(gè)角度，對(duì)美國文化中的個(gè)人主義，美國人的幽默感，物質(zhì)主義和美國人追求變化方面進(jìn)行分析。從而得出了這樣一個(gè)結(jié)論：從美國汽車方面可以知道美國人富有個(gè)性，幽默感，追求物質(zhì)財(cái)富和生活變化。
