You do not use a dryer to dry clothes.
你不用烘干机来烘干衣服。
You hang clothes out on the balcony to dry them under the sun. All your clothes are done in just a few hours and you do not have to worry about the dryer ruining them.

You can cook any dish with a pan and a rice cooker.
你可以用平底锅和电饭锅做任何一道菜。
We do not have ovens and toasters at home. They use a lot of energy and the food they make is not healthy. Besides, a rice cooker and a pan are less time-consuming than an oven. There is no need to buy baking utensils and ingredients, and we do not even have to boil the hot water to cook rice, meat, vegetables, pasta soup, and potatoes.
我们家里通常没有烤箱和面包机。这些电器会消耗大量的能源，并且它们做出的食物不健康。此外，电饭锅和平底锅比烤箱更省时。我们不需要买烘焙用具和材料，我们甚至不需要烧开水来煮米饭、肉、蔬菜、意大利面汤和土豆。
You drink hot water and loose-leaf tea.
你喝热水和散装茶叶。

You ignore traffic laws.
你忽视交通法规。
If you drive, you do not wait at the red lights and yield to other road users. You honk your horn at them to ask them to get out of the way. No one cares if you run through the red lights or have honked your horns all day. If you walk, you do not wait for cars stop for you at traffic lights and pedestrian crossing, because they never will.
你驾车的时候不等红灯就让路给其他的道路使用者。你对着他们按喇叭，让他们让开。没有人在乎你是否闯红灯或者整天按喇叭。你步行的时候不会在红绿灯和斑马线前等着汽车停下来，因为他们永远不会。
You prefer to sleep on a hard mattress.
你喜欢睡在硬床垫上。
You cannot sleep on soft beds; you even got rid of your soft mattress to sleep instead on the bed frame. You immediately crushed out on your hard bed when you return home.

You recognize fake currency notes.
你能认出假钞票。
The first thing you do when you receive RMB50 and RMB100 notes is, to look at them under a bright light and check if the money is real. There are many counterfeit Chinese notes circulating around, and, at first glance, they all look real. It is always safe to check them before putting them in your wallet. Sometimes, you are surprised by the number of fake notes you find.
当你收到人民币50元和100元的钞票时，你要做的第一件事对着灯光看它们，看看这些钱是不是真的。中国的市面上流通着许多假币，乍一看，它们看起来都是真的。在把它们放进你的钱包之前，最好先检查一下。有时候，你会惊讶于你发现的假钞的数量。
Wexin and WeChat have become a significant part of your life.

If you do not get married by age 30, you are labeled as a leftover, and you will be educated on the importance of establishing a family at every family and friend gathering. You will also preach others who are not married before 30.
如果你在30岁之前没有结婚，你就会被贴上剩女的标签，你会在每次家庭聚会和朋友聚会上被念叨建立家庭的重要性。你也会念叨其他那些30岁以前没有结婚的人。
You are fed up with the low efficiency of the medical care system in other nations.
你对其他国家低效率的医疗保健制度十分厌倦。
In China, you went to the hospital, were seen by doctors, received your diagnosis, and got your medicine. Unless it was life-threatening, the whole process could take as short as 30 minutes. In other countries like Canada, you do not understand why you have to wait in the Emergency Room for three hours for a bad cold.
在中国，你去医院，看医生，得到了诊断，拿到了药。除非有生命危险，否则整个过程可能只需30分钟。在其他国家，比如加拿大，你都不明白为什么因为重感冒要在急诊室等三个小时。
