In Western culture, for example, employees at a law office would likely use more formal language than a group of teenage skateboarders because most Westerners expect more formality and professionalism from practitioners of law than from an informal circle of adolescent friends.
舉例來說：在西方文化中，一个法律办公室的雇員會比一個從事滑板活動的青少年有可能使用更多的正式语言，因為大多數西方人都期望法律從業者比青少年朋友擁有更多形式和專業。
