number 10.food.not only have the chinese developed a complex and tastycuisine for themselves,they've managed to provide other countries with some ofthe linchpins for theirs.they ate noodles 4 thousand years ago,and have beenenjoying a ketchup-like sauce for at lease 5 centuries.america's biggestcontribution to global cuisine is fast food
10、食物。中国人不仅为自己开发了一种复杂而美味的菜系，他们还成功为其他国家提供了一些关键食物。4000年前，面条已经成为了中国人的食物，他们还享有番茄酱至少5个世纪了。美国人对全球美食的最大贡献则是快餐。

9、基础设施。美国曾经是大型基础设施工程的领袖。如今，中国在这些方面更具有行动力。从高铁到所有新城市的发电厂，中国的建设步伐无疑是惊人的。根据麦肯锡咨询公司，中国对基础设施的投放是gdp的8.5%，美国是gdp的2.6%。

8、中国园林。无意冒犯玛莎斯图尔特，但中国园林艺术已经超越了美学，布局和植物也被赋予了历史意义和文化意义。只有天才才能提出在园林里修建宝塔的想法。

7、武术。面对现实，美国的作战和自卫主要凭借枪支和胡椒喷雾，它们虽然很有效，但缺乏技巧性，也无法强身健体。几千年来，武术却在中国薪手相传。

6、时区。中国坚持使用1个时区，而美国有6个。当然需要赋予每个地方令时的好处，但也要计算和紧跟那些没有夏令时的地方。

5、计算机。前5个国家里，虽然美国的超级计算机最多，但中国的超级计算机却最快。而且，排名第1的国家会握有很多冷却器。

4、墓葬。墓葬伟大领袖时，中国人会更精细。秦始皇陪葬了几千个兵马俑来守护他，乔治华盛顿只是葬在了妻子玛莎的旁边。

3、另类医疗。中国的医疗实践可以追溯到几千年前，例如针灸、中药和太极。而美国医疗只是走了一段时间的自然路线，19世纪末就开始转向了合成药物。

2、戏曲。如果问题不是出在精致妆容和精湛技艺上，那么很难说西方歌剧能像中国传统表演那样吸引观众。

1、捕鱼。今天，中国人已经不再利用鸬鹚捕鱼了。鸬鹚捕鱼是指用鸟帮忙捕鱼，这可比钓鱼聪明多了。荣耀。
