【 摘 要 】

In the United States it is often difficult to place labels on individuals or groups. The scholar, for instance, in America carries a much different connotation than in many other countries. To many the term scholar represents a learned person dedicated to academic study. But in the United States there is no single definition to the term ;;scholar,;; rather, Americans define the term more loosely than Europeans. Europe had a long standing academic and scholarly tradition, unlike the United States. As a result, America views the term scholar differently than Europeans. The American Scholar, thus, is unique for he/she has developed under much different circumstances. The American Scholar is a product of his/her environment, rather than a product of a classical tradition.
