In the 90’s when I began teaching cross-cultural communication in Europe, I quickly became aware that I had 3 strikes against me. Strike one – I was “American” and what do Americans know about culture? Strike two – I was female and at that time it wasn’t common for companies to have women instructors in high-level business. Strike three – I’m blonde and I found out that the dumb blonde jokes are global! If I had been more aware of the preexisting perceptions, I would have changed my approach by dressing more conservatively, being more serious in my business style, and pulling my blonde hair back into a French twist.

what这里指“什么”，还是指“数量多的”的意思，如果指“数量多的”，那为什么不用how much？
