跨⽂化交际全部答案参考资料Unit 1 Communication Across CulturesReading IIntercultural Communication：An IntroductionComprehension questions1. Is it still often the case that “everyone?s quick to blame the alien”in the contemporary world?This is still powerful in today…s social and political rhetoric. For instance, it is not uncommon in today…s society to hear people say that most, if not all, of the social and economic problems are caused by minorities and immigrants.2. What?s the difference between today?s intercultural contact and that of any time in the past?Today…s intercultural encounters are far more numerous and of greater importance than in any time in history.3. What have made intercultural contact a very common phenomenon in our life today?New technology, in the form of transportation and communication systems, has accelerated intercultural contact; innovative communication systems have encouraged and facilitated cultural interaction; globalization of the economy has brought people together; changes in immigration patterns have also contributed to intercultural encounter.4. How do you understand the sentence “culture is everything and everywhere”?Culture supplies us with the answers to questions about what the world looks like and how we live and communicate within that world. Culture teaches us how to behave in our life from the instant of birth. It is omnipresent.5. What are the major elements that directly influence our perception and communication?The three major socio-cultural elements that directly influence perception and communication are cultural values, worldview (religion), and social organizations (family and state).6. What does one?s family teach him or her while he or she grows up in it?The family teaches the child what the world looks like and his or her place in that world.7. Why is it impossible to separate our use of language from our culture?Because language is not only a form of preserving culture but also a means of sharing culture. Language is an organized, generally agreed-upon, learned symbol system that is used to represent the experiences within a cultural community.8. What are the nonverbal behaviors that people can attach meaning to?People can attach meaning to nonverbal behaviors such as gestures, postures, facial expressions, eye contact and gaze, touch, etc.9. How can a free, culturally diverse society exist?A free, culturally diverse society can exist only if diversity is permitted to flourish without1prejudice and discrimination, both of which harm all members of the society.Reading IIThe Challenge of GlobalizationComprehension questions1. Why does the author say that our understanding of the world has changed?Many things, such as political changes and technological advances, have changed the world very rapidly. In the past mosthuman beings were born, lived, and died within a limited geographical area, never encountering people of other cultural backgrounds. Such an existence, however, no longer prevails in the world. Thus, all people are faced with the challenge of understanding this changed and still fast changing world in which we live.2. What a “global village”is like?As our world shrinks and its inhabitants become interdependent, people from remote cultures increasingly come into contact on a daily basis. In a ―global village‖, members of once isolated groups of people have to communicate with members of other cultural groups. Those people may live thousands of miles away or right next door to each other.3. What is considered as the major driving force of the post-1945 globalization?Technology, particularly telecommunications and computers are considered to be the major driving force.4. What does the author mean by saying that “the …global?may be more local than the …local?”?The increasing global mobility of people and the impact of new electronic media on human communications make the world seem smaller. We may communicate more with people of other countries than with our neighbors, and we may be more informed of the international events than of thelocal events. In this sense, ―the ?global…may be more local than the ?local…‖.5. Why is it important for businesspeople to know diverse cultures in the world?Effective communication may be the most important competitive advantage that firms have to meet diverse customer needs on a global basis. Succeeding in the global market today requires the ability to communicate sensitively with people from other cultures, a sensitivity that is based on an understanding of cross-cultural differences.6. What are the serious problems that countries throughout the world are confronted with?Countries throughout the world are confronted with serious problems such as volatile international economy, shrinking resources, mounting environmental contamination, and epidemics that know no boundaries.7. What implications can we draw from the case of Michael Fay?This case shows that in a world of international interdependence, the ability to understand and communicate effectively with people from other cultures takes on extreme urgency. If we are unaware of the significant role culture plays in communication, we may place the blame for communication failure on people of other cultures.8. What attitudes are favored by the author towards globalization?Globalization, for better or for worse, has changed the world greatly. Whether we like it or not,2globalization is all but unstoppable. It is already here to stay. It is both a fact and an opportunity. The challenges are not insurmountable. Solutions exist, and are waiting to be identified and implemented. From a globalistic point of view, there is hope and faith in humanity.Translation纵观历史，我们可以清楚地看到，⼈们由于彼此所处地域、意识形态、容貌服饰和⾏为举⽌上存在的差异，⽽长久⽆法互相理解、⽆法和睦相处。

【关键词】新媒体；跨文化；商务沟通一、跨文化商务沟通与媒体在商务活动中，拥有不同文化背景的人们通过某种特定的媒介相互传递着信息、思想、知识以及情感，这一过程被称为跨文化商务沟通。

?譹?訛随着经济全球化趋势的日益明显、国际商务活动的日益频繁，现代企业跨国经营中越来越显示出对多元文化理解的必要性和跨文化沟通的重要性。

可以说，跨文化商务沟通意味着直接的经济效益。

一个企业要想使自己的产品在国际市场上占有一席之地，一个跨国公司想在其他国家或地区取得经济效益，那就不仅需要具备雄厚的经济实力、发达的专业技术和高超的管理水平，而且需要深刻了解对象国的文化，建立起一套成熟完善的商务沟通体系，用以消除文化误解、化解文化冲突，来保证企业行为的顺利进行以及实现企业利益的最大化。

作为现代企业行为中一个至关重要的环节，商务沟通是通过媒体来实现的。

媒体是在传播者和接受者之间进行信息传递的工具。

不同媒体的使用决定了商务沟通不同的表现形式：口头沟通、书面沟通、网络沟通和非言语沟通等等。

传统的商务沟通媒体多为电话、电子邮件、信件、报告及面对面的交谈等形式。

不论是企业内部的共享信息、协调活动、感情交流，还是企业之间的信息收集、资源共享、协同合作，商务沟通都扮演着企业经营管理中不可替代的角色。

特别是随着现代经济活动国际化程度的加深，跨文化管理成为商务活动的重要内容，文化差异所带来的文化冲突要经过日常的文化交流与思想沟通才能消除。

跨文化商务沟通通过各种沟通媒体，克服文化隔阂产生的矛盾，解决文化差异，防止文化冲突，在企业跨文化经营管理中发挥着不可或缺的重要作用。
