欧美文化差异

欧美文化差异

同志
• 在欧美,如果你不是个“同志”的话,请不要和同性来上一 段双人舞。如果同性在一起跳舞,一定会被道统捍卫者投以 责备的目光,说不定还被在场的某位认为志趣相投。哇,这 下你跳到黄河也洗不清了!一般说来,跳舞时该由两个异性 成为一对,这是"天经地义"的男生女生配哦。 • 你或者你周围的中国人有没有拍胸口说话的习惯?认为 这样给人一种发自内心的感觉。如果你在欧美人士面前这样 做,是不会收到同样效果的。因为他们说话时常指自己的鼻 尖,绝少指胸口。并不是说指着胸口有何不对,而是这么一 指,会让对方感到迷糊,无法立刻反应你是什么意思。 • 平时,和一帮死党凑到一块下馆子,是不是一开心就嚷 着“不醉不归”?而在欧美人士的聚会(餐会)上,绝少看到 烂醉如泥,或是说什么"不醉不归"的人。喝酒对他们来说是 一种品味、一种享受,体味那种陈年干邑挑逗味蕾的美感 (当然,不算那种小酒馆里大口大口地喝啤酒的豪情)。可 不要一杯黄汤下肚就忘了一切,做个现世宝哦。喝适量的酒, 举止始终斯文不变,这样才是绅士与淑女的榜样。
AA制
• 如果和朋友一起乘车去玩时,我们常常争着要为对方付车钱,但 这种行为用在欧美人身上,可能会拿你的热脸去贴人家的冷什么。 因为他们可不想欠你人情。外国人在人际来往上,是有颇多规则 的。即使对方是大富翁,任何小额的费用,都遵守分摊的原则, 非常AA才合乎欧美人士的规则。当然,你可以告诉他你请客, 看看他接不接受。如果你不忍心让他为你付帐,就跟他直接说: 我们AA好了。相信对方这下肯定不会拒绝! • 有时,通过一个特别窄的地方,你非从别人后面赶超不可的时 候,你一定要说一声:"对不起,打扰了。"这时候的姿式,在美 国和欧洲两者截然不同。在欧洲,你必须面对那个人,低头弯身 而过。在美国则恰恰相反,你必须背对着那个人,低头弯身而过。 这就是不同的小细节,细心的你可不要忽略哦。 • 美丽的微笑可以烤化千年寒冰。但是,在某些场合,微笑往往 代表对某种事物"允诺"。所以尤其是女性,微笑之前必须弄清楚 自己所处的局面,对方都说了些什么。否则,往往会造成莫大的 误会哦。暖昧不明的微笑,有时候会被误解为"嗤笑",有时候会 被误为“默认”。为了健康积极的保护自己,可是要分清楚其中 可能的含义哦。 • 欧洲人有时也是很含蓄的呢!比如说:“大自然在呼唤我。 (nature calls 或者 i got a call from nature)”意思是说, 他要去厕所了。“您渴不渴?”意思是说,您喝不喝酒?这些话所 代表的真正用意,你可别搞错,如果实在不明白可以问问人家是 什么意思,总比自己出丑要保险的多了。

中西方语言差异精选三篇

中西方语言差异精选三篇

中西方语言差异精选三篇【篇1】中西方语言差异总结一、中西思维方式差异对语言的影响1思维立足他方与己方的差异。

中国人善于换位思考,习惯站在对方的角度考虑问题,注重对方的感受。

出于礼貌,或者想跟人套近乎,中国人总是愿意说些关心人的话,如“你一定累了,好好休息一下吧(Youmustbetired.Haveagoodres)t”。

然而,这却可能让西方人误解为你对其身体状况表示担忧。

西方人很喜欢别人夸自己年轻、强壮,如果质疑其健康状况,他们是会很介意的。

西方人思维一般都是立足自身,直接谈自己的意愿或感受。

好多英语国家的服务员招呼顾客时,经常用u CanIhe1pyou?(我能为你做点什么?)”,这是一个很好的体现。

2.思维方向顺序与逆序的差异。

中国人偏重顺序思维,汉语对与时间和空间有关的各因素排列,一般都是由大到小、由整体到个体,句子以时间和事理为线索,按照实际的“时序”及“事序”来安排。

而西方人习惯逆序思维,英语句子虽然也可遵循时间先后顺序,但不总是如此。

它可以打破时间先后顺序来安排,有着丰富的形态变化,句子呈句尾开放式。

3.思维表达婉转与直接的差异。

中国人习惯于形象思维,西方人习惯于逻辑思维。

在语言上,中国人在说明问题时会运用比喻、暗示的方法,让人们产生联想,以达到某种寓意。

而英语正相反,它比较直接,直奔主题,然后加上修饰成分,定语一般放在中心词的后面,状语一般放在动词之后,尽管偶尔也可以状语前置。

二、中西文化差异对日常用语的影响1.在称呼方面中国人比较注重礼节,会根据对方的身份、与自己的亲疏关系以及不同场合,使用不同的称谓,以示敬意。

但是在西方,不管是在正式还是非正式场合,都喜欢用名字称呼别人。

2.在致谢方面中国家庭成员之间很少用“谢谢”,中国人认为对家里人或者好朋友的帮助是one'sownobIigation,noneedtothankorbethanked,彼此根本不必说谢谢,说了反而显得生分。

中外文化交流英文作文

中外文化交流英文作文

中外文化交流英文作文英文:Cultural exchange between different countries is an important aspect of global communication. It helps people understand and appreciate different cultures, and promotes mutual respect and cooperation. As someone who has had the opportunity to participate in cultural exchange programs, I believe that it is a valuable experience that everyone should have.One of the benefits of cultural exchange is that it broadens your perspective. When you immerse yourself in a different culture, you gain a deeper understanding of their customs, traditions, and way of life. This can help you appreciate the diversity of the world and become more tolerant and open-minded.Another benefit is that it helps you develop communication skills. When you are in a foreign country,you have to communicate with people who may not speak your language fluently. This can be challenging, but it also forces you to be more creative and resourceful in your communication.Finally, cultural exchange can lead to lifelong friendships. When you meet people from different cultures, you realize that despite our differences, we all share common values and experiences. This can create a bond that lasts long after the exchange program is over.中文:不同国家之间的文化交流是全球交流的重要方面。

中美身体语言差异英语作文

中美身体语言差异英语作文

中美身体语言差异英语作文When it comes to body language, there are undoubtedly significant differences between Chinese and American culture. 在身体语言方面,中美两国文化中无疑存在着显著的差异。

First and foremost, eye contact plays a crucial role in communication and is interpreted differently in both cultures. In American culture, direct eye contact is often perceived as a sign of confidence, sincerity, and attentiveness. This is especially true in professional settings, where maintaining eye contact during conversations is highly encouraged and demonstrates active engagement. 目光接触在沟通中扮演着至关重要的角色,并且在两种文化中有着不同的解读。

在美国文化中,直接的目光接触往往被视为自信、真诚和专注的表现。

尤其是在职业场合,坚持目光接触在交谈中是受到高度鼓励的,它展示了积极的参与。

In contrast, in Chinese culture, prolonged eye contact can be perceived as confrontational or disrespectful, especially when the person is in a position of lower authority. In traditional Chinese etiquette, it is respectful to lower one's gaze as a sign of humility and deference to others. 相反,在中国文化中,长时间的目光接触可能被视为具有对抗性或不尊重的行为,尤其是当对方地位较低时。

论中西文化差异与英语教学

论中西文化差异与英语教学

论中西文化差异与英语教学长期以来,在英语教学中,语言与文化间的关系一直未得到足够的重视,人们普遍认为,只要进行听、说、读、写的基本训练,掌握了语言、词汇和语法规则就能理解英语,并利用英语进行交际。

而实际上,由于不了解语言的文化背景,不了解中西文化的差异,在英语学习和应用过程中歧义误解现象屡见不鲜,这无疑会严重影响交际和沟通。

例如,中国人蔑视狗,汉语中的“狗”带有“讨厌、卑鄙”等贬义,像“走狗”、“狗奴才”、“狼心狗肺”等,而西方人却对“dog”情有独钟,认为它是人类最忠实的朋友,把它作为宠物。

人们欣赏狗的勇敢和忠诚,对狗的赞誉也屡见于习语和谚语中,并把人比作狗,如:“a lucky dog”(幸运儿),“an old dog”(老手),“everydoghashisday.”(凡人皆有得意日)等等。

又如,受儒家思想的影响,中华民族养成了谦虚的美德,对别人的赞扬常采取自谦或自否的态度。

如:一位美国人赞扬一位中国女士说:“you look beautiful today.”,而这位女士却谦虚地说:“where? where?”,弄得对方云里雾里。

在英语国家,当他们赞扬别人时总希望对方道谢或爽快地接受,所以你只需回答:“thank you.”或“thanks.”即可,完全不必太过谦虚。

因此,在英语教学中不能只单纯注意语言教学,还必须加强语言的文化导入,重视语言文化差异对语言的影响。

只有这样,才能在实际中正确运用语言。

语言与文化密不可分,学语言的目的在于交流,而人类的交际不仅是一种语言现象,也是一种跨文化现象。

在英语教学中,教师应结合课堂文化教学,指导帮助学生在语言实践学习中更好地了解中西文化,提高学生对中西文化差异的感知力与鉴别力,这有利于学生加深对英语的理解和对我国文化的认识,有利于培养他们的世界意识,同时也有利于培养他们的跨文化交际能力。

所以教师在英语教学中,应引导学生领会西方人士(特别是英美人士)的思维模式,感受中西文化差异,增强文化差异敏感性,提高学生文化悟力,这样才能使学生真正理解掌握英语,恰当得体地将英语用于各种交际场合。
