内容提要:

在悠久的历史文化中,中西方不同的思维方式和处世哲学造就了中西文化的差异,从而造就了中西方饮食文化的差异。餐饮产品由于地域特征、气侯环境、风俗习惯等因素的影响,会出现在原料、口味、烹调方法、饮食习惯上的不同程度的差异。正是因为这些差异,餐饮产品具有了强烈的地域性。中华饮食以食表意、以物传情,其博大精深不可言喻。西方饮食精巧专维、自成体系。中西饮食文化的差异来自中西方不同的思维方式和处世哲学。在中国,烹调是一种艺术;在西方,烹调则是一种劳动。

在科学发达的今天,中西餐饮仍就存在着不可忽视的缺点和弊端。那么如何避免和剔除两者的缺点,如何改善两者的饮食结构,如何将两者进行有机结合,如何让中西方饮食为人类健康做出更大贡献,是我们长期需要努力的方向。这里将简要从下面四个方面谈谈中西方饮食文化的差异。

一、两种不同的饮食观念

1.西方人饮食观念

中国人吃口味,西方人吃营养。对比注重“味”的中国饮食,西方是一种理性饮食观念。不论食物的色、香、味、形如何,而营养一定要得到保证,讲究一天要摄取多少热量、维生素、蛋白质等等。即便口味千篇一律,也一定要吃下去——因为有营养。这一饮食观念同西方整个哲学体系是相适应的。形而上学是西方哲学的主要特点。西方哲学所研究的对象为事物之理,事物之理常为形上学理,形上学理互相连贯,便结成形上哲学。这一哲学给西方文化带来生机,使之在自然科学上、心理学上、方法论上实现了突飞猛进的发展。但在另一些方面,这种哲学主张大大地起了阻碍作用,如饮食文化。在宴席上,可以讲究餐具,讲究用料,讲究服务,讲究菜之原料的形、色方面的搭配;但不管怎么豪华高档,从洛杉矶到纽约,牛排都只有一种味道,无艺术可言。作为菜肴,鸡就是鸡,牛排就是牛排,纵然有搭配,那也是在盘中进行的,一盘“法式羊排”,一边放土豆泥,旁倚羊排,另一边配煮青豆,加几片番茄便成。色彩上对比鲜明,但在滋味上各种原料互不相干、调和,各是各的味,简单明了。

2.中国人饮食观念

中国人是很重视“吃”的,民间有句俗话:“民以食为天,食以味为先”。这句谚语就说明我们把吃看得与天一样重要。

中国人在品尝菜肴时,往往会说这盘菜“好吃”,那道菜“不好吃”;然而若要进一步问一下什么叫“好吃”,为什么“好吃”,“好吃”在哪里,恐怕就不容易说清楚了。这说明,中国人对饮食追求的是一种难以言传的“意境”,即人们通常所说的“色、香、味、形、器”,来把这种“境界”具体化,恐怕仍然是很难涵盖得了的。

中国饮食之所以有其独特的魅力,关键就在于它的味。而美味的产生,在于调和,要使食物的本味,加热以后的熟味,加上配料和辅料的味以及调料的调和之味,交织融合协调在一起,使之互相补充,互助渗透,水乳交融,你中有我,我中有你。遗憾的是,当我们把追求美味作为第一要求时,我们却忽略了食物最根本的营养价值,我们的很多传统食品都要经过热油炸和长时间的文火饨煮,使菜肴的营养成分受到破坏,许多营养成分都损失在加工过程中了。因而一说到营养问题,实际上就触及到了中国饮食文化的最大弱点。

3. 饮食观念及味道和营养:

由于中西哲学思想的不同,西方人于饮食重科学,重科学即讲求营养,

故西方饮食以营养为最高准则,进食有如为一生物的机器添加燃料,特别讲求食物的营养成分,蛋白质、脂肪、碳水化合物、维生素及各类无机元素的含量是否搭配合宜,卡路里的供给是否恰到好处,以及这些营养成分是否能为进食者充分吸收,有无其他副作用。这些问题都是烹调中的大学问,而菜肴的色、香、味如何,则是次一等的要求。即或在西方首屈一指的饮食大国——法国,其饮食文化虽然在很多方面与我们近似,但一接触到营养问题,双方便拉开了距离。

尽管我们讲究食疗、食补、食养,重视以饮食来养生强身,但我们的烹调术却以追求美味为第一性要求,致使许多营养成分损失于加工过程中。近年来我国厨师参加世界烹调大赛,人家端上一个菜营养成分开列得一清二楚,我们则拿不出这份材料。经人提问,亦瞠目结舌不知所云,大大地吃了哑巴亏!

基于对营养的重视,西方人多生吃蔬菜,不仅西红柿、黄瓜、生菜生吃,就是洋白菜、洋葱、绿菜花(西兰花)也都生吃。因而他们的“沙拉”有如一盘兔饲料,使我们难以接受。现代中国人也讲营养保健,也知道青菜一经加热,维生素将被破坏,因而我们主张用旺火爆炒。这虽然也使维生素的含量下降,但不会完全损失,可味道却比兔饲料好吃得多。因而中国的现代烹调术旨在追求营养与味道兼顾下的最佳平衡,这当然也属于一种“中庸之道”。

二、中西饮食对象的差异

1.中西菜肴用料的不同

西方人认为菜肴是充饥的,所以专吃大块肉、整块鸡等“硬菜”。而中国的菜肴是“吃味”的,所以中国烹调在用料上也显出极大的随意性:许多西方人视为弃物的东西,在中国都是极好的原料,外国厨师无法处理的东西,一到中国厨师手里,就可以化腐朽为神奇。足见中国饮食在用料方面的随意性之广博。

2.中餐主张素食

据西方的植物学者的调查,中国人吃的菜蔬有600多种,比西方多六倍。实际上,在中国人的菜肴里,素菜是平常食品,荤菜只有在节假日或生活水平较高时,才进入平常的饮食结构,所以自古便有“菜食”之说,菜食在平常的饮食结构中占主导地位。中国人的以植物为主菜,与佛教徒的鼓吹有着千缕万丝的联系。他们视动物为“生灵”,而植物则“无灵”,所以,主张素食主义。

3.西餐注重营养

西方人在介绍自己国家的饮食特点时,觉得比中国更重视营养的合理搭配,有较为发达的食品工业,如罐头、快餐等,虽口味千篇一律,但节省时间,且营养良好,故他们国家的人身体普遍比中国人健壮:高个、长腿、宽大的肩、发达的肌肉;而中国人则显得身材瘦小、肩窄腿短、色黄质弱。有人根据中西方饮食对象的明显差异这一特点,把中国人称为植物性格,西方

人称为动物性格。

三、饮食方式的不同

1.用餐方式及餐具:

在用餐方式上。在中国,无论什么宴席,都是大家团团围坐,共享一席,美味佳肴放在桌子中间,它既是一桌人享用的对象,又是大家交流感情的媒介。在餐桌上,中国人都喜欢互相劝酒,夹菜,举杯共欢,非常和睦生趣。而西方就不同了,当他们聚在一起吃饭或请客时,劝酒,夹菜并没有中国人那么热情,并且客人与主人之间也没有那么客气。西方人更注重个人的独立性,各吃各的,没有中国人聊欢共乐的情趣。中餐上桌的菜讲究丰盛多样,一般是8或10碟、12碟,品种多样,从主菜到汤,到甜品,到水果,次序也讲究。而西方人宴客则是以牛、羊、猪排等为主食。

在餐具方面,差异就更甚明显。众所周知,中国人包括亚洲一些黄种人的国家,使用的是筷子,汤匙,吃饭也用碗盛;而西方人呢,则是盘子盛食物,用刀叉即切即吃,喝汤则有专门的汤匙。筷子与刀叉作为东西方最具代表性的两种餐具,筷子和刀叉影响了东西方不同的生活方式,代表着不同的两种智慧。

筷子古时候单叫箸,箸的起源可追溯到周代,《礼记》、《荀子》、《史记》都提到箸,在《韩非子》特别提到以荒淫奢侈闻名的纣王,使用“象箸”进餐。浙江大学游修龄教授认为:东西方出现进食工具筷子和刀叉的不同,和环境有关系,筷子要发源于有竹子的地方。而东汉、许慎的《说文解字》说:“箸从竹声。”则恰好验证了这样的结论。筷子的特点是“以不变应万变”,料想方的扁的,长的短的,硬的软的,统统可以一夹就起来,确实神奇。这一直很让中国人骄傲,并将其视作先进的象征。

刀叉的出现比筷子要晚很多。据游修龄教授的研究,刀叉的最初起源和欧洲古代游牧民族的生活习惯有关,他们马上生活随身带刀,往往将肉烧熟,割下来就吃。到了城市定居以后,刀叉进入家庭厨房,才不必随身带。但大约到18世纪才有了四个叉尖的叉子。所以西方使用刀叉不过四五百年历史。同筷子的简单相比,刀叉种类较多,属于专用工具,但由于这种“专”往往表现出“大巧若拙”而被国人忽视。回到餐桌上,也许应对炖得稀烂的黄豆猪蹄,筷子还能游刃有余,一旦碰上牛排,恐怕筷子就要自惭形秽了,刀叉这时表现出它们的专业特长。

仁者见仁,智者见智,关于筷子和刀叉与思维方式的关系很难得出结论。不过关于使用筷子更有利锻炼思维能力的说法却着实有科学依据。科学家们曾从生理学的观点对筷子提出一项研究成果,认定用筷子进食时,要牵动人体三十多个关节和五十多条肌肉,从而刺激大脑神经系统的活动,让人动作灵活、思维敏捷。而筷子中暗藏科学原理也是毋庸置疑的。

著名的物理学家、诺贝尔物理奖获得者李政道博士,在接受一位日本记者采访时,也有一段很精辟的论述:“中华民族是个优秀民族,中国人早在春秋战国时期就使用了筷子。如此简单的两根东西,却是高妙绝伦地运用了物理学上的杠杆原理。筷子是人类手指的延伸,手指能做的事它几乎都能做,而且不怕高温与寒冷。真是高明极了!”

2.用餐礼仪:

在礼仪方面,中西两者更显不同。在中国古代,在用餐过程中,就有一套繁文缛节。《礼记·曲记》载:“共食不饱,共饭不择手,毋放饭,……毋固获,毋扬饭,……卒食,客自前跪,撒饭齐以授相者,主人辞于客,然后客坐。”这段话大意主要是:大家共同吃饭时,不可以只顾自己吃饭。如果和别人一起吃饭,必须检查手的清洁。不要把多余的饭放回锅里,不要专占着食物,也不要簸扬着热饭。吃完饭后,客人应该起身向前收拾桌上的盘碟,交给主人,主人跟着起身,请客人不要劳动,然后客人再坐下。这些礼仪有的在现代也是必要的礼貌。在西方宴席上,主人一般只给客人夹一次菜,其余由客人自主食用,若客人不要,也不便硬让人家再吃,也不要按中国人的习惯频频给客人劝酒,夹菜。吃东西时,也不要发出响声,但客人要注意赞赏主人准备的饭菜。若与人谈话,只能与邻座的交谈,不要与距离远的交谈。所以,归根结底还是感性与理性之间的差异。但是,这种差异似乎在随着科学的发展而变的模糊。越来越多的中国人以不再只注重菜的色、香、味,而更注重它的卫生与营养了。尤其是在经历了非典以后。还有,人们因为越来越繁忙的工作,觉得中餐做起来太麻烦,不如来个汉堡方便等。这样一来在饮食上差异也就不太分明了。

四.中西饮食未来前景:

对于中国人,我们一出生便开始了品味中式饮食了,因而或多或少对厌倦中式饮食。同时我们现在又正处与经济全球化的形式中,西方饮食的进入使得我们有了新鲜感,开始习惯出入西式快餐店,品味与中式饮食不同的西餐或西式快餐。然而,中国人的饮食观念和习惯毕竟与西方有天壤之别,这决定了中式饮食在我国人民心目中的基础地位,它决不会因为西餐的介入而改变。但随着社会的发展,生活水平的逐步提高,西餐在中国会越来越盛行,但它只能是大多数人生活的“调味剂”,总不会有中国人将西餐当主食的一天。

中西文化差异英文

Differences between Chinese and Western culture As we know the differences between the our estern cultures and western cultures are quite obvious.I would like to state some of my opinions in this paper. I.difference in the thinking style People on the earth are homologous,but different people in different place have different performance on the way of thinking. Differences between Chinese and Western way of thinking reflected in many aspects.Such as the difference between abstract and concrete, reflected in their attitudes towards life can be understood as Westernersare more practical, and the Chinese are much more biased towards some spiritual experience. Westerners pay attention to logical thinking, but Chinese pay more attention to dialectical thinking and so on. As Chinese and western way of thinking are different, there are differences in expression of the order. For example,we can see that the names of western style are not like ours,they put their given names at the first place,while we put them after our family names,that is to say,we regard our family more important than ourselves,and it's the traditional way of estern thinking.Westerners have another way of thinking,they think that each person is important in our world and society,and a person should play a important role among our human beings. II.differences in daily communication Westerners are frank,but chinese are humility.The reflection between westerners and chinese on the treatment of praise is different.In the West, people can accept it generously. As the Chinese have long term impact of Confucian education, we treat others’ praise and recognition not often take the attitude of ourselves, or there is suspected of arrogant. When meeting acquaintances, chinese and westerners greet each other are also different. Chinese people often say "Have you eat ?" "Where are you going?"except the general asked”hello”. In western culture, this is not a greeting, but substantive issues. When British and American people meet,they usually use a polite phrase like "How are you?" or "Nice to meet you!" In addtion,when westerners accept gift from others,they are willing to open it and praise it directly,but chinese do not do like that. III.differences in customs Chinese people regard ourselves as descendants of the Dragon.Chinese have a supreme respect for the dragon, we think dragon is a symbol of our nation. In the dynasty time,Chinese emperors generally self-styled "dragon".However,in the West, the dragon was regarded as the devil, and it was killed by the legendary god of protection, so they set a day as a festival to celebrate the lifting of a disaster, and thank the protection of God.For this reason, when the students describe a person's lively, they say "He / She is full of vim and vigor." not"He / She is as lively as a dragon and tiger". Everyone has their favorite color, so does a country and a nation. Chinese like the red colour ,because chinese think red is a symbol of luck and enthusiam. But westerners perfer to the blue colour,they think blue can make themselves calm. Thus,the preferences of different colors can reflect the whole of a country’s aesthetic taste. IV. differences in eating cultrue Chinese and Western diets are very different, so the differences also have an impact on the national character. In China, a banquet, no matter what purpose, there will be only one form, that is, everyone sit around one table. People toast each other,and eat the same food in one plate,,It reflects the mutual respect between people even the traditional courteous virtue. Although from the health point of view, this dietary approach has obvious shortcomings, it is consistent with our

中西方饮食文化差异比较

中西方饮食文化差异比较 古人云:民以食为天。在人类社会的发展中,各国的饮食也逐渐形成了自己独特的文化。不同的地区有着不同的饮食习惯,不同的饮食习惯造就了不同的饮食文化。 (一)中国的饮食文化 中国有着五千多年的历史,形成了灿烂丰富、博大精深的饮食文化。中国人注重“天人合一”。中国饮食以食表意,以物传情。中国的饮食文化令人拍案叫绝,赏心悦目。 中国的传统饮食有四大特点: 1.重食:古人就有“民以食为天”之说。见面常问“吃了没有”,可见饮食文化的地位。朋友离合,送往迎来,人们都习惯在饭桌上表达惜别和欢迎的心情。感情上的风波,人们也往往借酒菜平息。这是饮食活动对社会心理的调节功能。 2.重养:以“五谷”养“六脏”,饮食中重视人体养生保健。中国的饮食注意各种食物的搭配,以相生相克、相辅相成等阴阳调和之理性认识指导烹饪。 3.重味:中国的饮食最注重食物的味,讲究“色、香、味、型”。孙中山先生讲“辩味不精,则烹调之述不妙”,将审美视作烹调的第一要义。 4.重理:对于饮食活动中的情感文化,有个引导和提升品位的问题。中国的饮食提倡健康优美、奋发向上的文化情调,追求一种高尚的情操。 (二)西方国家的饮食文化

西式餐饮的主要特点是:一是生,如牛排带血丝;二是冷,如凡是饮料都加冰块;三是甜,无甜不餐,无餐不甜。此外西式餐饮不讲究精细,追求快捷方便,也不奢华,比较大众化。 此外西餐还有以下显著特点: 1.重视各类营养成分的搭配组合,根据人体对各种营养(糖类、脂肪、蛋白质、维生素)和热量的需求来安排菜或加工烹调。 2.选料精细,用料广泛。西餐烹饪在选料时十分精细、考究,而且选料十分广泛。如美国菜常用水果制作菜肴或饭点,咸里带甜;意大利菜则会将各类面食制作成菜肴:各种面片、面条、面花都能制成美味的席上佳肴。 3.讲究调味,调味品种多。西餐烹调的调味品大多不同于中餐,如酸奶油、桂叶、柠檬等都是常用的调味品。 4.注重色泽。在色泽的搭配上则讲究对比、明快,因而色泽鲜艳,能刺激食欲。 5.工艺严谨,烹调方法多样。西餐十分注重工艺流程,讲究科学化、程序化,工序严谨。西餐的烹调方法很多,常用的有煎、烩、烤、焖、焗、炸、熏、铁扒等十几种,其中铁扒、烤、焗最具特色。 6.器皿讲究。烹调的炊具与餐具均有不同于中餐的特点。特别是餐具,除瓷制品外,水晶、玻璃及各类金属制餐具占很大比重。 二、中西方饮食方式的差异 (一)就坐形式的差异中西方的饮食方式有很大不同,这种差异对民族性格也有影响。

英语论文(中美文化差异)

The different food culture and education styles in China and America 王姣 (2010级法学院法学专业20101788) 摘要:正如我们知道的那样,中国和美国在文化上有很多差异。我想谈谈中国和美国在食品和大学教育的差异。随着经济的发展,越来越多的人注意食品和教育的质量。所以饮食、教育文化在我们的日常生活中也变得很流行。其实,我们有时并不了解中国和美国在文化方面的不同。比如,它们在饮食文化、教育风格上都是不同的。 关键字:中国,美国,饮食文化,教育风格,不同 Abstract: as we all know, China and American have many differences in culture. I want to talk about the differences in food culture and education styles. With the development of economic, more and more people pay attention on food and education quality. So the food and education culture has been becoming popular in our daily life. In fact, we some times don’t know the differences with China and American of the culture. For example, they have different in diet attitude, food objects, ways of eating and education styles. Key words:China, America, food culture, education styles, different 1. The different in food culture As we all know, “there are three important things when you in the outside,which are eating, wearing and living.” Y ou can see” eating”is in the first place, eating is really important in our life. And the diet is also a kind of culture. Now, I will make some explanations about the different food culture in China and America. First, we talk about the different in diet attitudes. As we can see, in China, we will eat something with sensibility. When we choose what to eat, we will care more about the color, the smell, the taste, the shape and the device. Because our nations in the past many years, the productive level is very low, and many people are always hungry, they can’t eat enough food. So if a kind of culture treats eating as the most important thing, there will appear two situations. On one hand, this function of eating will be played to maximize, not only for surviving, but also for using it to maintain health, which is the cultural basis of “if you want to keep health, you’d better choose to enjoy some delicious food rather than take medicines”. On the other hand, if pay too much attention on food, it will make people often pursuit the delicious food. While Americans maybe more rationality. When they eat something, the things they care most are the nutritious value, such as the protein, the fat, the vitamin, the minerals and the carbohydrate. But it has made some problems, for example, from Los Angeles to New Y ork, the steak is only one taste, which has no arts to speak of. As a dish, chicken is chicken, steak is steak. Nest, we will say the food objects. In America, they think the foods are used just to eat, so they often eat a large piece of meat, the whole chicken and other “hard food”. However in China, we eat something we must enjoying the taste of it. So the Chinese cooking also

As we know ,there are so many differences between culture of the East and West that I can not list all of their different aspects.I will focus on the differences of diet custom and teaching system.For your better understanding ,I will set examples of China and America. It is no doubt that it is a tradition to use chopsticks for Chinese.But people in America prefer to forks and knives.This different result is based on different food they are like .Americans choose to eat beefsteak,bread,and salad,while Chinese people choose noodles ,pancakes and rice.What is more,the custom of drinking tea in China and drinking coffee in America are stand out particularly.However,there is a trend that the food in both countries has been mixture.For example,the coffee and bread have introduced to China.The famous KFC is very popular at children. The gap of teaching system between China and America is big.Chinese students always complain about their homework.Too much homework has limited the time to exercise and relax.They have to recite many things as to get a high mark.Homework comes the first to them. In my opinion,the study in America is more interesting .Teachers pay attentions to training students skills in thinking in realastic life not to emphasis on the importances of memories.In a addition,the rate of going to school ,the salary of teaching ,and the job of gruduates are quite different,too.I should say that Chima government should make great efforts to improve its teaching syetem.I am also expect to be one day ,the West give more cheers to our country.

With the rapidly growing popularity of science and technology, the process of globalization made great achievements. We have more chances to communicate with foreigners. Intercultural communicator has increasingly become a popular central issue of the public. To discuss this issue from cognitive perspective, western culture is based on individualism rather than on collectivism. For instance, in the US, you always talk about individual rights. This is clearly different in China where a country is placed above your own self. From the affect point of view, Chinese emotional expression is subtle but not directly. On the contrary, westerners express more enthusiastic. Furthermore, the Chinese people do not say yes or no, they are more accustomed to tactfully convey his meaning. No doubt, the Westerners would like to directly deliver how they think and what they want. In behavior, many behavioral differences are due to the impact of many aspects which cover environmental, cultural, historical and other factors. Do not ask for the age and income is a case in point. We should respect others. Respect for their privacy, their national culture, and religious beliefs. Second, we want to

The Differences of Dietary Cultures Between China and the West Shangqiu Normal University May 2012

摘要 饮食是人们生存的根本,中西方都不例外。饮食文化是民族文化的重要组成部分。随着21世纪全球化进程,跨文化交际日益频繁,其中饮食文化成了东西方文化交流的最基本内容。但是由于长期以来形成的生活环境、风俗习惯、价值观念的不同,中西方形成了各自不同的饮食文化。由于饮食文化的不同,中西方人在交流的过程中有时会产生一些误解。本文主要从中西方饮食观念、烹饪取材、饮食结构、烹饪方式以及上菜顺序等方面来论述中西方饮食文化差异,以促进中西方文化交际的顺利进行。 关键词:饮食;饮食文化;差异

Abstract Diet is the base of living, with no exception in China or the West. Dietary culture is an important part of the national culture. With the entrance of the 21st century, cross-cultural communication has become more and more frequent, among which dietary culture has been the most basic content. However, because of the differences in living environments, customs and value concepts China and the West have formed their own different dietary cultures. As a result, there appears some misunderstandings sometimes between Chinese and the Westerners in their communication. This paper will analyze the differences of dietary cultures between China and the West from dietary concepts, raw materials, dietary structures, cooking patterns and the order of serving dishes so as to facilitate the efficient communication between Chinese and Westerners.

中西饮食文化差异对餐饮管理的影响

【摘要】在世界全球化的今天,国家和民族间的交流亦越发频繁。而“吃”作为一种可以拉近彼此距离的交流手段,理应加以重视。“吃的文化”即饮食文化,也是文化交流中不也或缺的重要部分。本文将就中西饮食文化从饮食观念、宴会礼仪及饮食内容三大方面加以比较,展示中西餐饮文化差异,以便更加顺利的进行中西间的跨文化交际。 【关键词】中西方饮食文化差异餐饮管理 不同的民族及国家有着不同的饮食文化,而饮食文化又是文化系统的一个重要组成部分。了解不同民族及国家饮食文化间的差异有利于促进他们间的文化交流,利于跨文化的交际。而中国和英美等西方国家的饮食文化,在对于饮食的观念,宴会礼仪及饮食内容方面都存在着很大的差异。比较和了解这些差异,将会为中西方将来的跨文化交际提供依据。 1饮食观念上的差异 1.1“泛食主义”对“食用主义” 在中国,“吃”不仅仅是“吃”,它被赋予了丰富的意义。古语有云“民以食为天”,可见饮食一事在国人心中的重要地位。而“民以食为天”的这种思想,也被很多学者称为“泛食主义”。饮食,在国人心中不止是一种对“胃”与“味”的满足,它亦溶于人们的生活之中,与精神世界挂钩。例如,以前人们一见面的寒暄语就是“吃了吗?”,可见古来人们都把“吃”或为“吃而准备当作很重要

的事。”小孩出生的时候要办满月酒,成人结婚时要办婚宴,高寿安康时要办寿宴,长辞人世时要办丧礼,诸如此类,中国人的一生都与饮食紧密关。“吃”可以被看做一种传递心理沟通交流和表达礼节的方式。“泛食主义”在汉语i也有充分的体现。易中天先生曾在《闲话中国人》中写道:“如前述把人称为‘口’,吧职业称为‘饭碗’等。又比如思索叫做‘拒绝’,体验叫‘品味’,嫉妒叫‘吃醋’,幸福叫‘陶醉’,司空见惯叫‘家常便饭’,轻而易举叫‘小菜一碟’……” 1 可见“民以食为天”的中国人心中及生活中,饮食的重要性。 而在西方人眼中,“吃”仅仅是一种生存手段和交际方式。他们更多看中的食物可以提供的营养及那能量。从亚伯拉罕马斯洛的需求定律和《美国礼仪事典》都可以看出。需求定律中,认定需求被分为五个层次,其中饮食属于最低的一层。而《美国礼仪事典》曾将各类宴会的目的总结为以下几点:向提供服务者表示感谢;对刚刚达成的一笔交易表示庆祝;为了赢得客户的信任;请人帮忙……”2可见比起中国的“吃”,西方的吃只是停留在生存交际方面,没有赋予更多样而深远的含义。 1.2“集体主义”对“个人主义” 中国人受儒道两教长期的影响,追求“仁”“爱”,想要创造的是个和谐的社会。这样的社会群体的主导价值观,必须是“集体主义”。从“一人得道,鸡犬升天”到“亲谊、乡谊、世谊、年谊”之交等,无不打上中国群体文化的烙印。3而在宴饮同时,中国人也喜欢围坐在一个大圆桌旁,觥筹交错,把酒言欢,敬酒聊天,欢声不绝于耳,而且共同享受桌上的菜肴。一片其乐融融之景象。 而西方人更注重的是个性的发展,他们强调individualism。他们的主导价值观,相对中国的而言,是“个体主义”。他们吃饭的时候,多数是每人各有一小份食物,不是像中国人一样从桌上的大盘里夹菜喝汤,而且一般是和坐在隔壁的人说话,声音较小,不似中国式的满桌交谈。结伴出去吃饭是也是AA制。 1.3“讲排场”对”随意简单” “持家要俭,待客要丰”是中国的传统观念,加之中国人好面子,就会觉得请客关乎面子问题,讲究排场是必要的。一般正式的宴请时要上七八道大菜,不包括之前的零嘴及收尾时的甜点汤饮在内。菜色越多,品质越好,就越是显示出主人的好客及身份。当然这种情况下,很多食物是吃不完的。其中比较极而有名的例子就是集合满族和汉族饮食特色的巨型筵席—满汉全席。原为康熙皇帝大寿所举办的筵席包括咸甜苦辣各色菜式,各类山珍海味共一百零八道,可谓加入珍馐,极为奢华,尽显皇家气派。 而西方人没有这样的面子观念。他们盛大的西餐宴席通常不过是六道菜,而且其中只有两道菜算上是菜,其余不过是陪衬。平时宴请,饭菜更为简单。在美国,有时候朋友聚餐会采取大家作贡献的手法,称之为“Potluck”,即每人都带一样菜,让大家共享。4 即使是在举行party时,也只是提供一些简单的食物,不提供主食。可见西方人注重的不是食物的丰盛,他们是要借助party或宴请来调节气氛,让客人享受更美好的时候,利于之后的交流。 2宴会礼仪上的差异 由于历史文化不同,中西方的宴会礼仪也存在着很多差异。以下将主要就餐

【篇一】如何对待中西文化差异英语作文 In many parts of the world , personal influence is essential in achieving success. This is not true in the United States, where success usually results from hard work , education, skill, and personal initiative , America is truly a "do-it-yourself" society ; success is not dependent on family origins or the help of an influential person . Personal progress is the result of individual effort. Because effort and initiative are so important in America , there are many customs that may be different from those practiced in other countries. For example , it is not considered dishonorable to quit a job, even if you have had it for only a short time . Moving from job-to -job , or "job-hopping ", as it is called , is quite acceptable in the United States. Frequently , the opportunity to change jobs offers workers a chance to move up to a better position. Americans like to move from place to place trying new jobs, meeting new people and living in different parts of the country. "Job-hopping" also gives employers a chance to benefit from the new ideas and skills that different people bring to their jobs even if such people are employed for only a short time. 【篇二】如何对待中西文化差异英语作文 The whole question of the changing role of Blacks in American society as been the subject of news***** articles around the world so frequently that visitors to the United States do not know what to expect when they arrive.
