Para1 Body language is one of the most powerful means of communication, often even more powerful than spoken language. People around the world show all kinds of feelings, wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud. It is possible to "read" others around us, even if they do not intend for us to catch their unspoken communication. Of course, body language can be misread, but many gestures and actions are universal.
but many gestures and actions are universal. Para7 With so many cultural differences between people, it is great
to have some similarities in body language. We can often be wrong about each other, so it is an amazing thing that we understand each other as well as we do!

(完整版)Unit4CulturalEncounters课文翻译综合教程二Unit 4 Cultural EncountersSusan BassnettWe live in an age of easy access to the rest of the world. Cheap flights mean that millions of people are able to visit places their parents could only dream about, while the Internet enables us to communicate with the remotest places and the traditional postal services are now referred to almost mockingly as "snail mail." When students go off back-packing, they can email their parents from Internet cafes in the Himalayas or from a desert oasis. And as for mobile phones — the clicking of text messaging at any hour of the day or night has become familiar to us all. Everyone, it seems, provided, of course, they can afford to do so, need never be out of touch.Significantly also, this great global communications revolution is also linked to the expansion of English, which has now become the leading international language. Conferences and business meetings around the globe are held in English, regardless of whether anyone present is a native English speaker. English has simply become the language that facilitates communication, and for many people learning English is an essential stepping stone on the road to success.So why, you may wonder, would anyone have misgivings about all these wonderful developments, and why does the rise of English as a global language cause feelings of uneasiness for some of us? For there are indeed problems with the communications revolution, problems that are not only economic. Most fundamental is the profound relationship between language and culture that lies at the heart of societyand one that we overlook at our peril.Different cultures are not simply groups of people who label the world differently; languages give us the means to shape our views of the world and languages are different from one another. We express what we see and feel through language, and because languages are so clearly culture-related, often we find that what we can say in one language cannot be expressed at all in another. The English word "homesickness" translates into Italian as "nostalgia," but English has had to borrow that same word to describe a different state of mind, something that is not quite homesickness and involves a kind of longing. Homesickness and nostalgia put together are almost, but not quite, the Portuguese "saudade," an untranslatable word that describes a state of mind that is not despair, angst (English borrowed that from German), sadness or regret, but hovers somewhere in and around all those words.The early Bible translators hit the problem of untranslatability head-on. How do you translate the image of the Lamb of God for a culture in which sheep do not exist? What exactly was the fruit that Eve picked in the Garden of Eden? What was the creature that swallowed Jonah, given that whales are not given to swimming in warm, southern seas? Faced with unsurmountable linguistic problems, translators negotiated the boundaries between languages and came up with a compromise.Compromising is something that speakers of more than one language understand. When there are no words in another language for what you want to say, you make adjustments and try to approximate. English and Welsh speakers make adjustments regarding the colour spectrum in the grey / green / blue / brown range, since English has four words and Welsh hasthree. And even where words do exist, compromises still need to be made. The word "democracy" means completely different things in different contexts, and even a word like "bread" which refers to a staple food item made of flour means totally different things to different people. The flat breads of Central Asia are a long way away from Mother's Pride white sliced toasties, yet the word "bread" has to serve for both.Inevitably, the spread of English means that millions of people are adding another language to their own and are learning how to negotiate cultural and linguistic differences. This is an essential skill in today's hybrid world, particularly now when the need for international understanding has rarely been so important. But even as more people become multilingual, so native English speakers are losing out, for they are becoming ever more monolingual, and hence increasingly unaware of the differences between cultures that languages reveal. Communicating in another language involves not only linguistic skills, but the ability to think differently, to enter into another culture's mentality and shape language accordingly. Millions of people are discovering how to bridge cultures, while the English-speaking world becomes ever more complacent and cuts down on foreign language learning programmes in the mistaken belief that it is enough to know English.World peace in the future depends on intercultural understanding. Those best placed to help that process may not be the ones with the latest technology and state of the art mobile phones, but those with the skills to understand what lies in, under and beyond the words spoken in many different languages.文化冲突我们生活在一个交流非常便捷的时代。

Listen carefully and answer the questions.Good morning, everyone. I'm here to introduce a new course that will be offered next semester. The course is called "Introduction to Environmental Science." This course would be of interest to students from different academic backgrounds, as it covers a wide range of topics related to the environment.Firstly, let me provide you with an overview of the course content. The course will explore major environmental issues, such as climate change, pollution, and resource depletion. We will discuss the causes and consequences of these issues, as well as potential solutions. Students will have the opportunity to develop a holistic view of the environment and understand the interconnectedness of various environmental processes.The course will consist of lectures, guest speakers, and group discussions. We will also incorporate field trips to environmental organizations and research institutes, allowing students to apply their knowledge in real-world settings. This hands-on experience will enhance students' understanding and give them a chance to engage with professionals working in the field.Assessment for the course will be based on class participation, assignments, and a final exam. This will encourage students to actively participate in discussions and apply what they have learned to solve environmental problems. Additionally, students will have the option to work on a group project, where they can further explore a specific environmental issue and propose solutions.The prerequisites for this course are an introductory science course and good English proficiency. It is open to both undergraduate and graduate students. For those interested, registration will open next week, and limited seats are available.

How will students apply their knowledge in the course?9. What will assessment be based on?10. Who can take the course?Unit 2 Cultural DifferencesPart A1. W: I was surprised to learn that people in this country eat dinner so late in the evening.M: Yes, it's quite different from what I'm used to back home. But I've gotten used to it now.Q: What does the man say about the dinner time in this country?2. W: Excuse me, is it okay to give a gift with one hand in this culture?M: No, it's considered impolite.

The only thing is, I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the cultural differences.Professor: That's perfectly normal. It can be a bit challenging at first. Which aspect of the culture do you find the most different?Student: The concept of personal space is something I'm still trying to get used to. In my home country, people tend to keep a larger distance when talking to each other. Here, it's much closer, which I find a bit uncomfortable.Professor: Ah, yes. That's a common observation. In this country, physical closeness is seen as a sign of friendliness and warmth. People often stand closer to each other when conversing. It's an interesting cultural difference, isn't it?Student: It definitely is. I'm slowly adapting, but it still feels awkward at times. Another thing I've noticed is that punctuality is highly valued here. Back home, being a few minutes late is usually not a big deal. But here, it seems like everyone is always on time for appointments.Professor: Yes, that's true. Being on time is considered a sign of respect for others' time. It's important to be mindful of that cultural expectation. Are there any other cultural differences that have stood out to you?Student: Well, the food is quite different too. The flavors, spices, and even the eating etiquette are all new to me. It's been an adventure trying outnew dishes, though. I've discovered some amazing flavors I didn't know existed before.Professor: That's one of the joys of traveling and experiencing different cultures. It broadens your perspective and introduces you to new and exciting things. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions or concerns about adjusting to the cultural differences. I'm here to support you throughout your study abroad journey.11. What does the student find challenging about the cultural differences?12. How do people in the country view physical closeness when conversing?13. Why is punctuality highly valued in the country?14. What does the student say about the food in the country?15. According to the professor, what is one of the benefits of experiencing different cultures?。

英语选修2unit4作文The Importance of Cultural Exchange。

Cultural exchange is the process of sharing ideas, beliefs, values, and customs between different cultures. It is essential for people to understand and respect each other's cultures, as it helps to promote harmony and understanding between different communities. In this essay, I will discuss the importance of cultural exchange and how it can benefit individuals and societies.Firstly, cultural exchange promotes mutual understanding and respect between different cultures. When people from different cultures interact, they learn about each other's customs, traditions, and beliefs. This helps to break down stereotypes and prejudices, and fosters greater tolerance and acceptance of diversity. For example, when a person travels to a foreign country and experiences the local culture, they gain a deeper appreciation of the people and their way of life.Secondly, cultural exchange can lead to the development of new ideas and innovations. When people from different cultures come together, they bring with them different perspectives and ways of thinking. This can sparkcreativity and innovation, as people collaborate and learn from each other. For example, the fusion of differentstyles of music has led to the creation of new genres, such as jazz and hip-hop.Thirdly, cultural exchange can have economic benefits. When people from different cultures trade goods and services, they create new markets and opportunities for growth. For example, the popularity of Japanese anime and manga has led to a thriving industry, with fans from all over the world buying merchandise and attending conventions.Finally, cultural exchange can contribute to global peace and security. When people understand and respect each other's cultures, they are less likely to engage inconflict and violence. For example, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)promotes cultural exchange as a means of promoting peaceand understanding between nations.In conclusion, cultural exchange is essential for promoting mutual understanding, creativity, economic growth, and global peace. It is important for individuals and societies to engage in cultural exchange, whether through travel, education, or other means, in order to buildbridges between different cultures and promote a more harmonious world.。

As Brown explains, “It is apparent that culture, as an ingrained set of behaviors and modes of perception, becomes highly important in the learning of a second language. • A language is a part of a culture, and a culture is a part of a language; the two are intricately interwoven so that one cannot separate the two without losing the significance of either language or culture.

人教版高中英语必修四unit 4 精品教案

人教版高中英语必修四unit 4 精品教案Unit 4 Body languageI.单元教学目标II.目标语言Ⅲ.教材分析和教材重组1.教材分析本单元以Body Language——“体态语”为中心话题,具体涉及什么是“体态语”,如何理解“体态语”,以及“体态语”的跨文化性等。

本单元的语言技能和语言知识也都是围绕“体态语”这一中心话题设计的,旨在通过单元教学,用听、说、读、写、做(表演)等多种形式,让学生正确认识和掌握“体态语”在交际中的作用和意义,使学生明确“体态语”在人类交际中的重要性,了解“体态语”在不同民族、不同文化交际中的多样性;使学生在今后的日常生活、学习、工作和交往中尽量减少或避免运用“体态语”时可能产生的误解,提高他们的“语言交际”能力和“非语言交际”能力。

1.1 WARMING UP 以列表对比(填充及增补)的形式,并通过WARMING UP 的活动,让学生了解有声语言与“体态语”的对应关系,了解语言意义与行为意义(“体态语”)在交际中具有同等重要的作用。

同时,学生在听、说、做(即表演“体态语”的动作)中能够增进对语言交际的感性认识,为他们在阅读过程中上升到对语言交际的理性认识打下基础。

1.2 PRE-READING 通过提供三个关于不同文化背景下“体态语”的问题,启发学生思考我们所学习的“语言”的目的、形式、功能。

通过引导学生联系自己日常生活的实际,提高学生努力学习英语的积极性和自觉性;同时培养学生留心社会、关注生活的洞察力,为引导学生进一步“阅读”作好准备。

1.3 READING 是一篇介绍性(记叙文)体裁的文章,主要介绍了各种文化背景下的“体态语”的异同,为学生提供了来自不同国度、不同语言文化背景的“体态语”及其在交际中的异同和影响的具体例证。

学生也可以结合自己在语言交际中所遇到的实际例子来进一步理解“交际,毫无问题可言吗?”这一主题。

1.4 COMPREHENDING 包括八个问题(前5个旨在检查学生对阅读材料细节的理解,6~7旨在引导学生对“体态语”的意义及文化差异的思考,第8个检查学生能否通过细节进行推理判断),通过对来自不同国度、不同语言文化背景的六个角色对待男女不同性别所使用的“体态语”异同的(学生在老师指导下的自我或小组讨论后的)归纳,进一步熟悉和掌握“体态语”在不同语言文化交际中的作用和意义。
