跨文化交际期末考试题Ⅰ. Define the following items.1.c ontext :P492.n oise: P543.i ntercultural communication :communication between people whose cultural perceptions and symbol systems are distinct enough to alter the communication event.4.i ndividualism: P995.c ollectivism: P996.h igh-context culture :P110 a culture in which meaning is not necessarily contained in words. Information is provided through gestures, the use of space, and even silence.7.l ow-context culture :P110 a culture in which the majority of the information is vested in the explicit code.8.v erbal communication :communication done both orally and in written language 9.n onverbal communication :involves all nonverbal stimuli in a communicationsetting that is generated by both the source and his or her use of the environment and that has potential message value for the source or receiver.II. Answer the following questions(简答题)1. What is the culture, and what are the characteristics of the culture? P45what the behavior and customs mean to the people who are following them.2. What’s the relationship between culture and language?Culture influences language by way of symbols and rules for using those symbols, as well as our perceptions of the universe (the meaning associated with the symbols).Language, on the other hand, would seem to have a major impact on the way an individual perceives and conceptualizes the world.3. How do Japanese people refuse? P1354. How do Chinese and western people respond to others’ compliment? P1625. What kinds of nonverbal communication are often used in our daily communication? P1916. What are the functions of the nonverbal communication? P2187.What are the differences on receiving gift s between Chinese and westerner?In the West, it is regarded as polite to open gifts as soon as they are given to express appreciation. In China, the situation is quite the reverse. Norma lly we Chinese feel that if you open the gift as soon as it is given, you might embarrass the person wh o gives the gift and you might be thought greedy. Therefore, Chinese people tend to open the gifts af ter the visitors have left.In China, many people send gifts without wrappi ng them, and if they wrap them, they usually tell t he receiver what is inside, and the receiver will tha nk the sender and put the gift aside without unwra pping them since they already know what is insid e. English receivers open the gifts in front of the se nders of the gifts.8.Describe the different ways in showing hospitality between Chinese culture and west ern culture.Chinese guests always refuse offer of drinks or food to demonstrate politeness in seeming not to wish to put their host to any trouble.Sometimes an offer is not a real offer but a polite remark. After we say 'no', we usually wait for the second and thir d offer. If the host just brings the food or drink an d ignores 'no', we ill accept it. Chinese like to press their guests to drink or eat to show their hospitality. While westerners always accept or refuse offer o f drinks or food very genuinely.Their refusal is acce pted as genuine.Westerners don’t to press. To pres s people to have food or drink after they have refu sed is frowned upon and can cause embarrassment s.III. Case Analysis (You are required t o state cultural phenomenon in each cas e)Case 1Li Lan had an American friend Susan. They usually had lunch together and Li Lan often asked Susan for advice on problems she face d adjusting to American society. Susan gave Li Lan a lot of advice and helped her to impro ve her English. Once Li Lan needed urgently a big sum of money to pay her tuition fee. Si nce she has no other friends in the States, she turned to Susan for help and promised that she would return the money soon.To Li Lan’s great disappointment, this time Susan didn’t seem happy to lend the money to her. Though Li Lan returned the money as she promised, they didn’t get along well from then on.Question: Why did Li Lan feel unpleasant?Li Lan asked to borrow money from her A merican friend Susan, which is rarely part of Western friendship. Li Lan and Susan have di fferent expectations of friendship.In the West, people prefer to be independe nt and equal rather than dependent, so they don't feel comfortable in a relationship in whi ch one person gives more and the other pers on is dependent on what is given. Among frie nds they mostly provide emotional support to each other and spend time together, so they rarely borrow or lend money to each other. They would ask for a loan from the bank rath er than from their friends.While in China, people expect their friends to be loyal to each other, and they even take risks for their friends. So they would give no t only emotional support to each other but al so concrete help to each other, such as helpi ng to find a job, solving a problem, or even g iving money to help one out over a long peri od of time. So when a friend is in need, the fi rst person he or she wants to ask for help is naturally his/her friend.。

What is intercultural communication? What have you learned from this class?
3. Intercultural Communication
• Samovar & Porter
Intercultural communication is communication between people whose cultural perceptions and symbol systems are distinct enough to alter the communication event. intercultural communication refers to any communication between two members of any cultural communities.
• Non verbal communication includes those important but unspoken signals that individuals exhibit, specifically: body language (encompassing carriage/posture, appearance, listening, eye contact), hand gestures, and facial expressions.

The same situation can be interpreted quite differently by diverse people. The effect of culture is great. Applying these same cues to someone from another culture may not work. So people in the United States frequently err in guessing the age of Japanese individuals, such as judging a Japanese college student in mid-20s to be only 14 or 15.2 This case can reflect the differences between individualist culture and collectivist culture. Cultures characterized by collectivism emphasize relationships among people to a greater degree. Collectivist cultures stress interdependent activities and suppressing individual aims for the group’swelfare.3 This case can reflect the lack of idiomatic equivalence between two cultures is a barrier to successful translation. Language that are different often lack words that are directly translatable. This leads to the lack of vocabulary equivalence, which is one of the causes of translation problems.1. In the direct style, associated with individualism, the wants, needs, and desires of the speaker are embodied in the spoken message. In the indirect style, associated with collectivism, the wants, needs, and goals of the speaker are not obvious in the spoken message.2Translation problems usually arise when communicators speak different languages and hold different cultures. They are the lack of vocabulary equivalence, the lack of idiomatic equivalence, the lack of grammatical- syntactical equivalence, lack of experiential equivalence, the lack of conceptual equivalence.3. The use of silence in communication is different from culture to culture. Silence can communicate agreement, apathy, awe, confusion, contemplation, disagreement, embarrassment, obligation, regret, repressed hostility, respect, sadness, thoughtfulness, or any number of meanings. In eastern cultures, silence has long been regarded as a virtue. While in western cultures, silence has generally been considered socially disagreeable. To most people in the United States, silence means lack of attention and lack of initiative. To the Chinese, silence means agreement.假如你不了解另一种文化,在交际过程中就会很容易出现假定一致性。

People who feel close will be close, though the actual distances will vary between cultures. For Americans we can discern four main categories of distance:intimate, personal, social and public . Intimate distance ranges from direct Contact to about 45 centimeters. Beyond this comes personal stance. . This stands at between 45 and 80 Centimeters , It is the most usual distance maintained for conversations between friends and relatives o Social distance coversPeople who work together or are meeting at social gatherings Distances here tend to be kept between 1 . 3 to 2 meters . Beyond this comes Public distance, much as that between a lecturer and his audienceAll Cultures draw lines between what is an appropriate and what ills an inappropriate Social o t distance for different types of realty o unship They differ,however,in where they draw these lines . Look at an international reception with representatives from the U S. and Arabic countries, conversing and you will see the American pirouetting backward surround the hall pursued by their Arab partners The Americans wilt be trying to keep a distance between themselves and their partners—which they have grown used to and regard as "normal”. They probably will not even notice themselves trying to adjust the distance between themselves and their Arab partners whom they regard as being a bit” pushy". The Arabs, On the Other hand, coming from a cherisher, e much closer distance is the norm, may feel that the Americans are a little 'stand-offish' . Finding themselves happier standing close to and even touching those they are in conversation With,they will relentlessly pursue the Americans round the room trying to close the distance between themThe appropriateness of physical contact varies between different cultures 0ne study 0f the number of times people converse in coffee shops over a one—hour period showed the following interesting variations:London, 0;Florida, 2;Paris, 10;and Puerto Rico 18b . Not only does it vary between societies, however, it also varies between different sub——cult rues within one society . Young people in Britain, for example, are more likely to touch and hug friends than the older generation This may be partly a matter of growing older,but it also reflects the fact that the older generation grew up at fl time when touching was less common for all age groups Forty years ago,for example,footballers would never hug and kiss one another on the field after a goal as they do today31.. What are the four main categories of distance for Americans?32.. How far apart should people who work together stand when communicating with each other?33.Why are Americans trying to adjust the distance between themselves and their Arabpartners?34.Why do Arabs feel that Americans are being 'stand—offish’ ?35.When conversing, do the English and Americans touch each other more than the French? Part2:Questions 3 6-40 are based on this part. (1 0 points)Read Passage 2 and then decide whether Statements 36 —40 are True or False according to the information given in the passage. Write ”T" for true and "F" for false on the Answer Sheet.Passage 2Nobody actually wants to cause offence but, as business becomes even more international, it is increasingly easy to get it wrong. There may be a single European market but it does not mean that managers behave the same in Greece as they do in Denmark.In many European countries handshaking is an automatic gesture. In France good manners require that on arriving at a business meeting a manager shakes hands with everyone present. Handshaking is almost as popular in other countries, including Germany, Belgium and Italy. But Northern Europeans, such as the British and Scandinavians, are not quite so fond of physical demonstrations of friendliness.In Europe the most common challenge is not the content of the food,but the way you behave as you eat .In France it is not good manners to raise tricky questions of business over the main course. Business has its place:after the cheese course. Unless you are prepared to eat in silence you have to talk about something ----------------------------------------------- s omething, that is, other than the business deal,which you are continually chewing over in your head.Italians give similar importance to the whole process of business entertaining.In fact, in Italy the biggest fear,as course after course appears,is that you entirely forget you are there on business. If you have the energy , you can always do the polite thing when the meal finally ends, and offer to pay. Then, after a lively discussion, you must remember the next polite thing to do—let your host pick up the bill.The Germans are notable for the amount of formality they bring to business.As a1) outsider,it is often difficult to know whether colleagues have been working together for 30 years or have just met for the first time in their life . 1f you are used to calling people by their first names this can be a little strange.To the Germans,titles are important.Forgetting that someone should be called Herr Doctor or Frau Directory might cause serious offence.It is equally offensive to call them by a title they do not possess.In Italy the question of title is further confused by the fact that everyone with a university degree can be called Nott ore and engineers,lawyers and architects may also expect to be called by their professional titles.These cultural challenges exist side by side with the problems of doing business in a foreign language. Language, of course, is full of difficulties ----------------- disaster may be only asyllable away.But the more you know of the culture of the country you are dealing with,the less likely you are to get into difficulties.It is worth the effort.It might be rather hard to explain that the reason you lost the contract was not the product or the price,but the fact that You offended your hosts in a light-hearted comment over an aperitif Good manners are admired:they can also make or break the deal.36.People in Britain shake hands just as much as people in Germany.37.In France people prefer talking about business during meals.38.It is not polite to insist on paying for a meal if you are in Italy.39.German business people don' t like to be called by their titles. 40.Italian professionals areusually addressed by their titles.Section IV:Communication Analysis [30 points]Instructions:The following are three different cases of cross-cultural communication.In each of the cases there is something to be improved upon.Write an analysis on what is to be desired for more successful communication or cultural understanding in each case by answering Questions4 l - 43 respectively.

He only gave me a box of chocolate as a present for the New Year After I got home, I found the box had already been opened.

But Mike only offered him a plate of roasted chicken and a glass of orange juice. Lin was used to having a main course, and asked Mike if he had any rice. Mike said he only had fried noodles, and Lin had to make do with it. Though Lin knew Americans didn' t care very much about what food they ate, he still felt surprised because he had taken Mike to the most famous duck restaurant in Beijing -------------------------------------------------------- Q uanjude ------ when he arrived in Beijing.Question 42:Why did Lin feel surprised? Offer some advice to him about adjusting to his new environment in America.Case 3(13 points)When Zhang Tao traveled in America , he lived in the home of his American friend , Bill.0nce after he had traveled back,he found Bill was in a bad mood.When he asked what the problem was,Bill told Zhang Tao that his son Adam got furious about the noise Zhang made when walking upstairs and also because he was using too much water in the solar powered shower and Adam had to have his shower in cold water.Bill told Zhang Tao that he should walk more softly in future,and have a fast shower to save water.Zhang Tao felt uneasy.How could the host set such rules for his guest!Question 43:Why did Zhang Tao feel uneasy?试卷代号:1028中央广播电视大学2003--2004学年度第二学期“开放本科”期末考试英语专业跨文化交际试题答案及评分标准(供参考)2004年7月Section I:Listening [Bo points] Part 1.

Passage 1Communication styles and norms differ significantly between cultures, and understanding these differences is essential for successful cross-cultural communication.In some cultures, such as the United States and Canada, direct communication is highly valued. People tend to speak their mind openly and directly, even if it means disagreeing with others. They believe in being straightforward and assertive.On the other hand, in many Asian cultures, such as Japan and China, indirect communication is the norm. People are more likely to hint at what they mean rather than stating it outright. They often use nonverbal cues and context to convey their messages. This communication style values harmony and maintaining face.When engaging in cross-cultural communication, it is important to be aware of these differences and adjust your communication style accordingly. If you are from a direct communication culture, you may need to be more sensitive to nonverbal cues when interacting with individuals from an indirect communication culture.1. According to the passage, direct communication is highly valued in which cultures?A. Asian culturesB. United States and CanadaC. European culturesD. African cultures2. What is the communication style in Japan and China?A. Direct communicationB. Indirect communicationC. Nonverbal communicationD. Contextual communication参考答案:1. B2.
