跨文化交际(四)解析
Perception is the means by which we make sense of our physical and social world. As Gamble and Gamble state, “perception is the process of selecting, organizing and interpreting sensory data in a way that enables us to make sense of our world.” The physical mechanism of perception is pretty much the same in all people: sensory organs such as the eyes, ears, and nose permit us to sense our environment, and the sensations received by them are routed through our nervous system to our brains, where they are interpreted and accorded meaning in two-stage sequence.
Cultural Patterns
The manner in which we perceive the world rests on more than beliefs and values. Cultures are extremely complex and consist of numerous interrelated cultural orientations besides beliefs and values, including attitudes, norms, and material aspects. A useful umbrella term that allow us to talk about these orientations collectively instead of separately is cultural patterns, which refers to both the conditions that contribute to the way in which a people perceive and think about the world, and the manner in which they live in that world.

跨文化交际英语阅读教程4课文翻译第一课：文化差异与交际文化差异的定义文化差异是指不同国家或地区之间的历史、地理、宗教、经济等方面的差异。
这些差异会影响到人们的价值观、信仰、行为习惯、社会组织形式等。
在跨文化交际中，了解和尊重文化差异非常重要。
文化差异对交际的影响文化差异对交际有着深远的影响。
不同文化背景的人在沟通交流中可能会遇到以下问题： 1. 语言障碍：不同国家和地区使用不同的语言，理解和表达存在障碍。
2. 非语言符号的差异：不同国家和地区的非语言符号（如手势、表情、礼仪等）可能有不同的含义，容易引发误解。
3. 礼貌和礼仪的差异：不同文化对礼貌和礼仪的要求有所不同，可能会造成交际上的尴尬和冲突。
4. 价值观的冲突：不同文化对价值观的理解和认同也存在差异，可能会引发理念上的冲突。
跨文化交际的技巧为了更好地进行跨文化交流，以下是一些技巧： 1. 学习对方的语言：学习对方的语言可以加深理解，减少语言障碍。
2. 了解对方的文化：了解对方的文化背景、价值观念和行为习惯，增进理解和尊重。
3. 尊重对方的非语言符号：避免使用可能被对方误解的非语言符号，尊重对方的习俗和文化。
4. 灵活调整自己的礼貌和礼仪：在不同文化背景下，灵活调整自己的礼貌和礼仪，以尊重对方的文化。
5. 接纳不同的价值观：不同文化的人们对于相同事物的看法可能存在差异，要学会接纳并理解对方的价值观。
第二课：文化沟通中的误解和解决高、低沟通语境的差异高沟通语境的文化中，人们通过非语言符号、隐含的信息和环境背景来传递信息；低沟通语境的文化中，人们更加注重直接明确的信息。
了解和适应不同的沟通语境是避免误解的关键。
文化差异引发的误解1.时间观念：在一些高度重视时间效率的文化中，迟到被视为不尊重；而在某些文化中，迟到是普遍存在的现象。
2.礼貌和直接表达：一些文化注重礼节和婉转的表达方式，而另一些文化更加注重直接坦率的交流。
3.非语言符号：不同文化的手势、表情、身体接触等非语言符号可能有不同的含义，可能会引发误解。

Roger was confused by Rosalita's behavior. Could you give him an explanation ?
Comment
The problem resulted from the misunderstanding of the word "hustle".
Question:
Why did the Italian shop owner make such a mistake ?
Case 2
Roger was the Personnel Executive (人事执行员) of a large American multinational firm. In 1996, Roger was working in Brazil to help promote their business. One evening, there was a party, attended by both his employees from the United States and many Brazilian business people. At the party, Roger bumped into Rosalita, a Brazilian woman he had known for some time. Roger generally had a very good impression of Rosalita and always felt at ease with her, so that he felt free to tell jokes and share personal thoughts, and talk about Brazil and Brazilian life without having the worries of offending Rosalita.

翻译与跨文化交际 第四章
“瞒住人”是指不为外人所 知，而illegal是“非法的”， 显然不正确，可改译为a secret abortion。“丑事” 则可以简单译为a shame。
译文赏析
原文：“我的亲妹妹哎， 人家打胎怎么一个个都 不死呢，怎么你一打胎 就死呢？我的苦妹 子……” （第5段） 译文：“My dear little sister, so many people have had abortions and none of them died, why? Why you died of abortion? My poor sister...”

丧礼（funeral）通常在家里、殡仪馆或教堂举 行。丧礼通常包括祷告、唱赞美诗、牧师致辞、 家属或亲友致辞。
英美丧葬文化
葬礼（burial service）。丧礼仪式结束后，棺材 会被放入灵车，运往墓地（cemetery）进行土 葬或者是火葬场（crematory）进行火葬。通常 会有一个简单的入葬仪式。
译文赏析
原文：这几年，帮哭的事淡 了。（第1段）
译文：Nowadays we have less and less keeners.
“帮哭的事淡了”一句的 翻译重点在于一个“淡” 字，意思是说“不怎么 普遍，不怎么流行了”。 译文中的less and less keeners并不能传递原 文的信息，应改译为 Nowadays professional mourners are becoming less popular。
原文是一个老奶奶在给 孙辈讲故事，这里的 “奶奶”是指讲故事人 自己，而不是银娇奶奶， 应改译为I, for one, was such an onlooker.后面 的代词也应作相应的改 动。

Hofstede’s Value Dimensions
Individualism-Collectivism
According to Hofstede’s findings, the United states, Australia, Great Britain, Canada, the Netherlands and New Zealand tend toward individualism.
As Gamble and Gamble state, “perception is the process of selecting, organizing and interpreting sensory data in a way that enables us to make sense of our world.”
The first stage is recognition or identification, in which a configuration of light or sound waves is identified as, for example, a car or music.
At the second stage, the interpretation and evaluation of that which has been identified take place. The result of this process is not the same for all people, because this process is learned and therefore influenced by all of our past experiences. This fact alone would make communication difficult even between people with similar backgrounds. When we add the ingredient of culture to the equation, finding a matching reality becomes even more problematic.
