1. Assume that global warming is a fact, and, as a result, assume that summers in the United States average 43℃ (109℉). It would be logical to make adjustments: Rather than air condition building all day, you might close schools and businesses in the afternoons to conserve energy. Such adjustments would make sense. Why then do some people attribute sensible midday siestas in hot climates to laziness? 2 An international student in a U.S. grocery may be asked, “paper or plastic?” The student knows what paper is and what plastic is, but don’t understand the question.
跨文化交际(英语)
跨文化交际课程教学大纲一、课程的基本信息适应对象：英语专业本科四年级学生课程代码：07007926学时分配：30赋予学分：2先修课程：《普通语言学》、《英美概况》、《英美文学史》、《欧洲文化入门》后续课程：二、课程性质与任务当今世界发生的翻天覆地的变化使社会对外语人才的需求也相应提高。
近年来对交际能力的要求除听、说、读、写四种语言运用能力外，还需要具备社会文化能力，即文化素养。
《跨文化交际学》是外语专业本科四年级的任意选修课程。
它以促进学生整体素质发展为根本，注重学生在技能、知识、情感、策略和文化素质等各方面的综合发展。
作为一门新兴学科，《跨文化交际学》集社会语言学、文化语言学、语用学、翻译学、传播学、人类学、外语教学等领域的研究成果于一体，着重文化与交际过程以及文化对交际过程的影响，从而提高外语学习者对文化的敏感和跨文化交际的能力。
《跨文化交际学》除研究文化的定义与特点、交际的定义与特征以及文化与交际的关系外，着重讨论干扰交际的文化因素。
这些因素包括语言、非语言手段、社会准则、社会组织、价值观等。
其中，语言包括词语的文化内涵、篇章结构、逻辑思维以及翻译等值等方面；非语言手段包括手势、身势、服饰、音调高低、微笑、沉默、对时间与空间的不同观念等；社交准则泛指人们交往中必须遵循的各种规则以及某些风俗习惯；社会组织指家庭中各成员的关系、同事朋友关系、上下级关系等；价值观念包括人与自然的关系、宗教观念、道德标准以及人生观、世界观等。
语言是文化的载体，不同文化背景的人们从事交际势必会遇到文化差异的问题。
因此，研究跨文化交际、深入了解语言、文化与交际之间的关系，不仅对于语言研究者，而且对于将要从事外语教学、翻译和外事工作的外语专业的学生是十分必要和大有裨益的。
三、教学目的与要求同英语国家的人们用英语进行有效的交际是学习英语的重要目的之一。
然而有效的交际不仅仅是一个语言技巧问题，还涉及到许多文化因素。
本课程要求学生掌握文化的定义和特征，交际的定义和特征，影响跨文化交际活动的各种因素、跨文化交际的途径以及跨文化交际学的研究方法等。

Wang Lei, a Chinese student, knows every word in the following sentence “Theold man kicked the bucket”, but he is confused about this sentence since it means that the old man died.32.Mr. Bias is a director of a European private company. Now he is interviewing candidatesfor the position of assistant manager. He selected a bright and ambitious applicant. Later, he discovered that this applicant was from the country India. Since he thinks that all Indians are stupid and lazy, he has decided to select someone else for the position. (Answer for reference:This case reflects one of the barriers of intercultural communication---- prejudice. Prejudice refers to the irrational dislike, suspicion, or hatred of a particular group, race, religion,or sexual orientation. Prejudice involves an unfair, biased, or intolerant attitude towards another group of people. The attitude of the boss just had the prejudice towards the applicant. )33. In intercultural business negotiation settings, American negotiators are mission-driven,and they express their offers openly. They may say “Let’s go to the point”. While C hinese negotiators usually look forward to long-term partnership. There is a slow start to “warm up”, they don’t expect any open conflict for whatever reasons, and they are always trying to “save face” for both sides.(Answer for reference:This case can reflect the differences between direct and indirect communication styles. Withdirect communication style, speaker expresses his intention openly and directly. Direct styles are often used in low-context, individualistic cultures. In an indirect communication style, which is often seen in high-context and collectivistic cultures, speakers usually hide or hint their intentions during interaction. So the American negotiators and Chinese negotiators will express their offers differently according to the different communication style. )33. In Asia, white hair earns respect. In a delegation of three people, one of whom has whitehair, that one will be first to be seated, first to be greeted, first through doors, and so forth.(Answer for reference:This case has reflected that cultural differences exist concerning the status of age and hierarchy in some societies. In such societies people are very aware of age and hierarchy. Age is viewed as an indication of seniority. People have a great respect for age in such countries. This case shows us that in Asia whereolder members of organizations enjoy great freedom and power and one only becomes high ranking with age. )IV. Short Answer34. How important is non-verbal communication? What are some ways of non-verbalcommunication?35. What are the differences between Chinese culture and western culture?36. How is culture learned? What are the ways of improving your interculturalcommunication competence?V . English-Chinese Translation37. Staring at people or holding a glance too long is considered improper in English-speaking countries. Even when the look may be one of appreciation---as of beauty---it may make people uneasy and embarrassed. Many English-speaking people in China have complained about this. A lady decided to leave China, with some reluctance(恋恋不舍); however, she still left before she had planned to.38. Acculturation（文化适应）refers to an individual’s learning and adopting the norms and values of the new host culture. It includes four modes as Assimilation, Integration, Separation / Segregation and Marginalization.。

TheIranians reacted by holding all the diplomatic personnel hostage in the embassy in Iran. The secretary of state was Henry Kissinger, and the president was Jimmy Carter. The United States took the position that the Iranians should not be upset with the Shah being allowed into the United States for the humanitarian reason of medical need. The Shah had been a friend to the United States and the United States to the Shah; therefore, the U.S government felt a certain obligation to Shah. The revolution in Iran was based on Islamic religious assumptions.17.A U.S. American woman executive is sent to negotiate a contract with a corporation in SaudiArabia. She dresses conservatively in a dark business suit and completes her makeup and hair as she would in the United States. She finds the Arabs to be very aloof. She is asked when her boss will be arriving and is basically feeling ignored.18.A group of high-powered businessmen from New York arrived in Mexico City to give apresentation. They had timed detailed agendas; a long contract; and specific plans for a joint venture. They distributed the materials, said they were pressed for time, and needed to complete the meeting so they could catch their plane. The Mexicans sat very quietly during the presentation.

English —— Chinese Translation (30 points, 3 points each)Directions: In this section you are supposed to translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. Then write down the answers on the Answer Sheet.In China it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the West this question is generally regarded as impolite. 26. This is particularly true of women, and even more so if the inquirer is a man.27. However , it is very normal to ask children their age , and some adults may not mind being asked either. 28. In fact , some elderly people are quite happy to reveal their age, especially if they feel they look young for their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a direct question like ‘How old are you? ’ If elderly people want to talk about their age , and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily bring up the topic themselves, and ask the other person to guess how old they are. In such a situation, it is quite acceptable to discuss age freely. 29. They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though , rather than to be told that they look very old.Even though Westerners do not usually ask people direct how old they are, this does notmean that they are not interested to know how old other people are. They may ask someone else for the information, or else they may try to approach the topic indirectly. 30. Sometimes discussion about educational background and the years of working experience may provide some clues, but this is not always the case.。

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.

英语专业跨文化交际考试复习题名词解释
英语专业跨文化交际考试复习题名词解释英语专业跨文化交际考试复习题名词解释Culture：is a learned set of shared interpretations about beliefs,values,and norms,which affect the behavior of a relatively large group of people.culture ：what the behavior and customs mean to the people who are following them. high-context culture ：a culture in which meaning is not necessarily contained in words. Information is provided through gestures, the use of space, and even silence. low-context culture ：a culture in which the majority of the information is vested in the explicit code.Linguistic determinist is that language structure controls thought and cultural norms. Linguistic relativity holds that culture is controlled by and controls language.verbal communication ：communication done both orally and in written language nonverbal communication ：involves all nonverbal stimuli in a communication setting that is generated by both the source and his or her use of the environment and thathas potential message value for the source or receiver.Individual Culture：Individuals tend to define themselves by the extent to which they are different from, rather than similar to other. People are encouraged to display self-confidence and assertiveness, disclosure of personal thoughts and feelings.collectivist culture：Collectivist cultures place little value on individual identity and great value on group identity. They have been labeled as “we” cultures because basic unit is the in-group or collective.Paralanguage refers to the rate ,pitch and volume qualities of the voice,which interrupt or temporarily take the place of speech and affect the meaning of a message. monochronic time (M Time) ：It schedules one event at a time. In these cultures time is perceived as a linear structure just like a ribbon stretching from the past into the future.polychronic time (P Time) ：schedules several activities at the same time. In these culture people emphasize the involvement of people more than schedules. They do not see appointments as ironclad commitments and often break them.ethnocentrism ：the view of things in which one’s own group is the center of everything, and all others are scaled and ratedwith reference to it.Ethnocentrism is judging another culture solely by the values and standards of one's own culture. The ethnocentric individual will judge other groups relative to his or her own particular ethnic group or culture, especially with concern to language, behavior, customs, and religion. These ethnic distinctions and subdivisions serve to define each ethnicity's unique cultural identity.It refers to negatively judging aspects of another culture by the standards of one’s own culture.stereotypes ：a form of generalization about some group of people, or a means of organizing images into fixed and simple categories that are used to stand for the entire collection of people.stereotypes：refers to negative or positive judgment made about individuals based on any observable or believed group membership.prejudice ：It refers to negative attitudes towards other people that are based on faulty and inflexible stereotypes. It is an unfair, biased, or intolerant attitude towardsanother group of people.Prejudice refers to the irrational dislike,suspicion,or hatred ofa particular group,race,religion,or sexual orientation.culture shock ：Troublesome feelings such as depression, loneliness, confusion, inadequacy, hostility, frustration, and tension, caused by the loss of familiar cues from the home culture.Culture shock refers to the traumatic experience that an individual may encounter when entering a different culture.culture shock: is the sense of dislocation and the problems, psychological and even physical, that result from the stress of trying to make the hundreds of adjustments necessary for living in a foreign culture.acculturation ：It is culture change that results from continuous firsthand contact between two distinct cultural groups.Acculturation refers to an individual’s learning and adopting the norms and values of the new host culture.What is the author s view of the relationship between language and culture? Language and culture are clearly fused; one reflects the other.Language is related to culture in that language not only frames our thoughts but also reflects events that a particular culture experiences. For instance, the native people of Alaska have more than twenty words for snow. There can be seriousconsequences if one uses the wrong word in that certain words indicate how safe it is to travel under these snow conditions.In one of the Pacific Island tribes that I studied in Sociology, their counting system consisted of one, two and many. More than two items were many.
