透视中国文化——我的英语演讲稿Ladies and gentlemen,Good evening. It is my pleasure to stand here today and talk to you about the rich and diverse culture of China. As we all know, China is a country with a long history and a vast cultural heritage. Its cultural traditions have been shaped by thousands of years of history, tradition, and values.The first thing to highlight when talking about Chinese culture is its diversity. China is a country with 56different ethnic groups, each of which has its own unique customs, traditions, and beliefs. Among these, the Han ethnic group is the largest. They have a rich cultural history that has been passed down through generations.One of the most significant aspects of Chinese culture is its art. China is the birthplace of many different art forms such as calligraphy, painting, sculpture, and ceramics. Chinese art is often characterized by its delicate and intricate details, its use of symbolism, and its deepcultural meanings. The Great Wall of China and the TerracottaWarriors are just two examples of the many landmarks that showcase China's artistic achievements.Chinese cuisine also plays an essential role in itscultural heritage. Whether it's Cantonese dim sum, spicy Sichuan dishes, or the delicate flavors of Jiangsu cuisine, Chinese food is renowned for its variety, richness, and complexity. In addition, many of the Chinese cooking techniques used today are passed down from ancient times. These include methods such as stir-frying, braising, steaming, and smoking, which were developed over centuries of experimentation and refinement.Another significant aspect of Chinese culture is its festivals. The Chinese calendar is full of festivities, eachof which has a unique cultural significance. Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is the most important traditional holiday. It is celebrated with family reunions, fireworks, and elaborate meals, as well as traditionalcustoms such as red decorations, dragon dances, and lion dances.Finally, Chinese philosophy and religion have also played a crucial role in shaping Chinese culture. Confucianism,Taoism, and Buddhism are among the most widely practiced religions in China. These beliefs have influenced many aspects of Chinese society, including social hierarchy, values, ethics, and morality.In conclusion, China's culture is rich, diverse, and multifaceted, with a history dating back thousands of years. Its art, cuisine, festivals, and philosophy all reflect the country's long and complex cultural heritage. By understanding and appreciating the beauty and complexity of Chinese culture, we can learn to respect and appreciate the differences that make our world so rich and vibrant. Thank you.。

新编大学英语文化阅读教程1教师用书Unit 8Warm-upStep 1 Talk about the picturesTai Chi is a form of exercise that began as a Chinese tradition. It’s based on martial arts, and involves slow movements and deep breaths. Tai Chi has many physical and emotional benefits. Some of the benefits of Tai Chi include reducing anxiety and improving cognition. It may also help you manage symptoms of some chronic conditions, such as breast cancer or heart failure.Tea, for thousands of years in the East, is regarded as key to keeping healthy, happiness, and wisdom. Studies have found that drinking tea may help with cancer, heart disease, and diabetes; encourage weight loss; lower cholesterol. Tea also appears to have anti-inflammatory effects.Step 2 Sharing your ideasThere are some common Western ways of staying healthy that are not that popular among Chinese people. Some western people like to go to gym and build muscles with high-intensity training and high-protein diet plan, and some others like sunbathing, swimming and jogging. They also share some of Chinese views on how to stay healthy, such as “don’t smoke” and“exercise regularly”.Reading 1Language focus1. hauled2. boastful3. pores4. sensible5. mania6. germs7. thump8. StarchGlobal understanding1)pores2)expand his lungs3)make his brain clear4)dead5)track6)sensible7)germs and bacilli8)fresh airDetailed understanding1. C2. A3. D4. B5. BCultural thinkingBased on my own experience, there are two tips for keeping a balanced and healthy lifestyle. First, we should eat mindfully. It’s important to distinguish between eating when we are hungry and eating for the sake of eating itself. When we are stressed or angry we should avoid using food as a coping mechanism, as it’s a habit that can easily go out of control and lead to eating disorders in the future. Second, we need to make time for exercise. Regular exercise is beneficial to the body and also the mind. The flow of happy hormones produced is the reason they call it a “runner’s high.” But we need to remember not to over exercise, which may make us weaker rather than stronger. Our body needs rest. It’s important to take some time to enjoy activities such as reading or meditating.Reading 2Language focus1. persists / persisted2. mindset3. malleable4. idealized5. homely6. genetic7. mirage8. combat9. unattainable10. consistentlyGlobal understanding1)The Ugly Duckling2)harm3)entity4)incremental5)growth mindset6)unattainable7)sense of self-worth8)plastic surgery9)healthy pursuitsDetailed understanding1) F2) F3) F4)T5)T6) F7)T8)TCultural thinkingI think the message “beauty is malleable” can be either beneficial or harmful, depending on how people interpret it. There are people who are mentally harmed due to appearance issues, because they usually suffer psychological problems after strangers laughed at them. For them, make-ups and cosmetic surgeries can be a life-saving straw.However, as the passage says, the promotion of “beauty is malleable” may cause many social and mental problems, like over anxiety about appearance and a unified standard of beauty across country. I suggest people should learn to admire their uniqueness of beauty and be more confident. At the same time, the inner beauty should be more valued in the society, not just the appearance.Integrated thinkingI know some young women having insufficient food every day in order to keep a slim body shape. Losing weight by over-dieting can be very harmful to people’s health. Being on a diet for a long time may lead to anorexia, depression, irregular menstruation and other diseases.We should first give them a scientific explanation of why their way of keeping healthy or beautiful is wrong, telling them the harm the wrong beliefs can bring about. We can also suggest some sensible approaches to staying healthy and beautiful. For example, in Chinese culture, practicing Tai Chi, jogging after dinner or the square dancing can be recommended.Culture mosaic1 The secret beauty issue Asian-Americans deal with every summerAnswer 1: Body shapesWomen in the East are very much concerned with the slenderness of their bodies. Compared to Western women, Women in the East focus more on keeping a slender figure. In the West, there has been a rise of body positivity with more curvy figures being embraced by the beauty industry.Answer 2: Face TypesFace types such as a heart face and oval face are another component of beauty in Eastern society. In contrast, the Western culture is more in favor of angular faces.2 TCM readily winning acceptance overseasI have two suggestions. First of all, I can hold international cultural exchanging activities, which not only promote traditional Chinese medicine on campus but also enrich international students’ knowledge of Chinese culture. Also, I can use new media for promotion. We can play some short videos that show the complete process of planting, picking and processing of herbs, to show international students the preciseness of the production of traditional Chinese medicine and strictness of quality control, so that they can know more about traditional Chinese medicine and pay more interest in it.3 China’s obsession with hot waterAnswer 1: Yes, I like drinking hot water. In China drinking hot water is not just a personal preference. Firstly, it is an effective way to keep warm, thus helping people alleviate period pain and stomachache. Secondly, Chinese people believe boiling water is an easy way to kill most of the harmful bacteria. Thirdly, according to the traditional Chinese medicine, our body need to keep a balance between yin and yang. Drinking warm water can nourish the yang in one’s body, which is like the powerhouse of your body.In contrast, Americans prefer cold or even ice water. In American restaurants, water is typically served in glasses full of ice cubes.Answer 2:No, I don’t like drinking hot water, unless I am sick and need some warmth for recovery. I believe the preference of drinking hot water is more like a tradition. As we have access to purified tap water in the modern society, there is no need to boil water for health reasons. Choosing a cup of cold water can be a good choice, especially in the hot summer.。

培养文化素养 发展多元智能
文化透视英语教程 教学例析
王宇珍 (宝鸡文理学院外语系 )
语言是文化的载体, 语言的学习离不开文化的渗透。本文将从文化透视和智能培养两方面, 探讨 教师如何在教学中发 挥 文化 透 视英语教程 的特色, 使学生的智能获得多元化发展。
文化透视 多元智能培养 学生 文化素养
一、培养学生文化素养
元 WR INT ING 中 Why Blacks Need A ffirm at ive A ction这篇文章让学生阅读,
1. 探究式学习
因为这篇是相反的视角, 认 为反歧视 政策并没 有让白人 受到所谓 的 逆向
英语学习也是感悟异域文化魅力的过 程。笔者在教学中 观察到, 学生 歧视 , 少数民族现在 所得到 的优 惠是 本应 得到的 利益, 并未 使白 人利益
的政策。
二、发展学生的多元智能
再以 Un it 3 为例, 本单元涉及枪支管制问题。启发学生 Can you im ag-
多元智能理念融入英语课程, 有利于学生 的个性化发展。教 师应根据
ine attend ing class w ith a gun or pu tting a gun in a drawer of the b eds ide tab le? 文章体裁不同, 精心设计教学环节, 找到多元智能在英语教学中的切入点。
学生当然觉得不可思议, 在此基础上, 引导学生去探究美国的枪支问题。
1. 言语智能
总之, 通过鼓励学生自主学习, 再到课堂上 师生共同探讨 文化背景, 不
比如, Un it 1 Non e Of Th is is Fair是记叙文体裁, 所以讲解中, 教师强调

作为文化传递的桥梁,译文既要能被目的语读者接受,又要能传递源语文化。
这种文化的转化引起了归化与异化之争。
在跨文化翻译中,归化与异化各有长短,翻译时应慎重考虑。
归化翻译强调译者应该打破文化间的障碍,避免文化冲突,使译文能被读者接受。
异化翻译强调译文要重现源语语言文化,为读者呈现原汁原味的异域风情和语言风格。
本文主要从三个部分来阐述归化与异化的发展问题:第一部分主要介绍归化和异化问题的由来以及两者的内涵;第二部分主要论述归化和异化在使用时是如何对立统一的;第三部分从翻译实践出发(以英译汉为主),举例说明了归化和异化的具体应用方法;最后得出结论:在跨文化翻译中,归化和异化不是完全对立的,而是相辅相成,相互融合的。

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。

英文影视作品的文化透视作用
![英文影视作品的文化透视作用](https://img.taocdn.com/s3/m/d411dbb21a37f111f1855b8c.png)
英文影视作品的文化透视作用摘要:语言是文化的载体。
从某种意义上来说,影视作品是一种包罗万象的文化载体,英文影视作品从多方面、多角度展示英语民族的文化,比如英美民族人们的生活习俗、思维方式和价值观、宗教信仰和历史文化习俗等。
按照情景教学法的观点:“语言必须在情景中呈现和练习”,对文化的深入了解又是学好语言的保证。
本文旨在通过总结影视作品如何透视西方文化,加深对文化内涵的理解,提高学生的跨文化交际能力。
关键词:英文影视作品;文化;透视作用中图分类号:g22文献标识码:a 文章编号:1009-0118(2011)-09-0-02语言是文化的载体,是文化的主要表现形式。
它不仅使那些想成为艺术巨匠的人整日琢磨和费尽心思去创作的东西,同时更是启发人的思维,发展想象力,反映文化方方面面的一种媒介。
美国著名导演史蒂芬。
斯皮尔伯格的这一番话可以说是恰到好处的体现了我们今天要探讨的话题:影视作品折射西方文化。
英文影视作品是一种包罗万象的文化载体,通过以视觉符号为主的、直观的传播形式,以及影视作品台词、影视作品故事本身以及影视作品画面等都在向观众传达各种文化信息。
按照英国语言学家 palmer 等提出的情景教学法中指出“语言必须在情景中呈现和练习”,对文化的深入了解又是学好语言的保证。
目前,通过观看英文影视作品来提高英语水平已经是一种被广泛采用的很有效的学习方式,人们在学习影视作品对白中的词汇与语法结构的同时,也逐渐开始重视英文影视作品中所体现的英美文化现象,及其对完善跨文化交际的方式和手段的促进作用。
英文影视作品,作为接触和了解英语国家文化的载体,不仅提供了英语民族如何进行交际的真实情景和鲜活的语言,同时也提供了一些非语言行为的文化情景,并弥补了因对英美文化缺乏了解而难以展示的文化知识。
本文将通过几部影片简述影视作品是如何透视西方生活习俗、思维方式和价值观、宗教信仰和历史文化习俗。
一、影视作品的生活习俗透视作用英文影视作品是一种声音与图像完美结合的艺术形式,它取材于国外的现实生活的故事情节,融视、听、说于一体,情景直观、真实具体,为学习者创造了轻松的英语学习氛围和环境。

中国文化英语教程》的第230-234页Unit 8 Peking Opera: Artistry of PerformersThe Delights of Peking Opera MasksChina’s Peking Opera radiates with the beauty of resplendent color – vivid, intense and glamorous. This artistic beauty comes not only from the costumes but also from the masks of exaggerated, dazzling designs, gleaming with red, purples, whites, yellows, blacks, blues, greens, every diverse color imaginable.Masks, applied to the two roles of the “jing” or “painted-face role” and the “chou”or “clown”, serve two purposes. One is to indicate the identity and character of the role. For example, a “red face” means the person is loyal and brave; a “black face” signifies the person is straightforward; and “a white face” identifies the person as crafty and evil. The other purpose is to express people’s appraisal of the roles from a moral and aesthetic point of view, such as respectable, hateful, noble, ridiculous, etc.Peking Opera Performance: Sing, Speak, Act, and FightThe performance of a Peking Opera actor can be summarized into four basic aspects, of singing, speaking, acting, and fighting, the core of which is a combination of song and choreography.Singing is of utmost importance in the performance of Peking Opera, because first of all, Peking Opera is a singing art. Any famous Peking Opera boasts several wonderful arias that are well-known and popular with audiences. The charm of the melodies usually embodies the sublime realm of the art of Peking Opera. Unable to appreciate the magic of Peking Opera arias, one would fail to enjoy the profound beauty of the art itself.Speaking refers to character mono logs and day logs, which serve to propel the development of the story. Speaking, like singing, needs to be executed in an appealing way.Acting and fighting mean that actors employ physical movements to express the emotions of the characters and the circumstances. Acting includes body movements and eyemovements, solo dancing or group dancing, etc. Most of the dancing is choreographed movements from everyday life. Fighting is choreographed martial arts and acrobatics to depict fight or battle scenes. As the art of Peking Opera depends on movement to depict events, actors are given much room to perform on the the opera Picking up the Jade Bracelet, the young woman Sun Yujiao and the young scholar fall in love with each other, their eyes affixed on each other as if a thread connected them. Then, as Matchmaker Liu uses her pipe to pull the “virtual” line up and down, the young couple’s eyes accordingly move up and down. These actions produce great humor and add much significance to the performance. Acting and fighting serve the whole “play” or the “world of images”, but at the same time they are themselves a beautiful art in both form and skill. For example, in King Chu Bids Farewell to His Concubine, artist Mei Lanfang performed a sword dance in a miraculously skillful way, which became very popular with audiences. This is a type of beauty in form. As for the beauty of skill, this usually includes some very difficult acrobatic movements, often referred to as “superb skills”.The uniqueness of performances in Peking Opera lies in the fact that the singing, speaking, acting, and fighting, all focus on one or two actors in the play.These performers used to be called “jue’er”, hence “mingjue” was used to refer to famous actors or actresses. In this sense, the world of imagery created in Peking Opera mainly relies on the singing, speaking, acting, and fighting of actors, especially in the performance of the famous plays. This is the biggest difference between Peking Opera and other forms of performing arts in terms of aesthetic appreciation. And the remark – “Peking Opera is the art of performers” – well describes its quintessence.The Beauty of a “Visual World”Depicting a “visual world” is a distinctive feature of Peking Opera. Its virtually consists of two aspects: one is virtual movements, and the other virtual settings. Virtual movement refers to imitating actions onstage. For example, riding a horse. Onstage, an actor cannot ride a real horse, but can only hold a whip and imitate the movement of galloping by walkingaround the stage, turning the body, wielding the whip, and pulling the reins. A virtual setting means creating an imagined environment onstage. For example, rowing a boat. As there is no water or boat on the stage, an actor usually takes an oar and, through actions, makes the audience “see” the rowing of a boat on water.One is At the Crossroad. This opera describes the story of two yamen runners escorting Jiao Zan to prison. On the way they stay at an inn for the night. Ren Tanghui, whose task is to protect Jiao Zan, checks in at the same time. The owner of the inn, however, suspects Ren Tanghui is planning to murder Jiao Zan, so he gropes his way into Ren’s room at night. Thus a fight starts. What is special about the performance is that, although the fight happens at night, the stage is brightly lit; yet the audience is able to sense it is a pitch-dark night from the actors’ performances, which feature stealthy movements typical of people in darkness. Sometimes, one man’ s sword swishes down, only a few inches away from the other’ s face, yet the latter feels nothing, thus producing a breathtaking yet meaningful and humorous effect.The other example is Autumn River, a play transplanted from Sichuan Opera. This story describes a young nun, Chen Miaochang who leaves the nunnery to pursue her lover Pan Bizheng. Onstage, there is neither water nor boat, but through the performance of the young woman and the old boatman, the audience is able to obviously “see” that the stage is a river. The boat sways forward; all the way there the girl complains about the boat for being slow, while the old boatman keeps teasing her about her anxiety to see her lover. The performance is full of wit and humor.These examples describe the function of the “virtual world” in the art of Peking Opera, which provides limitless room for the performances of actors; and in return, performers present the audience with a world of images full of appealing wit. If in fact the stage of At the Crossroad was really all black to represent the dark night, and there was a real boat on the stage of Autumn River, what could the actors do And what we still find as much wit and meaning in the performances We doubt it.Part IV Folk CustomsUnit 9 Life with Fragrant TeaTea is a wonderful beverage originally produced in China about 4,000 years ago. During the Tang Dynasty, Japanese monks introduced tea seeds to Japan, and by combining tea with Zen Buddhism, created the world-famous Japanese tea ceremony. In the 17th century, the Dutch took to Europe the Chinese habit of tea drinking, which then became a tradition of the Europeans. In England in particular, people developed the custom of afternoon tea. Prior to the 19th century, all the tea in the world was grown in China, and even the English word “tea” was a transliteration of the pronunciation of “tea” in the Fujian dialect of China. Tea is an important contribution of the Chinese people to the world.Ways of Savoring TeaThe Chinese people look to tea drinking as an art, which incorporates a wide range of knowledge; the taste of tea might be light, yet the meaning is rich and deep.The Chinese attach great importance to the water, tea leaves, tea set, and fire, when making and drinking tea.Water is an element of priority in the making of tea. To make a good cup of tea, quality water is a must. The ancient Chinese commented on tea making thus: the tea must be new, and water must be live, or flowing. Lu Yu(陆羽) (733-804), the Saint of the Tang Dynasty, pointed out that, to make fine, water from high mountains is the best, followed by water from rivers and wells. In the cloud-enveloped high mountains, crystal clear spring water isthe best for making tea; water in the brooks though also good, is not pure because it smellsof the earth, therefore is only second best. Considered third is water from wells, as artificial springs from underground are often stagnant and tinted with the flavor of salt. It is thus no match at all for uncontaminated mountain spring water. Unluckily for us today, we do not even have the third type of water to make tea; we use either tap water or artificially purified water – a true pity indeed!As making good tea needs good water, Chinese people have long developed thetradition of valuing springs, while springs have become famous because of people’s love for tea. It is said that Lu Yu had traveled around the country, tasting different types of water in different places. He finally came to the conclusion that the Baotu Spring (趵突泉) In Ji’nan, Shandong Province, was the best for tea; the Huishan Spring (惠山泉) in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province was second best; and the Hupao Spring (虎跑泉) in Hangzhou of Zhejiang Province, came third.After water, the second most important factor for making good tea is tea leaves. China has a long history of cultivating miscellaneous tea leaves. From the perspective of processing, tea leaves fall into the categories of green tea, black tea, long tea, dark tea, and scented tea. Green tea is the main type of tea, and its output encompasses about 70 percent of tatal production each year. The famous green teas are Longjing of Hangzhou, Biluochun of Jiangsu, and Hangshan Maofeng and Liu’an Guapian of Anhui. Black tea is fermented tea, the most famous being Qimen Black tea of Anhui and Dian Black Tea of Yunnan. Oolong tea is mainly produced in Taiwan and in the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian. Dark tea is represented by Pu’er Tea of Yunnan. Dark tea is processed by adding water to dried green tea leaves, (晒青绿毛茶) which are then fermented. There are a variety of scented teas, including chrysanthemum and jasmine tea, the favorite of northern Chinese.Fine tea needs to be served in a fine tea set. The Chinese people pay particular attention to tea sets, which may be made of porcelain, ceramic, glass or wood. China, since it is the home of porcelain, provides a solid foundation for research into making quality porcelain tea set, though the tea sets the Chinese use are not necessarily porcelain ones. Instead, ceramic tea sets are gems in the eyes of tea lovers. One typical representative is the boccaro teapot produced in Yixing near Taihu Lake in Jiangsu Province, which has long been popular with people in both ancient and modern China.The fourth and final element in making good tea is the fire, which should be, first of all, “live”, as evidenced in the verse by the famous Song-dynasty poet Su Dongpo: “Flowing water needs a live fire.”(活水需得活火煎) A “live water” refers to a charcoal fire. Second,the fire should be slow, and a charcoal fire meets this requirement, as charcoal lights more slowly than other fuels do. Moreover, charcoal exudes a sense of the wild while not having that reek of smoke abhorred by tea lovers.。
