摘要

摘要容：本文主要以婚礼为依据，从婚礼上的服饰、仪式、婚礼前的准备工作和音乐四个方面进行对比，从而体现出中国和美国在婚礼上的差异。其次又分析了形成这些差异的原因。主要的原因有三个：思维模式的差异、人生观和价值观的差异以及信仰的差异。随着改革开放的发展，中西方的交流越来越频繁。所以本文通过这些差异的对比，让大家清晰地了解中国和西方国家在婚礼上的差异，从而体现出中西方在文化上的差异。只有这样才能使不同的民族更良好地沟通，也只有这样才能更好地进行跨文化交际和跨文化传播。

关键词：中美婚礼；差异；文化；跨文化交际；跨文化传播

Abstract

容：The article is based on the wedding. It is from four angles to narrate the differences between Chinese wedding and American wedding. I will go with an idea to contrast the costume, the ceremony, the preparation of the wedding and the music in Chinese and American weddings. And then I will display the reasons of forming these differences which are the different thought patterns, different philosophy and values and different religious belief between Chinese and American people. We will understand the differences and the reasons mentioned above clearly through these comparisons. In my opinion, the purpose of knowing the differences of China and America is to make the different nations communicate better. And only in this way can we do better in the intercultural communication and the cross-cultural transmission.

Key words: Chinese and American wedding; difference; intercultural communication; cross-cultural transmission
