Unit 2 Language

1. What do cultural differences mean?

文化差异

不同国家的人语言不同，价值观念不同， 看问题的角度也不同。这些不同之处通常被称作为文化差异。文化差异很细微，常常不被人们所察觉或会被忽视。看到别人言谈举止与我们不同会让我们不安。起初，我们也许会认为他们出了什么问题。

Cultural differences

People from different countries speak different languages, keep different value systems, and

have different ways of looking at things. These differences are generally called cultural

differences. Cultural differences are subtle and are often unrecognized or overlooked. It is

upsetting to find people who behave differently from us. We may, at first, assume that

something is wrong with them.

2. How do cultural backgrounds influence people’s way of thinking?

文化背景影响人们的思维方式

文化背景会影响人们的思维方式。首先，文化背景会影响人们对行为举止好与坏的判断。其次，它会影响人们对礼貌与粗鲁的认定。另外，它还会影响人们对准时与迟到的看法。例如，不同文化对赞扬的反应是不同的；有些文化认为当别人第一次给你东西时不要接受是比较礼貌的；在东方文化中目光的交流可以表示真诚和专注，而在西方文化中过多的目光交流会使人尴尬。
