Text 1 Culture and Communication 文化与交际(翻译官：彭炳铭2019.9.20.)Paragraph 1.The term “culture” comes from anthropologists’ studies of human societies. 文化这一术语出自人类学家对人类社会的研究。

Culture is the particular configuration of behaviors, norms, attitudes, values, beliefs and basic assumptions that differ from society to society .文化是由特定行为、道德规范、态度、价值观、信仰、和基本假说等要素构成，这些要素因社会不同而不同。

This means that culture is not “objective” in the sense that phenomena in the natural world are (or seem to be ) objective.意思是：大自然的现象都是客观的，在这个意义上讲，文化就不是“客观的”。

Culture can look different depending upon who does the looking, when they look and from what direction.1/ 20文化看起来是不同的，这有赖于谁在看、何时看、从什么方向（角度）来看。

This makes culture difficult to grasp. 这就使得文化很难掌握。

Paragraph 2.Culture has been defined in many ways but a classic definition is : 文化的定义是多方面的，但有一个经典的定义是：Culture consists of patterns, explicit and implicit, of and for behavior, acquired and transmitted by symbols, constituting the distinctive achievements of human groups … the essential core of culture consists of traditional ideas and especially their attached values.”【译文】文化包含各种外显和内隐的行为模式，这些行为模式通过符号习得和传播，构成了人类群体与众不同的成就。

跨⽂化商务英语交际跨⽂化商务英语交际Unit 1 introductions“Humans are social animals. To find an individual choosing to live alone in the world is so rare as to confirm that human beings need to live amongst each other and group together.”“Networking begins with introducing yourselves.”“You never have a second chance to make a good first impression.”Reading aloud practiceNo one lives alone in this world. Few people can go without friends. In order to survive or succeed in the working world, we need to group together and form our network of friends and contacts. To get to know people, we always begin by introducing ourselves to each other. Therefore, introductions are important. A good introduction is a good announcement to make others know you well and a proper introduction will give others a good first impression. Studies show that people form their first impression of you within the first few seconds of the meeting –when you are introducing yourselves. Once the first impression is made, it is difficult to change. That’s w hy people say that you never have a second chance to make a first impression. Business cardIt’s a common business practice to exchange business cards with people we meet. It is even considered rude by many when a card is not offered. The business card is a great way for people to remember you as well as tohave contact information especially telephone number and e-mail. On a business card you should include your full name, complete address, affiliation, telephone, fax and e-mail information. Some people also include some information about themselves such as a professional designation or education background. Finally, a corporate logo or symbol can add some color to a card.Information on a business cardBusiness termsconsulting groupaccountantGmbhproduct managerS.A.senior managerconsulting group：also called a consulting firm or company, is a business organization that offersspecialist and professional knowledge or advice onbusiness affairs to companies.consult, consultant, consultancyaccountant：a professional who examines thefinancial accounts of businesses or people account, accountingGmbh：German abbreviation for “company limited ”product manager：a manager whose job is to supervisethe company’s productTalk about yourself.Now look around you.
