The difference between chinese and western culture
With the rapidly challging word, people throughout the world have found it
increasingly necessary to minimize the rate of misunderstanding due to
miscommunication in their contacts with another. In the oast most human beings were
born, lived, and died within a limited geoographical area, never encountering people
of other cultural backgrounds. It might be said that technological advances have been
most effective in creating the borderless word, the global community. As our world
shrinks and its inhabitants become interdependent, people from remot cultures
increasingly come into contact on a daily basis. It is no longer hard to find situations
in which membes of ince isolared groups of people. Now these people may live
thousands of miles away or right next door to each other. So all the people are faced

My Observations on Cultural Differences Between China and
the West
Hi there! My name is Xiaoming and I'm a 10-year-old
student from Beijing. Over the past few years, I've had the
chance to interact with some kids and families from Western
countries like the United States and United Kingdom. It's been
really fascinating to learn about their cultures and see how
they're different from ours in China. Let me share some of my
observations with you!
One of the biggest differences I've noticed is in our family
structures and practices. In China, we place a huge emphasis on
the extended family unit. I live with my parents, grandparents,
and even some aunts and uncles under one roof. We have family
dinner together almost every night, and major holidays like
Chinese New Year are massive family affairs with lots of relatives

West
Western students enjoy a seemingly relaxed educational
experience, but Asian students are not. They face heavy workload
and are often very self disciplined in the first stage of
globalization. China's standardized examination has a long
history.

中西方文化差异与英语学习

不同民族的文化作为我们人类社会发展的一个组成部分,共性的东西很多,但更多的是由于文化差异导致的个性的东西。文化方面的差异,使得不同民族在对同一事物的认识上存在着差异。有些事物在一种语言文化里具有丰富的内涵和外延,且能引起美好的联想,而在另一种语言文化里却平淡无奇,毫无文化意义,这就是文化的个性和差异。我们在学习英语时,了解了中西文化的差异,有助于我们更好地运用英语这门语言。
一、地域差异
不同民族由于所处地域、自然条件和地理环境不同,对同一种现象或事物会采用不同的语言形式来表达。在中国人的心目中,“夏日炎炎”“火辣夏日”,夏天總与酷暑炎热联系在一起。而在莎翁的一首十四行诗中却有这样的诗句,Shall I compare you to a summer’s day?/You are more
lovely and more temperate.(我能不能拿夏天同你相比?/你啊,比夏天来得可爱而温和。)
诗人把情人比作夏天,可爱而温和。“夏天”带给中国人和英国人的联想竟是如此的不同。原因就在于所处的地理位置不同,中国位于亚洲大陆,属于大陆性气候,四季分明,夏天最明显的特征便是骄阳似火,炎热难熬。而英国位于北温带,属海洋性气候,夏天明媚温和,令人惬意。
二、风俗文化的差异
风俗文化指的是贯穿于日常社会生活和交际活动中由民族的风俗习惯形成的文化。不同的民族在打招呼、称谓、道谢、恭维、致歉、告别、打电话等方面表现出不同的民族文化规定和习俗。
称谓及称呼:学习英语时,我们发现英语中的称谓名称比汉语中的要少得多。例如,英语中cousin一词,对应于汉语的表兄、表弟、表姐和表妹等。我们看到,汉语把表亲关系区分得非常严格,既要说出性别,又要分出大小,根本不像英语笼统一个词了事。这种语言现象的产生归因于中国两三千年之久的封建统治。这种封建社会高度重视血缘关系,特别强调等级间的差异,提倡长幼、尊卑有序。亲属关系亲疏,长幼和性别等万面不同,权利和义务也随着出现区别,故称谓区分得严格而细密。英语中的称谓为数不多, 除 dad, mum, grandpa, aunt, uncle,sister, brother等几个称谓经常使用外,其他的几乎都不用。在英美国家,人们的相互称呼在中国人看来有违情理,且不礼貌,没教养。
