Lesson Six Culture Shock在今天的社会里,很少有人一生只在一个地方生活,只在一种环境里活动。
一个人在成长过程中,从幼儿园到小学、中学、乃至大学,不断离开自己熟悉的同伴而进入新的环境。
越来越多的学子走出国门到海外求学。
由于各种原因,人们更换工作单位、居住地点,到陌生的地方去求生存、求发展。
环境的变化往往给人们带来各种生理的和心理的不适,甚至压力。
社会学家把这种情况称之为“文化震荡”,指出这是当今社会的一种流行病,并分析了其病因、症状、过程和治愈方式。
这些分析也许对于预防和治疗此病有一定的作用。
Cause and SymptomsKalvero Oberg1 Culture shock might be called an occupational disease of people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad. Like most diseases, it has its own symptoms.2 Culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all our familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. [1110:32] Those signs or cues include the thousand and one ways with which we are familiar in the situation of daily life: when to shake hands and what to say when we meet people, when and how to give tips, how to go shopping, when to accept and when to refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These cues, which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, customs, or norms, are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and are as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend for our peace of mind and our efficiency on hundreds of these cues, often without our conscious awareness.[0810:33]3 Now when a person enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar cues are removed. He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded or full of goodwill you may be, a series of props have been knocked from under you, followed by a feeling of frustration and anxiety. People react to the frustration in much the same way. First they reject the environment which causes the discomfort. "The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad." When foreigners in a strange land get together to grumble about the host country and its people, you can be sure they are suffering from culture shock. Another symptom of culture shock is regression. The home environment suddenly takes on a tremendous importance. To the foreigner everything becomes irrationally glorified. [0904:32] All thedifficulties and problems are forgotten and only the good things back home are remembered. It usually takes a trip home to bring one back to reality. [1104:33]4 Some of the symptoms of culture shock are excessive washing of the hands; excessive concern over drinking water, food dishes, and bedding; fear of physical contact with attendants; the absent-minded stare; a feeling of helplessness and a desire for dependence on long term residents of one's own nationality; fits of anger over minor frustrations; great concern over minor pains and eruptions of the skin; and finally, that terrible longing to be back home.5 Individuals differ greatly in the degree in which culture shock affects them. Although not common, there are individuals who cannot live in foreign countries. However, those who have seen people go throughculture shock and on to a satisfactory adjustment can see steps in the process.Stages of AdjustmentRaymond Zeuschner6 Kalvero Oberg describes four stages that people go through when they experiencesituations that are very different from those to which they are accustomed. Examples of such situations include moving to a new city, traveling to a new country, and becoming part of a new organization, military unit or corporation.7 Stage one is a honeymoon phase, during which the new experienceis perceived to be interesting, picturesque, entertaining, and charming. You may notice several superficial differences such as music, food, and clothing, and the fresh appeal of the new experience keeps you feeling interested and positive. If you are a real tourist, you probably do not stay long enough for this phase to wear off but go on to the next new location or experience. There are people who frequently change jobs, majors, romantic partners, travel plans, clothing styles, foods, diets, or cars so that they never get very far away from the honeymoon stage of culture shock. It is very pleasant to travel and to try out and explore whatever is new.8 When you stay in a new environment for a while, you move to stage two - the crisis stage - in which the shine wears off and day to-day realities sink in. In a relationship, you notice annoying habits; in anew country, you find barriers to establishing connections or to learning the language beyond a few polite phrases. Suddenly, your new major includes a class or a professor you dislike. The difficulties and unpleasantness of reality replace the charming and picturesque "honeymoon." However, if you stick with the experience and try to deal with it realistically, you will probably move to the third phase of culture shock: recovery.9 In recovery, you learn the systems, procedures, language, or nonverbal behaviors of the new environment so that you can cope with it on the basis of some mastery, competence, and comfort. After about two weeks in London, I began to feel familiar with traveling by "tube," shopping nearly every day for groceries, paying in the correct currency, buying a newspaper, and using some phrases that are unique to English people. I had the advantage of speaking the same basic language and of sharing a great deal with the English in some broad, cultural aspects. In a country that was very different from my own, it would probably have taken me longer to move into the recovery phase.10 Finally, the fourth, or adjustment, phase occurs when you feel that you function well and almost automatically in the new culture. You no longer need to make mental conversions of the country'smoney[1101:33]; you know where services are located and how to use them; you understand some of the customs that accompany ordinary life, and it is relatively easy for you to adjust to them. A greater enjoyment of the new experience is now possible, and you may regain some of the initial positive regard you had in the honeymoon stage. If you stay long enough on a visit from a big city to a small town, or, the other way round, you may become so well adapted to the new environment that when you returnto your original home, you will again experience culture shock. For some people, it may take several days to readjust, depending on the length of time they were away. Usually, however, since you are in your home culture, your shock wears off faster than the shock that you experienced in the new culture.LESSON 6 文化休克原因与症状卡尔沃罗.欧博格1 文化休克可以被称为突然移居到国外的人所患的一种职业病。

I used to lie on my back all the time in the kitchen or ,on bright warm days ,out in the garden ,surrounded by a family that loved me and hoped for me and that made me part of it. I was lonely, imprisoned in a world of my own ,unable to communicate with others, cut off, separated from them as though a glass wall stood between my existence and theirs, I longed to run about and play with the rest, but I was unable to break loose from my imprisonment.我现在已经满五岁了,但是仍然没有表现出有任何智力,除了我的脚趾头,尤其是我左脚的脚趾头。
我对任何事情都没有展示出任何兴趣,我过去常常在厨房里仰躺着,周围围绕着我的家人,他们很爱我,并且为我祈祷,让我成为家庭的一分子。
我当时非常的寂寞,囚禁在我自己的世界当中。
也不能跟别人去沟通,与世隔绝。
和他们之间有一道屏障,我非常希望能够跟着他们到处跑,但是我却无法从囚禁当中解脱出来。

3 It happened so quickly, so simply after all the years of waiting and uncertainty, that I can see and feel the whole scene as if it had happened last week. It was the afternoon of a cold , grey December day.It was snowing.The streets outside were all covered with snow.经过多年的等待,多年的迷茫,这件事发生得突如其来,也颇为简单,我对当时的情况记忆犹新,好像一切都是上星期刚发生的一样。
当时是一个非常冷的 12 月份的下午,当时正在下雪,屋外的街道全都覆盖着冰雪。
4 Inside, all the family were gathered round the big kitchen fire that lit up the little room with a warm glow and made giant shadows dance on the walls and ceiling. 在室内,全家人聚集在厨房的大火炉旁,炉火用其暖人的火光照亮了这间小屋,跳动的炉火还使得那些巨大的影子在墙上和天花板上不断晃动。
5 In a corner Mona , my sister ,and Paddy, my brother, were sitting together. They were writing down little sums onto an old slate , using a piece of yellow chalk, I was close to them, propped up by a few pillows against the wall, watching.我的姐姐 Mona 和我的哥哥 Paddy 住在厨房的角落里,他们正在把简单的算数题写在旧石板上。
手里用的是一支黄颜色的粉笔,我离他们很近,用几个靠在墙上的枕头支撑着,看着他们俩人。
6 It was the chalk that attracted me so much. It was a long ,slender stick of vivid yellow.I had never seen anything like it before ,and I was fascinated by it as much as if it had been a stick of gold.这个粉笔让我着迷,这个粉笔是一个细细的鲜艳的黄色的长棍。
之前我从来都没有见过那样的东西,而且那支粉笔就像是一条金杖使我着迷。
7 Suddenly, I wanted desperately to do what my sister was doing.Then – without thinking or knowing exactly what I was doing ,I reached out and took the stick of chalk out of my sister's hand-with my left foot.突然,我就特别想做我姐姐正在做的事情。
然后,既没有想,也不知道我到底要干什么,我脚伸了出去,把那支粉笔从我姐姐的手中夺了过来,用的是我的左脚。
8 I do not know why I used my left foot to do this.It is a puzzle to many people as well as to myself ,for ,although I had shown a curious interest in my toes at an early age ,I had never attempted before this to use either of my feet in any way ,They could have been as useless to me as were my hands ,That day ,however ,my left foot reached out and very impolitely took the chalk out of my sister's hand. 我不知道为什么用左脚,这件事不但许多人百思不得其解,就是对我自己来说也是个迷,因为我虽然很早就对我的脚趾十分的好奇,可是在这之前,我从来也没有试图去用我的双脚做任何事。
