新视野大学英语第四册unit5B...Culture makes the business world go round文化推动商业世界的运转Edward Hall, a leader in the field of intercultural studies, famously said: "The single greatest barrier to business success is the one erectedby culture." Can cultural differences have as big an impact on international business ventures as financial planning and visionary leadership? The surprising answer is: Yes!他曾说过一句名言：“商业成功的最大障碍是由文化竖立的障碍。

”对国际企业来说，文化差异难道真的和财务规划及前瞻性领导有着同样大的影响吗？答案是出人意料的：的确如此！A good example is the role of relationships in business dealings.While relationships play only a minor role in US business culture, theyplay a major role in Asian, African, and Middle Eastern countries. Inthese cultures, in varying degrees, relationship building is like a torchthat lights and guides the way for business to occur.一个很好的例子，人际关系在生意往来中所起的作用。
