面向专业：全日制非英语专业研究生
教学教师：王征，鲍琳虹等
一、课程性质和任务
《研究生英语跨文化交际》课程旨在通过运用跨文化交际基础理论，分析跨文化交际案例，提高跨文化交际意识，并在语言学习的同时，通过与异族文化的对比，提高学生的跨文化交际鉴赏力和实际操作能力，以适应社会发展和国际交流的需要。
跨文化交际能力包括在跨文化语境中得体的运用语言的能力，具有相关国家文化知识和具有跨文化沟通能力。通常以为语言运用能力特指外语知识和外语技术，轻忽了学习者对目的语国家的文化知识的要求，本课程以语言学习为前提，强调在语言学习的进程中提高利用外语进行跨文化交际的能力，通过对交际与语言，语言与文化，文化与价值观的学习和讨论，提高跨文化交际意识；通过对文化现象的思考和讨论，反思语言现象背后的文化内涵，增加对文化不同的敏感性；通过课堂活动和案例学习，提高跨文化交际意识和能力，达到有效实现跨文化交流的目的。

Unit 1 Communication Across Culture
Translation
纵观历史，我们可以清楚地看到，人们由于彼此所处地域、意识形态、容貌服饰和行为
举止上存在的差异，而长久无法互相理解、无法和睦相处。在这种情况下，跨文化交际作为
一个特定的研究领域得以形成和发展。值得注意的是，人类文明在发展过程中所遭受的许多
挫折，既是个人的，又是全球性的；人类历史进程总是充满了个人间的直接冲突和民族间的
误解——从骂骂咧咧到孤立主义直至到武装冲突，大大小小争端不绝。
很显然，文化间以及亚文化间的交往比以前多了，这迫切要求我们共同努力，去理解有
着不同信仰和文化背景的人们，并与之和睦相处。通过加深认识和理解，我们能够与生活方
式、价值观念不同的人们和平共处；这不但有益于我们周遭环境的安定，也是维护世界和平
的决定性因素。
Case Study
Case 1
In this case, there seemed to be problems in communicating with people of different cultures in
spite of the efforts made to achieve understanding.
We should know that in Egypt as in many cultures, the human relationship is valued so highly
that it is not expressed in an objective and impersonal way. While Americans certainly value human
relationships, they are more likely to speak of them in less personal, more objective terms. In this

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.
2 / 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：
