A. 中西方文化的差異(英語作文)
There are some cultural differences between Chinese and western inorder to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding caused and trouble.
First, Chinese concept of privacy isrelatively weak. People count on their in-group to look after each other. Sothe Chinese are often very willing to understand other people's ups and downs, andthe others are willing to share. But to the westerners, violation of personalprivacy does not allow, For example, we tend to ask one's age, marital status,children, occupation, or income when first met each other, which is a polite inChinese, but in the West it will be considered as a violation of their privacy.
Second, westerners deeply believe that time ismoney, so they are much cherished time in life, and they often do a carefulplanning at a fixed time, they have a good habit of Keep the appointment on time.But Chinese people are not very focused on time. Westerners have often feltuncomfortable about it.
Third, Chinese people are willing to be modestmostly. When communication with others, we often praises others and belittle ourselves,we think that modesty is a virtue. For example, when we were praised, we often say"No, I am not. I just did what I should do.」 But in the same case the Westwill always say」 Think you」 to accept. So we always think that westerners aretoo-confident and pride, and when hear the Chinese people that deny otherstheir own praise, westerns would be very surprised and think that the Chinese peopleare dishonest.
Finally, the Chinese nation's fine traditionof hospitality is known. In social situations, Chinese people often toast eachother and offering each other cigarettes, even if filled with delicious food,the owner has always used to say a few words such as」 bear with me」. Sometimesthe owner will use chopsticks to take their food the guest's bowl, using a varietyof ways to persuade the guests more than a bite, drink more. But in Westerncountries, people have respect for indivial rights and personal privacy. So theywill not use various means to persuade guests to drink, you will not need todrunk so far.
您採納,我很開心。

Because cultural context different, speaks the different language person when conversation, even if the language accurate is unmistakable, also can have the misunderstanding. Frequently because a speech said is appropriate, causes the listener to laugh loudly The language reflects a national the characteristic, it not only is containing this nationality's history and the cultural context, moreover is containing this nationality to the life the view, the life style and the thinking mode. Language and cultural mutual influence, interaction; Understood the language must understand the culture, understood the culture must understand the language. Through each kind of channel, I understood concerned to the language and the cultural aspect knowledge. Because in the cultural difference, in the foreign lecture person frequently discovered audience some joke which say to him did not reflect. However can cause person Yang Mafan in the domestic identical joke which the audience smiles. A Chinese youth to the neighbor swimming pool swimming, a while came back, why does a foreigner ask, he explained: "In the swimming pool the person too are many, water too dirty, early should trade. Like sesame jam boiled mpling." Another Chinese youth has smiled, but that foreigner simply did not know any is the sesame jam and the boiled mpling. Basic cannot feel slightly humorously. The Chinese meets mutually says time the hello, often said: "You have eaten?" But the foreigner can think this kind of greeting is said: "I have not eaten, we walk together eat a thing!" This kind of greeting thought only invites the others to eat meal. Also once just arrived China the foreign scholar tied anxiously said with Chinese that, "Why did you always ask I ate did not have? I am rich." In English has Good morning, Good aftenoon, Good evening all is equal in Chinese "hello". When Good noon, Good night all is the farewell said speech. In US, the regular meeting hears to the American woman to discuss how her husband does work diligently, does like this splendidly, obtains the reward and so on. Also can praise own children to be intelligent and so on. However can think in China like this uncouth. An American university sets up Chinese spoken language training class, some two teachers teach, their native language word all is not a Chinese. When attends class, male teacher refers oneself said that, "This is the thing?" The female teacher shakes the head said that, "You are not the thing." The male teacher also asked that, "You are the thing?" Female teacher reply that, "I am not the thing." Perhaps the Chinese can guess obtains a ball in a shop (in china shop bull) but not to be able to imagine says in English person mind the image: Niu Penzhuo breathes, ablaze with anger the bull rushes in suspends the full view chinaware in the shop. However, this view meaning is: Clever is appropriate in a need manner, the careful thorough situation rushes in a behavior asperity person. In the Chinese culture, the turtle has two kind of significances: On the one hand symbolic longevity, on the other hand is curses at people. But associates not like this in the western culture, the turtle is only the slow-moving, animal. As for China that, the bat is propitious, health, happy symbol. These associations is possible to come the character bat the name and the lucky unison. In foreign country, the people mention the bat, thinks of the ugly image. Therefore exchanges in us with the foreigner, we should all the time pay attention to own language.
中文:
由於文化背景不同,操不同語言的人在交談時,即使語言准確無誤,也會產生誤會.常常由於一句話說得不得體,使聽者捧腹大笑.
語言反映一個民族的特徵,它不僅包含著該民族的歷史和文化背景,而且蘊藏著該民族對人生的看法、生活方式和思維方式.
語言與文化互相影響,互相作用;理解語言必須了解文化,理解文化必須了解語言.通過各種渠道,我了解到了更多有關於語言與文化方面的知識.
由於文化上的差異,在外國演講的人經常發現聽眾對他講的某個笑話毫無反映.然而在國內同一個笑話會使聽眾笑的人仰馬翻.
一個中國青年到附近游泳池游泳,一會兒就回來了,一個外國人問為什麼,他解釋說:「游泳池裡人太多,水太臟,早該換了.像芝麻醬煮餃子.」另一個中國青年笑了,而那個外國人根本不知道什麼是芝麻醬和煮餃子.根本感覺不到絲毫幽默. 中國人見面互相打招呼時,常說:「你吃了嗎?」而外國人會以為這種招呼是說:「我也沒有吃,我們一起走吃點東西吧!」這種招呼以為只邀請別人來吃飯.也曾經一位剛到中國的外國學者結巴巴地用漢語說:「你們為什麼老問我吃了沒有?我有錢.」 英語中有Good morning,Good aftenoon,Good evening 都相當於漢語中的「您好」.但 Good noon,Good night都是告別時說的話.在美國,常會聽到美國婦女談她丈夫工作如何努力,幹得這樣出色,得到獎勵等.也會誇自己的子女多麼聰明等.然而在中國就會認為這樣俗氣. 一所美國大學開辦漢語口語訓練班,有兩位教師來教,他們的本族語言都不是漢語.上課時,男老師指指自己說:「這是東西嗎?」女教師搖搖頭說:「你不是東西.」男教師又問:「你是東西嗎?」女教師回答:「不,我不是東西.」
中國人也許會猜得出a ball in a shop(瓷店裡的公牛)但想像不出說英語人心目中的形象:一頭牛噴著鼻息,怒氣沖沖地公牛闖進擺滿景緻瓷器的店裡.然而,這種說法的意思是:在一個需要舉止靈巧得體,細致周密的場合闖進一個行為粗魯的人.
在中國文化中,龜有兩種意義:一方面象徵長壽,另一方面則是罵人.但是在西方文化中沒有這樣聯想,烏龜不過是行動緩慢,其貌不揚的動物而已.
對於中國來說,蝙蝠是吉祥,健康,幸福的象徵.這些聯想可能來字蝙蝠的名稱——蝠與福同音.在外國,人們提到蝙蝠,就想到醜陋凶惡的形象.
因此在我們與外國人交流中,我們應該時時刻刻的注意自己的語.

略談中西方飲食文化差異
餐飲產品由於地域特徵、氣侯環境、風俗習慣等因素的影響,會出現在原料、口味、烹調方法、飲食習慣上的不同程度的差異。正是因為這些差異,餐飲產品具有了強烈的地域性。中西文化之間的差異造就了中西飲食文化的差異,而這種差異來自中西方不同的思維方式和處世哲學。中國人注重「天人合一」,西方人注重「以人為本」。
這里簡要從下面三個方面談談中西方飲食文化的差異。
一、兩種不同的飲食觀念
對比注重「味」的中國飲食,西方是一種理性飲食觀念。不論食物的色、香、味、形如何,而營養一定要得到保證,講究一天要攝取多少熱量、維生素、蛋白質等等。即便口味千篇一律,也一定要吃下去——因為有營養。這一飲食觀念同西方整個哲學體系是相適應的。形而上學是西方哲學的主要特點。西方哲學所研究的對象為事物之理,事物之理常為形上學理,形上學理互相連貫,便結成形上哲學。這一哲學給西方文化帶來生機,使之在自然科學上、心理學上、方法論上實現了突飛猛進的發展。但在另一些方面,這種哲學主張大大地起了阻礙作用,如飲食文化。在宴席上,可以講究餐具,講究用料,講究服務,講究菜之原料的形、色方面的搭配;但不管怎麼豪華高檔,從洛杉磯到紐約,牛排都只有一種味道,無藝術可言。作為菜餚,雞就是雞,牛排就是牛排,縱然有搭配,那也是在盤中進行的,一盤「法式羊排」,一邊放土豆泥,旁倚羊排,另一邊配煮青豆,加幾片番茄便成。色彩上對比鮮明,但在滋味上各種原料互不相干、調和,各是各的味,簡單明了。
中國人是很重視「吃」的,「民以食為天」這句諺語就說明我們把吃看得與天一樣重要。由於我們這個民族幾千年來都處於低下的生產力水平,人們總是吃不飽,所以才會有一種獨特的把吃看得重於一切的飲食文化,我想,這大概是出於一種生存需要吧。如果一種文化把吃看成首要的事,那麼就會出現兩種現象:一方面會把這種吃的功能發揮到極致,不僅維持生存,也利用它維持健康,這也就是」葯補不如食補」的文化基礎;另一方面,對吃的過份重視,會使人推崇對美味的追求。
在中國的烹調術中,對美味追求幾乎達到極致,以至中國人到海外謀生,都以開餐館為業,成了我們在全世界安身立命的根本!遺憾的是,當我們把追求美味作為第一要求時,我們卻忽略了食物最根本的營養價值,我們的很多傳統食品都要經過熱油炸和長時間的文火飩煮,使菜餚的營養成分受到破壞,許多營養成分都損失在加工過程中了。因而一說到營養問題,實際上就觸及到了中國飲食文化的最大弱點。民間有句俗話:「民以食為天,食以味為先」。就是這種對美味的追求,倒使我們忽略了吃飯的真正意義。
中國人在品嘗菜餚時,往往會說這盤菜「好吃」,那道菜「不好吃」;然而若要進一步問一下什麼叫「好吃」,為什麼「好吃」,「好吃」在哪裡,恐怕就不容易說清楚了。這說明,中國人對飲食追求的是一種難以言傳的「意境」,即使用人們通常所說的「色、香、味、形、器」來把這種「境界」具體化,恐怕仍然是很難涵蓋得了的。
中國飲食之所以有其獨特的魅力,關鍵就在於它的味。而美味的產生,在於調和,要使食物的本味,加熱以後的熟味,加上配料和輔料的味以及調料的調和之味,交織融合協調在一起,使之互相補充,互助滲透,水乳交融,你中有我,我中有你。中國烹飪講究的調和之美,是中國烹飪藝術的精要之處。菜點的形和色是外在的東西,而味卻是內在的東西,重內在而不刻意修飾外表,重菜餚的味而不過分展露菜餚的形和色,這正是中國美性飲食觀的最重要的表現。
在中國,飲食的美性追求顯然壓倒了理性,這種飲食觀與中國傳統的哲學思想也是吻合的。作為東方哲學代表的中國哲學,其顯著特點是宏觀、直觀、模糊及不可捉摸。中國菜的製作方法是調和鼎鼐,最終是要調和出一種美好的滋味。這一講究的就是分寸,就是整體的配合。它包含了中國哲學豐富的辯證法思想,一切以菜的味的美好、諧調為度,度以內的千變萬化就決定了中國菜的豐富和富於變化,決定了中國菜菜系的特點乃至每位廚師的特點。
二、中西飲食對象的差異
西方人認為菜餚是充飢的,所以專吃大塊肉、整塊雞等「硬菜」。而中國的菜餚是「吃味」的,所以中國烹調在用料上也顯出極大的隨意性:許多西方人視為棄物的東西,在中國都是極好的原料,外國廚師無法處理的東西,一到中國廚師手裡,就可以化腐朽為神奇。足見中國飲食在用料方面的隨意性之廣博。
據西方的植物學者的調查,中國人吃的菜蔬有600多種,比西方多六倍。實際上,在中國人的菜餚里,素菜是平常食品,葷菜只有在節假日或生活水平較高時,才進入平常的飲食結構,所以自古便有「菜食」之說,菜食在平常的飲食結構中佔主導地位。中國人的以植物為主菜,與佛教徒的鼓吹有著千縷萬絲的聯系。他們視動物為「生靈」,而植物則「無靈」,所以,主張素食主義。
西方人在介紹自己國家的飲食特點時,覺得比中國更重視營養的合理搭配,有較為發達的食品工業,如罐頭、快餐等,雖口味千篇一律,但節省時間,且營養良好,故他們國家的人身體普遍比中國人健壯:高個、長腿、寬大的肩、發達的肌肉;而中國人則顯得身材瘦小、肩窄腿短、色黃質弱。有人根據中西方飲食對象的明顯差異這一特點,把中國人稱為植物性格,西方人稱為動物性格。
三、飲食方式的不同
中西方的飲食方式有很大不同,這種差異對民族性格也有影響。在中國,任何一個宴席,不管是什麼目的,都只會有一種形式,就是大家團團圍坐,共享一席。筵席要用圓桌,這就從形式上造成了一種團結、禮貌、共趣的氣氛。美味佳餚放在一桌人的中心,它既是一桌人欣賞、品嘗的對象,又是一桌人感情交流的媒介物。人們相互敬酒、相互讓菜、勸菜,在美好的事物面前,體現了人們之間相互尊重、禮讓的美德。雖然從衛生的角度看,這種飲食方式有明顯的不足之處,但它符合我們民族「大團圓」的普遍心態,反映了中國古典哲學中「和」這個范疇對後代思想的影響,便於集體的情感交流,因而至今難以改革。
西式飲宴上,食品和酒盡管非常重要,但實際上那是作為陪襯。宴會的核心在於交誼,通過與鄰座客人之間的交談,達到交誼的目的。如果將宴會的交誼性與舞蹈相類比,那麼可以說,中式宴席好比是集體舞,而西式宴會好比是男女的交誼舞。由此可見,中式宴會和西式宴會交誼的目的都很明顯,只不過中式宴會更多地體現在全席的交誼,而西式宴會多體現於相鄰賓客之間的交誼。與中國飲食方式的差異更為明顯的是西方流行的自助餐。此法是:將所有食物一一陳列出來,大家各取所需,不必固定在位子上吃,走動自由,這種方式便於個人之間的情感交流,不必將所有的話擺在桌面上,也表現了西方人對個性、對自我的尊重。但各吃各的,互不相擾,缺少了一些中國人聊歡共樂的情調。
所以,歸根結底還是感性與理性之間的差異。但是,這種差異似乎在隨著科學的發展而變的模糊。越來越多的中國人以不再只注重菜的色、香、味,而更注重它的衛生與營養了。尤其是在經歷了非典以後。還有,人們因為越來越繁忙的工作,覺得中餐做起來太麻煩,不如來個漢堡方便等。這樣一來在飲食上差異也就不太分明了。
G. 急!!!英語作文「我眼中的西方文化」
The history of western culture and art are derived from religion, since the Renaissance after the change, but although religious (Christian) to its effect is still visible everywhere. After all, has formed thousands of belief atmosphere.
Can't deny that China's artistic culture from religion, like the nhuang mogao grottoes, leshan giant Buddha is deeply influence Buddhism as many as are better, mount wudang Taoism - but this is an effect of distinction by single Christian (western Catholic), while the effect of religion in China for art culture is not single. Another Chinese more, not by the influence from religion, and all kinds of people, such as Confucianism such services, the ruling class will influence, etc. Another sure-to-be-talked-about point in China and the folk spontaneous art culture. 歷史上西方的藝術文化均源自宗教,自文藝復興後雖有所改變,但宗教(基督教)對其產生的影響仍是隨處可見。畢竟已經形成了上千年的信仰氛圍。
不能否認中國的藝術文化不受宗教的影響,像敦煌莫高窟、樂山大佛等不少都深受佛教影響,武當山等好多都受道教影響——但這就是一種區別:西方受單一基督教(天主教)的影響,而在中國宗教對藝術文化的影響則並非單一的。另外中國更多受的並非來自宗教的影響,還有諸如儒家這樣的各種人文思流、統治階級的意志影響等。另外不得不提的一點在中國還有民間自發的藝術文化形態。

Today,lots of people are affected by western culture especially the new generation who born after 1990s. In my opinion, some of western culture is good but some of them are not suited. Learning western culture can let us know about what is the western custom and what differnets between chinese and western. because of comparison we can learn the positive sides such as more confident, independent. On the other side, the negative sides we should not learn.for example, some high school student even younger fall in love with others. They spend much time to do it and forget what more important things they really need to do in that moment. Indeed, every coins have two sides. how to do deal with it, I think let time make the answer.
