文化差異英語論文篇1
文化差異對 英語學習 的影響
一、引言
在英語學習過程中很多人努力學習語音、詞彙和語法等語言方面，卻忽略了文化因素在語言學習過程中的重要作用，致使許多人雖具備一定的語言能力但在英語交流中仍會遇到許多困難。缺乏對文化因素重要性的認識已嚴重影響了英語學習。
文化因素對語言的影響很早便引起了國內外學者的關注，如20世紀80年代我國著名學者胡文仲就認為：「語言是文化的一種表現形式，不了解英美文化，要學好英語是不可能的。」但在多年的英語教學中文化因素仍未受到足夠的重視，因此，本文將從中西方的 傳統文化 、習俗文化和價值體系三方面的差異來探討文化差異對語言的影響。
二、文化差異對語言的影響
要想學好英語不僅需要掌握語音、語義和語法等語言本身的技能，還需要注重文化差異對語言學習的影響。語言和文化是不可分割、互相依存的整體，語言是文化的表現形式和載體，同時又受所屬文化的制約。若不能充分了解西方文化就無法真正學好英語。
眾多學者已充分研究了文化的內涵，如戴煒棟和張紅玲認為，文化研究發展至今，一個最具概括性、廣為接受的觀點認為文化是一個群體的生活方式，它包括人自出生後所學到的一切，如語言、言行方式和內容、信仰，以及人們賴以生存的物質和精神基礎。張婧則認為，不同的民族所處的地理環境和歷史環境不同，因而對不同的事物和經歷有著不同的編碼分類;不同的民族因不同的宗教信仰，也導致了他們獨特的篤信，崇尚和忌諱心態;不同的民族因其發展的特殊歷史過程也產生了本民族自己的歷史 典故 、 傳說 軼事。本文主要關注中西方在傳統文化、習俗文化和價值體系三方面的差異及其對語言的影響。
(一)傳統文化上的差異
中西方國家均擁有悠久的歷史和傳統，在各自的文化上有其獨特的內涵。由於受到不同的歷史和傳統的影響，中西方國家在各自漫長的歷史長河中所沉澱形成的傳統文化亦不盡相同，因此，我們在 學習英語 時除了要學好語言，更要關注語言所屬的文化內涵。正如劉長江所言，文化教學應與語言教學同步融合。
由於歷史和傳統的差異，中西方人們對於同一事物的理解和感受也有區別。如「龍」在中西方的傳統文化中的內涵便迥然不同。「龍」是中華民族的圖騰，我們引以為豪的自稱「龍的傳人」。在中國傳統文化中「龍」是吉祥、幸福的象徵，人們多用「龍騰虎躍」或「龍鳳呈祥」等詞形容吉慶的氣氛。
但西方文化往往把「龍(dragon)」視為邪惡勢力的象徵，寓意兇殘。在西方傳統文化中「dragon」指的是一種長有雙翅且會吐火的怪獸，因此，它與凶暴直接聯系在一起。
(二)習俗文化上的差異
中西方文化差異尤其典型地體現在習俗文化方面。不同國家的習俗文化反映在各自的社會生活和交際活動中，如稱謂、禮儀、恭維、致謝等方面。若不能充分了解中西習俗文化上的差異則會嚴重影響彼此的交流。
如在稱謂方面中西方的習俗文化便有著極大的差異。中國人由於受到宗法觀念的根深蒂固的影響遵循講禮節、尊長輩的習俗。俗話說：「子不言父名，徒不言師諱。」
因此，在中國，孩子倘若對長輩或教師直呼其名會被認為不懂禮貌，將會受到家長的責罰。而在西方的習俗文化中西方人稱呼除父母外的其他人時大都直呼其名，以示友好和親近。這一點在美國尤為普遍，甚至初次見面就用名字稱呼。這一差異的原因在於中國人尊崇長幼有序、尊卑有別，而西方人則崇尚人人平等、追求自由。
(三)不同價值體系間的差異
價值觀念被普遍認為是文化的核心所在，不同文化背景中人的價值觀念必然會有所不同。而價值觀念又對人們現實生活中的言語表達產生重要的影響，因此，語言也往往折射出一個民族的價值觀念。中西方價值觀念的差異也直接反映在語言表達上，尤其典型地體現在諸如，禁忌、隱私等方面。
如中國人的價值觀念注重社會群體間的親密友好關系，因此，將詢問對方的年齡、收入、婚否等情況視為是對對方的關心，但這些問題在西方人眼中卻是一種禁忌，在他們的價值觀念中這些均為個人的隱私，因此，避而不談。再如中國人碰到熟人打招呼常會問「你去哪兒」或「你吃飯了嗎」等，以示對對方的關心和雙方的親密友好關系，但這在西方人眼中卻大有窺探隱私之嫌。
三、結語
英語學習中語言與文化密切相關，如高寶虹所言，在語言學習中，文化充當著極其重要的角色，語言的使用要受該語言所屬民族文化制約。因此，中西方文化的差異必然影響英語語言的學習。盡管已有學者對此進行了探討，但對文化因素的忽視仍未得到有效的改善。張友平曾指出，外語教學不應當僅僅是語言教學，還應當包括文化教學。因此，我們學習英語不僅要學習語言本身，還要熟知語言的文化背景，只有這樣才能真正地將英語學以致用，准確順暢地將其應用於對外交流之中。

文化差異英語論文篇2
淺析英漢文化差異對語言的影響
[摘要]語言文字是人類社會進行交際的重要 方法 ，同時也是文化的重要載體。各個民族的語言在受到民族自身社會文化影響的同時，又反映著各自民族本身的文化內涵。如果某一個民族的人們不了解另一個民族的文化因素和文化內涵，就很難進行順利的交流。因此，我們得把語言知識和文化知識結合起來，交際才能順利地進行。因此，文化差異對翻譯的影響不容低估。
[關鍵詞]文化差異 宗教信仰 歷史典故 風俗
所謂翻譯不僅是對語言進行的轉換過程，同時也是對文化進行傳遞的過程。研究對外漢語教學的專家趙賢州先生說：「跨文化交際之所以成為可能，正是人類享有某些共通的文化信息;而跨文化交際之所以產生某些偏差，是因為雙方不能共享另一些有差異的文化信息」。本文著重從生存環境，宗教信仰、歷史典故和風俗三個方面論述英漢文化差異對翻譯的影響。
一、生存環境的差異對翻譯的影響
生存環境的差異對翻譯的影響可以說是基礎的，顯而易見的，同時又是根深蒂固的。對習語的運用是英漢民族生存環境的差異，是語言運用中的一個非常重要的表現。習語的產生、運用和人們的勞動生活有著很密切的聯系。例如，在漢民族的文化中，中國人們印象中的東風是很溫暖的，只有西北風才是很寒冷的。而英國地處西半球，海洋性氣候，西風則是 報告 春天消息的，看如下例子：How many winter days have I seen him，standing blue-nosed in the snow and east wind? (在很多冬日裡我總看見他，鼻子凍得發紅發紫，站在飛雪和東風里。)錢哥川在《翻譯漫談》一書中認為此句的east wind，譯成漢語時應該是西風或北風，這正是地理環境與我們生存環境不同的原因造成的文化氣氛的不同。又如，在中國人眼裡，夏天總是和酷暑炎熱聯系在一起，「烈日炎炎似火燒」「驕陽似火」是常常被用來描述中國夏天的詞語。而英國的夏季則是溫暖明媚舒適的，是一年中最舒服最宜人的季節，就像我們中國的春天一樣。顯而易見，英漢兩個不同的民族，由於地理環境上的不同，生存環境存在差異，觀察客觀事物、反映客觀世界的方式和角度是不一樣的。因此，翻譯千萬不能只照詞典上的詞義逐詞逐句的翻譯，否則不能達到有效順利的溝通。
二、宗教信仰和歷史典故對翻譯的影響
英漢文化在宗教信仰與歷史典故上也存在著很大的差異。這對翻譯有很大的影響，我們要有深刻的認識。西方人大多信__，認為上帝(god)可創造一切，因而有「God helps those who help themselves」(上帝幫助自助的人) 的說法。而中國人信奉佛教、道教，多有「玉帝」「觀音」「菩薩」「慈悲為懷」等詞彙。在中國文化中，有各種各樣的歷史典故，如「盤古開天」「牛郎織女」「卧薪嘗膽」等等。在西方的文化里，很多歷史典故都來源於古希臘和羅馬神話，還有聖經 故事 。請看下面例句：Being a teacher is being present at the creation，when the clay beings begin to breathe.基督__，上帝創造了人，而人又來自塵土。所以，英語中creation指「上帝」。而clay指「上帝創造的人」。理解了creation和clay這兩個詞的宗教內涵後，就可以把其譯為：老師是創造的見證人，目睹著生命呼吸成長。可見英漢文化中不同的宗教信仰貫穿在其各自的語言表達交流之中。如果譯者缺少對對象文化個性的深刻認識，就難以理解 句子 的文化內涵，這將對譯文的准確性產生影響，從而達不到有效溝通。
三、風俗上的不同對翻譯的影響
英漢民族在習俗上有很大的差異，這對翻譯必然有一定的影響。中國人把「龍」當成是吉祥的神物，有著偉大的力量，所以龍在中國文化里是至尊無上的帝王的象徵，因而有「望子成龍」的說法，但是在英美國家卻把龍當作是噴煙吐火的兇殘怪物。相反的，中國人把貓頭鷹當做不吉祥的象徵，而英語中卻說as wise as an owl，把貓頭鷹當做智慧的象徵。類似的例子在英漢交流中，我們經常會發現，給人很新異的感覺，這就是風俗上的不同導致根深蒂固的文化差異，譯者在翻譯的過程中一定要深刻意識到這一點，考慮風俗對翻譯的影響，能使英漢民族進行有效交流。
四、結語
不論是卓越的翻譯家還是出色的譯評專家，都應該是具有兩種文化意識和精通兩種語言的真真正正的文化人。交流促進理解，溝通有助於進步，翻譯則是交流與溝通的橋梁，讓我們真正做好翻譯的工作，架起英漢溝通的橋梁，為英漢交流做出應有的貢獻。

❷ 用英文表達的中國傳統文化
Today, the world belongs to many different nationalities and races. Different races have different cultures and thus causing a cultural difference. For example, in China, the dragon is a symbol of power. In the past, emperors wore clothes patterned with dragons. However, in European countries, the dragon represents evil. This is what we call cultural difference. Regarding cultural difference, we should learn and understand because only then we can become more knowledgeable and well-informed.
The saying, Chinese people are the offspring of the dragon came from the ancient totem and tales.
It is said that before Huang Di's unification of central plains in China, the totem symbol for China was the bear.
After unification of the tribes, Huang Di decided to use a new form of totem; it is called Long—which means dragon. The head of the original bear and the body of a snake forms it the dragon. In fact the totem of the dragon is the combination of the father and mother tribe of Huang Di. The image of the dragon shows the history of Chinese ethnicity and the unity of Chinese people.
Then the image of dragon began to appear in a lot of pictures and form the characters. People can find the character of dragon in the ancient remains of Java and the image of the dragon in the ancient pot chips. Not long ago the archeologists found two pottery fragments in Liaoning province. One is the moving dragon and the other is stagnant. The images are very vivid in which the scales of the dragon are extremely clear.
Since the dragon became the totem of Chinese, Chinese nation is connected with dragon. Therefore,the tale for Yan Di appeared. It said that Yan Di and Yao were all born because of the dragon. If the ancestor of China is all born for the dragon, the Chinese are the nterments of the dragon.
是關於中國傳統龍文化的！

傳統文化正消失
On the losing of traditional culture
It』s widely noted that lots of traditional cultures are disappearing along with the development of technology. Many ancient architectures and traditional ways of living have been deserted. It seems that the traditional culture and craftsmanship will be replaced in this modern era.
The following reasons can account for the above phenomenon. Firstly, traditional technologies are always considered ineffective while the new sciences are always highly efficient, because modern science and technology facilitate both our daily and academic life a lot, with which we can save much money and time. Secondly, it is costly to protect the traditional culture, especially the maintenance and repair of the historical buildings.
In my opinion, although traditional culture is an ancient heritage, it couldn』t keep pace with the development of society. It is the tide of history that the traditional culture and technology will no doubt be eliminated in the end.

九年級英語作文 篇5
Reform of college English Ecation
As college English ecation is greatly emphasized with the rapid development of global communication, the defects that exist in the current ecational system are open to more criticism. It is widely acknowledged that a thorough reform of college English ecation should be under way.
Ecators definitely should be responsible for the inadequacy of College English Ecation. It is known to all that interest is the best teacher, but a large part of college English teachers underestimate the effect of interest and keep preaching in class. Besides, 「language environment」 is needed to learn a foreign language and the lack of it in Chinese universities has hindered the student』s English learning.
Some problems of the students』 learning habits is also the source of the inadequacy. Chinese students tend to separate vocabulary memorizing, grammar, listening, speaking, reading, and writing and therefore their English is also 「broken」 in this way. In addition, they are generally reluctant to practice speaking. This has greatly contributed to the 「mb English」 of Chinese students.
The success of the college English ecation reform requires efforts of both ecators and students. The universities should encourage students to speak English in their daily communications and hole more activities with the purpose of promoting students』 speaking of English. Teachers should focus on attracting students with charms and interest of English in their classes. Students should try to be participants of the learning activities rather than passive receptors. With the collaboration of ecators and students, the reform of college English ecation will surely yield plentiful fruits

Helping others has always been a virtue in traditional Chinese culture. But what’s strange nowadays is that people dare not show their helping hands to those in need. I would like to elaborate my views on this issue.
樂於助人在中國傳統文化中一直是一種美德。可是很奇怪的是，現在的人都不敢伸出援手去幫助那些需要幫助的人
Firstly, I think people’s moral sense has degraded. When egoism gains the upper hand, many people find it growingly hard to help others. Secondly, there is no denying that some tragic events turn out to be traps by people with evil intentions. So common people are becoming more risk-conscious and are more wary of traps and deceits.
首先，我認為人們的道德意識已經退化。當利己主義獲得了上風，許多人覺得越來越難去幫助別人。其次，毫無疑問一些不幸的事件結果證明是有著不良目的的陷阱。因此，老百姓變得越來越有危機意識而陷阱和騙局也變得越來越謹慎。
In general, I contend the idea that we should be warm-hearted and offer help as well as look out for potential hazards so as not to be deceived.
總的來說，我主張應該熱心腸，我認為我們應該熱心提供幫助同時也留心潛在危險，以免被騙。

電腦能代替紙筆嗎?
People often say we have entered the electronic age. Computers have become the center of life. No one can live and work without computers. In the future, everyone can work and study at home before a PC. There won't be piles of files. Instead, a disc is OK enough.
With the appearance of printers, the pen becomes less useful than before. And since the computer was created, paper is also graally giving way to the screen, which can show lively moving things from different sides in the same picture. It is true that with the developmem of science, such procts as computers and printers will be the major tools in our future life and work. But the traditional tools will also exist for a long time to supplement the function of the modern ones. At least, we still need pens to sign with and paper to sign on.
人們總是說我們已經進入到了電子時代。電腦已經成了我們生活的中心。沒人能夠離開電腦生活和工作。將來，每個人可以在家在電腦前工作和學習。再也沒有堆積成山的文件。取而代之的是一個磁碟就足夠了。隨著列印機的出現，筆變得沒以前重要了。自從電腦的出現，紙也慢慢的讓位於屏幕了，因為屏幕可以向人們活靈活現的展示同一張圖片的不同角度。是這真的，隨著科學的發展，像電腦、列印機這樣的產品將會是我們未來生活、工作中的主意工具。但是，但是傳統的工具也將在很長一段時間內存在來彌補現代工具的不足。最後，我們仍然需要筆去簽約。

Inside the Russian Embassy in London a KGB colonel puffed a cigarette as he read the handwritten note for the third time. There was no need for the writer to express regret, he though. Correcting this problem would be easy. He would do that in a moment. The thought of it caused a grim smile to appear and joy to his heart. But he pushed away those thoughts and turned his attention to a framed photograph on his desk. His wife was beautiful, he told himself as he remembered the day they were married. That was forty-three years ago, and it had been the proudest and happiest day of his life.
在倫敦的俄國使館，一位克格勃上校一邊吞雲吐霧，一邊讀著一張手寫的字條，這已是他第三次在讀這張字條了。便條的作者不必表示遺憾了，上校這樣想著。糾正這個錯誤其實很容易。他只要一會兒工夫便會做到。想到這里，他的臉上不禁浮現出一種可怕的笑容，他內心深處既傷感而又快活。上校從沉思中游離出來，將注意力集中到桌子上的一個像框上，他的妻子是位美麗的女人，當想起他們成婚的那一天時他不禁自語道。那已是43年前的事情了，可卻是他一生中最自豪最幸福的日子。
What had happened to all that time? Why had it passed so quickly, and why hadn't he spent more of it with her? Why hadn't he held her close and told her more often that he loved her? He cursed himself as a tear came from the corner of his eye, ran down his cheek, then dropped onto the note. He stiffened and wiped his face with the back of his hand. There was no need for remorse or regret, he told himself. In a few moments he would join her and at that time would express his undying love and devotion.
那些時候都發生了什麼？為什麼時光流逝得如此之快？為什麼他沒能將更多的時光用來陪伴她？為什麼他沒能將她摟緊，更多次地告訴她他愛她？他於是開始詛咒起自己，淚水也忍不住奪眶而出，流過面頰，最後滴落在字條上。這時，他板起了面孔，用手背揩去了眼淚。已經沒有必要來自責與悔恨了，他對自己說道。很快他不就會與她團聚了嗎？到那時，他將再向她表達他永恆的愛與忠心。
After setting the note ablaze he dropped it into an ashtray and watched it burn. For a time the names cast moving shadows on the walls of the darkened room, then they nickered and died out. The colonel dropped the cigarette to the floor and ground it out with his heel, then clutched the photograph to his breast, removed a pistol from his pocket, placed the barrel in his mouth and pulled the trigger. In the ashtray a small portion of the note remained. Where it had been wetted by his tear it had failed to bum, and on that scrap of paper were the words "died yesterday."
他點燃了字條，將它扔進了煙灰缸中，看著它慢慢地燃燒起來。在火苗的映襯下，這間漆黑的屋子裡的四壁一時變得影影綽綽。不一會兒，火苗成了星星點點，漸漸地熄滅了。上校把香煙扔在了地板上，用後腳跟碾滅，隨後抓起照片放在自己的胸前。他從衣兜中掏出了一把手槍，將槍筒放進自己的嘴中，接著扣動扳機。在煙灰缸中還殘留著一小片字條，由於被上校的淚水浸濕而未能燃盡。在這塊殘片上有這樣幾個字「昨天去世」。

You can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. In this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly. And you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time.

如果失敗了你會怎麼做？很多人可能會選擇放棄。然而，要想成功，最可靠的方法就是堅持你的方向和目標。
在通往成功的路上，你必須堅持你的方向。它就像一盞燈，在黑暗中為你指路，幫助你度過難關。否則，你很容易就會迷失方向或猶豫不前。
方向意味著目標。人生如果沒有目標，將一事無成。
你可以試著把你的目標寫在紙上，並制定實現目標的計劃。這樣，你就會懂得如何合理安排時間，如何正確地支配時間。而且你還要有這樣的信念：只要你一直堅持自己的方向，你就一定可以成功。
