9、 society, diversified economies need meeting, negotiations. Each nation has its own unique cultural backgrounds, lead to the difference values, thinking mode, and social rules. The cross-cultural communication burgeons fast, and becomes the key point of our study, and turns to the most important poi
10、nt in English learning. English education is too important to help Chinese go out of the world. Most people is confused for the English learning. A lot of words and solid grammar can not make people communicate flexible; on the contrary people can understand the meaning but can not to say. There are
11、 appeared “chinglish” in Chinese, and appeared a series of joke, even the misunderstanding. And then why we have no way to communication, the answer is the difference between hinese and the western countries, it contains the different language words, different backgrounds, and different language com
12、munications.In communication, according to the research of scholars at home .And abroad,the influence of cultural is more important than language. Rosst(1974) claimed information that is of only 35%,and Cross-cultural communication message is as high as 65%.Me Brabia (1968) thought, about 93%of the
13、information effect factors derived Chinese and western cultural differences.As we know, there are so many differences between culture of the East and West that I can not list all of their different aspects. I will focus on the differences of diet custom and teaching system. For your better understan
14、ding, I will set examples of China and America.Chapter 2 The relationship between language and cultureLanguage and culture has a close relationship. From the perspective of the institutional features of language, language is a symbol system; it is include the phonemes, morphemes, words and phrases.
15、Sentence and article constitute of the hierarchy system. From the perspective of the features of language, language is a tool of thinking, or a tool for communication. In a broad sense, culture is created by human in the process of social and historical development of the sum total of material wealt
16、h and spiritual wealth. From the narrow sense, cultural is knowledge system from human cultural values. Early in the 20 s of this century, American linguist E.Sapir in his Language (Language) (1921) pointed out: Language is something behind, and the Language cant leave culture. Linguist Palmer said
17、in An Introduction to Modern Linguistics “language is the history of the history and culture of coordinate, they can help and inspiration to each other.” The relationship between language and culture is roughly divided into four points:2.1 Language is a very important part of culture. Mainly because
18、 of the language have the characteristics of the culture. Firstly, language is not like biological genetic, but what they learn in the future, like culture. Secondly, culture is the common wealth, ethical languages too. Thirdly, from the perspective of the connotation of culture, language includes t
19、he human material wealth and spiritual wealth. Language is the human created a kind of spiritual wealth in the process of its evolution is a part of culture, both as a unique human society. Gdels once said: a societys language is one aspect of the culture of the society. The relationship between lan
20、guage and culture is part and whole. The obtainment of knowledge is mainly based on books, so the wide-ranging reading plays a very important role in improving listening comprehension. It not only can enlarge your field of vision, increase your knowledge, enliven your way of thinking, strengthen lan
21、guage sense, but also have a great advantage of expanding vocabulary. It is very important for all listeners. Few reading will lead to poor knowledge, which makes rigid way of thinking and low ability of judging, summing up, inferring and forecasting. Language as a part of culture, its particularity
22、 displays in: it is the important tool of learning culture, people in the study and application of the whole process of developing culture.2.2 Language reflects the culture of a nation. Through the language of a nation people can understand that the national customs, life style and thinking characte
23、ristics of cultural characteristics. For example, in two lines to parents brothers and sisters the appellation the performance forms of the language, there are big differences in English and Chinese. In English, only uncle, aunt two words, in Chinese, there are “bo, shu, gu, jiu, yi” not to mix. Thi
24、s phenomenon reflects the Chinese clan concept and the characteristics of the patriarchal culture. Language as a part of culture, its particularity displays in: it is the important tool of learning culture; people own the whole culture in the study and application.2.3 Language and cultural happened
25、at the same time. Language is the premise of cultural formation and development, cultural development also promoted the development of the language is rich, the language own up, people have culture. Language is the important symbols from people and animal. Human created culture in language, and in t
26、urn, culture affects the human, cause humans to greater progress. Human language is the language of human society, it has many close relationship，with human society and human culture 2.4. Language is a tool of thinking, and the composition of the culturewithout thinking.As the tool of thinking, lang
27、uage affects and restricts the way, the scope and depth of thinking. However, when thinking development to a certain degree, language form cant meet their needs or hinder its development, people will consciously or unconsciously transformation thinking tool, to make language change, in this sense, t
28、hinking is influences and restricts the language. 2.5 Different language have different useful because of the different culture background. For example, when people meet at the special place, they also ask “are you eat?” when they meet at restaurant or “which book have you read” when they meet at li
29、brary. But the western people only say “hello” In the United States, to invite others is equivalent to borrow someone else time, so invited around the time. In China, to invite others to activity is considered to be the sacrifice of their own time or give others face Chapter 3 The influence of Engli
30、sh learning between the difference of Chinese and western countriesDifferent nations of language are different culture. We must attach importance to culture, can eliminate the different between languages, so as to truly achieve the goal of cultural communication. It includes ethnic customs, politica
31、l and cultural differences, religious beliefs, social life and geographic regional differences.3.1. The influence of ethnic customs difference to the English learningCustoms is people to communicate with you in our daily life. Language is different due to people different live environment. Chinese i
32、s also like that. Chinese people emphasis on eating, eating problem has long been particularly concerned about people ,so this topic has become one of the favorite discussion topic. People always polite to say “are you eat?” when they meeting. Most of the Chinese people all know eating or not eating
33、 are not important, just greet, but if you ask the British people “are you eat?” His first reaction is he is going to invite me to have a meal? In fact, the Chinese ask ate when you meet is the same meaning as British people always ask the weather good today. But just according to their customs to f
34、oreign communication could make each other off.Chinese people hear praise from others always say “where, where!” or “No, no!” It makes westerners feel puzzling. In the west, they will gladly accept your praise and say “thank you”. In addition, Chinese people think married, celebrate birthday and the
35、 old man died all is joyous occasion. For westerners, married, celebrate the birthday is happy things for granted, English called festivals “red - letter day”, but they dont understand the old man died, in our national customs, physical laws of nature, the old man a lifetime without accident is a jo
36、yous occasion. So western people think this is Chinas special personality.It is no doubt that it is a tradition to use chopsticks for Chinese. But people in America prefer to forks and knives. This different result is based on different food they like .Americans choose to eat beefsteak, bread, and s
37、alad, while Chinese people choose noodles, pancakes and rice. What is more, the custom of drinking tea in China and drinking coffee in America are stand out particularly. However, there is a trend that the food in both countries has been mixture. For example, the coffee and bread have introduced to
38、China. The famous KFC is very popular at children.Peopleontheeartharehomologous,butdifferentpeopleindifferentplace，performanceonthewayofthinking.DifferencesbetweenChineseandWesternwayofthinkingreflectedinmanyaspects.Suchasthedifferencebetweenabstractandconcrete,reflectedintheirattitudestowardslifeca

41、gs.3.2 Political differences on the impact of learning English Westerners have insisted that the body, the Chinese emphasis on heart, but they all have a similar place. For example, In Greek philosophers, Plato, pay attention to the cultivation of individual moral character. Plato believed that a ma
42、n of noble should have good moral character, but also constantly learning, to master the mathematical knowledge, cultivate noble hobby, and finally have a strong body. Plato thought that man can bear the responsibilities of managers in the city state. People should improve themselves at first, and t
43、hen to run the country; it is the same as Chinese philosopher of cultivate ones morality, terms, governing the country and the world. 3.3 The influence of religious beliefs different to the English learningMost westerners believe in Christianity, think god created everything and everything in the wo
44、rld is god arrangement, And Christianity in the history of western dominance, the monarchs power is simply listening to the church. In China, there are not many people have religious beliefs, most also is Buddhism. People always have read is “bodhisattva” or “Laotianye”, it will make a great differe
45、nce between god and Laotianye, represented by the different too. Chinese people regard ourselves as descendants as descendants of the Dragon.Chinese have a supreme respect for the dragon, we think dragon is a symbol of our nation. In the dynasty time, Chinese emperors generally self-styled “dragon”.
46、 However, in the west, the dragon was regarded as devil, and it was killed by the legendary god. For this reason when the student describes a persons lively, theysayHe/Sheisfullofvimandvigor.not”He/Sheisaslivelyasadragonandtiger.Everyonehastheirfavoritecolor, so does a contrary and a nation. Chinese like the red color, because Chinese think red is a symbol of luck and enthusiasm. But westers prefer to the blue color, they think blue can make themselves calm. Thus, different color has different meanings the r
