① 我需要一個英文的小故事,只要反映各國間文化差異的就行
By the scrapping of between China and the United States about the cultural differences and exchange
Culture refers to a society is a unique belief, habits, system, disposition, thinking mode etc, the total model of a nation is a social way all activities. As the global economy integration and the social informatization development, communication is more and more frequent between countries, home to the survival of humans are becoming more and more like a "global village", but countries cultural differences still exist.
Sino-foreign cultural exchanges in class, the teacher in order to facilitate our understanding, has broadcast a sino-us cultural differences reflect the scrapping of film that I represented by America differences between Chinese and western culture of had a deeper understanding.
China is a country with 5,000 years of cultural and historical precipitation great nation, and America is a multi-national country, only 200 years of history. The cultural differences between China and the United States is great, it is the historical geography condition and traditional ideas caused by many factors such as the effect.
Chinese traditional culture is Confucianism as the core, has always advocated honour low are different, pecking order, and restricted by hierarchy. And American culture mainly carries on the Christian ideas, the protestant weak hierarchy. They pay more attention to indivial rights, the pursuit of everyone equal, no generational excessive etiquette. Between In the scrapping of datong their vows, after receiving the old father developed will take care of, this is a typical American, although the Chinese thinking to the new life can not adapt to the father, but the heart still very happy, and think that their father might take a good father.
Movies in another storyline is son Dennis and friend's son fight, xu datong to friends face public corporal punishment of their children, and insisted: "dozen is painful scold is love" and the public on the other side of the corporal punishment is respect. However, this idea is incomprehensible to americans, this also is caused by the scrapping later because the americans think xu datong debate has the tendency of a child abuse argument.
"The most important scrapping of sino-us cultural conflict is reflected in a traditional Chinese medicine treatments, scrapping. Dennis has a cold, Chinese family use, it was scrapping method to treat the child protection organization accused, because they this is an abuse of children, the misunderstanding finally although eliminated, but give a xu datong life with catastrophic consequences. In Chinese and western culture, and a major gap between mutual understanding of asymmetric makes americans can't understand acupuncture, cupping, scraping and so on a series of very traditional Chinese medicine treatment. As western countries represent the United States is developed economies, so oneself can proce a kind of cultural superiority, impossible active to understand other national cultural tradition. But as Chinese, we should promote cultural exchange, not only to be learning more about western culture, also should actively will this nation's culture spread to the world.
The scrapping of the Chinese people and American people performance differences, not only in sino-american laws and moral standards, etc., and touch legal theory, conceptions, even Chinese medicine theory and so on many issues. The cultural differences between China and the United States is revealed in many aspects, such as American is used to use body language to express embraced and kissed the friendly and close between people communicate with each other, when people watch each other, americans think the other's eyes nitriles is a very important piece of matter. However, in China, we are not good at this kind of body communication, and in many cases we still think look straight into the eyes of a man is not condescension or don't respect each other's performance. This reflected in thinking mode, customs, religious belief and non-verbal communication differences between Chinese and western sino-us and even in economic and cultural and political aspect to have the conflict of one of the important reasons should not be neglected.
Space-time of the difference in eastern and western culture, China - the different ideas, and then the conflict on performance for the behavior. Difference from on time for, mainly for countries the contradiction between traditional and modern; From the space for countries in the region, history, politics, economy and other reasons caused the differences between Chinese and western, expression is traditional spiritual background, cultural background, philosophical background, etc. Middle and west two civilizations exist cultural differences between is understandable, is inevitable, want to eliminate the culture gap, it is necessary to enhance mutual understanding, each other only so that it was possible to eliminate misunderstanding, as premier zhou said we demand with differences believe "whatever the cultural gap, as long as mutual exchanges can achieve understanding."
Chinese-american culture, but also has difference of cultural convergence, with a kind of cultural fusion longing. I will maintain cultural diversity at the same time, with fresh for mutual understanding, enhance strengthen exchanges and communication, hope in the near future, a "datong" world really will appear in front of us!
意思是:由《刮痧》而談中美之間文化的差異和交流
文化是指一個社會所具有的獨特的信仰、習慣、制度、性格、思維方式等的總模式,是一個社會一個民族的全部活動方式。隨著全球經濟一體化及社會信息化的發展,各國之間交流日趨頻繁,人類賴以生存的家園正變得越來越像個「地球村」,但是各國文化差異依然存在。
中外文化交流史課堂上,老師為了方便我們的理解,播放了一部反映中美文化差異的電影《刮痧》,使我對以美國為代表的中西文化差異有了更深了解。
中國是一個有著五千年文化和歷史沉澱的泱泱大國,而美國是一個多民族的國家,只有200多年的歷史。中美之間的文化差異是巨大的,這是歷史地理條件以及傳統思想等多種因素影響而造成的。
中國的傳統文化是以儒家思想為核心,歷來主張尊卑有別,長幼有序,並受到等級觀念的制約。而美國文化主要承襲了基督教中的新教思想,等級觀念淡薄。他們更注重個人權益,追求人人平等,沒有輩份間過多的禮節。在《刮痧》許大同自己發達以後,將老父親接到美國照顧,這是典型的中國人的思維,雖然父親對新的生活不能適應,但內心還是非常幸福的,並且認為這樣自己可以好好地孝敬父親。
電影中的另一個情節是兒子丹尼斯和朋友的兒子打架,許大同為給朋友面子當眾體罰自己的孩子,並堅稱:「打是疼罵是愛」而且這種當眾體罰是對另一方的尊重。然而這種思想對於美國人是不可理解的,這也是後來因為刮痧而引起的爭論中美國人認為許大同有著虐待兒童傾向的一個論據。
《刮痧》中最重要的中美文化沖突是體現在一種中國傳統中醫治療方法——刮痧。丹尼斯感冒了,華人家庭用刮痧方法治療,卻遭到兒童保護組織的控告,因為他們這是對兒童的一種虐待,這場誤會最終雖然消除了,但卻給許大同的生活帶來了災難性的後果。中、西方文化之間巨大的鴻溝,以及相互了解的不對稱性使得美國人無法理解針灸,火罐,刮痧等一系列很傳統的中醫治療方法。作為西方國家代表的美國是經濟發達的國家,所以自身就會產生一種文化優越感,不可能主動去了解別的民族文化傳統。但作為中國人,我們要增進文化交流,不僅僅要多學習西方文化,同時也應該積極地將本民族的文化向世界傳播。
《刮痧》所表現的中國人和美國人的差異,不僅在中美兩國的法律、道德標准等方面,而且觸及法理、觀念,甚至中醫理論等諸多議題。中美之間文化差異還表現在很多方面,例如美國人習慣用肢體語言擁抱、親吻等來表達人與人之間的友好和親近,當人們相互交流時,美國人認為互相注視著對方的眼腈是一件十分重要的事。然而在中國,我們是不善於這種肢體交流的,很多情況下我們還認為直視一個人的眼睛是不謙虛或不尊重對方的表現。這種體現在思維方式,風俗習慣,宗教信仰和非語言交際上的差異是中美乃至中西方在經濟文化政治方面有著沖突的一個不可忽略的重要原因。
時空上的差異造成了中美—東西方文化、觀念上的不同,進而表現為行為上的沖突。差異性從時間上來說,主要表現為國家的傳統與現代之間的矛盾;從空間上來說,由於各國在地域、歷史、政治、經濟等方面的原因造成了中西方的差異,表現為民族傳統精神背景、文化背景、哲學背景等方面。中、西兩種文明之間存在文化差異是可以理解的,也是不可避免,要消除這種文化隔閡,就必須要相互增進了解,只有這樣才有可能消除誤會,正如周總理所說我們要求同存異,相信「無論是怎樣的文化溝壑,只要相互交流就能達到諒解。」
中美文化有著差異的同時,也有著對文化趨同、文化融合的一種嚮往。我要保持文化鮮活性與多元性的同時,增進對彼此的了解,加強交流和溝通,希望在不久的將來,一個「大同」的世界真的會出現在我們面前!
② 反映中外文化差異的電影
一、《刮痧》2001
豆瓣評分:8.2
IMDb評分:7.6
點評:
講述美國亞裔群體的紀錄片。本來是充滿歡喜和期望的越戰後的尋親重逢,卻在母女相處過程中出乎意料地轉變成分離造成的巨大的文化沖突,並以不可調和的悲劇收場。攝制組跟拍過程中也沒料到會有這種轉變;前後反差充滿力量;爆發的那一整段高潮很絕。
中外在思維,文化,經濟,政治等許多方面都存在差異,而以上幾部電影成功幫我們了解了差異,是了解國外生活的巨作。
