第二篇:英美文化
(二)帶來交際中的尷尬一位50來歲的美國婦女在中國任教,有一位年的中國同事請她到自己家里來吃飯,一進門,女主人就把4歲的女兒介紹給客人。小姑娘用英語說:/阿姨好!0因為她媽媽跟她說過,見了成年婦女就要這樣問好。/對,不能叫阿姨0媽媽連忙糾正說/要叫奶奶。不要叫奶奶, 就叫我阿姨好了。0/那太沒禮貌了,您比我年紀大多了。0美國婦女臉紅了,笑笑說:/就叫我阿姨吧,我喜歡這樣。0為什么美國婦女在這種場合會感到尷尬呢?因為中國人和美國人對待年齡問題的態度不同,即文化背景不同。
(三)造成英漢翻譯的錯位由于文化的差異,用母語互譯的方式理解和翻譯某些句子和詞匯,往往會鬧出不少笑話。例如:/BalckTea0(紅茶)常被當作/黑茶0,/狼吞虎咽0 英語應為/Eatkileahorse0,有人卻譯作/akilteawolfandtiger0。尤其是對一些成語和諺語的翻譯更要慎重,千萬不能從其字面意思來翻譯,否則會錯誤百出,貽笑大方。由此可見,語言和文化相互依存,密不可分,在不了解英美文化背景的前提下,我們就不可能正確理解和運用英語語言。

《The way back》
I have-to-get-back."to the life and the will to win freedom for bets,.Two hours of movies make people feel more like a documentary, need the content of the compression.Not all climax, a lot like water, the geographical sense a little bland serious lack of.A lot of people think some movie, but I only anticlimactic for more than the last act to half a star.This is especially said dramas than it is a documentary, no climax, leading role fuzzy, not with feelings, is all this insipid a long journey and a free ultimate goal.May end quite to force, frost of gith under the historical data of the steps of a democratic republic road and they choose this one of the road of redemption reason, although far-fetched but lit the theme, but also blew up the audience found.《The three musketeers》After reading it,the first feeling happened to my heart is that it just likes a fairy.Though it may constructed basing on current century,it appears a certain happiness which seldom seemed in that world like
very very good writer whoes works didn't give much importance of reality though I like him and his works very much.This novel's four actors must leave a deep impression on us I think.Athos'reason,Melady's viciousion...all these consists of a beautiful world(with justice and evil)can love ,can hate ,can angery,can happy...with loyalty and nature.So clearly a world!
《Air Force One》
It's difficult to take seriously any film in which the President Of The United States manages to lay waste to a whole bunch of hijackers without so much as loosening his tie, but then again Petersen's movie is so full of such inconsistencies that you go along with it in spite of itself.Ford is the Pres, the only man who can save his titular planeload of croniesfrom the sneering Oldman and his terrorist buddies.A very silly picture, but an ultimately thrilling one;taken as a big dumb slice of popcorn entertainment it more than delivers the goods.《Titanic》
Titanic enriches us with a romantic story of young love, passion and feelings, full of utopias and dreams, mother and child fighting for power and greed, idealistic and self-identified clashes within a consenting human ambitions society and victims of their own vanity and pomposity.This is one of the films that most shocked the general public in the last
twenty years.The huge collections that are logical because they got obvious that Titanic has one of those stories full of strength and feeling, with great dramatic content.If we add the stunning beauty of the image, thanks to advances in digital technology, success is understandable.Very successful movie, which tells the story of the sinking of the ship, but in the background shows a passionate love story.It achieves a harmonious balance in that, in the mix of history and feelings, and makes it almost perfect.
第四篇:英美文化學習心得
學習英美文化心得
我是09級計算機應用技術1班的“可樂”同學,本著對外國文化的濃厚興趣選擇了這門英美文化選修課,這門課很有趣,也使更深刻的了解到英美文化的差異和各自的特點,同時結合我國的文化也能了解外國文化與我國文化的差異。英國與美國,是當今世界社會上的兩大強國,這兩國在很多方面有著極其相似的地方,都說的是英語,都是資本主義國家,都主宰著當今世界諸多事件的走向,都有著嚴格的法律制度與健全的社會體系,都擁有莘莘學子們夢寐以求的世界上首屈一指的高等學府??英國人和美國人互不服氣,英國人說美國人沒有歷史,美國人說英國人不懂未來。
通過學習知道英美文化的同源性是不可否認的,更確切地說,應該是美國文化秉承了英國文化的很多東西。英國文化是美國文化的根源。這是因為美國歷史受英國的影響。英美文化有非常多的相同之處。但是也有隨著歷史的演變,文化的傳承,獨立發展200多年的美國文化由于有不同的生態環境已經產生了諸多變異。今天我們再來看英美文化,已經有很多區別了。英美語言差異,盡管英美兩個國家都是講英語的,但是美國英語和英國英語是不相同的。這兩種英語的差異還是很大的,學英語的人都知道,英語中有英式發音和美式發音兩種。英國人的英語,相對而言,發音比較清楚,連讀的部分較少,一般聽起來相對比較字正腔圓;而美國人說英語,則秉持這能省則省,能連就連的原則,因此,對于把英語作為第二語言的人來說,聽英國人的發音相比較下會舒服得多,而如果要習慣美音,恐怕只有在美國生活過的人才真正做到了。另外,兩國在字詞上的用法也有很多的不同。還有英美生活習俗差異英國人和美國人在自己日常生活習俗上也有區別。從服飾上看,英國人非常講究衣著,講究紳士風度,西裝革履,皮鞋锃亮。美國人則比較隨便,想穿什么就是什么,以自己舒適為主,不會去介意別人的評價,別人也不會去評價。有的英國女士接待黃皮膚朋友時,專門涂抹上黃色面霜,以表示對朋友的親近和尊重。美國人可方便多了,近幾年,美國流行大花褲衩,校內校外,老老少少,都少不了它的影子。但這也并不是說,他們到處隨意,在一些場合,他們也是西裝革履,文質彬彬,很有些“紳士”的派頭。但如果一看到沒有旁人,這些“紳士”就原形畢露,鞋也脫了,領帶也松了,扣子也解了,腳也搭起來了。再有美國人的性格和英國人也是不相同的。有人把美國人的性格概括成:熱情、開朗、冒險、創新、奔放活剝、直白的幽默,而相對應英國人的性格特點是:冷漠、含蓄、內斂、保守、理性嚴謹、紳士的幽默這就是英美文化各自的特點。英美的教育理念不同。美國人孜孜不倦的追求平等和自由,體現在教育上就是美國的教育體制具有多元性、開放性、國際性、靈活性的特點,使美國教育既能滿足不同人群、不同層次的人們的需要,確保教育公平和機會均等,又能滿足并充分發揮不同受教育對象的個性特點,使教育充滿活力和生機。而英國人的保守與嚴謹,體現在教育上就是嚴謹的學風,完善的教育體系。它擁有一套嚴格的質量監控體制,各大院校的教學質量評估與科研水平評估結果向全世界公布,英國的高等教育會定期受到檢查。
整個課程老師以認識和解讀英美文化為切入點,深刻形象的講解了英美文化的內涵關聯。在提高學生文化學習意識的基礎上,提高學生的文化觀察能力、文化思索能力、文化甄別能力和文化探索能力。通過這門課的學習我對英美文化有了深刻了理解,讓對各國文化的學習產生了更濃烈的興趣。

第五篇:英美文化論文
American Racism
A popular saying is that America is a nation where people, with diligence and perseverance, can realize their dreams regardless of their religious beliefs, colors of skin and political convictions.However, others frown on this idea.This issue has given rise to a heated discussion.For my part,I’m all for the idea of disapproval.The reasons are mainly as follows:
It is generally known that the United States of America is a nation of immigrants.People of different skin colors,religions and faiths creat the nation — America.And inevitably,religious conflict,racial discrimination and political struggle come along.The most prominent phenomenon is the racial discrimination.Nowadays,the racial discrimination in America remains quite serious.This social issue has been a long-standing problem.In the first place,there are so many roots of racial discrimination.Looking back in history, it began with the slave trade.Needless to say,it is so miserable and disastrous.Between 1650 and 1900, 10.24 million enslaved Africans arrived in the Americas.The transatlantic slave trade resulted in a vast and as yet still unknown loss of life for African captives both in and outside of America.Approximately 1.2 – 2.4 million Africans died during their transport to the New World.No scholars dispute the harm done to the enslaved people themselves.The African slave trade helped to shape a wide variety of societies from modern Argentina to Canada.These differed in their use of slaves, the harshness of the regime imposed on slaves, and the degree of mixing of the races that custom and law permitted.But none of these became as virulently racist--insisting on racial separation and a strict color bar--as the English North American colonies that became the United States.The institution of slavery was abolished through Civil War,a bloody second American revolution that cost at least 600,000 lives.Today,in the United States, although legal racial discrimination was cancelled,institutionalized racism remained intact.In addition, the United States parties which are based on different interests,1
formulate a series of related policies and harmed the interests of black people.The original U.S.Constitution permitted slavery and counted Black slaves as three-fifths of white persons in determining both Congressional representation and taxation, which were deeply rooted the racism in the very foundation of U.S.society.Unfortunately,to blacks,their performance provide discrimination discourse.In the black areas, the excessive crime happen at any moment.Worse still, Black also do the drug trade which undoubtedly violates the nation’s law.Politicians from both the Democratic and Republican Parties got the big calls “tough on crime,” embracing the so-called war on drugs, which tripled the prison population between 1980 and 1995.Two-thirds of those who entered the prison system during that period were Black, Latino or poor, and the vast majority of them were nonviolent drug offenders.Today, with the prison population swollen to more than 2 million, African Americans make up just 12 percent of the U.S.population and only 13 percent of drug users, yet account for 35 percent of drug arrests and 53 percent of drug convictions.Blacks are also 43 percent of those on death row.Last year, the U.S.Bureau of Justice Statistics estimated that 30 percent of 12 year-old Black boys will spend time in jail in their lifetimes--far more than will attend college.And because many states have laws denying present and former inmates the right to vote, an estimated 13 percent of all Black men--including one in every three in Alabama and Florida--have been disenfranchised.In light of racial discrimination,black people conducted a series of racial fights which was called the Civil Rights Movement.The most illustrious march is probably the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.It is best remembered for the glorious speech Martin Luther King, Jr.gave, in which the “I have a dream” part turned into a national text and eclipsed the troubles the organizers had to bring to march forward.The process was long and tenuous,and many of these movements did not fully achieve their goals although,the efforts of these movements did lead to improvements in the legal rights of previously oppressed groups of people.The current status of racism in America are still in poor condition.While discrimination has decreased and old forms of segregation have been recalled,subtle
patterns of informal discrimination in housing,employment,education and virtually every social sphere still persists.Indeed,for many African Americans,discrimination,as of now,remains a central part of their experience in the United States.According to a report of American, the black’s income only accounted for the three-fourths of the white,and African-American family’s income was just one-tenth of the white family’s.Half of all black men in New York can’t find a job,while Black teenage unemployment stands at 37 percent nationwide.As Mr.Bush said,”And this poverty has roots in generations of segregation and discrimination that has closed many doors of opportunity“.These statistics show a crisis among Black Americans that should be setting of alarm.Racism, not criminal records, explains the high unemployment rate for Black men today.A recent Wall Street Journal report showed that in the city of Milwaukee, a white job applicant with a criminal record has a better chance of being called for an interview than a Black man with no criminal record.”The disadvantage carried by a young Black man applying for a job as a dishwasher or a driver is equivalent to forcing a white man to carry an 18-month prison record on his back,“ concluded reporter David Wessel.And only racism can explain these statistics: Segregation in public schools, which decreased continuously from the 1950s to the late 1980s, has now returned to levels not seen in three decades.Black infants are almost two-and-a-half times more likely than white infants to die before the age of one, a wider gap than in 1970.More than 200 years since slavery was written into the U.S.constitution, its racist legacy remains--and the words of abolitionist Frederick Douglass remain true: ”Without struggle, there can be no progress."
In general,only a struggle that shakes the foundation of U.S.society can end racism.As is the always the case,the darkest hour comes before the dawn.A mixed-race man is president says much about the peaceful progress on race relations in America.I believe that the black people can have equal rights and are free to live, study and work as they wish in the future,and people can truly realize their dreams regardless of their religious beliefs, colors of skin and political convictions.
