The culture differences between the East and WestAs we know ,there are so many differences between culture of the East and West that I can not list all of their different I will focus on the differences of diet custom and teaching For your better understanding ,I will set examples of China and AIt is no doubtthat it is a tradition to use chopsticks for CBut people in America prefer to forks and This different result is based on different food they like Americans choose to eat beefsteak,bread,and salad,while Chinese people choose noodles ,pancakes and What is more,the custom of drinking tea in China and drinking coffee in America are stand out However,there is a trend that the food in both countries has been For example,the coffee and bread have introduced to CThe famous KFC is very popular at The gap of teaching system between China and America is Chinese students always complain about their Too much homework has limited the time to exercise and They have to recite many things as to get a high Homework comes the first to In my opinion,the study in America is more interesting Teachers pay attentions to training students skills in thinking in realastic life not to emphasis on the importances of In a addition,the rate of going to school ,the salary of teaching ,and the job of gruduates are quite different,I should say that Chima government should make great efforts to improve its teaching I am also expect to be one day ,the West give more cheersto our
檫，我今年也是这题目
中文 中西方的饮食方式有很大不同，这种差异对民族性格也有影响。在中国，任何一个宴席，不管是什么目的，都只会有一种形式，就是大家团团围坐，共享一席。筵席要用圆桌，这就从形式上造成了一种团结、礼貌、共趣的气氛。美味佳肴放在一桌人的中心，它既是一桌人欣赏、品尝的对象，又是一桌人感情交流的媒介物。人们相互敬酒、相互让菜、劝菜，在美好的事物面前，体现了人们之间相互尊重、礼让的美德。虽然从卫生的角度看，这种饮食方式有明显的不足之处，但它符合我们民族“大团圆”的普遍心态，反映了中国古典哲学中“和”这个范畴对后代思想的影响，便于集体的情感交流，因而至今难以改革。 西式饮宴上，食品和酒尽管非常重要，但实际上那是作为陪衬。宴会的核心在于交谊，通过与邻座客人之间的交谈，达到交谊的目的。如果将宴会的交谊性与舞蹈相类比，那么可以说，中式宴席好比是集体舞，而西式宴会好比是男女的交谊舞。由此可见，中式宴会和西式宴会交谊的目的都很明显，只不过中式宴会更多地体现在全席的交谊，而西式宴会多体现于相邻宾客之间的交谊。与中国饮食方式的差异更为明显的是西方流行的自助餐。此法是：将所有食物一一陈列出来，大家各取所需，不必固定在位子上吃，走动自由，这种方式便于个人之间的情感交流，不必将所有的话摆在桌面上，也表现了西方人对个性、对自我的尊重。但各吃各的，互不相扰，缺少了一些中国人聊欢共乐的情调。 所以，归根结底还是感性与理性之间的差异。但是，这种差异似乎在随着科学的发展而变的模糊。越来越多的中国人以不再只注重菜的色、香、味，而更注重它的卫生与营养了。尤其是在经历了非典以后。还有，人们因为越来越繁忙的工作，觉得中餐做起来太麻烦，不如来个汉堡方便等。这样一来在饮食上差异也就不太分明了。 ENGLISH Center the western diet way has very greatly differently, thiskind of difference is also influential to the national InChina, any banquet, no matter is any goal, all only can have one kindof form, is everybody sits in a circle all round, The banquetmust use the round table, this formally has created one kind ofunity, politeness, altogether the interest The delicacydelicacies put on table of people's centers, it not only is the objectwhich table of people appreciates, tastes, also is a table of peoplesentiments exchange The people mutually propose a toast,mutually offer food to a guest, urge the vegetable, in front of thehappy thing, has manifested the moral excellence which between thepeople mutually respects, gives precedence out of Althoughlooked from the hygienic angle, this diet way has the obviousdeficiency, but it conforms to our nationality "the happy ending" theuniversal point of view, had reflected in the Chinese classicalphilosophy "and" this category to the descendant thought influence, isadvantageous for the collective emotion exchange, thus until now withdifficulty Western-style banquets, food and liquor although count for much, butin fact that takes the set- The banquet core lies in thefriendship, through with the adjacent seat visitor's betweenconversation, achieves the friendship the If and the danceresembles the banquet friendship compared to, then may say, theChinese type banquet is just like is a group dance, but thewestern-style banquet is just like is men's and women's Thus it can be seen, the Chinese type banquet and thewestern-style banquet friendship goal very is all obvious, onlyChinese type banquet more terrains now complete meal friendship, butthe western-style banquet manifests much between the neighboringguest's Is the western popular buffet is more obviouswhich with the Chinese diet way This law is: Will possessfood 11 to exhibit, everybody 各取所需, will not need to fix onthe seat eats, takes a walk the freedom, this way will be advantageousfor between individual emotion exchange, will not will certainly allspeeches to suspend on the tabletop, also has displayed the westernperson to the individuality, to the self- But respectivelyeats each, mutually did not harass, lacks some Chinese to chat thehappy altogether happy affective Therefore, in the final analysis or between perceptual and But, this kind of difference as if in the fuzziness whichchanges along with the science More and more many Chineseby no longer only pay great attention to the vegetable the color, thefragrance, the taste, but paid great attention to its health and In has experienced after in particular the non- Also, the people because of the more and more busy work, thought theChinese meal starts too troubles, was inferior to Hamburg facilitatesand so Then the difference not too was also distinct in the
Western cuisine is a generalized term collectively referring to the cuisines of Europe and other Western The term is used by Anglophone Asians to contrast with Asian styles of The cuisines of Western countries are diverse by themselves, although there are common characteristics that distinguishes Western cooking from cuisines of Asian countries and Compared with traditional cooking of Asian countries, for example, meat is more prominent and substantial in serving-size, and Westerners traditionally have a far more in-depth knowledge concerning specific methods of preparing and serving different cuts of meat than Asian Steak in particular is a common dish across the W Similarly to some Asian cuisines, Western cuisines also put substantial emphasis on sauces as condiments, seasonings, or accompaniments (in part due to the difficulty of seasonings penetrating the often larger pieces of meat used in Western cooking) Many dairy products are utilized in the cooking process, except in nouvelle Wheat-flour bread has long been the most common sources of starch in this cuisine, along with pasta, dumplings and pastries, although the potato has become a major starch plant in the diet of Europeans and their diaspora since the European colonization of the ARestaurants advertised to be specializing in generic Western cuisine in Asia tend to have menus containing a mixture of dishes mainly from France, the English-speaking world, and G Since the early 1990s dishes from Italy and Spain have become more prominent on these restaurants' Chinese cuisine originated from the various regions of China and has become widespread in many other parts of the world — from Asia to the Americas, Australia, Western Europe and Southern A In recent years, connoisseurs of Chinese cuisine have also sprouted in Eastern Europe and South A American Chinese cuisine and Canadian Chinese food are popular examples of local Local ingredients would be adopted while maintaining the style and preparation Regional cultural differences vary greatly amongst the different regions of China, giving rise to the different styles of There are eight main regional cuisines, or Eight Great TThere are also featured Buddhist and Muslim sub-cuisines within the greater Chinese cuisine, with an emphasis on vegetarian and halal-based diets In most dishes in Chinese cuisine, food is prepared in bite-sized pieces, ready for direct picking up and Traditionally, Chinese culture considered using knives and forks at the table barbaric due to fact that these implements are regarded as It was also considered ungracious to have guests work at cutting their own Fish are usually cooked and served whole (or chunked), with diners directly pulling pieces from the fish with chopsticks to eat, unlike in some other cuisines where they are first This is because it is desired for fish to be served as fresh as possible, and more importantly, whole fish culturally signifies wholeness of things as it has a proper beginning (head) with an end (tail) It is common in many restaurant settings for the server to use a pair of spoons to divide the fish into servings at the Chicken is another meat popular in Chinese While the chicken is cut into pieces, and similar to serving fish every single piece of the chicken is served including gizzards and head in order to signify In a Chinese meal, each individual diner is given his or her own bowl of rice while the accompanying dishes are served in communal plates (or bowls) that are shared by everyone sitting at the In the Chinese meal, each diner picks food out of the communal plates on a bite-by-bite basis with their This is in contrast to western meals where it is customary to dole out individual servings of the dishes at the beginning of the Many non-Chinese are uncomfortable with allowing a person's individual utensils (which might have traces of saliva) to touch the communal plates; for this hygienic reason, additional serving spoons or chopsticks （ common/public/shared chopsticks) may be made In areas with increased Western influence, such as Hong Kong, diners are provided individually with a heavy metal spoon for this The food selected is often eaten together with some rice either in one bite or in

首先, 中英文两种语言使用中的文化相似性在于语言的独特性。语言的结构以及语言的内容会影响人们的思维。我们通常会有这样的感觉, 有时外语中有些词汇很难翻译成汉语, 这一点更说明了语言与文化在塑造人们对世界的认识方面的重要意义, 因为每种语言都有特定的词汇去描绘特定的经历与思想。这些特定的经历、思想与词汇, 只有特定的文化才能独有。有时我们用一些蹩脚的翻译不能达到原语言所表达的意思要求。由于文化的原因, 个别词汇的表达尚且如此, 带有浓重文化色彩的词组更是不可忽视。文化的独特性导致我们常见的各种电影等文学作品的名字很大程度上有着文化的要素, 因此, 我们在处理这些名称的时候应该时时刻刻注意文化的影响。我们在翻译、理解文学电影作品时有几种情况, 即完全对等型、对等型、完全不对等型。无论是哪种类型, 我们都可以看出在作品命名以及名称转化时文化的独特性体现。完全对等型是英文与汉语音释完全相等, 可谓语音的转化。例如: “Hamlet”《哈姆雷特》, 即使是在转化人名的时候也要注意准确性以及文化的影响, 《英语姓名译名手册》能够规范译名的统一性和稳定性。这种方法虽然简单, 但是有时也会出现一些问题, 往往会把外国的人名用任意的汉语同音字代替。这里主要掌握的是外国人名与中国人名的音相同时, 我们一般适宜用外国人名常用的字, 以避开与中国人名的混淆, 从而显示文学作品异域的文化内涵性, 充分体现不同文化的特征。对等型的第二种是直接转化原文名称。这种方法与语音的直译不同, 它是语义的转化。其中, 无论是原文名称还是译文名称都能概括表达故事的内容。例如: “The Old Curiosity Shop”《老古玩店》/ “Our Mutual Friend”《我们共同的朋友》这种转化方法相对比较简单, 但是在转化中也应该充分考虑汉语语言文化表达上整齐与通畅的特点。这两种名称转化不像意译那样受到重视, 但是, 不同语言的差异及不同文化上的差异直接表现了各种文化中的姓名各有差异。例如, 各个民族的命名方法及历史渊源都有很大的差别。因此, 在外语转化成汉语名称时一定要注意原语文化中的姓名特点。这种翻译虽然在翻译上完全等同, 但是在字音或语调上都会发生一些变化。交际者不会过多地介意, 但是由此造成的结果是读出来的姓名既不属于甲文化, 也不属于乙文化, 而处于一种洋味十足的折中状态。这种折中实质上就是跨文化交际中求同的具体表现[2]381。因此, 应该十分注意这种现象, 以达到两种文化都能够接受的目的。其次, 中英文两种语言使用中的文化相似性在于语言的可接受性。每种文化在表达一定的思想时都有其本身的文化内涵, 这就构成了它的可接受性。同样用文艺作品的名称举例说明, 完全不对等型进行中英文两种文字的互换时, 要脱离原来语言的模式及文化特征, 达到另一种语言的文化可以接受的效果。译者不仅要了解外国文化, 还要了解自己的民族文化。不仅如此, 还要把两种文化加以比较, 因为真正的对比应该是从各自文化的内涵意义出发寻求对应。这种类型的互换在目的语中根本找不到原语文字面的影子, 而是按照故事内容情节进行的。这类翻译的作品在早期出现过一些经典, 这种翻译能在更大程度上体现译语的文化内涵。这种翻译涉及到对文化处理时一般分为两种方法: 主要以原语言文化为归宿和主要以目的语文化为归宿。因此, 英语书名、电影名称的汉语翻译多采用汉语的文化归宿[2]276。在充分考虑文化因素的同时, 还要注意影视片名的雅俗共赏、喜闻乐见的特点, 回味无穷更是让影片增添色彩。影视译名广告宣传效应也是值得注意的问题。比较成功的书名及影视名称的翻译也很常见, 例如: 一些经典影片的翻译: “As You Like It”《皆大欢喜》/ “Gone with the Wind”《飘》/ “Wuthering Heights”《呼啸山130庄》/ “Waterloo Bridge”《魂断蓝桥》“Forrest Gump”/ 《阿甘正传》/ “Limelight”《舞台生涯》等。近期的一些影片也有些是这类翻译的典范, 如: “Birth”《重生》/ “Wicker Park”《迷情公寓》/“Paparazzi”《狗仔摄影师》/ “Cars”《汽车总动员》/ “Blow Dry”《爱情洗剪吹》等。《红菱艳》、《窈窕淑女》、《玉女神驹》等就非常符合汉语的习惯及文化认知。二中英文两种语言使用中的文化差异性在于两种语言使用的结构不同。广告语言作为一种文体具有很高的商业价值, 广告文体作为独特语言的形式有其明显的文化特征。在广播、电视、电影、报纸、公共汽车的车身、建筑工地、单位的大厅内, 每天我们的生活都充满着各种各样的广告宣传语言。这些广告有商品或文学作品的宣传广告, 有动员性、鼓动性的宣传广告, 两者的目的都是一种广泛宣传使人记住的口号, 可称之为口号( slogan ) , 或广告语句( catch phrases) , 在语体上也有着鲜明的功能性。作为商业媒体广告它可以借助图画形象的信息功能, 使语言高度精练, 句子高度浓缩, 浓缩的短句常常具有警句和格言的意味, 是一种运用各种语言技巧并富有艺术魅力的鼓动性语言, 它要求用词独特新颖而言简意赅, 句式洗练而内涵丰富, 同时要引人注目而读后回味无穷。作为文学作品的评价推广, 主要是利用文字格式及语言的表现达到引人注目、提高知名度的目的。下面分别就一般的商业广告和口号性的标语两大类特殊的语言形式具体分析其语言特点以及所体现出的文化差别。首先, 一般的商业广告, 通常会使用大量的形容词,例如, 汉语早期的成套的商业承诺有: 造型美观, 款式新颖, 质量上乘, 服务周到。如果分别把这个宣传口号翻译成beautifully/handsomely designed/fashion /up- to- date style / superfine quality / courteous service, 就会有失英语表达的特点, 根本体现不了英语广告语言的特色, 结构也不符合英语的结构特点, 显得不伦不类。为了符合英语文化的特点, 我们最好把它翻译成: It is beautiful, and fashionable, andexcellent item; you can enjoy your buying that will be considerate and 这种差异不仅体现了两种语言的结构特点, 而且更多地体现了两种语言的文化特点, 即汉语注重的句型整齐、排比的、朗朗上口的结构特点, 也体现了汉语的高度浓缩的语言特征。而英语则表现出极其整齐的、严格的结构特点。这里我们不难看到, 在宣传广告语言中除了使用了大量的形容词以及语言的凝练之外, 汉语的稳定的结构特征在广告语言中也被淋漓尽致地表现出来。汉语习惯使用成型的三字或者是四字的结构表达, 以增加语义, 增强语势, 强化广告的艺术感染力, 以达到表现力与节奏上的完美。但是, 因为英语与汉语结构的差异, 广告文字的翻译就很难做到两者的一致与统一。必须结合每种语言的特点进行理解与释义。究其根源, 汉语的结构特点是中国文化的体现。国人往往吟诗唱词, 文化的修养也常常以对古汉语的理解与掌握为标准。从许多产品精练的广告标语、企业精神的口号、凝结学校历史与传统的校训中都可以看到这种文化与结构表达的充分体现。例如: 汇丰银行的广告词的英语:“We’ve been on a long journey together, now we’re paving the way to a better ”相对应的汉语翻译为: 永结同心, 共致未来。还有索尼掌中宝的广告的英语是: “It lets you take a tripback into a past, and enjoy the memories of a life ”这一则广告的汉语也极大地展现了汉语的结构特点“为你记载人生、重温旧梦、留住欢乐”。不仅如此, 中外名校展示风采的校训也充分地体现了这种宣传语言文字在不同语言中的差别。这里首先以中国百名高校的校训为例, 我们可以清楚地看到, 一百所高校的校训很多都是以四字为单位, 或者四字, 或者两组四字, 最多为四组四字。例如, 浙江大学的“求实创新”, 清华大学的“自强不息, 厚德载物”, 华南师范大学的131“艰苦奋斗, 严谨治学, 求实创新, 为人师表”; 四字的校训, 如西北工业大学的公、诚、勇、毅①。总之, 基本是以整齐的结构、极富表达力的字为特点。与中国名校的校训相似, 英语国家的校训也是力求简洁、明了, 体现追求真理和服务社会的特点。但是不同的是, 英语国家的校训的语言特色不是像中国校训一样的严谨的句子结构, 而是简洁地表达一个理念, 如斯坦福大学: 愿学术自由之风劲吹; 普林斯顿大学: 普林斯顿—为国家服务, 为世界服务; 哈佛大学: 让真理与你为友;多伦多大学: 像大树一样茁壮成长。从这些精辟的语言的表达中, 我们也可以看到英语与汉语的语言与文化的差异。其次, 中国的文化传统造成中国人比较喜欢用一些口号性的标语。比如我们最常见的: 好好学习, 天天向上; 高高兴兴上班去, 安安全全回家来; 做知法公民, 养合法宠物等, 汉语比较喜欢用这类标语, 在翻译时一定要注意它们的民族独特性与汉语的表达方式, 否则将会造成对原语的错误翻译, 或是会造成很费解的翻译, 因此较好的翻译绝不能按照汉语的结构套出英语的句子, 也绝不要按照英语的句子翻译看上去根本不是广告的汉语语言。当然, 这里还要把握翻译时的意译及其文化的相对性、直译及其文化的开放性以及不译及其社会文化现象可移植性的含义[3]。前面提到的是极其典型的汉语的宣传语体的句子, 这些句子深深地置身于中国文化之中。这些句子只有在汉语中才能体现出它的广告宣传效果, 如果翻译成英语句子它们就失去了本身的深刻内涵, 也就是说不太适合翻译成英语句子。即便是翻译成了英语句子, 也没有可能像汉语那样语义清楚, 结构简练, 朗朗上口, 过目不忘。以上可以看到, 无论是英语作品的宣传, 还是传统的汉语广告, 一是充分体现了广告的文字语体, 二是体现了英语与汉语两种语言的语言特征。因此, 在翻译这样的广告语言时, 要尽量符合目的语的语言特征。从汉语的文化特点来看, 中国的传统以均衡均匀为美, 《文心雕龙·丽辞篇》就提出了“造化附形, 支体必双; 神理为用, 事不孤立”。这种传统的审美心理对汉语有着潜移默化的影响, 突出地表现在四字格这种语言形式上。四字格字数统一, 音节固定, 具有结构工整、音韵和谐、简洁明快等鲜明的特点。中国人非常习惯以整齐的句式表达强烈的思想感情, 因此,在广告语中的三字、四字、五言、六从、七字常常被使用到。而英语中缺乏此种表达形式, 汉语译成英语时就很难做到。但是由于英语本身有些广告是使用了语音的押韵、词语的多义所产生的艺术效果, 翻译成汉语也很难做到音、形与义的完美转换。英语译成汉语尽量照顾了汉语的句式整齐的广告语言特征, 但是汉语译成英语如果只是按照汉语的句式进行翻译, 势必造成理解上的问题, 有时更谈不上音形义的同时顾及。有些英语广告使用的语言生动、奇特, 能引起读者的兴趣, 取得了激动人心的效果。如: kiss your coughs goodbye, 就是一则十分符合英语文化习惯的诙谐幽默的表达。因此, 语言的使用首先考虑的是文化的因素, 语言只有在文化的背景下才能更有其真实的、饱满的含义。语言的学习不仅要清楚语言文体本身的特点, 还要力争做到语言与文化的相互影响、相互作用。语言学习为文化学习提供了一种渠道, 文化的学习与认识会促进语言的学习

Chinese and Western cultural differences in the performance of every aspect of daily life from the greeting 、 term diet and cultural differences in the way of thinking in the abstract, such as differences everywhere, from the West focus on the following colors to express the difference between Chinese and Western cultural differences in areas such as a wedding First, in the West to express the color difference Different colors in different languages is not expressed in the same The representative of China in a sense, the West has a meaning that even the "color" to understand the meaning of the (A) red (red) Whether in China or in the English-speaking countries, often in red and festive celebrations or day- Calendar, red font used these days, therefore, red letter day: refers to the "Day" or "happy " It also refers to the red "liabilities" or "loss" because people are always negative in red to So there are these phrases: red figure deficit in the red loss In common with the Chinese "red" words, translated into English, may not necessarily use the "red" for example: brown sugar brown sugar red wine red wine (B) yellow Yellow in English and Chinese in the extended meaning of the differences are In English, yellow can be said that the "timid, cowardly, despicable," meaning, for example: a yellow dog despicable, cowardly people a yellow livered coward Chinese yellow symbol of the term is sometimes vulgar, vulgar and obscene, indecent indecency means, such as yellow film, erotica, yellow CD, and so These in the name of "yellow" in English and "yellow" has nothing to However, in another English word blue is the color used to indicate the kind of meaning in Chinese, such as the blue jokes (dirty joke), blue films (yellow film) Second, the cultural differences in Western wedding First of all, in Western wedding culture and the first in the West in thinking about the differences: the Chinese people more conservative, like excitement, more old-fashioned thinking, so in the history of China for thousands of years the entire wedding customs did not change The thinking in the West is more open to the requirements of the wedding will be lower, they will be the climax of the wedding in the church: the sacred as the "wedding march" into the red carpet, Jiao Mei's father, the bride linked hands Rose walked slowly to the groom, the bride's father, daughter to the groom's hand on hand, her daughter's life will be entrusted to the groom, all eyes followed the couple, filled with well-being in their Second, the result of cultural differences wedding in the West because the West in a different China is mainly Buddhist, but the West is mainly C Therefore, the Western wedding is to be held in the church and the priest is Zhuhun R China's traditional customs of the most important part of the Bai Tiandi is, the worship heaven and earth even after the ceremony has 中西方文化差异表现在方方面面，从日常生活的打招呼用语、饮食文化等差异到思维方式等抽象方面的差异无所不在，下面着重从中西方颜色表达的差异，中西方婚礼文化差异等方面阐述。 一、中西方颜色表达的差异 不同颜色在不同语言中表达的方式并不一样。在中国代表一种意义，在西方又表示一种涵义，甚至对“颜色”的涵义理解恰恰相反。（一）red（红色）无论是在英语国家还是在中国，红色往往与庆祝活动或喜庆日子有关。日历中，这些日子常用红色字体，因此，red letter day：指的是“纪念日”或“喜庆的日子”。红色还指“负债”或“亏损”，因为人们总是用红笔登记负数。于是就有了这些词组：red figure赤字 in the red亏损汉语中常用的带“红”字的词语，翻译成英语，可不一定用“red”例如： 红糖brown sugar 红酒red wine （二） yellow黄色在英语和汉语中的引申含义差别比较大。英语中，yellow可以表示“胆小、卑怯、卑鄙”的意思，例如：a yellow dog 可鄙的人，卑鄙的人a yellow livered 胆小鬼汉语中黄色一词有时象征低级趣味、色情庸俗、下流猥亵的意思，如黄色电影、黄色书刊、黄色光碟等等。这些名称中的“黄”与英语中的“yellow”无关。然而，英语中另一个颜色词blue却常用来表示汉语中这类意思，如blue jokes（下流的玩笑）， blue films（黄色电影）等。 二、中西方婚礼文化差异 首先，中西方婚礼文化差异首先和中西方人在思维方面的差异有关：中国人比较保守，喜欢热闹，思维较古板，所以在中国历史几千年的时间里整个婚礼的习俗并没有多大的变化。而西方人的思想则比较开放，对于婚礼的要求也比较低，他们婚礼的高潮则是在教堂中：随着神圣的《婚礼进行曲》步入鲜红的地毯，娇美的新娘挽着父亲手捧玫瑰慢慢向新郎走去，新娘的父亲将女儿的手放在新郎的手上，将女儿的一生托付给新郎，所有人的目光注视着这对新人，幸福洋溢在他们的脸上。其次，造成中西方婚礼文化差异的原因是中西方不同的宗教。中国是以佛教为主，而西方则是基督教为主的。所以西方的婚礼是在教堂中举行而主婚人则是神甫。中方的传统婚俗中的最重要环节就是拜天地，拜了天地以后就算是礼成了。
Colors have direct effect on It is common that people use different colors to express their In Chinese culture, red always indicate prosperous, happiness, cheerful, revolution and auspicious, so we always use red to decorate important For instance, during the spring festival, we paste red couplet, hang on red lantern and play red fireworks to celebrate spring Therefore, there are many trademarks include the word of red, such as “红梅” beer, “红双喜” cigarettes and “红旗” But in the view of American and English, they regarded red as a negative word which always connected with violence, bleed, dangerous and misfortune, such as “red hands” and “red alert” One of the academic brands “红灯” radio is once have a slow seller in Doing a survey then find out the reason is “Red light” in English means From this, we can see that realize the cultural differences of target language are very For some western countries, they prefer white which they think it symbolizes purity, cleanliness and So on the wedding ceremony, brides usually wear white wedding
