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 set. First, in the West to express the color difference Different colors in different languages is not expressed in the same way. The representative of China in a sense, the West has a meaning that even the "color" to understand the meaning of the contrary. (A) red (red) Whether in China or in the English-speaking countries, often in red and festive celebrations or day-related. Calendar, red font used these days, therefore, red letter day: refers to the "Day" or "happy occasion." It also refers to the red "liabilities" or "loss" because people are always negative in red to register. 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 considerable. 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 on. These in the name of "yellow" in English and "yellow" has nothing to do. 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 much. 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 face. Second, the result of cultural differences wedding in the West because the West in a different religion. China is mainly Buddhist, but the West is mainly Christian. Therefore, the Western wedding is to be held in the church and the priest is Zhuhun Ren. China's traditional customs of the most important part of the Bai Tiandi is, the worship heaven and earth even after the ceremony has become.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。
Western novels in comparison First, Western novels in the history of the development of Western novels are based on myths and legends of its origin. In ancient times, science developed, out of fear of nature, the working people out of the imagination is the key to many of the world "God", describing the personification of God is a myth; who will describe the deified, that is legend. China opened the world's Pan story, the story of San Juan Five Emperors, the West Greek mythology, Roman mythology, Norse mythology, and so on are all typical works. East and West, the original novel, is closely linked with the history, as historical records complement the event. China Pre-Qin prose in the fable, the Han dynasty in the history books, biographies, the Wei and Jin Zhi, Zhi-person novel; the West of ancient Babylon, "the United States and Ji Jia disabilities epic", in ancient Greece, "Homer's epic," "Aesop's Fables "And so on, fall into this category, fiction, novels such novels have been about the characteristics of fiction, it is still not the literary creation, directly from the private collection record, so this type of fiction plot is relatively simple, writing rough comparison. Ban Gu said, "On the Street Lane words, hearsay are made of" is a novel kind of accurate assessment of the image. China's Tang Dynasty, the novel is only from history and literature become a creativity. Tang Dynasty culture has developed, the author's ideas are more open, the legend came into being at this time, Li Zhaowei "Liu Yi Chuan", Po Chu's "Everlasting Regret," Wolf's "Everlasting Regret Chuan" And so on, are made in accordance with the creation of the legend. For the fictional story of the Tang Dynasty more emphasis on imagination and literary talent, not just the history of the nature of things, but as the history of Zhi Zhi who is also the novel did not stop. The Legend of the Song Dynasty to the novel on a gradual decline, which followed the rise of this so that after processing will become a scholar so many novel and Romance novels such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Outlaws of the Marsh", "Journey to the West." The author of such novels is the use of private creative and re-created to describe the circumstances of the touching scenes of brilliant and vivid active in shaping the character known, there are obvious story-telling style of language. Here by the redevelopment, it will become an independent literary creation rather than things to come together with the civil process, the representative of this type is the "Golden Lotus", it was an open and ordinary life on the road, the reality is that literature has come a long way The development of the latter's "A Dream of Red Mansions" in ancient China Geng Shiba realism to the novels of the summit. "54" after the novelist began to learn from China's western fiction writing practices, and gradually out a new path. Western novels, is the "Renaissance" after the rapid development of mature. The development of the Middle Ages novel near-stagnation in the West, 14, the end of the century "Renaissance" to overthrow the literature of the Church of control, 15, appeared in the western end of the century to promote freedom of thought and the liberation of personality in order to describe the reality of life and portray characters from all walks of life for the content of the Humanist novels, is to tie in with this type of novel anti-feudal Europe at the time of arising at the same time it also set the novel in the West to human describing the tone of the main things. Jiaqiu Italy's "Decameron", Spain's Cervantes "Don Quixote" is the kind of representative works of fiction. The resulting novel is a classical, elegant favor of its national language to standardize the writing of this novel in 17th century France's most well-developed. As a note on behalf of Corneille's "Cid" neoclassical story of the rise of Western novels have been a language substantially improved. The beginning of the 18th century to promote popular science knowledge, enlightenment of the public consciousness for the purpose of the Enlightenment novels, of which there are relatively well-known German Goethe's "Faust", the United Kingdom Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe" and the Swift "Gulliver's Travels" and so on, this type of novel to the emergence of the bourgeois revolution at the time to mold public opinion. In the 19th century, romantic fiction, realistic novels and critical realism novel turn to occupy the leading position in the field of fiction. Romantic novels, such as France Victor Hugo's "Notre Dame de Paris", Goethe's "juvenile Witt of trouble" and so on, imaginative, unusual ideas, language and imaginative, strong feelings. Efforts to reflect the reality of the novel is the essence of life, and depict typical life of a typical phenomenon in the United Kingdom Dickens, France and Germany are of such novels as a representative of the writer. Critical realism novels exposed the efforts of the decadent feudal system and capitalist society, the dark, in-depth criticism of the reality of evil, France Balzac and Maupassant, the United Kingdom of Charlotte, Bronte,. Russia's Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, the United States of a large number of writers such as Mark Twain's works belong to this category. Value today, the three novels in the West is still the most important of the three types of literary fiction. East-West novel on the history of the development of more or less the case. Second, the characteristics of the novel in the West In addition to the basic characteristics of the novel, the story of the West also have their own characteristics are as follows: 1, the traditional Chinese novel attention to the characters, language and the details of the description, in contradiction to the conflict to display the images, but the character of a single, small changes in the absence of the main flu. Western novels are more people pay attention to the psychological description, stressed that mining figure in the subconscious mind, good at writing full, the changes in the strong sense of the main characters. Again, "coach Lin Feng Snow Mountain Temple" in the figure is only through dialogue and action leads to contradictions and conflicts, but Anna Karenina Wogui before a series of conflicts only with his description of the psychological will be able to express their clear; for poetry in Lin In the performance of her literary talent, and Paul with his inner monologue of the ideal; Zhang Zhong-Yong has only the character, but Jane Eyre's character is the brave, strong, warm, kind-hearted, and so many of the character and rubbing and Cheng's. In short, people in the area described in the West has its own unique features. 2, China compared with Western fiction novel plot twists and turns more and more complete story. Plot twists and turns, the story is complete fiction China's unique traditional arts. The Wei and Jin Zhi Zhi people on the novel twists and turns with vivid characteristics. Tang legend in the layout of many of the famous, magnificent anomaly, rigorous and clever, dramatic plot development. The contents of the Ming and Qing Dynasties novels scattered irregular, undulating waves, Cuoluoyouzhi, careful structure, an integral whole. "A Dream of Red Mansions", everywhere She Fu, Hui turning point, the story of Jia's best writing. Western plot in respect of the outstanding works, although there are many, but it can not be compared with the Chinese novel. 3, concise and lively Chinese language novel, rich in content and rich Western novels. Chinese folk artists absorbed the novel language, at the same time inherited the fine traditions of ancient prose, often a few words will be able to outline the incident or the people. Western novels in the author includes a broad range of knowledge, involve the community in many ways, so rich in content and rich people can gain knowledge in many areas. Engels said he was in Balzac's novel about 19th century France's domestic situation than he received any reports are more. Western novels have different characteristics, and also in the West different aesthetic concepts to a certain extent related. 4, Western novels have been the rule of the feudal culture of oppression destroyed. Chinese feudal culture makes the development of the novel is extremely difficult, Ming and Qing Dynasties more people to write stories for shame, so many great writers living, creating the conditions are not covered, many of the great works of authors who do not know. Western novels in the feudal culture makes almost the whole of the Middle Ages in the development of extremely slow, and many talented writers were forced to church services, wrote some of the religious nature of the article dry hole. Third, Western novels in the future prospects for the development of End of the Qing Dynasty, China and the West have begun to understand the other side of the system, the advantages of the novel in the West have been constantly learn from each other. Of course, due to historical reasons, the Chinese side of the draw a little more. To this day, the novelist in the West efforts are still two researchers in the novel's artistic charm, although the different languages of each other's appreciation of the arts to a certain extent, but the United States are interlinked. We have every reason to believe that in the near future, the novel art in the West will ultimately learn from each other and integrate, develop and reach new artistic heights.

隐喻的中西方文化差异Abstract: Metaphor is not only a linguistic phenomenon but also a way of thinking, which is one of the basic methods for human survival and cognition. It is rooted in language, thought and culture. Through the analysis and comparison of the use and concept of metaphor in different countries, we find that its universality and commonality of the metaphor as a basic human cognitive activities. However, metaphor in different languages reflects a different way of thinking and behavior and different cultural patterns. Owing to the different two modes of thinking and culture, there are some differences in understanding and formation that can not be ignored. Therefore, this paper will discuss the questions : metaphor, cross-cultural differences, translation. 1. Preamble Metaphor is a common phenomenon, a large number of people use metaphor to express his feelings and ideas. British scientists rhetoric Richards (IARichards) once said, "We have day-to-day in almost every conversation in three sentences may be a metaphor." According to statistics, life around the use of 4,700,000 new metaphor, 2,140,000 stereotypes of metaphor. Research in recent years, there is a great metaphor. This article introduced in the definition of metaphor on the basis of summing up the similarities and differences between Chinese and Western metaphor, and that its culture, precisely because of the prevalence of metaphor, how to translate metaphor has become a very important issue in the latter part of the article is aimed at The translation of metaphor put forward a translation of the three strategies. This paper studies aimed at trying to comparative analysis of English and Chinese in a large number of day-to-day language of metaphor to express, find out the differences and similarities, in order to be able to accurately translate the article in good metaphor to explore a little. This article is about the metaphor from the point of view to explore the differences in the way Thinking allows us to a deeper understanding of language, culture, the relationship between thinking and can more clearly understand the different ethnic language, culture, way of thinking, and so on On the nature of translation. 2. Metaphors in Chinese and Western studies In 1980, Lakoff & Johnson (George Lakoff & Mark Johnson) made a "living metaphor" (Metaphors We Live By) of the book, a modern metaphor to open a new chapter in the school. Domestic academia on the "metaphor" This is also a review of the system, such as Lin Wu's book "Study abroad metaphor Looking at the" beam-setting "metaphor research," Li of China and India "The main subjects Metaphor" and so on. However, the Chinese metaphor for the academic study of rare. "Chinese scholars on the study of metaphor, I am afraid the real contribution should be through the metaphor of the Chinese characteristics of research and study, through the metaphor of the Chinese and other languages in the comparative study of metaphor, metaphor for the establishment of a more general theory of the strong, and even unique The basis. "Lin Wu in the book" metaphor of the basic research the status quo, and the focus of the trend "in the main text, put forward a model of cultural metaphors with the relationship:" The language of metaphor is the emergence of expression into the system, which not only reflects the psychological Structure, but also reflect the different cultural models also play a role. " metaphor in the relationship between Chinese and Western cultures relationship Correspond to (corresponding) refers to the relationship between the two languages, English and Chinese in the meaning and metaphor in the use of the same meaning in the culture and image, and so on and-one mapping. This is because the survival of mankind itself, as well as all the external conditions, including the geographical environment, climate change, and the whole of human society and cultural background are certain there is a common, which formed a common humanity of their own and the outside world on many issues. In the "angry" mood, the English are angry that physiological responses, such as: grind one's teeth. (Teeth), bare one's teeth. (Ziyaliezui) an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. (an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth), reflecting the Chinese culture on the basis of common experience. non-correspondence English-Chinese metaphor, after all, rooted in two different languages on the soil, resulting in very different cultural backgrounds, fully corresponds to the few metaphors, the vast majority do not have common cultural identity in order to form the corresponding non-(non-corresponding ) Relations. Non-relationship metaphor can be roughly divided into three categories: Vehicle counterpart, Yu Yi does not correspond to English and Chinese in some cases there is the same as a metaphor, but in their own language and culture in the meaning of the metaphor means is different, even different. Peacock in the Chinese culture is auspicious, a symbol of beauty, especially the Dai people to express jumped Pavaner desire to better their own. If the Chinese people will be likened to a peacock, it means that beautiful light. However, in English, peacock (Peacock) is a symbol of pride, often interpreted as arrogance, love to show off. For example, They were eager to take the young peacock down a peg. (They want to pressure a pressure that the arrogant young guy's momentum). counterpart Yu Yi, the vehicle does not correspond to English-Chinese two nations due to their differences, from different angles to look at things the same, it will be a different analogy. As a result both English and Chinese language there is a different vehicle, but Yu was referring to was basically the same as the meaning of the case, that is the same kind of non-correspondence. Such as: a person described as the hearts of anxious, restless, Chinese is "ants on the hot pan" and English is "a cat on the bricks". There are similar: To kick down the ladder. Guohechaiqiao. Yu Yu Yi and do not correspond to Some of the metaphors Yu-Yu has a meaning and it refers to the language and culture are closely related, in another culture often can not find corresponding Yu and Yu Yi, which resulted in a culture known as the default Phenomenon. For example: in English "my rib" I am referring to Yu's wife, it comes from the "Bible" story, that is, Adam (Adam)'s wife Eve (Eve) God is with a piece of Adam's rib made. The Chinese did not, "the Bible" cultural background, and there was no analogy with rib habit, so the formation of a corresponding gap. Similarly, "ugly duckling" (Ugly Duckling) refers to the metaphor will get ahead of Little, "early bird" refers to the diligent Yu, in the words into Chinese language, culture, as a result of the default, can not find a corresponding relationship between metaphor . Chinese and Western cultures in the common metaphor Metaphor and culture to a large extent, human beings have a common understanding, rooted in the people's own day-to-day experience. In this connection, often between different ethnic groups are the same. Both English and Chinese language in a lot of abstract thinking that the metaphorical expression is the same. For example: the human child in the period to form a position on the concept of input in that direction in the form of many of them easily understood, including the position expressed by metaphor, which has become a fixed pattern of thinking. For example: The term direction (up, down) to describe people's social status, physical, emotional, and other abstract concepts to the case when the good is up; Sad is down. We Chinese are also not difficult to find a similar sentence: "Gas Prices "," enhance the social status "and" vision "and" depressed. " Since the objective laws of nature with the relative unity of different cultures to understand the nature of the course is similar to the cognitive experience. in the metaphor of the difference between Chinese and Western cultures As the English-Chinese geographical and cultural differences, living in two different cultures in practice there are a lot of differences, and different life experiences and let people understand the objective world, a different language carries different nationalities Cultural characteristics and cultural information. Understanding of metaphor is not out of socio-cultural backgrounds. For example, social and cultural impact of the color words is deep-rooted, some color words in different cultures in an entirely different meaning, has a distinctive feature of our national culture. Such as: English, said in green "inexperienced" and "shallow knowledge", such as: "a green hand", "I was very green when I started working there." The Chinese like to express the meaning of the word is "yellow" Such as: "Huangmaoyatou" and "flower girl". Cultural background knowledge is the metaphor to create a rich source of thinking, as the Eastern and Western cultures are different, metaphors in English and Chinese applications there are also significant differences. The metaphor of the cross-cultural differences between Chinese and Western influence Language is a cultural change in the development of the complex, subject to political, economic, historical, environmental and other factors. Chinese and Western styles are different, but in many ways to infiltrate interaction and integration, language differences and cultural metaphor for the inevitable impact is complex and diverse. metaphorical expression of cultural conflict Different nationalities in the world to observe a different perspective and ideas, different cultures there are a lot of conflict or inconsistency metaphor. If the animal metaphors, in English Long (dragon) is a kind of evil, will belch out smoke monster. "Bible", the dragon is the devil, is a symbol of evil and terror, there is a terrible vicious meaning. The Chinese dragon is in power, the auspicious symbol of Chinese traditional culture, the Chinese have "Wangzichenglong", "descendants of the Dragon." The same analogy in different cultures, different meaning, of two cultures "Dragon" to give a different connotation. differences in living conditions caused by differences in metaphor In English is a lot of metaphor and marine-related, such as: all at sea (at a loss what to do); drink like a fish (drinking cow); fish in the air (Shuizhonglaoyue); give up the ship (give up). In Chinese, there are a lot of the horse or cattle pose a metaphor, such as: "a willing ox" (a willing horse) Gan means to serve the community; "old ox" (a working horse) refers to the hard work; "bragging "(Talk horse), and so on. This is due to different geographical location and natural environment caused by different cultural metaphor. Britain is an island, ultimately, dependent on the sea, and China is a large agricultural country, farming culture deeply feudal society. different religious and cultural differences arising from the metaphor Religious culture of human culture is an important part of it by referring to the nation's religious beliefs, such as the formation of the sense of culture, "the Bible" in the story, with its language and meaning has become a feature of daily life in the West in terms of . For example, power of the keys (the keys to the kingdom of heaven; the rights of the Pope), in the right church, but in the wrong pew (in general is right, but not the details), and so on. Chinese culture and Buddhism, Taoism and more affected by the impact of Confucianism, the Chinese, there are a lot of related argot. "Jiehuaxianfo"; "临时抱佛脚"; "做一天和尚撞一天钟" and so on. It is due to the diversity of culture, resulting in the differences between English and Chinese metaphor. This difference to the cross-cultural communication has brought the impact. As a foreign language students, do not understand the difference between metaphor and language will make mistakes, sometimes mistakenly made good as pleasant, caused by either one or both of the conversation unpleasant; also sometimes mocked as a praise. When a native language other operators do not understand the language contained in the cultural differences, it is often difficult for such language to accurately convey the meaning of the understanding, difficulty to the cross-cultural exchange. 3. Metaphor of the three methods of translation The translation of metaphor not only accurately and effectively convey the original language, but also loyal, accessible, complete reproduction of the original language and cultural connotation and significance. But in the West because of cultural differences and different, so the translation of metaphor in English on the need to consider not only its literal sense, and so on, but also in the West should pay attention to their cultural differences. American Eugene Nida said: "Translation is the exchange between the two cultures. The real success of the translation, even more familiar with the two cultures is more important to master two languages. Because only in terms of its role in the culture In the background will only be meaningful. "Therefore, the translation of metaphor to combining Chinese and Western cultures, and cultural backgrounds to leave the translation, can not be achieved between the two languages of the real exchange. Literal Translation The so-called "literal" is asked in the language when conditions permit, in the translation to maintain the original content, but also to maintain the original form, in particular, to maintain the original metaphor, the image of the nation, and other local color. In the literal translation method to maintain the original expression of the culture and at the same time, target enriched the vocabulary and expression, such as: "a Pandora's box" (Pandora's Box); "chain reaction" (chain reaction). In the original text and asked the information contained in the same culture, we should adopt the literal translation method. (1) You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. : You are my sun, my only sunshine. In Chinese and English, the sun is warm, beautiful, in both languages, they disseminate information on culture are the same. As a rule, and asked in the original text in the form of grammatical structure, similar to the style or color on basically the same, the law should adopt the literal translation. (1) He is another Shylock. : He is also a Shylock. (Note: Shakespeare's Shylock is "The Merchant of Venice" in a very harsh mean business People. ) (2) To carry coals to Newcastle. : Coal to Newcastle. (Note: "Newcastle" is a British coal, coal is superfluous here.) 4. Conclusion Metaphor as a way to figures of speech or skills, a unique feature of grammar, which features make the sentence more flexible and constructive, but the United States. Is a metaphor to express more complex ideas and things, a powerful tool. Wherever and whenever people in their daily lives are often used metaphor. As Mr. Lin Zhuang said: "The metaphor is no longer expanding his knowledge and understanding of a passive process. To help us in the form of new knowledge, the metaphor has played an active role so that we can better a better understanding of the objective world." In English and Chinese Metaphorical significance of the difference is due to cultural differences between East and West, that mode of thinking, moral values and sense of difference. However, different cultural impact of what is the concept of metaphor, it is still a need to examine and address the problem. At the same time, in the metaphor of the process of translation must pay special attention to cultural differences. The best translation is to be able to accurately reflect the true meaning of the author, as well as its cultural and stylistic characteristics of the translation, that is, the translation of metaphor to make as much as possible the original language and to achieve the target language culture, and so on.

阿巴贡,一个一毛不拔的吝啬鬼,在他的一生中,几乎没有感情可言,他甘愿沦为金钱的奴隶,为了金钱,可以不顾一切,甚至可以牺牲儿子和女儿的终生幸福……影片中的阿巴贡有一个儿子克莱昂特和一个女儿爱莉丝,他们是正值青春年少的妙龄少年,然而,他们却并未像其他的年轻人那样,可以享受天伦之乐,他们的父亲拥有万贯的家财,而他们,作为一个拥有万贯家财的父亲的儿子,却完全不像公子哥抑或是千金小姐,他们穿着最朴素的衣服,过着最清淡的生活,而这些都是因为他们的父亲不肯拿出一分钱来替他们购置新的衣物,而他自己也是如此,每天穿着同一件衣服,就连最后儿子和女儿的结婚礼服也是由对方所出。他很想让别人为其做事情,然而却不愿意掏一分钱,就拿他喜欢上玛丽雅娜来说吧。他虽然是一个吝啬鬼,但他首先是一个男人,男人都是喜欢漂亮的姑娘的,而他也不例外,他委托别人帮其说媒,起初说的好好的,可是一提到钱,他就像是发疯了似的,对人如老虎般凶恶,简直就是变色狼转世,令人“敬而远之”,觉得他不可理喻!在对待他的家人的问题上,就更加显得他的吝啬与小气!为了节省开销,他雇佣了一个人既当厨子,又当马夫;为了节省开销,他终日不给马喂食物,以至于最后只剩下皮包骨头,令人不禁心生怜悯之心……不仅对待旁人如此,更令人不可思仪的是他对待他的儿子和女儿亦是如此。儿子克莱昂特为了生存起见,竟然另外出去借钱,而债主竟然是喜欢放高利贷的父亲阿巴贡,这一看似滑稽荒诞的情节正刻划了阿巴贡的自私及爱财如命的一个吸血鬼的丑陋形象!在对待他们的婚姻问题上,唯一可以左右他的决断的便是:儿子的结婚对象有没有大量的嫁妆带来,女儿的结婚对象是否不要嫁妆,而他为他们择偶的标准亦是如此,谁不要嫁妆就将女儿嫁给谁,当然最好是还能从中涝到好处;对儿子,则是谁给女儿配备的嫁妆丰厚就让儿子同谁结婚,看到这样的父亲,我们不得不说,这整个是一老顽固、老变态!真的是不可理喻!!这部影片虽然讲述的是一个吝啬鬼阿巴贡的生活点滴,但是却从不同曾面反映了旧时封建社会的性质,刻划了一个活生生的吸血鬼、吝啬鬼的形象,也反映了在旧时封建时代的父母包办婚姻的恶劣风气,最后影片以阿巴贡的全部积蓄被盗为尾,以其强烈的反映更生动的刻画了他的为人,在箱子下落明了的情况下,他为了避免付法官的口供费,竟然要处死说谎话的仆人,从中可以看出他的噬财如命,认为金钱高于一切,没有了金钱,人生也就变得毫无意义,在金钱面前,他丧失了人性、失去了爱情以及对儿子和女儿的亲情、对仆人及其他人的友情、对穷人的怜悯之情、对牲畜的关爱之情……好象人世间的一切对他来说都已经不复存在,甚至包括他自己,在他的信念中,只剩下了金钱,金钱就是他生命的唯一!片尾以阿巴贡拖着他那沉重的装满了金钱的箱子踏上了他孤独的人生之旅,而请求获得布施的老婆婆依旧在后面追寻着他收尾,使得本文更加具有讽刺性,看似荒诞的结尾,实则给人以无穷的回味……
从人物形象的阶级意识上说,泼留希金应列为最早,他是前苏联封建农奴制下的地主。夏洛克排行第二,他是十六世纪,即封建社会解体,资本原始积累初期旧式的高利贷者。阿巴公算作老三,他是十七世纪法国资本主义发展时期的资产者,葛朗台成了老四,他是十九世纪法兰西革命动荡时期投机致富的资产阶级暴发户。葛朗台——巴尔扎克,《欧也妮葛朗台》 夏洛克——莎士比亚,《威尼斯商人》 阿巴贡——莫里哀,《悭吝人》 泼留希金——果戈理,《死魂灵》 夏洛克是个贪婪、阴险、凶残的吝啬鬼形象。夏洛克作为典型的吝啬鬼形象,其个性是阴险凶残凶残地致安东尼奥于死地,而且一味固执,没有丝毫的同情怜悯。这就是夏洛克不同于其他吝啬鬼的个性。作为吝啬鬼,夏洛克和葛朗台虽个性不同,但都有贪婪吝啬的共性,都是处心积虑地聚敛财富的资产阶级代表。而果戈里笔下的泼留希金则是俄国没落地主的典型,是俄国封建社会行将灭亡的缩影。虽然贪婪吝啬三者如一,但腐朽没落则是泼留希金的个性。泼留希金已经不大明白自己有些什么了,然而他还没有够,每天每天聚敛财富,而且经他走过的路,就用不着打扫,甚至偷别人的东西。这就是泼留希金的所作所为。阿巴贡是个典型的守财奴、吝啬鬼。他爱财如命,吝啬成癖。他不仅对仆人及家人十分苛刻,甚至自己也常常饿着肚子上床,以至半夜饿得睡不着觉,便去马棚偷吃荞麦。他不顾儿女各有自己钟情的对象,执意要儿子聚有钱的寡妇,要女儿嫁有钱的老爷。当他处心积虑掩埋在花园里的钱被人取走后,他呼天抢地,痛不欲生,活画出一个视钱如命的守财奴形象。
夏洛克和其他3个吝啬鬼都很吝啬,都有些病态了,和他们不同的是夏洛克比其他人要刻画得饱满的多,他宾不仅仅抠到极点,并且爱自己的女儿,面对社会对犹太人种的歧视,他痕迹与表达,这又体现了他另外作为犹太人的别爱,被压迫的痛苦。 老师归纳的,我们今天才学,现学现卖欧
欧洲文学长廊中的四个经典人物形象,以吝啬而著称。对利益的追逐,使他们丧失理智、人性,并将愚蠢、下作、卑鄙无耻等人心的黑暗面表现得淋漓尽致。 这四位吝啬鬼,年龄相仿,脾气相似,有共性,又有各自鲜明的个性特征:夏洛克的凶狠,阿巴贡的多疑,葛朗台的狡黠,泼留希金的迂腐。1、 夏洛克(英国戏剧家 莎士比亚 喜剧《威尼斯商人》)他是犹太人,高利贷者,贪婪、吝啬、冷酷和狠毒;虽然腰缠万贯,却从不享用,一心想着放高利贷。极力限制女儿杰西卡与外界交往,使其带着钱财与情人私奔;无情地虐待克扣仆人,甚至连饭也不让人吃饱;十分痛恨威尼斯商人安东尼奥,因为他慷慨大度,乐于助人,憎恶高利贷者。夏洛克作为典型的吝啬鬼形象,其个性是阴险凶残,当法庭调解让借款人安东尼奥出两倍甚至三倍的钱偿还他时,夏洛克险恶的说:"即使这六千块钱中间的每一块钱都可以分作六份,每一份都可以变成一块钱,我也不要它们,我只要照约处罚。"说着便在自己的鞋口上磨刀,时刻准备从安东尼奥胸口上割下一磅肉,凶残地致安东尼奥于死地,因为安东尼奥借钱给人时不收利息,影响了夏洛克的高利贷行业,所以他要借机报复,致安东尼奥于死地,好使自己的高利贷行业畅行无阻,从而聚敛更多的财富。而且一味固执,没有丝毫的同情怜悯。在威尼斯法庭上,他凶相毕露,"我向他要求的这一磅肉,是我出了很大的代价买来的,它是属于我的,我一定要把它拿到手里。2、 阿巴贡(法国剧作家 莫里哀 喜剧《悭吝人》, 或《吝啬鬼》、《悭吝鬼》)阿巴贡是个典型的守财奴、吝啬鬼。他爱财如命,吝啬成癖。他不仅对仆人及家人十分苛刻,甚至自己也常常饿着肚子上床,以至半夜饿得睡不着觉,便去马棚偷吃荞麦。他不顾儿女各有自己钟情的对象,执意要儿子娶有钱的寡妇,要女儿嫁有钱的老爷。当他处心积虑掩埋在花园里的钱被人取走后,他呼天抢地,痛不欲生,绘画出一个视钱如命的守财奴形象。莫里哀擅长塑造概括性很强的艺术形象。阿巴贡几乎成了吝啬的代名词。莫里哀笔下的人物性格鲜明,但稍嫌单薄,近于批评家所说的"扁形人物"。莫里哀的喜剧大多遵循古典主义的"三一律"原则,冲突集中,结构严谨。莫里哀常用"闹剧"手法来营造喜剧气氛,增强喜剧的讽刺效果。3、 葛朗台(法国作家 巴尔扎克 长篇小说《欧也妮·葛朗台》)葛朗台一生只恋着金钱,从来只是认钱不认人。侄儿查理为父亲的破产自杀而哭的死去活来,他居然说:“这年轻人是个无用之辈,在他的心里是死人,而不是钱。”在葛朗台看来,查理应该伤心的不是父亲的死,而是他不仅从此成了一贫如洗的破落子弟,而且还得为死去的父亲负四万法郎的债。人死是小事,失去财富是大事。妻子要自杀,葛朗台根本无所谓,而一想到这会使他失去大笔遗产,他心里就发慌。于是千方百计地抢夺了女儿欧也妮对母亲财产的继承权,并惺惺作态许诺按月付100法郎的“大利钱”,可一年下来,一个子也没舍得给女儿,太太生命垂危之际,他唯一的思考是治疗“要不要花很多的钱”。葛朗台把爱奉献给了金钱,而把冷漠无情的留给了自己,并通过自己有施与他人,他花了两三年的时间,用“他的吝啬作风把女儿训练成熟”,而且“变成了习惯”他这才放心地把伙食房的钥匙交给她。欲守财,必吝啬。吝啬,是一切守财奴共有的特征。葛朗台是个占有狂。看到金子,要占有金子,便是他的执着狂。他抢夺女儿的梳妆匣,象老虎一样扑向睡着的婴儿。他担心女儿分去他手中一部分家财,“在女儿面前打哆嗦,”完全失去了常态。晚年患了“疯癫”,只能坐在轮椅上靠人推来推去,但他还亲自看藏着金子的密室。教父给他做临终法事,他竟想把镀金的十字架一把抓在手里。他临死时最依恋的不是唯一的女儿,而是将由女儿继承的那笔财产,并吩咐女儿要好好代为管理,等到她也灵魂升天后到天国与他交帐。一句话,随着时间推移,守财奴的占有狂,更是变本加厉。作者通过葛朗台一生的描写,深刻揭露了资本主义社会中人与人之间赤裸裸的金钱关系。贪婪和吝啬是相辅相成的,吝啬鬼们聚敛财富时都是贪婪,在使用财富时都是吝啬。像其他吝啬鬼一样,葛朗台既贪婪成癖,又吝啬成鬼。4、 泼留希金(俄国作家 果戈里 长篇小说《死魂灵》)泼留希金是俄国没落地主的典型,是俄国封建社会行将灭亡的缩影。虽然贪婪吝啬与葛朗台不相上下,都是处心积虑地聚敛财富的资产阶级代表。但腐朽没落则是泼留希金的个性。他实为富豪却形似乞丐,这个地主蓄有一千以上的死魂灵,要寻出第二个在他的仓库里有这么多的麦子麦粉和农产物,在堆房燥房和栈房里也充塞着尼绒和麻布、生熟羊皮、干鱼以及各种蔬菜和果子的人来就不大容易,然而他本人的吃穿用度却极端寒伧。衣服很象一件妇人的家常衫子,且沾满了面粉,后背还有一个大窟窿。头上戴的帽子,正如村妇所戴的,颈子上也围着一种莫名其妙的东西,是旧袜子?腰带还是绷带?不能断定。但决不是围巾。他的住室,如果没有桌子上的一顶破旧睡帽作证,是谁也不相信这房子里住着活人的。他的屋子里放着"一个装些红色液体,内浮三个苍蝇,上盖一张信纸的酒杯......一把发黄的牙刷,大约还在法国人攻入莫斯科之前,它的主人曾经刷过牙的"。泼留希金虽家存万贯,但对自己尚且如此吝啬。对他人就可想而知了。女儿成婚,他只送一样礼物——诅咒;儿子从部队来信讨钱做衣服也碰了一鼻子灰,除了送他一些诅咒外,从此与儿子不再相关,而且连他的死活也毫不在意。他的粮堆和草堆都变成了真正的粪堆,只差还没人在这上面种白菜;地窖里的面粉硬得象石头一样,只好用斧头壁下来。泼留希金已经不大明白自己有些什么了,然而他还没有够,依然每天聚敛财富,甚至偷别人的东西。

Table Manners The main difference between Chinese and W estern eating habits is that unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of food and will do their best to give you a taste of many different types of cuisine. Among friends, they will just order enough for the people there. If they are taking somebody out for dinner and the relationship is polite to semi-polite, then they will usually order one more dish than the number of guests ( people, five dishes). If it is a business dinner or a very formal occasion, there is likely to be a huge amount of food that will be impopssible to finish. A typical meal starts with garlic. These are followed by the main courses, hot meat and vegetable dishes. Finally a soup is brought out, which is followed by the starchy "staple"food, which is usually rice or noodles or sometimes dumplings. Many Chinese eat rice (or noodles or whatever) last, but if you like to have your rice together with other dishes, you should say so early on. One thing to be aware of is that when eating with a Chinese host, you may find that the person is using their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there, and maybe cover it up with a little rice when they are not looking. There is a certain amount of leniency involved when dealing with Westerners. So you won't be chastised. Eating No-no's Traditionally speaking, there are many taboos at Chinese tables, but these days not many people pay attention to them. However, there are a few things to keep in mind, especially if you are a guest at a private home. 1) Don't stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl. Instead,lay them on your dish. The reason for this is that when somebody dies, the shrine to them contains a bowl of sand or rice with two sticks of incense stuck upright in it. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it looks like this shrine and is equivalent to wishing death upon a person at the table! 2) Make sure the spout of the teapot is not facing anyone. It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout is facing towards somebody. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting,usually just outward from the table. 3) Don't tap on your bowl with your chopsticks. Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite. Also, in a restaurant, if the food is coming too slow people will tap their bowls. If you are in someone's home, it is like insulting the cook. Eat Local You can get expensive, delicious meals in any of the large hotels, but if you are looking for atmosphere, you have to go to a local joint. Not only is it cheaper, but you can get a good look at the locals and what normal people are like. And what the food lacks in presentation is made up for in the taste. Some restaurants have English menus, but don't count on it. A good way to choose dishes is to look at what othes are eating and point at it for the waitress. The other option is to play "Myatery Dinner," where players randomly point at items in the menu and wait for the surprise dishes to come. Whoever orders the braised dog heart with scallions in shark vomit sauce wins! If you bring your Guide with you, however, you can use the food guide in the back of the book to choose some safe and delicious fare. Also, be sure to sample the local brew, Yanjing Beer. Drining Gan Bei!(cheers!) Alcohol is a big part of eating in Beijing. Especially when dining with Chinese hosts, you can expect the beer to flow freely and many beis to be gan-ed.(Gan Bei literally means "dry the glass")Besides beer, the official Chinese alcoholic beverage is bai jiu, high-proof Chinese liquor made from assorted grains. There are varying degrees of bai jiu, and some are quite good. The Beijing favorite is called Er Guo Tou, which is a whopping 56% alcohol. More expensive and less formidable are Maotai and Wuliangye, which go for about 300-400 yuan per bottle. In comparison, Er Guo Tou costs a modest 4or 5 yuan per ping(bottle). If you are not a drinker, or don't feel up to the challenge, just say "wo bu hui he jiu"(I don't drink). It is generally acceptable to use Coke or tea as an alcohol substitute.
Diet idea the Europeans said that in the world has three big good food, in each edition has China and France, only then actually had different explanations about third, has said that was Italy, also had said that was countries' and so on Turkey, Tunisia or Morocco. Although reaches a stalemate, but everybody has a mutual recognition, the diet often can reflect the different nationality aspect and so on habits and customs and cultural thought differences. one time hosts the banquet in the Chinese restaurant, on the hotel vegetable very slowly, unconscious has passed for nearly two hours, but the vegetable has as if only then gotten up half. Is first time attends the Chinese meal banquet near a place woman, cannot bear asks me, your Chinese treats on these many vegetables? I said that must be many in China, usually is above 10. She is very surprised, including said that China's banquet too has been really rich, China's good food is very no wonder famous. But after a while, she also asks me, has a phenomenon to be very strange: The Chinese eats meal each time on that many vegetables, can be why long so thinly. But France enters the vegetable to be very each time few, but is why fatter than the Chinese? I am at a loss for words for a while, but thought that she asks how many truth a little, because that day shares a table several Chinese appear quite emaciated, but several French are all tall and sturdy. Thinks that spoke an own idea with her: China is a hospitable nationality, only then on a table vegetable had only then thought that has not neglected the visitor. Sometimes moreover the Chinese pays great attention the form, therefore in China's cooking, the vegetable style is ever changing, makes concrete is fastidious about the color fragrance to each vegetable matching. But European as if some, are inferior to China obviously actually in the vegetable variety change high and low free time, what but is fastidious is its nutrition matching and the protection. This is, the French diet idea important difference, how many also reflected the French chemical property standard difference. each people have the color which to color understanding oneself like, a country and the nationality are also same, likes to the different color being possible to reflect a national or the national esthetic appeal and the likes and dislikes tendency overall. has one time bumps into an EU commission's pair of professor husbands and wives, mentions China national dress which in the Shanghai APEC conference various countries' leader puts on, they said are attractive, but has a point to be not too clear, why do the Asian leaders mostly put on red, but the Western leader has chosen the blue color. I said that the color is leader designates. The Asian country has the same cultural context probably, red in the Chinese culture, is also possibly representing lucky, the wealth in the entire Asian culture and propitious pleasant, therefore the Asian leaders as if by prior agreement have chosen red. I ask in reply them, what does the blue color represent in the Western culture? They said the westerner to believe that the blue color represents is calm and is calm. thinks that I also said the East and West cultural difference was really too big, for example the dragon in China was nationality's symbol, but had one in Belgium's Mongolian Si Shize to hit the dragon festival, the dragon is regarded as the devil, has been massacred by fable in protection sacred · Michelle, therefore did specially hits the dragon festival to congratulate that eliminated the disaster shortcoming to thank Michelle. Professor husbands and wives also approves the East and West cultural difference hugeness, and approves the culture to need to exchange. in thinking mode West's cultural difference also displays in many aspects, but simple summarizes is not actually complex: Reflected that to the thinking mode in is abstract and the embodiment difference, reflected that to the life manner in as if may understand is more practical for the westerner, but Chinese how many stresses some mental feeling. For instance compares French word and Chinese writing, this point is very obvious. The Chinese writing makes the word to pay great attention the image much, what but in the French more pays great attention to consider is the use value. Looks like in Chinese the name card, in the French translates literally is the card which the visit uses, but the aircraft carrier calls in the French to carry airplane's warship and so on, is embarks from the actual uses makes the word. But presses the glass plate which likely the picture uses, we are also the words which makes from its use value angle, but the French has been more direct-viewing, the literal translation is “places above the picture”. reflects to the drawing in is so. Everybody knew that the traditional Chinese painting greatly opens big he, splashes ink enjoyably the human body proportion which and optics principle is fastidious with the European oil painting and so on completely belongs to the technical category which two have nothing to do with one another, is as if very difficult to have the common language. Sometimes the European not too can understand that sometimes we too abstract art expression means that we also will think European's artistic skill too practical duty, deficient divine and wonderful spirit. Looked that sometimes in many European drawing history has been presented for the classics religious theme painting, the Chinese while sighs its technique practical exquisite, also will sigh with emotion European master the imagination the deficiency: In order to explain that the angel is flying, must give these lovable young and clevers to add on a pair of wing. But our ancestor has not also drawn several thousand years, how many white clouds adds on nearby these beautiful female celestial, they have not flown? Has the ideal condition, has the imagination space. this is the cultural difference. But, the difference brings not always the difference, it gave culture masters of art to leave behind the broad creation space exactly, if could find an accurate combining site, not only that will give two nationalities, will also give the entire world to bring one kind to have forgives the significance the harmony and beautiful, for instance Zhao Wuji's painting manifested the inexhaustible charm which the culture blended 饮食观念 欧洲人都说世界上有三大美食,每一个版本里都有中国和法国的,只有关于第三家却说法不一,有说是意大利的,也有说是土耳其、突尼斯或摩洛哥等国的。尽管相持不下,但大家都有个共识,饮食常能反映出不同民族的生活习惯和文化思维等方面的差异。 一次在中餐馆举行宴会,饭店菜上得很慢,不知不觉中过去了近两个小时,但菜似乎才上了一半。临座的一位女士是第一次参加中餐宴会,忍不住问我,你们中国人请客都上这么多菜吗?我说,在中国还要多,通常是10道以上。她很惊讶,连说中国的宴会实在太丰富了,难怪中国的美食很有名。但过了一会儿,她又问我,有个现象很奇怪:中国人吃饭每次都上那么多菜,可为什么都长得那么瘦。而法国入每次菜很少,但为什么都比中国人胖呢? 我一时语塞,但又觉得她问得多少有点道理,因为那天同桌的几个中国人都显得比较瘦弱,而几个法国人个个人高马大。想了想,和她讲了自己的一点想法:中国是个好客的民族,只有上了一桌子菜才觉得没怠慢客人。另外中国人有时候更注重形式,所以在中国的烹调里,菜的样式千变万化,具体到每一道菜又非常讲究色香味的搭配。而欧洲人似乎更实际一些,在菜的花色变化上下的工夫显然不如中国,但讲究的是其营养的搭配和保护。这是中、法饮食观念的重要差异,多少也反映出了中法文化性格的不同。 对色彩的认识 每个人都有自己喜欢的颜色,一个国家和民族也一样,对不同颜色的喜好从整体上可以反映出一个民族或者国家的审美情趣与好恶倾向。 有一次碰到欧盟委员会的一对教授夫妇,谈起上海APEC会议上各国领导人穿的中国民族服装,他们都说非常好看,但有一点不太明白,为什么亚洲领导人大多穿红色,而西方领导人则多选择了蓝色。我说颜色都是领导人自己选定的。大概亚洲国家有着相同的文化背景,红色在中国文化里,也可能在整个亚洲文化中都代表着幸运、财富和吉祥如意,所以亚洲领导人都不约而同地选择了红色。我反问他们,蓝色在西方文化里代表什么?他们说西方人认为,蓝色代表冷静和沉着。 想了想,我又补充说东西方文化差异实在是太大了,比如说龙在中国是民族的象征,而在比利时的蒙斯市则有一个打龙节,龙被视作恶魔,被传说中的保护神圣·米歇尔杀掉了,因此特意搞打龙节来庆贺除灾弊感谢米歇尔。教授夫妇也非常认同东西方文化差异的巨大,并认可文化需要交流。 思维方式 中西方的文化差异还表现在诸多方面,但简单加以概括其实并不复杂:反映到思维方式上是抽象和具象的差别,反映到生活态度上则似乎可以理解为西方人更加实用,而中国人则多少更偏重一些精神感受。比如把法语单词和中文文字加以比较,这一点就很明显。中国文字造词多注重形象,而法文里更多地注重考虑的是实用价值。像中文里的名片,法文里直译就是访问用的卡片,而航空母舰在法文里叫载飞机的军舰等等,都是从实际用途出发来造词的。而像压照片用的玻璃板,我们也是从其使用价值角度来造的词,但法国人就更加直观了,直译就是“放在照片上面的”。 反映到绘画上更是如此。大家都知道中国画的大开大阖、泼墨写意和欧洲油画讲究的人体比例和光学原理等完全是属于两个风马牛不相及的技术范畴,似乎很难有共同语言。欧洲人有时不太能够理解我们过于抽象的艺术表现手法,我们有时也会认为欧洲人的艺术技巧过于写实本分,缺乏灵气。看多了欧洲绘画史上被奉为经典的宗教题材画作,中国人有时在感叹其技法写实细腻的同时,也会感慨欧洲大师们想象力的贫乏:为了说明天使在飞,就非得给那些可爱的小精灵们加上一双翅膀。而我们的祖先不也画了几千年了吗,在那些美丽的仙女旁边加上几朵白云,她们不就飞起来了吗?多有意境,多有想象空间啊。 这就是文化的差异。但是,差异带来的并不总是分歧,它恰恰给文化艺术大师们留下了广阔的创作空间,如能从中找到一个准确的结合点,那不仅会给两个民族,而且也会给整个世界带来一种更具包涵意义的和谐与美丽,比如赵无极的画作就体现出了文化交融的无尽魅力。
从这几篇 英语 作文 中,可以适当了解到中西饮食 文化 的巨大差异。下面是我给大家带来中西饮食文化差异英语作文,供大家参阅!
The Food Culture Difference Between China and West Studying food cultural differences, we can find out a joint enhancing the communication between China and the west through a comprehensive study of the subject. It may be a great help to the communication of the Chinese and western cultures.
Diet is actually the contents of our daily lives. It has special status in the Chinese culture, and it also has a great distinction between China and the west. As one of the world ancient nations, China’s diet has a history almost as long as that of Chinese civilization. But in western countries, ancient thinkers devoted less attention to the food problem than the Chinese philosophers differences in concepts, targets, patterns, attribution and nature had reflected the different dietary culture in the different state characteristic.
Differences in Concepts
Chinese diet is a sense of beauty diet and pays attention to the "color, flavor, taste " regardless of the nutrition . Chinese people hanker on a diet is just the “mood” that is difficult for one to say anything. Even using the "color, flavor, shape and implement "which people often said to make the" realm "reification, is still difficult to crown all.
The major differences of eating culture between the West and China
use of tableware
As we all know, chopsticks is our traditional tableware. We use chopsticks and spoon mostly and cups,plates,bowls and saucers are western use knife and eat..Their knifes can be divided into consumption knife, meat knife, friet knife, butter knife, fish knife and so on. The also have many kinds of forks like consumption fork, fish fork, and lobster fork.
way to cook
China has very rich kind of cooking methods, such as braising, quick boiling, scaling, stewing, gradual simmering, slow red cooking, steaming, decoction and so on, up to more than thirty kinds. Besides, the dishes cooked with these methods are numerous. That is why Chinese feel it is very interesting to cook, while the Westerners emphasize too much on scientific diet and the collocation of nutrition. They cook according to scientific disciplines all the time, which is mechanized and monotonous, therefore without any joy.
order of saving dishes
In a Chinese banquet cold dishes are the first served, next the hot dishes and the main course come with the following of soup, then follows the main food or desserts. Fruits often come the last. In a western banquet the serving order is different. The first course of Western dinner is appetizer. Appetizers have specific flavors, mainly salty or sour. They are few in amount but high in qualities. Different from Chinese dinners, the second course of Western dinner is soup. Western soup can be divided into four kinds, clear soup, cream soup, vegetable soup and cool soup which can be divided into more kinds. The third course of a Western dinner is non-stable dish. Usually, aquatic products, eggs, bread is called non-stable dish. The fourth course of Western dinner is the main course, which contains meat and bird species. The fifth course of Western dinner is dishes made of vegetables. Westerners often eat raw vegetables, so vegetables are often made into salad. The six course of Western dinner is dessert, such as pudding, pancakes, ice cream, cheese and fruits. The last course contains beverage, coffee or tea.
The Western diet culture difference
Western diet due to geographical characteristics, influence of
climate factors such as environment, customs, appears in the ingredients, flavors, cooking methods, different degrees of differences in eating habits. It is because of these differences, diet has a strong regional character. Differences between Chinese and Western culture makes a difference of Chinese and Western food culture, and this difference from the West in ways of thinking and policy. Chinese focus on "Heaven", Westerners focus on "people-oriented".
Nutrition and delicious(营养与美味)
Due to West philosophy thought of different, Westerners Yu diet heavy science, heavy science is emphasizes nutrition, so Western diet to nutrition for highest guidelines, eating like for a bio of machine added fuel, special emphasizes food of nutrition components, protein, and fat, and carbohydrates, and vitamin and the various inorganic elements of content is match expedient, calories of supply is right, and these nutrition components is can for eating who full absorption, has no other side effects. Knowledge of these problems are cooking, and how color,
fragrance and taste of the dishes, it is first requested. Sanhedrin Premier diet in Western countries--France, its food culture in many ways and we
approximate, but access to nutritional problems, will open the distance between the two sides.
Five flavors mixed with the operation aimed at the pursuit of delicious cooking in China, during the processing of the hot frying and slow fire attack for a long time may cause destruction of the nutritional components of food. France is also the pursuit of delicious cooking, but at the same time not forgetting "nutrition" that premise, consistently delicious is that they do not care nutrition for the taking. Especially modern cooking trends occurred in the 1960 of the 20th century, with special emphasis on health, diet, to the pursuit of light oil, emphasized the use of fresh raw materials, stressed during the cooking process to
maintain original nutrition and taste, so vegetables are eaten raw. So that the Western diet nutrition is universal。
To be fair, when it comes to nutritional problems also hit the biggest weakness of the Chinese food。
While we pay attention to diet, a healing cuisine, food, attention to diet to keeping fit, but we cook in search of delicious as the first
requirement, resulting in many nutrient losses in the process. Chinese chefs to participate in cooking contest in the world in recent years, others set out clearly a vegetable nutritional components on the side, we come up with this material. People ask questions, also flounder at some
moment, greatly eat the suffering which cannot be told to others!
We have always been primary purpose is as a pursuit of delicious eating. Folk saying "to eat for days, fresh taste first." When people praise the food and always says "smell good", but that is because we feel the color, flavor and sensory organs "eyes, nose and mouth" up and down the order. People in the "color, smell and taste", has always been the "" character "King".
Because of the extreme importance to the Chinese people, as well as the carrier of Chinese food just tastes, such as recognized luxury menu your cake and the sauce, shark fin, sea cucumber, hump, similar to its main constituents are cheap pork skin gelatin, itself is delicious, fresh soup to feed it, feed it, then use it to feed the people. Did this is not the flavor carriers to the core﹖
The Chinese emphasis on taste, is reflected in everyday conversation, such as family banquet, as soon as the main dish on the side table, the owner often say with modesty: "the meal well, not necessarily your taste. "He would never say:" does not have much nutritional value of vegetables, not enough calories。”
Cook about nutrition in the West at the expense of taste, at least for
primary purpose is not to taste enjoy. They to cold drink table, iced of cold wine also to then plus ice, and tongue surface throughout of taste neural once iced, will greatly lost taste of sensitivity, gradually to cannot differentiation taste; that with blood of steak and white fish, and white meat, raw of vegetable, white water Cook beans, and cook potatoes, although has "taste" and does not into "road", all are reflect has Western people on taste of ignored. They refuse to use monosodium glutamate, is sufficient to prove that such people are not aware of, and are not "known view" guest of honour!
Based on the importance of nutrition, Westerners more raw
vegetables, not just raw tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, is the cabbage, onion, broccoli (broccoli) are also eaten raw. So their "salad" is like a plate of rabbit feed, make it difficult for us to accept. Modern Chinese people also talk about nutrition and health, know vegetables upon heating, vitamins, is destroyed, so we all for Mong Kok hot fries. It also bring down the content of vitamins, but not completely lost, but taste was more than delicious rabbit feed. Nutrition and taste of Chinese modern
gastronomy to the pursuit of optimal balance under balance, of course, is also a "happy medium"。
Standard and optional(规范与随意)
Westerners in the diet emphasize science and nutrition, has acted strictly in accordance with the standard of science of the whole process of cooking, steak tastes the same from New York to San Francisco, steak dishes are only a limited number of tomato, potato, lettuce. In addition, standardized amount of cooking requires sauce added accurate to the gram, cooking time is accurate to seconds. In addition in 1995 of the first issue of the digest was published overseas the eating in the Netherlands were also described in the article "Netherlands people's kitchens equipped with scales, liquid measuring cups, timers, scales, Spice rack size line up neatly on a standard bottle dozens of kinds of seasonings, like a chemical laboratory. ”
Chinese cooking and very different, not only the major cuisine has its own flavor and characteristics, is of the same cuisine with a menu, side dishes and a variety of spices used in the match, also according to the chef's personal characteristics are different. Is the same Chef a menu, despite its own generating method, but may vary according to different seasons, different, eat different identity, to be adjusted (such as rich in winter, light in the summer, the wedding to be colorful, funeral banquet taboos red Qiong Han to kill oil-greedy should be concentrated and thick sauce, gormandizer dine together should be fresh and unique). Also Cook your own tele mood changes, some kind of impromptu playing. Therefore, Chinese cooking is not only not emphasizing the second and g
standardization, but also places particular emphasis on randomness.
On the randomness of the food processing, first causing the Chinese recipes to space again and expanding: variety of raw materials, cutting skill variety, variety of spices, cooking methods and diverse and cross combination, a raw material can be made of several dozen types of dozens of kinds of dishes. For example, most commonly used raw
chicken, Cantonese cuisine chef hands, making dozens of road as well as hundreds of dish-LEGO. Other raw materials as well. And in is rich in a species raw materials of local, often can to this a raw materials made into table of Banquet, as Beijing of "full duck I", Yanbian of "full dog I", Guangdong of "full fish I", and "full Ho I", Changsha Li He WINS of "full cattle I", Beijing some halal restaurant of "full sheep I" and Beijing sand pot home of "full pig I", misery are reflected has China cooking of arbitrary derived out feast of dish type.
Machinery and interest(机械性与趣味性 )
Due to the standardization of Western dishes make, Cook became a mechanical work. Old KFC fried chicken recipe ingredients, and oil temperature, time of fried chicken, also must act strictly according to the specifications, and Chef's work becomes an extremely monotonous mechanical work, he is like an automated assembly line worker, or even by a robot that took its time. In addition, Westerners eat first aimed at
nutrition, as long as enough nutrition standards, others to be tolerant, thus today potatoes, steak, steak potatoes tomorrow, chefs in Diners in a very tolerant attitude of non-critical, repeated the day of mechanical work, of course, no fun at all.
In China, the cooking is an art, as female writer San Mao hotel in the desert article says: "I have always been on the family are hated, but the cooked dish is very interested, some onion, a few slices of meat,
scrambled out of a dish, I very much appreciate the art. "Cooking is an art, it is, like the other arts, reflects the rigor and the unity of off the cuff, so cooking has a very strong interest in China, even with certain games, attracted to food for the life of the Chinese people.
Fun cooking is traditional in China, drawing of Han dynasty
unearthed in the kitchen, would like an acrobatic troupe performed scenes. In the beauty of Du Fu's "machete fenlun" poetry, mention of this on the back of a knife a lot of bells, and is said to be the former chef of the Tang dynasty can be used while cutting the tinkle of music is played. Unfortunately, this tool and surgeon's skills have been lost.
Mongolian hot pot, and with similar spicy hot pot, Guangdong, Sichuan seafood hot pot is widely loved, in the fresh and hot, eat at ease,
and it moved to the main part of the cooking table, for people to
experience the fun of cooking over dinner. Also Xian with mutton soup, steamed bun of the very hard, to guests yourself broke to pieces, seems to eat than Cook chopped up and enjoy. Beijing-style "barbecue season" barbecue was disappointing, an exclamation he ' ll never be, is that it also changed it yourself "gentleman's not his fists". This modified, modified to have lost all interest in Sth., eating is not hard, it is not know how fun cooking in China, arbitrary orders out of the tragedy of such a pursuit of joy of cooking, Chef is definitely not in the West. Western motto is "work while you work, game game", it appears from the dichotomy of their mechanism, games are in dereliction of duty, game is to lose money on the sale, are "I don't." Advocates for a holistic and Chinese, "working in the game, a game in which", is the world.
Cooking Chinese have always regarded as a lot of fun, and to engage in this work to enrich the lives of positive performance. Youdaoshi "there is paradise, there are kitchen" cooking in China, just as with music, dance, poetry, painting, with improving the life realm of great significance.
So, in the final analysis is the difference between the perceptual and the rational. However, the difference seems to be changed with the development of science of fuzzy. More and more Chinese people to not only pay attention to color, smell and taste of the food, and pay more attention to the health and nutrition. Particularly experienced after SARS.

在欧洲,从历史开始的时候,就蔓延着吸血鬼的传说。成千上万的人们相信这一传说并在黑暗里因为这个传说而颤抖。吸血鬼是一个古老而神秘的种族。理论上来讲,所谓吸血鬼,可以理解成为某种程度上的死尸。他们没有心跳和脉搏,也没有呼吸,没有体温,而且永生不老。同时,他们有自己的思想,会思考,会交谈,也会四处走动,甚至还会受伤和死亡。血族的职位各个党派和氏族都有所不同。但他们的领导阶级大致是相同的,以领主为首,下设元老员,有13位长老共同议事,其下还有数量不定的议员。领主和长老必须有亲王等级,长老是选举产生,议院是领主和3位长老共同认定的。而领主一般是在前任领主退位后指定继承人或是领主决斗的胜利者担任。由于血族的寿命为无限,而领主的工作有很复杂,一位领主在一定时间的任期后通常都会选择退位。但只要领主仍旧有能力并且自愿承担这个责任,他们可以无限期任职。退位的领主通常会担任一段时间的长老职务,但没有人能强迫他们为本氏族工作,也就是说,退位的领主具有很高的自由性。另外,一个氏族内,主族或副族的领主也可以担任其它副族的长老,而亲王阶级的血族可以担任主族或其他副族的议员,这是为了让他们彼此制约。除了领导体系,血族中还有其他的职位。例如制裁者、审判者、执行者、记述者等。1975年第三届世界异能者联合会议中,人类与血族签定了《共存公约》,由此又产生了与人类打交道的联系者,寻找血源或herd的调节者。(看样子血族真是个文雅的种族……连职位都非得弄得文诌诌的)多利用百度百科

英语文学是英语专业学生的一门重要的课程,对于英语学生的自身能力的提升具有十分重要的意义。下面是我为大家整理的英语文学方向毕业论文,供大家参考。
摘要:教师在教学中从多方面注重学生英语文学素养的培养,同时大学生也要积极进行英语文学素养的培养,不断提升自身的英语文学素养,促进自身的全面发展。
关键词:英语文学;大学生
一、大学生英语文学素养培养的现状
大学生的英语文学素养的培养非常重要,然而在大学的英语教学中教师对于学生文学素养的重视不够,并且学生自身没有较强的意识注重文学素养的培养。大学的英语教学,尤其是非英语专业的英语教学,主要是大学英语课程的教学,在教学中对于学生的文学素养培养没有足够的重视。第一,大学英语的教学主要以学生语言技巧为主,以英语词汇、知识点、语法等为主要讲授内容,教师很少讲授到英美文学的知识,也较少布置有关文学阅读的任务,对于大学生的英语文学素养培养非常不利。第二,英语四级、六级考试,作为国家级考试对于学生的学习要求也主要为英语语言自身的应用,但是对于英语文学方面没有很多的要求,影响着全国大学生的英语学习。从学生角度来说,大学生尤其是非英语专业的学生对于英语兴趣不高,很少学生去阅读英语文学的相关资料,或者有兴趣但是英语能力不足,慢慢失去了对于英语文学的喜爱
二、大学生英语文学素养培养的策略
针对大学生英语文学素养的现状,我们必须注重大学生英语文学素养的培养,从多方面提高大学生的英语文学素养,促进大学生的全面发展。
第一,英语课堂上教师注意培养学生对于英语文学的兴趣。大学的英语课,多是大学英语的课程,很多非英语专业学生英语基础较差,对英语不感兴趣,对于英语文学的兴趣就更小。为了提高大学生的英语文学素养,在英语课堂上教师可以注意学生文学的兴趣培养。在讲授教学内容时,继续增强学生对英语语言的喜爱,恰当地为学生介绍文学作品,联系更多的文学信息,将教学内容与英美的文学知识结合在一起,引起学生对英语文学的兴趣。
第二,教学内容多介绍英语文学的相关知识,带领学生学会文学赏析、评论等。大学英语教学的主要内容都是大学英语课程的内容,教师讲授教学内容时比较偏重与英语语言的应用,对于文学作品的分析、文学作品的赏析进行地很少。为了培养学生的英语文学素养,教师可以讲课时注意突出与教学内容相关的文学知识,在为学生讲解知识点的同时带领学生去学习如何赏析文学作品,对于文学作品进行分析评论,为学生推荐适合的文学作品,让学生从文学作品中获得更多的知识,也获得更多的关于世界、人生的思考。
第三,课上教师采取灵活多样的教学方法来进行英语文学的熏陶。在英语教学过程中,教师采取丰富多彩的教学方式和手段来引导学生对英语文学的兴趣,提升学生对文学的敏感度,促进学生的文学积累。一方面,教师可以将文学学习与电影结合起来。很多的文学作品,尤其是经典的文学作品都被后人拍成电影或者电视,而电影、电视是学生容易接受的方式,而且对于学生来说更具吸引力,在电影中学生对于文学作品有所了解,对于英语语言的应用也更清晰。另一方面,教师应该充分利用网络资源,引导学生接触更多的英语文学知识和作品。在当今时代,接触文学不仅靠书籍,还可以更好地利用网络资源。在信息飞速的时代,教师可以积极引导学生利用网络进行文学阅读和文学思考。
第四,布置课下文学的延伸任务,定期检验学生的完成情况。在英语教学过程中,教师要布置恰当的文学阅读任务和文学赏析作业。根据教学内容,向学生推荐英语文学作品,要求学生完成文学作品的相关任务,鼓励学生在进行文学阅读和赏析的任务过程中,进行思考分析,获得更多的知识和思考。对于布置的文学任务,可以定期进行检查,通过写阅读反思、影评等来检验学生对于文学作业的完成情况。
第五,学生自身要转变观念,变被动培养为主动提高。大学生为了就业,更多的人都选择学习实用性强的课程,对于短期内实用效果较小的文学学习却很忽略。要提高大学生的英语文学素养,学生首先要从思想上转变以前的观念,意识到文学学习和提高文学素养对于自身发展的重要性,重视自身英语文学素养的培养。其次在课堂上和课下主动进行文学作品的阅读和学习,配合教师的文学学习的教学,积极完成教师布置的文学相关作业将文学素养的培养当成一项长期的活动。教师在教学中从多方面注重学生英语文学素养的培养,同时大学生也要积极进行英语文学素养的培养,不断提升自身的英语文学素养,促进自身的全面发展。

摘要:总之,动词汉译英的过程就是由“动态”向“静态”转化、由展开型句法结构向浓缩型句法结构转化的过程,也体现了由汉民族思维方式向英民族思维方式转化的过程。
关键词:英语文学;研究生
一、汉语的“动态”与英语的“静态”
动词是表示人或事物动作、行为、发展、变化的词,是最复杂、最活跃的一种词类。英、汉两种语言对动词的概括意义是一样的,但动词的数量及使用频率与方式却并不一样。从总体修辞效果来看,英语呈“静态”,汉语呈“动态”,亦即,英语有一种少用(谓语)动词而用其他手段;而汉语则有一种多用动词的固有习惯。英语每个句子中只能使用一个限定式动词(并列谓语除外);而汉语中却存在着“连动式”和“兼语式”,如“他到了火车站发现火车已经开走了”,及紧缩句,如“我们下雨也去”。英语的限定动词只能做谓语,而汉语中的动词(包括动宾词组、主谓词组等)不仅做谓语,也可做主语,如“理论联系实际是我们党的优良传统”,宾语,如“鲁迅主张打落水狗”,定语,如“讨论的问题很重要”,状语,如“一定要批判地继承我国的文学艺术遗产”和补语,如“小溪旁那些女人们听得笑起来了”。汉语是一种离不开动词的语言,除了部分句子(即名词谓语句如“今天星期六”和形容词谓语句如“他这几天心情很好”)以外,大量的句子都不止使用一个动词,有的句子几乎全句都是动词,如“打得赢就打,打不赢就走,不怕没办法”。汉语的动词还可以重叠和组合构成新的动词,如“走走”、“商量商量”、“看一看”、“打打闹闹”,而英语的动词却不能。另外汉语中为数不多的介词,也大都是从古代汉语动词演变而来的,有些还具备动词的一般特点,称为“半动词”,“副动词”,“汉语中的绝大多数的‘介词’,应该划归动词的范畴,只是入句时,表现了相当于英语介词的作用”,如“他在家”中的“在”为动词,而“他在家看书”中的“在”则为介词。
二、“动态”与“静态”的思维根源
汉语“动态”与英语“静态”之差异,其深层原因在于汉、英民族思维方式的差异:即汉民族重形象思维、重悟性,而西方人重抽象思维、重理性。汉文化的重要特征之一是“尚象”,汉民族习惯于“观物取像”,即取万物之象,加工成为象征意义的符号来反映、认识客观事物的规律,形成了偏重形象,即偏重具体的思维方式;西方文化的重要特征之一是“尚思”,注重逻辑与形式论证,形成了以概念、判断和推理为思维形式,偏重抽象的思维方式。这种思维形式的不同在语言上表现为:英语语言常常使用大量的涵义概括、指称笼统的抽象名词来表达复杂的理性概念,因而显得“虚”和“静”;而汉语则习惯于形象语言,用形象的方法来表达抽象的事物,动词的形象性即满足了中文的需求,由于大量地使用动词,汉语言因而显得“实”和“动”。另外,汉民族相比于西方人更倾向于注重悟性,汉语由意念贯通,行文造句不需要严格的语法规则来规范,词的用法也非常灵活,动词的使用即非常灵活。汉语的动词由于没有形态变化的约束,使用起来十分自由、灵活,可以充当句子的各种成分,也可以连用形成连动式和兼语式,还可以重叠和组合构成新的动词,动词的大量使用使汉语的表达呈现“动态”的倾向。与之相反,西方人更注重理性,注重形式论证,在语言上表现为形态的外漏和形式上的完整,因此行文造句需要严格的语法规则来规范。英语句子有严谨的主谓结构,一个句子结构通常只使用一个谓语动词,大量本应该用动词表达的概念,只能用非谓语动词来表达,或借助于动词以外的词类,主要是由动词派生而来的名词,有时还要借助于介词、副词及由动词转化而来的形容词,这样便产生了动词的虚化和弱化,使得英语的表达呈现“静态”的倾向。
三、汉译英中动词的处理
鉴于学生动态英译文的问题,从“动态”与“静态”这一修辞差异入手来探讨汉译英中汉语动词(不包括判断动词和能愿动词)的处理,应是汉译英教学中的非常重要的一讲。
(一)单动词汉语句子中动词的处理
“英语的静态修辞的实质是名词优势和介词优势,而介词优势又是名词优势的必然结果。因为名词与名词之间要借助介词来联结”。英语倾向于用名词(词组)来表达汉语用动词所表达的概念,即动作、行为、状态等,尤其在科技、法律、政治等正式文体中更是如此。这不仅使英语句子简洁紧凑,也避免了将人牵涉进来,从而使语句意义更加含蓄、间接,符合英民族表达习惯,因而句子优美。因此,在有些情况下,汉语动词并不是译成英语动词,而是要遵循英语的这一修辞特点,进行必要的词性转换,即动词向名词和介词的转化(如a和b),有时也转化成副词和形容词(如c和d)等,使译文符合英语的句法规律,因而更加地道、更显文采。a.他很贪嘴。.这不符合我们党的政策.ThisisnotinkeepingwithourParty’.桌布铺上了吗?Istheclothon?d.他怀疑我的动机。Heissuspiciousofmyintentions.
(二)多动词汉语句子中动词的处理
汉语注重“动态”描写,一个句子中往往会涌现大量的动词,但并不会引起句子的臃肿和混乱.汉语的动词可以作句子的不同成分;一个句子中可以连用两个或更多的动词作谓语,有时一个句子中会集结异常大量的动词,按照各动作实际上的时间顺序或逻辑上的因果次序,将事件一一如实说出,甚至尽量省略关系词以达到动词集中、动词突出的效果。因此在将汉语句中充当主语、宾语、定语、状语、宾补的动词译成英语时,有的可以省译,有的要进行词性转换或译成非限定动词;在将汉语的连动式结构译成英文时,首先要确定一个主要动词,作为谓语动词,与主语形成SV主干,构成全句中心,其他动词有的可以省译,有的作为次要动词进行词性转换或译成非限定动词、独立主格结构,打破汉语的时间或事理顺序,运用英语所富有的各种关系词或关系手段,适当地将它们嫁接到句子的中心主干上,形成空间立体布局,使句子语义层次分明。当然,在将连动式结构译成英文时,若有两个或以上动词都该是英译文中的谓语动词,则应将其译成并列谓语。但译文谓语动词如果铺排过多,就会显得很累赘,语义层次很不分明,带有浓厚的汉语色彩,这时,应首先采取断句处理。
总之,动词汉译英的过程就是由“动态”向“静态”转化、由展开型句法结构向浓缩型句法结构转化的过程,也体现了由汉民族思维方式向英民族思维方式转化的过程。这个过程完成得好,译文就符合英语语言的规范,这个过程完成得不好,译文就会汉化,妨碍了原文内容的确切表达。我们的学生动辄用动词写英语句子,而且多是小短句或简单的复合句,带有浓厚的汉语气息,主要是受汉语“动态”修辞的影响。因此在汉译英教学中,我们一定要引导学生用英语的“静态”修辞进行思维,克服汉语“动态”修辞的影响,为汉译英实践打下良好的基础。

一、引言
在中国,自古就有“书读百遍,其义自见”的古训。这句话的含义是在语言学习中,只要不断地进行阅读,在不知不觉中就会了解其中的含义。在英语学习中这个方法其实要一分为二地看待,一方面,通过不断诵读,确实能够有效地稳固学生对于单词、句子结构、整体语感的掌握,但是另一方面,由于英语并不是中国学生的母语,就是阅读再多遍,也不可能达到“其义自见”的程度。这种情况下,英美文学作品的重要性就凸显出来了。我们知道,文学作品是语言文字的集大成者,它是一项非常复杂的但是涵盖面极广的语言的精炼和巧妙的运用。文学作品对于语言文字的驾驭和使用只会高出一般语言文字的使用要求而不会比这个要求更低,那么在英语教学中,是不是可以引入英美文学这一元素,以培养学生英美文学素养这一教学目标来全面提升学生的英语成绩呢?答案是肯定的,经过教学实践,教师们发现,将大量的英美文学作品引入教学过程中,将培养学生英美文学素养作为重要教学目标并以此为基础进行教学活动的确能够极大提升学生的英语成绩,并且学生的英语驾驭能力也有了不小的提升,达到了兼具考试和实用两个层次的价值,对学生的全面成长是极为有利的。
二、当前大学英语教学中培养学生英美文学素养的必要性和可行性分析
1、培养学生英美文学素养能够让学生在潜移默化中更加深刻了解西方文化
文化是语言的基础,文化这一看不见摸不着的事物决定着语言的所有要素。任何一种语言都带有鲜明的地域特色,都是一个国家或者地区文明的精炼。同时语言又是文化的重要组成部分,甚至我们可以毫不夸张地说,对于一种语言的学习,其实就是对于该国家或者地区文化的学习。对于母语的学习和本国文化的学习存在着很大的难度,因为即便是再小的国家,也最少有数百年的历史,这数百年的历史积淀是极为深厚的,想要在短短十数年中精通是绝不可能的。这也就是中国学生每个人的语文成绩都不会太差,但是未必每个人的成绩都会很好的原因所在。本国语言的学习尚且如此,更遑论拒自己国家千里万里的,文化背景和历史完全不同的,文化差异特别巨大的国家的语言的学习。而每一个国家都有具备极强文字驾驭能力的人,他们的文学作品是对整个国家和民族语言的精炼与巧妙组合,不仅对语言文字的解析十分有帮助,还直接体现了本国的文化和社会背景。文化这种元素是无法进行教育的,只能自己去感悟,通过对大学生英美文学素养的培养,就能够提升学生对于英美文化的敏感程度。
2、有效提升学生综合英语能力
中国当前高校英语教育的主要要点就是听、说、读、写四个方面,但是其实我们从这几点就可以看出这个层次是非常低的。举例来说,对于非文学专业的语文教学来说,听和说不必考核,因为这是每一个中国人进行交流的前提,但是对于语文的考察却不会仅仅停留在能读懂和能写出两个层次,语文的考核会考核学生对于古文、现代文深刻的理解,要体会隐藏在纸面上的语言背后深层次的思想感情和文化元素。但是对于英语的考核就没有这么深入。当然,对母语的考核和对外语的考核肯定是要有所区别的,但是当前的英语教学是为了培养更多能够适应国际化的优秀人才,是要让这些学生将来能够在国际上与英语母语的人流畅沟通的,所以要求必须要提高。但是又因为英语不是中国人的母语,所以必须采取一些必要的手段来提升中国学生的英语能力,大量阅读英美文学作品并且体会其中的感情和文化就是不错的方法。
3、能够有效提升学生的审美能力,培养学生正确的价值观念
早在一千多年前的唐朝就有关于“兼听”和“偏听”的讨论。在语言的学习中亦是如此。尽管对于中国学生来说,坚定不移地信仰马克思主义才是正确的道路,但是如果能够对全世界范围内各种意识形态都有一种较为深刻的认识,会让学生的这种信仰更加坚定。并且刨除东西方文化差异和价值观念的碰撞这些直接的元素来考虑的话,任何一个国家都是会讴歌真善美、批判假恶丑的,在情感的表达上,这种人文的思潮是任何国家都一致的。并且当前的时代是全球一体化的时代,学生如果全面了解世界范围内的文化,对其审美能力和价值观念的培养是有很大的好处的。文学作品在提升审美和价值观念方面起到的作用是其他任何事物都无法比拟的,其中的人文性也是其他任何活动都望尘莫及的。
三、大学英语教学中培养学生英美文学素养的现实路径解析
1、培养学生英美文学素养亟待解决的问题探讨
要想全面提升学生的英美文学素养,绝不仅仅是多看基本英美文学名著就能达到目的的,还需要进行全面的准备和改革。第一,要进行教育体制上的必要革新。教育改革在我国已经持续了很多年了,但是似乎整个教育体制变动较大的只是基础教育,高等教育的改革力度似乎并不大。这其实是不科学的,因为高等教育承担着直接为社会输出人才的重要任务,其改革的成效将直接关乎整个教育改革的成败。那么具体到培养学生英美文学素养这一目标上,自然不可以免地要谈到应试教育和素质教育的天平倾斜。想要提升学生的英美文学素养,必然要做的是加大学生对于英美文学的阅读量。并且为了由于英语这门学科并不会吸引大多数的学生,所以有必要用相对的考核对敦促学生进行这方面的努力。当然,本身这种模式都是要打破应试教育的桎梏,考核自然也不能够仅仅是考试。可以适当举办一些活动和比赛,既增加趣味性,又提升学生的积极性,还能够让学生在实践中加深对于英美文学素养的理解,一举多得。第二,培养一支高水平的师资队伍就很有必要了。既然要求学生的英美文学素养有一定的提升,那么相应的,教师的英美文学素养必须也有所保障,并且教师在教学思想和观念上也应当有相应的提升。也就是说,高水平的师资队伍具体体现在两个方面,一是教师应当转变思想,正确认识到英美文学在英语教学中的重要作用,将英美文学在高等教育英语教学中的重要作用进行深刻的领会,并且主动地在自己的教学活动中进行必要的创新。教师在这种情况下的要求比传统的英语教师要高得多。在这种形势下,大学的英语教师必须具备扎实牢固的英语基础知识、对西方文化较为深刻的了解、对学生的英语水平有较好的整体把握、对世界各国的一些文化知识都有涉猎。这样能力全面的教师才能够真正担负起培养学生优秀的英美文学素养。第三,当前的英语教材亟需改编。英美文学素养的培养仅凭课上的部分讲解和课下的学生自觉是不能完全发挥其作用的,要做到将英美文学素养作为评价高校学生英语整体水平的重要要素之一,就需要对现有的英语教材进行改编。当前的英语教材是中国的相关专家和一些国外的相关专家联合编写的,这些教材的确更适合中国学生学习,但是却在文学性上有些许的不足之处。未来英语教材应当在保有现有的模式下,加入大篇幅的英美文学作品,使学生学习的不再是专门为他们设置的英语教材,而是原汁原味的英语作品,这样对培养他们真正的语感和适应未来的国际化社会是更加有利的。当然,英美文学作品加入教材中对于学生理解来说是产生了一些困难的,因为文学作品中往往存在大量俚语、修辞和非常规的英语用法,不过对于适应了这些困难以后的英美文学作品赏析就会变得更加简单。
2、培养学生英美文学素养的现实路径
在解决了基本的教育体制、教材、教师三方面的前提条件以后,就完全可以以学生为中心,针对学生的需求来进行文学素养的培养了。第一,要设置多元化的师生互动活动,改变传统的课堂教育模式。英美文学素养的培养不是靠学生读写和教师讲解就能够完全实现的,在教学实践中可以首先指引学生进行自主学习,在教师讲解之前自己先通读设定的篇章,找出自己完全无法理解的地方,用师生交流或者同学间的交流形式来解决这些问题;在课堂上多采取一些活动,例如文学作品的演绎、文学作品读后感的诵读等等,加深学生对文学作品的熟悉和敏感,也能够极大提升学生的积极性;在课外要进行规模更大、范围更广的活动,组织相关的社团组织,定期举办活动等等。第二,多利用当前的计算机技术和网络技术。当前的时代是计算机的时代和网络的时代,教师应当鼓励学生多从网络中获取英美文学作品的相关资讯,可以引导学生自主地了解作者的背景、文学作品的整体逻辑和脉络等等,并且借助于多媒体的设备,用各种声光影结合的形式改变以往仅仅给学生视觉刺激的教师模式。其实这种让学生通过多媒体设备和网络的教学方式,不仅能够在有限的时间内获取更多的文学作品的信息,还能够真正地将传统英语教学中的被动地“教”为主体向现在的主动地“学”而转变,培养学生的文学素养就变得更有成效。第三,要将理论与实践相结合,多鼓励学生说和写。每一个人阅读文学作品以后,或多或少地心中一定会有感悟,教师应当鼓励和引导学生将这种感受说出来或者写出来,让学生将自己心中模糊的感受在说和写的过程中不断清晰和深化,将这些在不断阅读中积攒的一点一滴逐渐融合成为学生的文学素养,使学生的英语学习效率和成果比传统的模式更上一层楼。
四、结语
中西方文化存在差异,这对培养学生英美文学素养来说有利也有弊,有利的一点是学生一旦对西方文化有一定程度的了解,那么对于英美文学素养的提升来说是非常明显的,不利的地方则是学生需要认知的事情太多、太繁琐了。但是其实能够正视和有效利用中西方文化差异的学生,才是未来社会需要的人才。教育问题永远是一个国家最为重视的问题之一,因为它直接关乎到一个国家和民族的未来。在我国的教育体系中,高等教育又承担着直接向社会输出人才的重要作用。在高等教育中,英语是各个专业都必须学习的必修课,但是教学和学习实效是非常差的。近些年来,相关的专家和学者不断地研究大学英语的创新出路,整个大学英语的教学模式都需要进行较大的变动。而在当前形势下,引入英美文学教学模式,培养学生英美文学素养成为了一项理论和实践都取得不小成果的手段。当然,这种模式还处在初级阶段,各项工作还不够完善,但是相信随着时代的发展和教育改革的不断深入,英美文学素养的培养必将成为全面提升学生英语能力的重要手段,为国家培养出更多优秀的适应国际化趋势的人才。
普通高校英美文学是英语专业主干课程之一,该课设置的目的不仅在于加强学生语言基本功训练,更是提高学生素质和培育人文精神的有效途径。《高等学校英语专业教学大纲》指出:“文学课程的目的在于培养学生阅读、欣赏、理解英语文学原著的能力,掌握文学批评的基本知识和方法。通过阅读和分析英美文学作品,促进学生语言基本功和人文素质的提高,增强学生对西方文学及文化的了解。”英美文学课在外语专业曾经备受青睐。然而,在“重技能,轻人文”的大潮冲击下,功利主义泛滥,实用型的课程如口语、听力、翻译课等成了重要的专业课程。英美文学课则显得可有可无,逐渐被边缘化。目前,很多高等院校在制定人才培养方案时,大大压缩英美文学课程。根据调查,河南省大部分本科英语专业的英美文学课时仅为72个学时,其中,英国文学36个学时,美国文学36个学时。每周两个课时的文学课,远远达不到预期的教学效果。
一、普通高校英语专业英美文学课程存在的问题
(一)课程设置概念不准确,内容不完整
英美文学史和文学作品选读是作为两门课程还是一门课的界定没有统一的标准。目前,大多数高校的外语学院都是把英美文学史和英美文学作品选读两门本应分开的课程合为一体,称为英美文学。还有些学校没有开设“英美文学史”这门课,只在学生进入大学三年级的时候分别开设一学期的英国文学和美国文学。学生对整个英美文学史没有系统和宏观的把握,就直接研读作品,使学生只掌握少数具体的作家作品,对各个文学流派、文学传承以及与时代的联系缺乏整体掌握。
(二)课时安排偏少,边缘化趋势突出
为迎合重商主义的社会风气,全国外语院系刮起了一股砍削文学课的飓风。更改教学大纲,削减文学课程,并不顾自己的实际,硬性增设经贸、金融等课程。英美文学课从一二十人小班的、讨论式的教学变成了一两百人的大班讲授式,从两个学年的课程“浓缩”到一个学年、甚至一个学期的课程。有的外语院系干脆把英美文学课定为选修课,英美文学课遭遇严重的“边缘化”。
(三)开设时间不合理,教学内容脱离学生实际
很多学生尽管是英语专业,但在大学一二年级很少接触英美文学作品,尤其是经典作品。文学功底差,到了大三突然接触深奥的文学作品,如经典剧作《浮士德》、《麦克白》等,感到艰涩难懂,因而没有学习兴趣,教学效果很差。实际上,文学课程担负着提高学生人文素质的重任,我们除了要重视专业教育外,也要在大学一二年级就加强学生在文学方面的教育,提高学生的外语综合素质。而学习外国文学是提高综合素质有效而重要的一环。
高校英语专业英美文学课程与教学的现状不利于英语专业学生文学素养的养成,大大降低了英语专业的教学质量。这种状况得不到改变,大学英语专业培养的将只是翻译工具,而不是全面发展的英语专业人才。作为高校英语专业英美文学课教师,应该以提高英语专业教学质量为己任,探索教学改革的途径,走出英美文学课程困境,充分发挥英美文学的人文价值。
二、英美文学课程改革措施
(一)调整英美文学课的教学内容
许多年来,英美文学的教材一直沿用“文学史+选读”的固定而陈旧的模式,教材按照历史顺序,分别列出各种各样的文学史知识,如所有作家的时代背景、生卒年月、作品概况介绍等,这些内容占了大部分的篇幅。其实,将宝贵的教材篇幅用来介绍背景知识是不科学的,这可能会让学生忽略文学作品本身。文学作品应以文学鉴赏为基础,并提升文学批评鉴赏能力和创新思维能力。我们的建议是在作品之前设置一些预习作业与问题,让学生利用现代化的网络和多媒体设备查找和总结作家介绍和作品背景,将宝贵的篇幅留给文学作品本身。作家和文学作品的遴选也是教材改革需要重点考虑的方面。传统的英美文学教材往往是厚古薄今,尤其是早期的经典著作对古英语涉猎过多,如学生在文学课的开始就遭遇内容晦涩难懂的古英语诗歌《贝奥武夫》,难以把握作品的精髓与内涵,这样很容易挫伤学生的学习积极性。由于英美文学时间跨度大、内容非常广泛,名家名作不胜枚举,教材的设置和作家的取舍一定要考虑到学生的接受程度进行宏观把握下的重点筛选,比如在讲美国文学中的当代戏剧时,应将重点集中于美国20世纪最伟大的三大戏剧家尤金•奥尼尔、阿瑟•米勒和田纳西•威廉斯,并将他们的写作风格、历史传承进行对比研究,对其代表作如尤金•奥尼尔的《榆树下的欲望》、阿瑟•米勒的《推销员之死》、田纳西•威廉斯的《玻璃动物园》进行对比阅读分析,找出现代人的孤独、欲望和工业社会对人性的摧残等剧作家想要揭示的共同主题。这种方式有利于学生对不同文学时期的科学把握,也有助于增强学习的趣味性和降低学习难度。
(二)改革英美文学课的教学模式
由传统的英美文学教材衍生出教师一言堂的“填鸭式”教学模式,英美文学教师在课堂上照本宣科,学生则疲于对这些知识死记硬背,根本谈不上自己对某一具体作品的见解和思考,更不用说对文学经典的鉴赏与文学情趣的提升。由于教材死板,授课方式墨守成规,英美文学课变成了精读课+历史课,学生学到的只是一些具体的语言知识点,而没有提升对文学文本的整体分析能力和感悟能力。英美文学教师可以尝试设计研究性课堂和实践教学模式。在英美文学课开始时,由教师推荐一些有关英美文学与文化的研究课题给学生进行研究,如维多利亚时代文学研究、美国梦文学研究、美国现代戏剧研究等。全班学生分成若干组,承担不同的课题,并在课堂上用幻灯片等方式陈述研究结果。另外,为了提高学生对英美文学作品的学习兴趣可以采取多渠道的实践教学活动,如举办英文诗歌朗诵比赛、英语戏剧表演、适时组织收看英文原版电影等。
(三)采用多媒体及计算机网络辅助教学手段
英美文学远离我们熟悉的母语环境和语言习惯,且跨越时代久远,陈旧、落后的“书+黑板+粉笔”的传统教学模式难以创设生动活泼的课堂教学情景,难以引起学生浓厚的学习兴趣。采用多媒体和计算机网络辅助课堂教学等现代化的教学手段有利于改革英美文学教学效果。目前多数高校普遍存在多媒体设施不足和设施陈旧等问题,高校应加强在这方面的投入,为多媒体及计算机网络辅助课堂教学模式的探索和推广铺平道路。
首先,借助多媒体和网络的课堂教学模式可以让抽象、晦涩的文学作品通过视频、音频等材料更生动、直接和立体地呈现在学生眼前耳边,可以提高学生的学习兴趣,活跃课堂气氛,从而改善英美文学课堂上沉闷、单调、枯燥的教师一言堂的顽疾,充分调动学生的学习积极性,开发学生的创造性思维,从而提升学生的学习效果。其次,借助多媒体和网络技术的教学模式,能更大限度地克服授课时间与授课场所的限制,有助于将学生的自主学习向课外有效延伸,实现学生的个性化自主学习与课堂教学的有效衔接。
多媒体和网络辅助教学形式下教师的角色发生了很大变化,对授课教师提出了更高的要求。教师必须深刻钻研材料,把握教学重点和难点,制定出明确的课堂教学目标,设计出为之服务的方案,确定有效传递教学信息的媒体类型和使用技巧,使媒体发挥更大的作用。授课教师要转变教学理念和方法,懂得设计以学生为主体的教学活动。教师应由原来的“以教为主”转变为“以学为主”,并通过培训等方式快速掌握现代化的教学方法,有效配合传统的教学方法,实现学生语言综合技能的提高。
