and,disorientation that one experiences,when faced with a large number,of new and unfamiliar people and,situations.,(from,College English,2023,14th,10),当人们去到一种与自己原来旳文化迥异旳地方时,绝大多,数人都会经历一种心理上旳困惑,这就是,文化冲击,。,Robert Kohls,(,Survival Kit for Overseas Living),It means strong feelings of discomfort,fear,or anxiety,which people may have when they enter another culture.,Hospitality,Hospitality,means the,cordial and generous reception of or,disposition toward guests.,对客人旳赤诚慷慨旳接待或安排。,Two different responses to different ways of hospitality:,An English guest,:,Each time a new dish arrived,his parents would lean,over and load my plate with tasty morsels.As they had taken all the trouble to,cook it I just had to polish it off.As soon as my plate was empty they would,put more on.Of course,I felt duty-bound to bear that too.,A Chinese guest,:,Can you imagine how many dishes I had?One one a,stew with meat and vegetables.The meat was over done and too hard to eat;,green vegetables were no longer green.They never put food on your plate but,just ask you to help yourself.If you,as a guest,are shy or modest,waiting for,the food to be put on your plate,you will remain half-starved.,Hospitality,Whats the problem?,The Chinese student felt disappointed,at British hospitality because she used,the Chinese way of showing hospitality to judge the British one.,If the story taking place in China,the westerner couldnt imagine,that there should be sixteen dishes prepared for her.When she ate,from the eight cold dishes,she couldnt eat anymore.It is,because a Western meal normally severs one main course plus a,starter and sweets or desserts.The fact is that,different people in,the world show their different hospitality in different ways.,Politeness,Politeness,refers to,the consideration for others,tact,and observance of,accepted social usage.,礼貌,指旳是为别人着想、老到、遵守被接受旳社会规范。,Politeness,Some Chinese Students Views on Western Politeness:,Foreigners never pretend to be modest.They just tell others what,they think.If a Chinese person is faced with the same situation,maybe he or she would say,“Im sorry.The restaurant is a little,bit small and the dishes are just so-so,but I hope youll enjoy,yourself.”,When guests are to leave,the foreign hosts dont accompany,guests to the gate upon leaving-taking.This happens because the,foreigners are simply following their own cultural customs.If a,Chinese host does like this,he will be considered a person with,bad manners or no training and education.,Therefore,there is a deep separation between,Chinese conventions and foreigners.,Privacy,Privacy,could be understood as the,right of an individual to self-,determination as to the degree to,which the individual is willing to,share with others information about,himself.,个人自己决定愿在何种程度上与他,人共享有关其个人旳信息旳权利。,Privacy,Some Chinese Students Views on Western privacy:,The westerners are not willing to let others know their income,age,marriage,and other privacy,especially to strangers.,But as a,Chinese student,even if we know their culture,I cant help doing,things as our culture lets us do.,The Western culture emphasizes,individual independence.Parents always want their children to,depend on themselves.The children are expected to depend on,themselves.It has its historical and cultural reasons,Chinese,parents love their children and will never let them in any danger.,They want to keep an intimate relationship.,Case studies,Case analysis:,Shao Bin,a Chinese student studying in Britain,was once invited,by her British classmate Brain to his house to cook a Chinese,meal.Her two Chinese friends were also invited.They busied,themselves in the kitchen,making dumpling while Brain did,something in the garden and his wife sat on the sofa reading.,Shao Bin felt a little upset for she thought that both the host and,the hostess should offer to help with the kitchen work.,The meal was great and everyone enjoyed themselves.The,couple kept complimenting them on their cooking skills and,asked for the recipe.But then after the meal,the couple just put,down their chopsticks and started minding their own business,leaving the Chinese guests to clear the table and do the dishes.,Shao Bin felt absolutely confused or even angry.She concluded,that.,Case studies,The Key to the Question:,Guests to a Chinese family will never be allowed to do any,housework.This is one of the ways the host and hostess show,their hospitality.Even if the guests offer to cook a dish,the host,or the hostess should stay around them and offer help whenever,can.It is even harder to imagine that they would let their guests,clear the table and do the dishes,though the guests should,always volunteer help.Shao Bins meal at a British family sets a,great contrast to her Chinese experience.This is why Shao Bin,got angry.What she should do is to avoid a hasty conclusion.,She should first observe the situation without judgment.And then,analyze the situation using what she knows about the differences,between Chinese and British culture.,Text 1 Making a Cultural Change,Language
