中美文化差异(CultureDifference)

Chinese culture and American culture are both hume n’s beautiful landscape. The two have many in common, and there are also differences,of course.1.Differences in values and morality（1）Personal sense of honor and modesty①Americans' personal sense of honorAmericans worship personal struggle, especially the achievements of someone, and they never hide their self-confidence, sense of honor and ecstasy after obtaining success. Americans’ advocating this personal sense of honor is connected with their personal struggle. In the Americans’ eyes, personal honor is based on the personal struggle. They will not be successful without personal tireless hard work, not to mention the honor. Therefore, after getting the honor, they will show off undisguisedly, which we Chinese people always think no humility.② Chinese people's modestyInstead, Chinese culture does not advocate showing off personal honor , but promoting modesty. However, Chinese-style self-modesty or self-denial often makes Americans greatly dissatisfied. In Americans’opinion, this humility is not only the denial of one own, but also denial the ability to appreciate of the one praise you. This Chinese-style modesty is not feasible in a competitive capitalism market.（2）Self-centered and selfless devotion① Americans self-centered performanceAmericans are self-centered consciousness and have a strong sense of independence, mainly reflected in:responsible for themselves, not accustomed to caring for others or helping others, they don’t asking others’business, as the initiative to help others or accept others’help is often a embarrassing thing in the United States.Because receiving help can only prove their incompetence,and the initiative to help others would be considered interference in other people’s private affairs .② Chinese people's selfless dedicationChina's Code of Conduct is “whether I am useful to society and others ." Personal values are reflected in the dedication out. Chinese culture respected a noble sentiment - selfless dedication. In China, helping others initiatively, giving them considerate care is a virtue.So Chinese people concerned about everything, including personal affairs, family affairs,national affairs, even the world affairs! And this would be regarded as "meddling" in the United States.（3）On individual freedom and solidarity①American individual freedomAmericans cherish individual freedom,like arbitrariness, come alone and go alone,do not want to be restricted.In fact, this has some ties with the United States national conditions.the United States always advocates democracy, promotes freedom and science.In the U.S., the spirit of individualism appeared very early. Harsh living environment developed the American independent personality.Therefore, this independent spirit from the early colonial period has continued ever since, becoming one of the spirits believed in by Americans.②China's unity and cooperationChinese cu lture emphasize on collectivism more, it advocates that individual interests should be subordinated to the collective interests, all members should go together through thick and thin consisitently. Confucius ever said: " Sacrifice our lives for justice ," which is a extreme example to reflects the thoughts of “Weight overall, light individual”.2.Differences in family education（1）Differences between Chinese and American educational tradition① American pays much attention to the practice of basic education and the form of the classroom instruction creationAmerican schools focus on heuristic teaching ,especially in personality development and self-expression, foster students’ operation ability, without emphasis on test scores. In the classroom, teachers guide students to think independently in an active atmosphere. Homework is few and very flexible whose main purpose is to exercise the abilities of students and to develop their thinking habits.② Chinese basic education stresses knowledge, classroom instruction focuses on indoctrinationIn Chinese schools, The schools adopt a unified teaching mode, unified learning content, unified examination and standard answers. This greatly stifle the students' innovative spirit. Under the examination-oriented education model, teachers and students entirely aimed at the examination. Teaching content entirely regards the "Outline" as the basis. In the teaching process, Chinese teachers irrigate blindly, and students take those old-fashioned knowledge by rote.（2）The purpose of the Sino-US Family Education① American families educational expectations are not highThe aim of education of American families is to raise their children to be a "social person" who is able to adapt to a variety of environments . The expectations of this purpose is not high, so the American parents can treat their children's education more easily. Children's positive ingredient in their personality can be exhumed maximally to achieve self-worth.② Chinese families educational expectations are very high, and always with strong utilitarianIn Chinese family, the purpose of education is to train their children to besuccessful , which means they will get a good career, have a great expectations, possess much money ,and their life can always be smooth sailing. For this reas on, Chinese parents are particularly concerned about the child's academic performance. The only requirement for children is to concentrate on learning quietly, ignoring the children’s other talents, limiting their creativity.3.Differences in social etiquette（1）Etiquette① Comparison of Sino-US Politeness WordsChinese people like to ask the name, age ,job ,hometown and so on of each other during their first meet. However , Americans hate people ask such questions like age and income, they think it’s private affair. Chinese people love greeting acquaintances like: Have you eaten ? Where to go? Work ah? And so on. In our view, this is a polite greetings, and if you do it to Americans, they will think you want to ask him to dinner, or interfere in their private affairs, and feel you disrespectful. Americans usually greet this way:”Hello! How do you do?”or”Nice to meet you! ”.② Comparison of attitude to accepting kind words of Sino-US Research shows that Chinese people don’t like to praise themselves. But Chinese-style self-modesty or self-denial often makes Americans greatly dissatisfied.For others’ praise, Chinese people usually express his humility with a humble words like "ashamed", "where", "not so good" and so on. And Americans are always very happy to answer “thank you” to show acceptance.③ Comparison of Sino-US ceremonial occasionsChinese people do not often say "thanks" to close friends and family members. They think you aloof if you do. But Americans use “thank you” all day, even among friends and family members.(2) Customs① Sino-US attitude to giftsChinese people tend to put a gift aside without much looking when he receives a gift, fearing that others say him greedy. Americans always open his gift and claim it’s good in front of the guests immediately.② Sino-US attitude to hospitalityChinese people is quite hospitable, persuading guests to eat dishes or drink wines over and over again on the table, which Americans find difficult to deal with. The American habit is: Please help yourself! when China sent to the guests, the host usually say:! “Be careful, good-bye, go well”. The Americans only say “Bye! See you later!”In short, the American culture is outgoing culture which is built on the rule , while Chinese culture is introverted culture which is built on the culture.。

1. 非语言表达在非语言表达上，中美文化也存在着差异。

美国人更加直接和开放地表达情感，通过面部表情、肢体动作和眼神交流来表达自己的意思。

中国和美国的文化差异中国和美国是世界上最具代表性的两个国家之一，其独特的文化背景和价值观念在全球范围内产生了深远的影响。

本文将探讨中美两国的文化差异，并从多个方面进行比较，以便更好地理解这两个国家的不同之处。

一、价值观念与礼仪中国和美国在价值观念和礼仪方面存在着明显的差异。

中国文化强调家庭和集体利益的重要性，尊重年长者和传统的价值观念。

一、中美文化差异现象 中国有着五千年的文化和历史的沉淀，而在地球另一端的美国是一个多民族的国家，却只有200多年的历史。

中美之间的文化差异是巨大的，它是两国人民交流和理解的障碍和鸿沟。

中美之间的文化差异是复杂而多面的。

(一)文化观念的差异 中国的传统文化是以儒家思想为核心，历来主张尊卑有别，长幼有序，也就是说，凡事都要遵循一定的规矩，并受到等级观念的制约。

例如，晚辈见到长辈为表尊重要主动打招呼；学生要尊敬老师。

而美国文化主要承袭了基督教中的新教思想，等级观念淡薄。

美国人更注重个人权益，追求人人平等，没有辈份间过多的礼节。

子女对父母、学生对教师都直呼其名，子女可以与父母争论问题．或提出自己个性主张。

在独具特色的中国文化中，人情占很重要的地位。

人情在中国社会中有其一定的社会结构性，人情与面子是相互联系的，讲情面的人会将心比心、以心换心地回报别人的情谊。

因此，在中国文化中．自我评价是在人与人之间的亲情及互相交往的情谊中建立和实现的。

中国人强调家族及阶级层次。

中华文化崇尚集体主义。

人们之间相互信赖，团结合作，当个人利益与集体利益相矛盾时，集体利益总被放在首位。

在衡量个人行为时，往往是以道德为准则，注重和谐、群体利益的维护，这与美国文化截然不同。

美国人崇尚个人自由，强调个人潜力的发挥，个人目标的实现及个人利益的追求，信奉法律至上。

在美国，人与人之间多为互利关系，表现出人情较为淡漠，但却十分重视个人利益和自由，个人自我意识较强。

中美方文化差异英语作文Cultural Differences Between China and America。

Cultural differences between China and America are apparent in many aspects of daily life, including customs, traditions, and social etiquette. These differences are deeply rooted in the history and development of each country and have a significant impact on the way people from each country interact with one another.One of the most noticeable differences between Chinese and American culture is the concept of individualism versus collectivism. In China, the emphasis is on the importance of the group and the collective good, while in America, the focus is on individual rights and personal achievement. This fundamental difference can be seen in the way people interact with one another, make decisions, and approach social and political issues.Another key difference between the two cultures is theconcept of time. In China, time is often viewed as cyclical and flexible, with an emphasis on relationships and the present moment. In contrast, Americans tend to view time as linear and structured, with a focus on efficiency and productivity. This can lead to misunderstandings and frustration when people from both cultures work together or communicate with one another.Additionally, the role of family and hierarchy is another area where Chinese and American culture diverge. In China, family ties are extremely important, and there is a strong emphasis on respecting elders and maintaining harmony within the family unit. In America, individuals are encouraged to be independent and make their own choices, often leading to a more relaxed approach to family dynamics and hierarchy.Furthermore, communication styles differ significantly between the two cultures. In China, indirect communication and nonverbal cues are often used to convey messages and maintain harmony in social interactions. In America, direct communication and assertiveness are valued, and people areencouraged to speak their minds and express their opinions openly.In terms of social etiquette, there are also notable differences between Chinese and American culture. For example, in China, it is customary to show deference and respect to others, especially those in positions of authority. In America, there is a greater emphasis on equality and individual rights, leading to a more casualand informal approach to social interactions.Despite these differences, it is important to recognize that both Chinese and American cultures have their own unique strengths and values. By understanding and appreciating these differences, people from both cultures can learn from one another and build stronger, more harmonious relationships.In conclusion, the cultural differences between China and America are vast and complex, impacting every aspect of daily life. By recognizing and respecting these differences,people from both cultures can work together to bridge the gap and build stronger, more inclusive communities.。

中美文化的差异对比中美文化的差异对比文化，广义指人类在社会实践过程中所获得的物质、精神的生产能力和创造的物质、精神财富的总和，狭义指精神生产能力和精神产品，包括一切社会意识形式：自然科学、技术科学、社会意识形态，有时又专指教育、科学、艺术等方面的知识与设施。

以下是小编为大家整理的中美文化的差异对比，欢迎阅读与收藏。

中美文化的差异对比1一、个人主义与集体主义之差异中国注重集体主义,在传统价值观念中反复强调集体利益高于个人利益,当集体利益与个人利益发生冲突时,个人利益应该服从集体利益,强调牺牲个人利益去保全集体利益。

而美国文化是一个强调个人主义的文化,认为个人的自由、利益不可侵犯,集体利益不该凌驾于个人利益之上,所以他们不会为了集体利益去牺牲个人利益。

二、等级观、伦理观之差异以儒家思想为核心的中国传统文化,历来主张尊卑有序。

中国几千年来都是等级分明的皇权制度,不管是对于国家的统治,还是家庭的管理上面都强调等级和尊卑。

所以在许大同,这个具有中国血统与文化的中国人身上,还是可以看出这种等级思想的影响,不管是对父亲的那种尊重还是对妻儿的管教上都能看出,同时认为“我管教自己的儿子天经地义”。

他父亲那句“你当面教子背面教妻,”更是这一文化的反映。

而美国文化中,他们没有严格的等级制度,认为人人生而平等。

在传统的儒家思想的影响下,中国文化从来都强调“忠”、“孝”、“礼”几字。

认为对别人要尊重,礼数相待,对父母,讲究孝顺。

在影片中,许大同为了父亲,隐瞒了事实,一再承认是自己对儿子进行的刮痧,并且一再制止妻子说出事实。

在美国人眼里,为了孝而说谎是不可理解的。

同时在解读中国经典英雄人物上面也能看出来,孙悟空偷吃仙桃、仙丹等行为在美国人眼里也不能理解,认为这不是道义,他们不能理解中国人所崇拜的道义与英雄行为。

三、当前利益与长远利益之差异中国是一个在乎长远利益的国家,要看长远利益,当前利益服从长远利益等思想已经深入到了中国的传统文化中。

文化差异的英语作文带翻译篇一：英语作文中美文化差异the differences and similarities between Chinese culture and American culturethe differences and similarities between Chinese culture and American culture Every country has their own culture, which can stand out their differences. There are lots of differences and similarities between Chinese culture and American culture.As for the difference, firstly, cultural differences on politeness between American and Chinese can be found in many aspects of daily communication, including addressing, greeting and parting, compliments, apologies, thanks and so on. For example, when people meet acquaintances or friends, people usually greet each other. In America, people often employ the following expressions to greet each other "Good morning/evening/afternoon. or "Fine day, isn't it? While in Chinese, we always say "have you eaten since and "where are you going? to show our consideration. Secondly, it's communication. A majority of Chinese people are accustomed starting the ritual interaction that goes with a welcoming cup of tea. In China no majorbusiness is conducted without eye contact, requiring face-to-face conversation. However, in America, a final agreement will normally be signed in person. However, people are meeting increasingly on television screens, conducting teleconferences to settle problems not only in this country but also-by satellite-internationally.In spite of they have these differences, they have some similarities. In the china we think when we do some important things, we must spendsome. American for the most part costs a part time in important things. So in the culture of deal to in significant things, China and America has some similarities.In my opinion, we must respect the different culture.篇二：中西方文化差异英语作文In my view, it is not surprising that Mr. Jones and Mr. Wang had a so unpleasant conversation, because it caused by the different culture between East and West.Modesty is one of the national characters of Chinese people, which can be proved by those stories about modesty in the history of China. When praised in public, the Chinese may deny it to show the modesty, though he is happy to hear that. However, the Westerner may just say “thank you”to express happiness.If I were Mr. Wang, I would say “Thank you for your praise, and Iwill keep working hard to do better”. As far as I am concerned, excessive modesty is just hubris, so we should receive the praise with happiness and do better.If I were the boss, I would study the different culture more to understand the staff. As the old saying goes, do in Rome as Rome does. So only if the boss know the difference in the culture and do the right things, can he motivate the staff more appropriately to make more money.篇三：英语作文-东西方文化差异-Cultural differencesCultural differencesThere are plenty of. people in the world. They come from different countried, have theirown race, belief and way of life. What is more, their culture is different from others'. So,there is no doubt that cultural difference exist among lots of countries, especially betweeneastern and western countries.Compared with the way of life, eastern people always have a bath in the evening or atnight in order to relax themselves after one-day's hard work while western people take abath in the morning. so as to keep freshly for the whole day. Ingeneral, it is true,especially for Chinese people. We, Chinese people would like to take baths at night ratherthan in the morning. It is a kind of habits we behave all the time.Compared with the relationships, differences are as follow: firstly, eastern people like tomake friends, sometimes through their friends, parents, relatives. While western peoplebehave a little shyly. They do not want to make friends all the time. Secondly, easternpeople would like to hang out with the person they do not know about quite a lot. whilewestern people just like going out with the person whom they get along well with.Finally, eastern people have much more friends than western people for their quitedifferent way of getting along with. their friends. There is no doubt that eastern peopleare more outgoing than western people, so I agree with these a lot.As for way of solving problems, eastern people always deal with things indirectly. Theypay much attention to many things around them, and always workfor a long time to solvethe problem. However, western people just go straight the heart of the problem and solveit directly and efficiently. As far as I am concerned, this difference between eastern andwestern people is quite normal and correct. Eastern people, especially Chinese peoplecare about things around them a lot, they always want to satisfy everyone's need, so thatthey spend much more time to solve a problem than western people.As for way of thinking, people in eastern areas usually think indirectly. They used tothink about the things around them a lot and try to deal with things in a reasonable evenperfect way. However, in comparison with the eastern people, people in the western areasoften think directly. They pay less attention to the things around them and care muchmore about themselves. Honestly speaking, I disagree to this.In my opinion, everyone isspecial and has their right and obligations to do things. There isno need for us to critiseothers and what we should do is to respect their own. decision.There are a lot of differences between easte(转自： 千叶帆文摘:文化差异的英语作文带翻译)rn and western culture. These are the symbolsof their own characteristics and we need time to dig out more differences so as to learnmore about them. Most importantly, we must respect their culture firstly!。
