中西方文化差异(英文版).ppt

As we all know that there are many differences between China and American,and I think the culture is the biggest one. The culture includes many things,such as habits languages and so on.Now I want to introduce something about it. At first,I’d like to talk about the marriage customs.In our China the bride and bridegroom would in red because we believe the red color reprsents lucky and the wedding would be host in the bridegroom’s house . In American the bride always in her white wedding gown and their wedding will be host in a church. Chinese often use these words such as color 、smell 、taste、sharp to describe the food. Americans usually pay attention to the calories、vitamins、proteins and so on. If we patted on a child’s head,it means we like the child. Americans treat the action as a misbehavious.they think you don’t respect the child so you will make his parents angery. When we meet somebody at the first time,we usually ask his name、age or the payment,while Americans think it’s impolite and we don’t say“thanks”all the times especially saying it to our parents or brother but Americans speak it frequently. In china if we have a supper,we would invite many people and we usually think the more the better because we think it will be more lively. on the other hand,if the host respect you he will give you a seat at first and sit on the left chair . The host will prepare all the things well.in addition the host will get something tast well into the gust’s bowl . The host will let the guests to choose what to eat or drink.if the host got somethings into the guest’s bowl,they will think that the host force them to finish it. Americans would like to keep quiet and make the banquet sweet.they regard the right as a symbol of respect. Now we have known somethings about the different and we know that because the different culture、background and custom,we don’t know each other very well.so in my opinion we should commuciate with each other
