A. 中西文化差异英语论文（3000字以上）
例如：
朱门酒肉臭，路有冻死骨。
一人得道，鸡犬升天。
衙门八字开，有理无钱莫进来。
只许州官放火，不许百姓点灯。
四、 风俗习惯
不同的民族形成了各自独特的风俗习惯：正如英语中一句谚语所说的：“So
many countries, so many customs.”
在对狗的态度上，中国人脑海中狗如同鸡、鸭、猪一样是一种地位十分卑微的动物。常常把狗与“下贱”、“低微”、“无赖”等贬义词联系在一起，如“狼心狗肺”、“狗腿子”、“猪狗不如”、“狐朋狗党”等，[5]（P83）虽然狗也用作看家护院、狩猎、牧羊。狗还常被宰杀烹调，这在西方人看来是非常不能接受的。中国人对狗的态度在谚语中可以体现出来，
如：狗眼看人低。
好狗不挡道。
狗嘴里吐不出象牙。
狗改不了吃屎。
痛打落水狗。
而狗在西方人眼中不仅是狩猎、看门、工作的得力可靠的好帮手，更是生活中重要的伴侣和朋友，是抚慰人们寂寞空虚生活不可缺少的一部分，甚至将其视为家中的成员，与狗有着深厚的感情。在西方还有发生狗死后，为其安葬立碑的事。
因此，狗的形象在英语谚语中是褒义的，人们对狗是怜爱、赞赏的。英语谚语之中，常常以狗的形象来比喻人的行为。
如：You are a lucky dog.你是一个幸运儿。
Every dog has its day.各人皆有出头之日。
Old dog will not learn new tricks.老人学不了新东西。
Love me, love my dog.爱屋及乌。
而英语中兔子常代表胆怯，但汉语中与“胆怯”相联系的动物形象则是老鼠。因此有谚语“气壮如牛，胆小如鼠”；英语民族常用狮子比喻力量、雄威，所以有谚语：
March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.三月来如猛狮；去如羔羊。
Every dog is a lion at home.狗是百步王，只在门前狠。
A lion may be beholden to a mouse.老鼠也能帮狮子；弱者也能帮强者。这里因为狮子多产于非洲、印度等地，而英国历史上与这些地区或国家有着很深的关系。而我国不产狮子，无论南方北方都产老虎。[6]（P73）从前，老虎数量繁多，常出没山林，侵扰人民，甚至危害人命。人们认为虎为百兽之王，对虎十分敬畏，有“养虎为患”、“伴君如伴虎”的说法，把虎看作力量、威武、雄壮的象征，因此产生了许多关于与老虎有关的谚语。
例如：山中无老虎，猴子称大王。
不入虎穴，焉得虎子。
虎毒不食子
初生牛犊不怕虎。
五、 民族性格
中西方由于各自生存环境的差异，以及人们对自身环境的不同应战，发展出
各自不同的社会文明，从而产生了不同的文化取向、价值观念、性格特征。
在古希腊，由于土地的贫瘠，海上通道的开辟，再加上频繁的战争和几次大规模的民族迁徙，使得他们很早就发展起商业经济，创造了人类最古老的商业文明。西方成了典型的商业社会，人们从事着频繁的商业活动，正所谓“The English are a nation of shop-keepers.”（英国全民皆商，外表富强）。经商的成效不在天地鬼神而在自己，在于自己的才干。[7]（P22-23）商场中的竞争激烈、优胜劣汰、你失我得，这形成了西方人个人意识较强、重视个人作用、个人独立自主、个人利益的个人主义思想。
Self comes first.自我利益是第一位的。
Everyman for himself and God for us all.个人为自己，上帝为大家。
Near is my shirt, but nearer is my skin.自己的利益最切身。
Self-preservation is the first law of nature.保存自己是自然界的第一法则。
He who depends on another dines ill and sups worse.指望别人，难有好吃喝。
而经商见效快、获利多、风险大，也养成了西方人急功近利、富于进取、敢于冒险的流动性格。
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again.
Forbidden fruit is sweetest.
Catch as catch can.
Discontent is the first step in progress.
Life is a battle from cradle to grave.人生是一场从摇篮到坟墓的战斗。
Life, to be worthy of a rational being, must be always in progression. 人生必须永远前进，才不愧为有理智的人。
Fortune favors the bold. 勇者天佑。
个人主义思想使西方人重视突出个人，喜欢表现自己的个性，乐于标新立异，爱出风头，尊重个性、自我，并鼓励个性发展，对别人因个性表现出的任何形态都能够理解接受，这可以在谚语中体现出来。
It’s squeaky wheel that gets the oil.吱吱叫的轮子先上油。
Tastes differ.个人品位不同。
Every man after his fashion.个人追求个人的风格。
If you’ve got it, flaunt it.这句谚语来源于一部The procer的美国电影。意思是如果你有钱、本事、美貌或性感，就应该让人瞧瞧。[8]（P334）
而以农业为根本的中国人则截然不同，农业的收获往往不在耕种者，而是老天。人的意志如何强大也阻止不了干旱、洪水、风暴等天灾的来临。[7]（P23）另外农业见效慢，而一年一度的丰收来自于长期的扎扎实实、坚持不懈的努力劳动，这形成了中国人思想意识中安定保守、善于坚持忍耐、缺乏冒险、知足的性格的特质。[5]（P23）

D. 用英文列举一些文化差异的现象
中西文化最常见的九大差异
现代社会，跨文化的言语交际显得愈发重要。交际中的文化差异随处可见，言语环境中的文化因素受到普遍重视。下面是中西文化中九大常见差异。1．亲属称谓英语的亲属以家庭为中心，一代人为一个称谓板块，只区别男性、女性，忽略配偶双方因性别不同而出现的称谓差异，显得男女平等。如：英文祖辈为“grandparents，grandfather，grandmother”，而中文祖辈则有所区别：“爷爷、奶奶、外公、外婆”。再如，父母同辈中的称谓，英文是“uncle”和“aunt”，而中文区分为“伯伯、叔叔、舅舅”和“姑妈，姨妈”等。英文中表示下一辈的“nephew”和“niece”是不分侄甥的，表示同辈的“cousin”不分堂表、性别。2.考虑问题的主体中国人喜欢以对方为中心，考虑对方的情感。比如：“你想买什么？”而英语中，往往从自身的角度出发，如：“Can I help you?”或“What can I do for you?”3.问候用语中国人打招呼，一般都以对方处境或动向为思维出发点。如“您去哪里？”而西方人往往认为这些纯属个人私事，他们见面打招呼总是说：“Hi/Hello!/How are you?”4.面对恭维中国人的传统美德是谦虚谨慎，对别人的恭维和夸奖一般是推辞。如：“菜做得很好吃。”“过奖，过奖，做得不好。”西方人从来不过分谦虚，对恭维一般表示谢意，表现出一种自强自信的信念。如：“You can speak very good French.”“Thank you.”所以，要注意当说英语的人称赞你时，不要回答：“No,I don’t think so.”这种回答在西方人看来是不礼貌的，甚至是虚伪的。5．电话用语中国人打电话时的用语与平时讲话用语没有多少差异。“喂，您好。麻烦您叫一声王伟接电话。”英语中打电话与平时用语差别很大。如：“Hello,this is John speaking.”“Could I speak to Tom please?”西方人一接到电话一般都先报自己的号码或者工作单位的名称。如：“Hello,52164768,this is Jim.”中国学生刚开始学英语会犯这样的错误：“Hello,who are you please?”6．接受礼物中国人收到礼物时会说：“哎呀，还送礼物干什么？”“让您破费了。”客人走后才迫不及待地拆开。西方人收到礼物时，一般当着客人的面打开，并连声称好：“Very beautiful!Wow!”“What a wonderful gift it is!”7．称呼用语中国人见面时喜欢问对方的年龄、家庭等，而西方人很反感别人问及这些私事。西方人之间，如果没有血缘关系，对男子统称呼“Mr.”对未婚女士统称“Miss”，对已婚的女士统称为“Mrs.”。为了表示礼貌，中国人对陌生人也要以亲属关系称呼。如“大爷、大娘、大叔、大婶、大哥、大姐”等。8．体贴他人在西方，向别人提供帮助、关心、同情等的方式和程度是根据接受方愿接受的程度来定的；而中国人帮起忙来一般是热情洋溢，无微不至。中国人建议患上感冒的人马上去看医生，表示真诚的关心。而美国人对此不理解，会认为“难道他的病有如此严重吗？”因此，只要回答：“I’m sorry to hear that.”就够了。9．请客吃饭中国人招待客人时，一般都准备了满桌美味佳肴，不断地劝享用，自己还谦虚：“没什么菜，吃顿便饭。西方人请客吃饭，菜肴特别简单，经常以数量不多的蔬菜为可口的上等菜，席间劝客仅仅说：“Help yourself to some vegetables,please.”吃喝由客人自便自定。
E. 求一篇中西方文化差异与英语学习的文章!
两篇供你参考，希望对你有帮助～～呵呵～
(一）
What are the major differences between chinese and western culture?
I'll list down a few differences:
West:
1. Western culture is based on indivialism rather than on mass (collectivism). For instance, in the US, you always talk about indivial rights, instead of placing the whole society above your own self. This is clearly different in China where a country, society or family are placed above your own self.
2. Western culture is adventurous and exploration based. Westerners like to discover new things, invention and expand outwards. For instance, bungee jumping is considered adventurous and common in western culture, but you will probably find no-one doing such a thing in China.
3. Western culture is based on science, which attempts to resolve people and nature's relationship.
4. West uses law to resolve people and people's relationship. You can never find 'law' well-established in China. For 2000 years, China is a land that's based on human relationship rather than law.
5. West uses 'god' and religion to resolve human and spiritualism relationship. In case of problems with your own self, you just pray to god.
6. A culture that expands and develop outwards.
Chinese Culture:
1. A culture based on masses (collectivism). People placed country and family above your own self.
2. A culture that is based on humanism and people
3. To resolve the relationship betwen man and nature, the chinese attempts to fuse the human and 'heaven' as one. (天人和一)
4. To resolve people and people's relationship, chinese uses ethics and tolerance (中恕之道)
5. To resolve human and spiritualism, chinese emphasizes internal cultivation (修身养性)
6. A focus on balance and mean. By 'mean', it means 'middle way'. You don't go into extremism. Peace is always honoured.
7. Pay homage to heaven and earth, as well as bearing a remembrance to the homeland. (敬仰天地,思乡怀土) This was accorded to the fact that chinese had been a farming civilization and therefore will be more prone to remember their land.
8. A culture that expands internally rather than outwards.
Some of the disadvantage of old chinese culture:
1. Debase women and chauvanistic
2. An over-emphasis on past history instead of present (lacks pragmatism)
Can you list some more differences? Any comments and contributions are appreciated.

The difference between west and east
I wonder how many things do you know about the difference between west and east? I can tell you some. East and west , they are different in many ways. Today, I want to talk about it in the following three parts. They are food, dressing and living styles.
First , food.
In China, we prefer noodles, rice , jiaozi as the main course. We like cooking a lot of delicious dishes, then we set up the tables, put the dishes on the tables, sit together, and taste the dishes together, we don’t eat with indivial plates, when we eating ,we like chatting and laughing, we think it’s warm and happy to eat this way; But in England or other west countries, people like eating hamburgers, chips, pizza, pasta as their main course, they eat them with vegetable salad, they eat with drinking (water or juice),and they eat with separate plates. In China, we become full up when we finish all the food, then we don’t eat anything, but in west countries, people eat desserts after they finish their meals.
Second, dressing.
In China, we prefer colorful clothes, we dress them in different places, some time many people don’t mind the places we will go, and dress more formal or less formal, and some people just wearing beautiful clothes, don’t make up; But in west countries, people dress according their visiting places, in daily times, they often wear casual clothes, but if they go to a formal places ,they often wear suits, ladies wearing beautiful dresses, pretty hats. No matter how old the ladies are, they always make up.
Third, living styles.
Chinese prefer getting up early and go to bed early too. We usually go home early and cook meals, then we eat and watch TV, then we go to bed. We often work ring the holidays , children often go to different spare schools to study. We like save money and when we have enough money, we then go and buy what we want, in my opinion, Chinese are so tired and busy; But in most west countries, people live in a easy and happy lives. They get up late and go to work late too, they go to pubs, bars to have a rest after they finish their work, they enjoy their holidays, they seldom go to work ring the weekend. if you go to west countries, you can take part in their joyful night life.
That’s the differences I found ring the days I stayed in England. They are not all of them, but I think they can give my friends some information. Though west countries have more advantages in living, I still believe that “East or west , home is best”, I still think China will always be my deeply loved mother.

文化差异(Culture Difference):种族 National race
The whole question of the changing role of Blacks in American society as been the subject of newspaper articles around the world so frequently that visitors to the United States do not know what to expect when they arrive. They may be surprised when they see that Blacks and Whites work side by side in offices , factories , and schools across the country . The majority of Blacks in the United States, however, live in and around only a small number of American cities.
Many dark-skinned visitors arrive in the United States fearing personal attack or expecting various degrees of racial prejudice. Some forms of discrimination [1] still exist ,unfortunately, especially in the areas of the housing , schools , and jobs . The school equality is still more a dream than a reality. There are still too many areas of the country where Black Americans do not enjoy the same full opportunities as White Americans . However, the vast majority of American s are working , studying , and sharing public places together. This was not true even a few years ago in some parts of the country , but progress is steadily being made . You will be able to observe the improvement in race relations as soon as your plane lands . You will see it in the airport, in public buses and trains , in theaters , restaurants , rest room, in sops and libraries , in offices and factories . Close personal friendships between Blacks and Whites , full trust and social relationships are still not common , except in certain areas, However, even in this - the slowest area of progress-there has been change , especially among young people.
[1] discrimination n. 辨别, 区别, 识别力, 辨别力, 歧视

Culture Difference
发表日期：2005-04-22 10:58:52 作者：洪恩在线
It is not a novel knowledge that culture difference exists between eastern and w
estern countries. But not until I heard the lecture given by a Chinese scholar,
who has been lived in Australia for several years, did I came to understand that
how different it is.
The scholar summarized that we, as Chinese, prefer to think in a spiral, casual
way, while western people, more often than not, are fond of a linear, business-i
s-business way. Supporting the idea, he named out examples he himself experience
d while staying in Australia. Here are some excerpts.
Firstly, line up matter. If you are in China, it is not rare to see that a crowd
of people throng in the supermarket, trying to get service first. People in Ch
ina do line up, the scholar said in a humorous tone, but they prefer to line up
at a horizontal way.
In contrast, in western countries, say, in Australia, people always line up, no
matter in a big bank or a small grocery store. And they take it for granted. Lin
ing up has long since become part of their life that they scarcely doubt it or g
row impatient while doing it.
Secondly, first come, first served. Though in words it is a normal principle her
e in China, it’s mostly not the case in reality. Take an example of what usuall
y happens in a bank. Here when we are in a middle-sized bank, and suppose we are
talking with the cashier, it always tends to have someone butt in, claiming tha
t his or her request takes only one second.
And it seems that we have already been accustomed to it. So has the cashier. But
in western countries, it never applies. It is always rude that you butt in whil
e the cashier is serving his customer. No matter how little time your request co
sts, the cashier, more often than not, is likely to turn you down. Only one cust
omer at a time is his principle.
Thirdly, change stuff. Suppose I am in a shopping mall and the stuff I purchase
cost me 142 RMB. While lining up at the casher’s and happening to check my wall
et, I find I have 200 RMB and two one-yuan coins. What will I do? To give the ca
shier 200 RMB, or give him 200 RMB and the two one-yuan coins so that he could r
eturn me 60 RMB, which is more convenient for both of us.
I think when the Chinese were in this situation, they would mostly choose the la
tter one. But the scholar said, in Australia, they won’t do so. He then told th
at he himself did try it once, and he thought it was self-evident to do so. But
the cashier did not understand.
So the scholar latter on summarized that western people are prone to lack of fle
xibility while doing their work. Then how about us in their eyes? They think we
Chinese have a tendency to make things complicate. What an interesting contrast!
Here I don’t intend to tell which is better and which is worse. What I try to s
ay is just that we might well be in conformity with the customs and be aware of
the culture differences while being abroad. Like the saying goes—while you are
in Rome, do as Romans do. If you don’t want to put yourself in the public, bear
ing all this in mind is perhaps the best policy.

Dear Caroline,
I think your scholar friend spent several years in Australia and completely miss
ed the most important value represented in his examples. That value is egalitar
ianism. The principle that people should be treated equally.
When the bank teller insists on attending one customer at a time the principle i
s not "only one customer at a time" it is "this customer waited in line and so w
ill you, no matter how tall, how well dressed or how loud your voice." And you
can be sure if the customer is a poor working man and the impatient man is a wel
l dressed business man, the customer will very bruskly insist on his rights not
to be interrupted. A well run bank will have a customer service person who can
answer questions, but people doing transactions must wait their turn. My impres
sion of a business or a nation where people are not treated equally in the marke
tplace and a bully can obtain service without waiting is a place where there is
a class oriented culture and/or where one can bribe one …………[文章太长，没有全部显示，点击本文标题阅读全文]
Re：Culture Difference caroline.(caroline) 2K 05.04.20 12:25
Dear Tim,
The lecture given by the scholar is mainly on English learning. That's for he na
med such examples. He just aimed to tell the audience how important to understan
d a culture is, which is different from our motherland.
What you said is indeed right. And I am with you on this. The corruption in Chi
na is rampant these years, you relate it with class. Well, I haven't thought abo
ut it. But I do agree that the idea of class roots in many people's mind.
Like the example you took in the article, I almost could be sure that here the c
ashier would definitely turn to the well dressed business man. You say that the
poor working man will insist on his rigts not to be interrupted. But here I gues
s he would just pretend not to mind it and let it be.
I myself experienced this once, in fact. Once I was in a post office to have a p
ackage posted. You know, it was crowded inside and the people lined up in a wayw
ard way. So when it was my turn, and when I was just about to tell the man my re
quest, one guy …………[文章太长，没有全部显示，点击本文标题阅读全文]

Dear Panpanpan,
I wouldn't have written in such a non-diplomatic fashion except that I wanted to
see what people thought, and that sort of behavior is particularly irritating t
o me. I will try not to lose my temper when I am in China. I don't want to get
"kung fu'd". Great to hear from you, friend. I want to hear more of your thou
ghts.
