Many people think that we can learn a lot about the culture of a foreign country simply by living in that country.However,this is not necessarily true.Often,the longer we stay in a foreign country,the more we realize how little we actually know about the culture of that country. Books and talks about other people's culture can even be dangerous because they pay great attention to cultural differences and national characteristics,and sometime a lot of information they have is untrue. In a study recently carried out in Britain,people were asked to make a list of anything that they thought was typical of Britain and would interest a foreign visitor there.Most talked about Shakespeare,the Queen, village inns,English folk dancing,football fans,umbrellas,English castles and fish and chips wrapped in newspaper.Although all of these features can be found in British culture,they do not reflect the real interests of ordinary British people.What is surprising is that they were suggested by British people themselves as their culture! If people have such a wrong impression of their own culture,how much more false would their impression of other culture be!
此题考察翻译
解题思路: 首先要知道英语单词的意思,再次要注意句子的结构
解题过程:
许多人认为:只要住在一个国家,就能了解到那个国家的许多文化。然而,通常这不是真的,我们住在那个国家越长,我们越能意识到我们对那个国家的文化知之甚少。
书籍和关于其他人关于文化的谈论甚至是危险的,因为他们高度重视的是文化差异和民族特色。有时候他们所提供的许多信息是不真实的。
最近在英国进行了一项研究,人们被要求列一项清单关于英国的典型事物和使外国游客感兴趣的人。大多数都提到了莎士比亚、英国女王、乡村酒吧、英国民俗舞蹈、足球迷、雨伞以及报纸上提到的城堡、炸鱼和炸薯条。虽然这些都能在英国的文化中找到,但这些并不能反映出普通人民的兴趣。令人惊讶的是:他们建议把英国人们作为他们的文化象征。如果人们有这样一个错误的关于他们自己文化的印象,很难想象这种文化是多么错误啊!
如有疑问,请添加讨论,谢谢!
