一、引言
在中国,自古就有“书读百遍,其义自见”的古训。这句话的含义是在语言学习中,只要不断地进行阅读,在不知不觉中就会了解其中的含义。在英语学习中这个方法其实要一分为二地看待,一方面,通过不断诵读,确实能够有效地稳固学生对于单词、句子结构、整体语感的掌握,但是另一方面,由于英语并不是中国学生的母语,就是阅读再多遍,也不可能达到“其义自见”的程度。这种情况下,英美文学作品的重要性就凸显出来了。我们知道,文学作品是语言文字的集大成者,它是一项非常复杂的但是涵盖面极广的语言的精炼和巧妙的运用。文学作品对于语言文字的驾驭和使用只会高出一般语言文字的使用要求而不会比这个要求更低,那么在英语教学中,是不是可以引入英美文学这一元素,以培养学生英美文学素养这一教学目标来全面提升学生的英语成绩呢?答案是肯定的,经过教学实践,教师们发现,将大量的英美文学作品引入教学过程中,将培养学生英美文学素养作为重要教学目标并以此为基础进行教学活动的确能够极大提升学生的英语成绩,并且学生的英语驾驭能力也有了不小的提升,达到了兼具考试和实用两个层次的价值,对学生的全面成长是极为有利的。
二、当前大学英语教学中培养学生英美文学素养的必要性和可行性分析
1、培养学生英美文学素养能够让学生在潜移默化中更加深刻了解西方文化
文化是语言的基础,文化这一看不见摸不着的事物决定着语言的所有要素。任何一种语言都带有鲜明的地域特色,都是一个国家或者地区文明的精炼。同时语言又是文化的重要组成部分,甚至我们可以毫不夸张地说,对于一种语言的学习,其实就是对于该国家或者地区文化的学习。对于母语的学习和本国文化的学习存在着很大的难度,因为即便是再小的国家,也最少有数百年的历史,这数百年的历史积淀是极为深厚的,想要在短短十数年中精通是绝不可能的。这也就是中国学生每个人的语文成绩都不会太差,但是未必每个人的成绩都会很好的原因所在。本国语言的学习尚且如此,更遑论拒自己国家千里万里的,文化背景和历史完全不同的,文化差异特别巨大的国家的语言的学习。而每一个国家都有具备极强文字驾驭能力的人,他们的文学作品是对整个国家和民族语言的精炼与巧妙组合,不仅对语言文字的解析十分有帮助,还直接体现了本国的文化和社会背景。文化这种元素是无法进行教育的,只能自己去感悟,通过对大学生英美文学素养的培养,就能够提升学生对于英美文化的敏感程度。
2、有效提升学生综合英语能力
中国当前高校英语教育的主要要点就是听、说、读、写四个方面,但是其实我们从这几点就可以看出这个层次是非常低的。举例来说,对于非文学专业的语文教学来说,听和说不必考核,因为这是每一个中国人进行交流的前提,但是对于语文的考察却不会仅仅停留在能读懂和能写出两个层次,语文的考核会考核学生对于古文、现代文深刻的理解,要体会隐藏在纸面上的语言背后深层次的思想感情和文化元素。但是对于英语的考核就没有这么深入。当然,对母语的考核和对外语的考核肯定是要有所区别的,但是当前的英语教学是为了培养更多能够适应国际化的优秀人才,是要让这些学生将来能够在国际上与英语母语的人流畅沟通的,所以要求必须要提高。但是又因为英语不是中国人的母语,所以必须采取一些必要的手段来提升中国学生的英语能力,大量阅读英美文学作品并且体会其中的感情和文化就是不错的方法。
3、能够有效提升学生的审美能力,培养学生正确的价值观念
早在一千多年前的唐朝就有关于“兼听”和“偏听”的讨论。在语言的学习中亦是如此。尽管对于中国学生来说,坚定不移地信仰马克思主义才是正确的道路,但是如果能够对全世界范围内各种意识形态都有一种较为深刻的认识,会让学生的这种信仰更加坚定。并且刨除东西方文化差异和价值观念的碰撞这些直接的元素来考虑的话,任何一个国家都是会讴歌真善美、批判假恶丑的,在情感的表达上,这种人文的思潮是任何国家都一致的。并且当前的时代是全球一体化的时代,学生如果全面了解世界范围内的文化,对其审美能力和价值观念的培养是有很大的好处的。文学作品在提升审美和价值观念方面起到的作用是其他任何事物都无法比拟的,其中的人文性也是其他任何活动都望尘莫及的。
三、大学英语教学中培养学生英美文学素养的现实路径解析
1、培养学生英美文学素养亟待解决的问题探讨
要想全面提升学生的英美文学素养,绝不仅仅是多看基本英美文学名著就能达到目的的,还需要进行全面的准备和改革。第一,要进行教育体制上的必要革新。教育改革在我国已经持续了很多年了,但是似乎整个教育体制变动较大的只是基础教育,高等教育的改革力度似乎并不大。这其实是不科学的,因为高等教育承担着直接为社会输出人才的重要任务,其改革的成效将直接关乎整个教育改革的成败。那么具体到培养学生英美文学素养这一目标上,自然不可以免地要谈到应试教育和素质教育的天平倾斜。想要提升学生的英美文学素养,必然要做的是加大学生对于英美文学的阅读量。并且为了由于英语这门学科并不会吸引大多数的学生,所以有必要用相对的考核对敦促学生进行这方面的努力。当然,本身这种模式都是要打破应试教育的桎梏,考核自然也不能够仅仅是考试。可以适当举办一些活动和比赛,既增加趣味性,又提升学生的积极性,还能够让学生在实践中加深对于英美文学素养的理解,一举多得。第二,培养一支高水平的师资队伍就很有必要了。既然要求学生的英美文学素养有一定的提升,那么相应的,教师的英美文学素养必须也有所保障,并且教师在教学思想和观念上也应当有相应的提升。也就是说,高水平的师资队伍具体体现在两个方面,一是教师应当转变思想,正确认识到英美文学在英语教学中的重要作用,将英美文学在高等教育英语教学中的重要作用进行深刻的领会,并且主动地在自己的教学活动中进行必要的创新。教师在这种情况下的要求比传统的英语教师要高得多。在这种形势下,大学的英语教师必须具备扎实牢固的英语基础知识、对西方文化较为深刻的了解、对学生的英语水平有较好的整体把握、对世界各国的一些文化知识都有涉猎。这样能力全面的教师才能够真正担负起培养学生优秀的英美文学素养。第三,当前的英语教材亟需改编。英美文学素养的培养仅凭课上的部分讲解和课下的学生自觉是不能完全发挥其作用的,要做到将英美文学素养作为评价高校学生英语整体水平的重要要素之一,就需要对现有的英语教材进行改编。当前的英语教材是中国的相关专家和一些国外的相关专家联合编写的,这些教材的确更适合中国学生学习,但是却在文学性上有些许的不足之处。未来英语教材应当在保有现有的模式下,加入大篇幅的英美文学作品,使学生学习的不再是专门为他们设置的英语教材,而是原汁原味的英语作品,这样对培养他们真正的语感和适应未来的国际化社会是更加有利的。当然,英美文学作品加入教材中对于学生理解来说是产生了一些困难的,因为文学作品中往往存在大量俚语、修辞和非常规的英语用法,不过对于适应了这些困难以后的英美文学作品赏析就会变得更加简单。
2、培养学生英美文学素养的现实路径
在解决了基本的教育体制、教材、教师三方面的前提条件以后,就完全可以以学生为中心,针对学生的需求来进行文学素养的培养了。第一,要设置多元化的师生互动活动,改变传统的课堂教育模式。英美文学素养的培养不是靠学生读写和教师讲解就能够完全实现的,在教学实践中可以首先指引学生进行自主学习,在教师讲解之前自己先通读设定的篇章,找出自己完全无法理解的地方,用师生交流或者同学间的交流形式来解决这些问题;在课堂上多采取一些活动,例如文学作品的演绎、文学作品读后感的诵读等等,加深学生对文学作品的熟悉和敏感,也能够极大提升学生的积极性;在课外要进行规模更大、范围更广的活动,组织相关的社团组织,定期举办活动等等。第二,多利用当前的计算机技术和网络技术。当前的时代是计算机的时代和网络的时代,教师应当鼓励学生多从网络中获取英美文学作品的相关资讯,可以引导学生自主地了解作者的背景、文学作品的整体逻辑和脉络等等,并且借助于多媒体的设备,用各种声光影结合的形式改变以往仅仅给学生视觉刺激的教师模式。其实这种让学生通过多媒体设备和网络的教学方式,不仅能够在有限的时间内获取更多的文学作品的信息,还能够真正地将传统英语教学中的被动地“教”为主体向现在的主动地“学”而转变,培养学生的文学素养就变得更有成效。第三,要将理论与实践相结合,多鼓励学生说和写。每一个人阅读文学作品以后,或多或少地心中一定会有感悟,教师应当鼓励和引导学生将这种感受说出来或者写出来,让学生将自己心中模糊的感受在说和写的过程中不断清晰和深化,将这些在不断阅读中积攒的一点一滴逐渐融合成为学生的文学素养,使学生的英语学习效率和成果比传统的模式更上一层楼。
四、结语
中西方文化存在差异,这对培养学生英美文学素养来说有利也有弊,有利的一点是学生一旦对西方文化有一定程度的了解,那么对于英美文学素养的提升来说是非常明显的,不利的地方则是学生需要认知的事情太多、太繁琐了。但是其实能够正视和有效利用中西方文化差异的学生,才是未来社会需要的人才。教育问题永远是一个国家最为重视的问题之一,因为它直接关乎到一个国家和民族的未来。在我国的教育体系中,高等教育又承担着直接向社会输出人才的重要作用。在高等教育中,英语是各个专业都必须学习的必修课,但是教学和学习实效是非常差的。近些年来,相关的专家和学者不断地研究大学英语的创新出路,整个大学英语的教学模式都需要进行较大的变动。而在当前形势下,引入英美文学教学模式,培养学生英美文学素养成为了一项理论和实践都取得不小成果的手段。当然,这种模式还处在初级阶段,各项工作还不够完善,但是相信随着时代的发展和教育改革的不断深入,英美文学素养的培养必将成为全面提升学生英语能力的重要手段,为国家培养出更多优秀的适应国际化趋势的人才。
普通高校英美文学是英语专业主干课程之一,该课设置的目的不仅在于加强学生语言基本功训练,更是提高学生素质和培育人文精神的有效途径。《高等学校英语专业教学大纲》指出:“文学课程的目的在于培养学生阅读、欣赏、理解英语文学原著的能力,掌握文学批评的基本知识和方法。通过阅读和分析英美文学作品,促进学生语言基本功和人文素质的提高,增强学生对西方文学及文化的了解。”英美文学课在外语专业曾经备受青睐。然而,在“重技能,轻人文”的大潮冲击下,功利主义泛滥,实用型的课程如口语、听力、翻译课等成了重要的专业课程。英美文学课则显得可有可无,逐渐被边缘化。目前,很多高等院校在制定人才培养方案时,大大压缩英美文学课程。根据调查,河南省大部分本科英语专业的英美文学课时仅为72个学时,其中,英国文学36个学时,美国文学36个学时。每周两个课时的文学课,远远达不到预期的教学效果。
一、普通高校英语专业英美文学课程存在的问题
(一)课程设置概念不准确,内容不完整
英美文学史和文学作品选读是作为两门课程还是一门课的界定没有统一的标准。目前,大多数高校的外语学院都是把英美文学史和英美文学作品选读两门本应分开的课程合为一体,称为英美文学。还有些学校没有开设“英美文学史”这门课,只在学生进入大学三年级的时候分别开设一学期的英国文学和美国文学。学生对整个英美文学史没有系统和宏观的把握,就直接研读作品,使学生只掌握少数具体的作家作品,对各个文学流派、文学传承以及与时代的联系缺乏整体掌握。
(二)课时安排偏少,边缘化趋势突出
为迎合重商主义的社会风气,全国外语院系刮起了一股砍削文学课的飓风。更改教学大纲,削减文学课程,并不顾自己的实际,硬性增设经贸、金融等课程。英美文学课从一二十人小班的、讨论式的教学变成了一两百人的大班讲授式,从两个学年的课程“浓缩”到一个学年、甚至一个学期的课程。有的外语院系干脆把英美文学课定为选修课,英美文学课遭遇严重的“边缘化”。
(三)开设时间不合理,教学内容脱离学生实际
很多学生尽管是英语专业,但在大学一二年级很少接触英美文学作品,尤其是经典作品。文学功底差,到了大三突然接触深奥的文学作品,如经典剧作《浮士德》、《麦克白》等,感到艰涩难懂,因而没有学习兴趣,教学效果很差。实际上,文学课程担负着提高学生人文素质的重任,我们除了要重视专业教育外,也要在大学一二年级就加强学生在文学方面的教育,提高学生的外语综合素质。而学习外国文学是提高综合素质有效而重要的一环。
高校英语专业英美文学课程与教学的现状不利于英语专业学生文学素养的养成,大大降低了英语专业的教学质量。这种状况得不到改变,大学英语专业培养的将只是翻译工具,而不是全面发展的英语专业人才。作为高校英语专业英美文学课教师,应该以提高英语专业教学质量为己任,探索教学改革的途径,走出英美文学课程困境,充分发挥英美文学的人文价值。
二、英美文学课程改革措施
(一)调整英美文学课的教学内容
许多年来,英美文学的教材一直沿用“文学史+选读”的固定而陈旧的模式,教材按照历史顺序,分别列出各种各样的文学史知识,如所有作家的时代背景、生卒年月、作品概况介绍等,这些内容占了大部分的篇幅。其实,将宝贵的教材篇幅用来介绍背景知识是不科学的,这可能会让学生忽略文学作品本身。文学作品应以文学鉴赏为基础,并提升文学批评鉴赏能力和创新思维能力。我们的建议是在作品之前设置一些预习作业与问题,让学生利用现代化的网络和多媒体设备查找和总结作家介绍和作品背景,将宝贵的篇幅留给文学作品本身。作家和文学作品的遴选也是教材改革需要重点考虑的方面。传统的英美文学教材往往是厚古薄今,尤其是早期的经典著作对古英语涉猎过多,如学生在文学课的开始就遭遇内容晦涩难懂的古英语诗歌《贝奥武夫》,难以把握作品的精髓与内涵,这样很容易挫伤学生的学习积极性。由于英美文学时间跨度大、内容非常广泛,名家名作不胜枚举,教材的设置和作家的取舍一定要考虑到学生的接受程度进行宏观把握下的重点筛选,比如在讲美国文学中的当代戏剧时,应将重点集中于美国20世纪最伟大的三大戏剧家尤金•奥尼尔、阿瑟•米勒和田纳西•威廉斯,并将他们的写作风格、历史传承进行对比研究,对其代表作如尤金•奥尼尔的《榆树下的欲望》、阿瑟•米勒的《推销员之死》、田纳西•威廉斯的《玻璃动物园》进行对比阅读分析,找出现代人的孤独、欲望和工业社会对人性的摧残等剧作家想要揭示的共同主题。这种方式有利于学生对不同文学时期的科学把握,也有助于增强学习的趣味性和降低学习难度。
(二)改革英美文学课的教学模式
由传统的英美文学教材衍生出教师一言堂的“填鸭式”教学模式,英美文学教师在课堂上照本宣科,学生则疲于对这些知识死记硬背,根本谈不上自己对某一具体作品的见解和思考,更不用说对文学经典的鉴赏与文学情趣的提升。由于教材死板,授课方式墨守成规,英美文学课变成了精读课+历史课,学生学到的只是一些具体的语言知识点,而没有提升对文学文本的整体分析能力和感悟能力。英美文学教师可以尝试设计研究性课堂和实践教学模式。在英美文学课开始时,由教师推荐一些有关英美文学与文化的研究课题给学生进行研究,如维多利亚时代文学研究、美国梦文学研究、美国现代戏剧研究等。全班学生分成若干组,承担不同的课题,并在课堂上用幻灯片等方式陈述研究结果。另外,为了提高学生对英美文学作品的学习兴趣可以采取多渠道的实践教学活动,如举办英文诗歌朗诵比赛、英语戏剧表演、适时组织收看英文原版电影等。
(三)采用多媒体及计算机网络辅助教学手段
英美文学远离我们熟悉的母语环境和语言习惯,且跨越时代久远,陈旧、落后的“书+黑板+粉笔”的传统教学模式难以创设生动活泼的课堂教学情景,难以引起学生浓厚的学习兴趣。采用多媒体和计算机网络辅助课堂教学等现代化的教学手段有利于改革英美文学教学效果。目前多数高校普遍存在多媒体设施不足和设施陈旧等问题,高校应加强在这方面的投入,为多媒体及计算机网络辅助课堂教学模式的探索和推广铺平道路。
首先,借助多媒体和网络的课堂教学模式可以让抽象、晦涩的文学作品通过视频、音频等材料更生动、直接和立体地呈现在学生眼前耳边,可以提高学生的学习兴趣,活跃课堂气氛,从而改善英美文学课堂上沉闷、单调、枯燥的教师一言堂的顽疾,充分调动学生的学习积极性,开发学生的创造性思维,从而提升学生的学习效果。其次,借助多媒体和网络技术的教学模式,能更大限度地克服授课时间与授课场所的限制,有助于将学生的自主学习向课外有效延伸,实现学生的个性化自主学习与课堂教学的有效衔接。
多媒体和网络辅助教学形式下教师的角色发生了很大变化,对授课教师提出了更高的要求。教师必须深刻钻研材料,把握教学重点和难点,制定出明确的课堂教学目标,设计出为之服务的方案,确定有效传递教学信息的媒体类型和使用技巧,使媒体发挥更大的作用。授课教师要转变教学理念和方法,懂得设计以学生为主体的教学活动。教师应由原来的“以教为主”转变为“以学为主”,并通过培训等方式快速掌握现代化的教学方法,有效配合传统的教学方法,实现学生语言综合技能的提高。

隐喻的中西方文化差异Abstract: Metaphor is not only a linguistic phenomenon but also a way of thinking, which is one of the basic methods for human survival and cognition. It is rooted in language, thought and culture. Through the analysis and comparison of the use and concept of metaphor in different countries, we find that its universality and commonality of the metaphor as a basic human cognitive activities. However, metaphor in different languages reflects a different way of thinking and behavior and different cultural patterns. Owing to the different two modes of thinking and culture, there are some differences in understanding and formation that can not be ignored. Therefore, this paper will discuss the questions : metaphor, cross-cultural differences, translation. 1. Preamble Metaphor is a common phenomenon, a large number of people use metaphor to express his feelings and ideas. British scientists rhetoric Richards (IARichards) once said, "We have day-to-day in almost every conversation in three sentences may be a metaphor." According to statistics, life around the use of 4,700,000 new metaphor, 2,140,000 stereotypes of metaphor. Research in recent years, there is a great metaphor. This article introduced in the definition of metaphor on the basis of summing up the similarities and differences between Chinese and Western metaphor, and that its culture, precisely because of the prevalence of metaphor, how to translate metaphor has become a very important issue in the latter part of the article is aimed at The translation of metaphor put forward a translation of the three strategies. This paper studies aimed at trying to comparative analysis of English and Chinese in a large number of day-to-day language of metaphor to express, find out the differences and similarities, in order to be able to accurately translate the article in good metaphor to explore a little. This article is about the metaphor from the point of view to explore the differences in the way Thinking allows us to a deeper understanding of language, culture, the relationship between thinking and can more clearly understand the different ethnic language, culture, way of thinking, and so on On the nature of translation. 2. Metaphors in Chinese and Western studies In 1980, Lakoff & Johnson (George Lakoff & Mark Johnson) made a "living metaphor" (Metaphors We Live By) of the book, a modern metaphor to open a new chapter in the school. Domestic academia on the "metaphor" This is also a review of the system, such as Lin Wu's book "Study abroad metaphor Looking at the" beam-setting "metaphor research," Li of China and India "The main subjects Metaphor" and so on. However, the Chinese metaphor for the academic study of rare. "Chinese scholars on the study of metaphor, I am afraid the real contribution should be through the metaphor of the Chinese characteristics of research and study, through the metaphor of the Chinese and other languages in the comparative study of metaphor, metaphor for the establishment of a more general theory of the strong, and even unique The basis. "Lin Wu in the book" metaphor of the basic research the status quo, and the focus of the trend "in the main text, put forward a model of cultural metaphors with the relationship:" The language of metaphor is the emergence of expression into the system, which not only reflects the psychological Structure, but also reflect the different cultural models also play a role. " metaphor in the relationship between Chinese and Western cultures relationship Correspond to (corresponding) refers to the relationship between the two languages, English and Chinese in the meaning and metaphor in the use of the same meaning in the culture and image, and so on and-one mapping. This is because the survival of mankind itself, as well as all the external conditions, including the geographical environment, climate change, and the whole of human society and cultural background are certain there is a common, which formed a common humanity of their own and the outside world on many issues. In the "angry" mood, the English are angry that physiological responses, such as: grind one's teeth. (Teeth), bare one's teeth. (Ziyaliezui) an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. (an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth), reflecting the Chinese culture on the basis of common experience. non-correspondence English-Chinese metaphor, after all, rooted in two different languages on the soil, resulting in very different cultural backgrounds, fully corresponds to the few metaphors, the vast majority do not have common cultural identity in order to form the corresponding non-(non-corresponding ) Relations. Non-relationship metaphor can be roughly divided into three categories: Vehicle counterpart, Yu Yi does not correspond to English and Chinese in some cases there is the same as a metaphor, but in their own language and culture in the meaning of the metaphor means is different, even different. Peacock in the Chinese culture is auspicious, a symbol of beauty, especially the Dai people to express jumped Pavaner desire to better their own. If the Chinese people will be likened to a peacock, it means that beautiful light. However, in English, peacock (Peacock) is a symbol of pride, often interpreted as arrogance, love to show off. For example, They were eager to take the young peacock down a peg. (They want to pressure a pressure that the arrogant young guy's momentum). counterpart Yu Yi, the vehicle does not correspond to English-Chinese two nations due to their differences, from different angles to look at things the same, it will be a different analogy. As a result both English and Chinese language there is a different vehicle, but Yu was referring to was basically the same as the meaning of the case, that is the same kind of non-correspondence. Such as: a person described as the hearts of anxious, restless, Chinese is "ants on the hot pan" and English is "a cat on the bricks". There are similar: To kick down the ladder. Guohechaiqiao. Yu Yu Yi and do not correspond to Some of the metaphors Yu-Yu has a meaning and it refers to the language and culture are closely related, in another culture often can not find corresponding Yu and Yu Yi, which resulted in a culture known as the default Phenomenon. For example: in English "my rib" I am referring to Yu's wife, it comes from the "Bible" story, that is, Adam (Adam)'s wife Eve (Eve) God is with a piece of Adam's rib made. The Chinese did not, "the Bible" cultural background, and there was no analogy with rib habit, so the formation of a corresponding gap. Similarly, "ugly duckling" (Ugly Duckling) refers to the metaphor will get ahead of Little, "early bird" refers to the diligent Yu, in the words into Chinese language, culture, as a result of the default, can not find a corresponding relationship between metaphor . Chinese and Western cultures in the common metaphor Metaphor and culture to a large extent, human beings have a common understanding, rooted in the people's own day-to-day experience. In this connection, often between different ethnic groups are the same. Both English and Chinese language in a lot of abstract thinking that the metaphorical expression is the same. For example: the human child in the period to form a position on the concept of input in that direction in the form of many of them easily understood, including the position expressed by metaphor, which has become a fixed pattern of thinking. For example: The term direction (up, down) to describe people's social status, physical, emotional, and other abstract concepts to the case when the good is up; Sad is down. We Chinese are also not difficult to find a similar sentence: "Gas Prices "," enhance the social status "and" vision "and" depressed. " Since the objective laws of nature with the relative unity of different cultures to understand the nature of the course is similar to the cognitive experience. in the metaphor of the difference between Chinese and Western cultures As the English-Chinese geographical and cultural differences, living in two different cultures in practice there are a lot of differences, and different life experiences and let people understand the objective world, a different language carries different nationalities Cultural characteristics and cultural information. Understanding of metaphor is not out of socio-cultural backgrounds. For example, social and cultural impact of the color words is deep-rooted, some color words in different cultures in an entirely different meaning, has a distinctive feature of our national culture. Such as: English, said in green "inexperienced" and "shallow knowledge", such as: "a green hand", "I was very green when I started working there." The Chinese like to express the meaning of the word is "yellow" Such as: "Huangmaoyatou" and "flower girl". Cultural background knowledge is the metaphor to create a rich source of thinking, as the Eastern and Western cultures are different, metaphors in English and Chinese applications there are also significant differences. The metaphor of the cross-cultural differences between Chinese and Western influence Language is a cultural change in the development of the complex, subject to political, economic, historical, environmental and other factors. Chinese and Western styles are different, but in many ways to infiltrate interaction and integration, language differences and cultural metaphor for the inevitable impact is complex and diverse. metaphorical expression of cultural conflict Different nationalities in the world to observe a different perspective and ideas, different cultures there are a lot of conflict or inconsistency metaphor. If the animal metaphors, in English Long (dragon) is a kind of evil, will belch out smoke monster. "Bible", the dragon is the devil, is a symbol of evil and terror, there is a terrible vicious meaning. The Chinese dragon is in power, the auspicious symbol of Chinese traditional culture, the Chinese have "Wangzichenglong", "descendants of the Dragon." The same analogy in different cultures, different meaning, of two cultures "Dragon" to give a different connotation. differences in living conditions caused by differences in metaphor In English is a lot of metaphor and marine-related, such as: all at sea (at a loss what to do); drink like a fish (drinking cow); fish in the air (Shuizhonglaoyue); give up the ship (give up). In Chinese, there are a lot of the horse or cattle pose a metaphor, such as: "a willing ox" (a willing horse) Gan means to serve the community; "old ox" (a working horse) refers to the hard work; "bragging "(Talk horse), and so on. This is due to different geographical location and natural environment caused by different cultural metaphor. Britain is an island, ultimately, dependent on the sea, and China is a large agricultural country, farming culture deeply feudal society. different religious and cultural differences arising from the metaphor Religious culture of human culture is an important part of it by referring to the nation's religious beliefs, such as the formation of the sense of culture, "the Bible" in the story, with its language and meaning has become a feature of daily life in the West in terms of . For example, power of the keys (the keys to the kingdom of heaven; the rights of the Pope), in the right church, but in the wrong pew (in general is right, but not the details), and so on. Chinese culture and Buddhism, Taoism and more affected by the impact of Confucianism, the Chinese, there are a lot of related argot. "Jiehuaxianfo"; "临时抱佛脚"; "做一天和尚撞一天钟" and so on. It is due to the diversity of culture, resulting in the differences between English and Chinese metaphor. This difference to the cross-cultural communication has brought the impact. As a foreign language students, do not understand the difference between metaphor and language will make mistakes, sometimes mistakenly made good as pleasant, caused by either one or both of the conversation unpleasant; also sometimes mocked as a praise. When a native language other operators do not understand the language contained in the cultural differences, it is often difficult for such language to accurately convey the meaning of the understanding, difficulty to the cross-cultural exchange. 3. Metaphor of the three methods of translation The translation of metaphor not only accurately and effectively convey the original language, but also loyal, accessible, complete reproduction of the original language and cultural connotation and significance. But in the West because of cultural differences and different, so the translation of metaphor in English on the need to consider not only its literal sense, and so on, but also in the West should pay attention to their cultural differences. American Eugene Nida said: "Translation is the exchange between the two cultures. The real success of the translation, even more familiar with the two cultures is more important to master two languages. Because only in terms of its role in the culture In the background will only be meaningful. "Therefore, the translation of metaphor to combining Chinese and Western cultures, and cultural backgrounds to leave the translation, can not be achieved between the two languages of the real exchange. Literal Translation The so-called "literal" is asked in the language when conditions permit, in the translation to maintain the original content, but also to maintain the original form, in particular, to maintain the original metaphor, the image of the nation, and other local color. In the literal translation method to maintain the original expression of the culture and at the same time, target enriched the vocabulary and expression, such as: "a Pandora's box" (Pandora's Box); "chain reaction" (chain reaction). In the original text and asked the information contained in the same culture, we should adopt the literal translation method. (1) You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. : You are my sun, my only sunshine. In Chinese and English, the sun is warm, beautiful, in both languages, they disseminate information on culture are the same. As a rule, and asked in the original text in the form of grammatical structure, similar to the style or color on basically the same, the law should adopt the literal translation. (1) He is another Shylock. : He is also a Shylock. (Note: Shakespeare's Shylock is "The Merchant of Venice" in a very harsh mean business People. ) (2) To carry coals to Newcastle. : Coal to Newcastle. (Note: "Newcastle" is a British coal, coal is superfluous here.) 4. Conclusion Metaphor as a way to figures of speech or skills, a unique feature of grammar, which features make the sentence more flexible and constructive, but the United States. Is a metaphor to express more complex ideas and things, a powerful tool. Wherever and whenever people in their daily lives are often used metaphor. As Mr. Lin Zhuang said: "The metaphor is no longer expanding his knowledge and understanding of a passive process. To help us in the form of new knowledge, the metaphor has played an active role so that we can better a better understanding of the objective world." In English and Chinese Metaphorical significance of the difference is due to cultural differences between East and West, that mode of thinking, moral values and sense of difference. However, different cultural impact of what is the concept of metaphor, it is still a need to examine and address the problem. At the same time, in the metaphor of the process of translation must pay special attention to cultural differences. The best translation is to be able to accurately reflect the true meaning of the author, as well as its cultural and stylistic characteristics of the translation, that is, the translation of metaphor to make as much as possible the original language and to achieve the target language culture, and so on.
Western novels in comparison First, Western novels in the history of the development of Western novels are based on myths and legends of its origin. In ancient times, science developed, out of fear of nature, the working people out of the imagination is the key to many of the world "God", describing the personification of God is a myth; who will describe the deified, that is legend. China opened the world's Pan story, the story of San Juan Five Emperors, the West Greek mythology, Roman mythology, Norse mythology, and so on are all typical works. East and West, the original novel, is closely linked with the history, as historical records complement the event. China Pre-Qin prose in the fable, the Han dynasty in the history books, biographies, the Wei and Jin Zhi, Zhi-person novel; the West of ancient Babylon, "the United States and Ji Jia disabilities epic", in ancient Greece, "Homer's epic," "Aesop's Fables "And so on, fall into this category, fiction, novels such novels have been about the characteristics of fiction, it is still not the literary creation, directly from the private collection record, so this type of fiction plot is relatively simple, writing rough comparison. Ban Gu said, "On the Street Lane words, hearsay are made of" is a novel kind of accurate assessment of the image. China's Tang Dynasty, the novel is only from history and literature become a creativity. Tang Dynasty culture has developed, the author's ideas are more open, the legend came into being at this time, Li Zhaowei "Liu Yi Chuan", Po Chu's "Everlasting Regret," Wolf's "Everlasting Regret Chuan" And so on, are made in accordance with the creation of the legend. For the fictional story of the Tang Dynasty more emphasis on imagination and literary talent, not just the history of the nature of things, but as the history of Zhi Zhi who is also the novel did not stop. The Legend of the Song Dynasty to the novel on a gradual decline, which followed the rise of this so that after processing will become a scholar so many novel and Romance novels such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Outlaws of the Marsh", "Journey to the West." The author of such novels is the use of private creative and re-created to describe the circumstances of the touching scenes of brilliant and vivid active in shaping the character known, there are obvious story-telling style of language. Here by the redevelopment, it will become an independent literary creation rather than things to come together with the civil process, the representative of this type is the "Golden Lotus", it was an open and ordinary life on the road, the reality is that literature has come a long way The development of the latter's "A Dream of Red Mansions" in ancient China Geng Shiba realism to the novels of the summit. "54" after the novelist began to learn from China's western fiction writing practices, and gradually out a new path. Western novels, is the "Renaissance" after the rapid development of mature. The development of the Middle Ages novel near-stagnation in the West, 14, the end of the century "Renaissance" to overthrow the literature of the Church of control, 15, appeared in the western end of the century to promote freedom of thought and the liberation of personality in order to describe the reality of life and portray characters from all walks of life for the content of the Humanist novels, is to tie in with this type of novel anti-feudal Europe at the time of arising at the same time it also set the novel in the West to human describing the tone of the main things. Jiaqiu Italy's "Decameron", Spain's Cervantes "Don Quixote" is the kind of representative works of fiction. The resulting novel is a classical, elegant favor of its national language to standardize the writing of this novel in 17th century France's most well-developed. As a note on behalf of Corneille's "Cid" neoclassical story of the rise of Western novels have been a language substantially improved. The beginning of the 18th century to promote popular science knowledge, enlightenment of the public consciousness for the purpose of the Enlightenment novels, of which there are relatively well-known German Goethe's "Faust", the United Kingdom Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe" and the Swift "Gulliver's Travels" and so on, this type of novel to the emergence of the bourgeois revolution at the time to mold public opinion. In the 19th century, romantic fiction, realistic novels and critical realism novel turn to occupy the leading position in the field of fiction. Romantic novels, such as France Victor Hugo's "Notre Dame de Paris", Goethe's "juvenile Witt of trouble" and so on, imaginative, unusual ideas, language and imaginative, strong feelings. Efforts to reflect the reality of the novel is the essence of life, and depict typical life of a typical phenomenon in the United Kingdom Dickens, France and Germany are of such novels as a representative of the writer. Critical realism novels exposed the efforts of the decadent feudal system and capitalist society, the dark, in-depth criticism of the reality of evil, France Balzac and Maupassant, the United Kingdom of Charlotte, Bronte,. Russia's Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, the United States of a large number of writers such as Mark Twain's works belong to this category. Value today, the three novels in the West is still the most important of the three types of literary fiction. East-West novel on the history of the development of more or less the case. Second, the characteristics of the novel in the West In addition to the basic characteristics of the novel, the story of the West also have their own characteristics are as follows: 1, the traditional Chinese novel attention to the characters, language and the details of the description, in contradiction to the conflict to display the images, but the character of a single, small changes in the absence of the main flu. Western novels are more people pay attention to the psychological description, stressed that mining figure in the subconscious mind, good at writing full, the changes in the strong sense of the main characters. Again, "coach Lin Feng Snow Mountain Temple" in the figure is only through dialogue and action leads to contradictions and conflicts, but Anna Karenina Wogui before a series of conflicts only with his description of the psychological will be able to express their clear; for poetry in Lin In the performance of her literary talent, and Paul with his inner monologue of the ideal; Zhang Zhong-Yong has only the character, but Jane Eyre's character is the brave, strong, warm, kind-hearted, and so many of the character and rubbing and Cheng's. In short, people in the area described in the West has its own unique features. 2, China compared with Western fiction novel plot twists and turns more and more complete story. Plot twists and turns, the story is complete fiction China's unique traditional arts. The Wei and Jin Zhi Zhi people on the novel twists and turns with vivid characteristics. Tang legend in the layout of many of the famous, magnificent anomaly, rigorous and clever, dramatic plot development. The contents of the Ming and Qing Dynasties novels scattered irregular, undulating waves, Cuoluoyouzhi, careful structure, an integral whole. "A Dream of Red Mansions", everywhere She Fu, Hui turning point, the story of Jia's best writing. Western plot in respect of the outstanding works, although there are many, but it can not be compared with the Chinese novel. 3, concise and lively Chinese language novel, rich in content and rich Western novels. Chinese folk artists absorbed the novel language, at the same time inherited the fine traditions of ancient prose, often a few words will be able to outline the incident or the people. Western novels in the author includes a broad range of knowledge, involve the community in many ways, so rich in content and rich people can gain knowledge in many areas. Engels said he was in Balzac's novel about 19th century France's domestic situation than he received any reports are more. Western novels have different characteristics, and also in the West different aesthetic concepts to a certain extent related. 4, Western novels have been the rule of the feudal culture of oppression destroyed. Chinese feudal culture makes the development of the novel is extremely difficult, Ming and Qing Dynasties more people to write stories for shame, so many great writers living, creating the conditions are not covered, many of the great works of authors who do not know. Western novels in the feudal culture makes almost the whole of the Middle Ages in the development of extremely slow, and many talented writers were forced to church services, wrote some of the religious nature of the article dry hole. Third, Western novels in the future prospects for the development of End of the Qing Dynasty, China and the West have begun to understand the other side of the system, the advantages of the novel in the West have been constantly learn from each other. Of course, due to historical reasons, the Chinese side of the draw a little more. To this day, the novelist in the West efforts are still two researchers in the novel's artistic charm, although the different languages of each other's appreciation of the arts to a certain extent, but the United States are interlinked. We have every reason to believe that in the near future, the novel art in the West will ultimately learn from each other and integrate, develop and reach new artistic heights.

Chinese and Western cultural differences in the performance of every aspect of daily life from the greeting 、 term diet and cultural differences in the way of thinking in the abstract, such as differences everywhere, from the West focus on the following colors to express the difference between Chinese and Western cultural differences in areas such as a wedding set. First, in the West to express the color difference Different colors in different languages is not expressed in the same way. The representative of China in a sense, the West has a meaning that even the "color" to understand the meaning of the contrary. (A) red (red) Whether in China or in the English-speaking countries, often in red and festive celebrations or day-related. Calendar, red font used these days, therefore, red letter day: refers to the "Day" or "happy occasion." It also refers to the red "liabilities" or "loss" because people are always negative in red to register. So there are these phrases: red figure deficit in the red loss In common with the Chinese "red" words, translated into English, may not necessarily use the "red" for example: brown sugar brown sugar red wine red wine (B) yellow Yellow in English and Chinese in the extended meaning of the differences are considerable. In English, yellow can be said that the "timid, cowardly, despicable," meaning, for example: a yellow dog despicable, cowardly people a yellow livered coward Chinese yellow symbol of the term is sometimes vulgar, vulgar and obscene, indecent indecency means, such as yellow film, erotica, yellow CD, and so on. These in the name of "yellow" in English and "yellow" has nothing to do. However, in another English word blue is the color used to indicate the kind of meaning in Chinese, such as the blue jokes (dirty joke), blue films (yellow film). Second, the cultural differences in Western wedding First of all, in Western wedding culture and the first in the West in thinking about the differences: the Chinese people more conservative, like excitement, more old-fashioned thinking, so in the history of China for thousands of years the entire wedding customs did not change much. The thinking in the West is more open to the requirements of the wedding will be lower, they will be the climax of the wedding in the church: the sacred as the "wedding march" into the red carpet, Jiao Mei's father, the bride linked hands Rose walked slowly to the groom, the bride's father, daughter to the groom's hand on hand, her daughter's life will be entrusted to the groom, all eyes followed the couple, filled with well-being in their face. Second, the result of cultural differences wedding in the West because the West in a different religion. China is mainly Buddhist, but the West is mainly Christian. Therefore, the Western wedding is to be held in the church and the priest is Zhuhun Ren. China's traditional customs of the most important part of the Bai Tiandi is, the worship heaven and earth even after the ceremony has become.中西方文化差异表现在方方面面,从日常生活的打招呼用语、饮食文化等差异到思维方式等抽象方面的差异无所不在,下面着重从中西方颜色表达的差异,中西方婚礼文化差异等方面阐述。 一、中西方颜色表达的差异 不同颜色在不同语言中表达的方式并不一样。在中国代表一种意义,在西方又表示一种涵义,甚至对“颜色”的涵义理解恰恰相反。(一)red(红色)无论是在英语国家还是在中国,红色往往与庆祝活动或喜庆日子有关。日历中,这些日子常用红色字体,因此,red letter day:指的是“纪念日”或“喜庆的日子”。红色还指“负债”或“亏损”,因为人们总是用红笔登记负数。于是就有了这些词组:red figure赤字 in the red亏损汉语中常用的带“红”字的词语,翻译成英语,可不一定用“red”例如:红糖brown sugar 红酒red wine (二) yellow黄色在英语和汉语中的引申含义差别比较大。英语中,yellow可以表示“胆小、卑怯、卑鄙”的意思,例如:a yellow dog 可鄙的人,卑鄙的人a yellow livered 胆小鬼汉语中黄色一词有时象征低级趣味、色情庸俗、下流猥亵的意思,如黄色电影、黄色书刊、黄色光碟等等。这些名称中的“黄”与英语中的“yellow”无关。然而,英语中另一个颜色词blue却常用来表示汉语中这类意思,如blue jokes(下流的玩笑), blue films(黄色电影)等。 二、中西方婚礼文化差异 首先,中西方婚礼文化差异首先和中西方人在思维方面的差异有关:中国人比较保守,喜欢热闹,思维较古板,所以在中国历史几千年的时间里整个婚礼的习俗并没有多大的变化。而西方人的思想则比较开放,对于婚礼的要求也比较低,他们婚礼的高潮则是在教堂中:随着神圣的《婚礼进行曲》步入鲜红的地毯,娇美的新娘挽着父亲手捧玫瑰慢慢向新郎走去,新娘的父亲将女儿的手放在新郎的手上,将女儿的一生托付给新郎,所有人的目光注视着这对新人,幸福洋溢在他们的脸上。其次,造成中西方婚礼文化差异的原因是中西方不同的宗教。中国是以佛教为主,而西方则是基督教为主的。所以西方的婚礼是在教堂中举行而主婚人则是神甫。中方的传统婚俗中的最重要环节就是拜天地,拜了天地以后就算是礼成了。
