中美广告文化英文期刊投稿

今天，我演讲用的语言不是我的母语，但在我的心中，这种语言已经成为了我的第二母语。她为我打开一扇体验新世界的门，一扇观察新世界的窗。她让我可以挣大我的双眼，从一个全新的角度来看待这个世界。语言真的是一项宝贵的财富。当我们与自己的朋友家人在自己的国家里，用我们熟悉的本国语言随心所欲地交流时，我们可能并没有认识到语言的重要性。但是，正是语言让我们可以互相交流，互相学习。这一点在南大-霍大中美中心得到了最好的证明。 当我美国的老师和朋友问我中心的生活怎么样时，他们不可避免地会问一个问题：“你的中文有进步吗？”我常常不知道该怎么回答这个问题，因为答案很复杂。在中心，国际学生的目标语言是汉语，尤其是普通话，中国学生的目标语言是英语，尤其是美式英语。但是，好像我们大多数人都没有能很好地实现这个目标。因为在中心，我们都在讲着同一种特殊的语言：中心语言。因此，我告诉我美国的老师，我不知道我的普通话有没有进步，但是我的中心语言非常流利。 来到中心的第一天，我们的世界里就同时夹杂着中文和英文。黄主任和杨主任给我们做报告，但他们完全不需要翻译！整个报告厅里都是至少能说两种语言的人。我们与室友谈话时，中文夹着英文，英文中有着中文。每一种语言都不会使用超过五分钟。午餐时激情洋溢的辩论，中心人乐在其中，外人可能就要花一段时间来听明白了。在不知不觉中，美国学生说英语的时候似乎也不能摆脱中文了。例如，When you 碰到 a really 麻烦 situation, it’s just… 麻烦。春假时，有同学的美国朋友来中心，但一开始他们完全听不明白中心美国同学间的谈话，因为这种谈话里已经有着深深地中心语言的烙印。 但这种双语的环境意义远远不在于它很好玩。来中心的客人往往惊诧于中心有多么特别。这就是中心特别的原因，在我们用多种语言交流的时候，我们开始真正理解对方。任何只说一种语言的人是难以想象我们在一起是如何交流的。正由于此，我们可以更深刻、更全面地去评价和思考他人的价值观。这并不是说我们的观点是一致的，恰恰相反，分歧永远存在。或者说，正是因为互相了解，我们才能发现更多的不同。但是互相理解和尊重是共同努力解决这些不同的关键，在分歧的基础上实现一致。或许如中国的那句古话所说“和而不同”。当我们在学习他国的政治经济文化法律的时候，我们永远不应该忘记，不管我们学了多少理论，背了多少公式，我们都要和彼此交流。不管我们认为自己是多么正确，我们应该去努力理解他人。而达到这个目标的最好方式就是说对方的语言。 我对中心的最初的了解就是中心希望将来美国的国务卿和中国的外交部长都是中心的校友。我敢打赌，他们将来见面的时候，一定在说着一种共同的语言：中心语言。 谢谢大家。Today, my speech with language is not my mother tongue, but in my heart, this language has become my second language. Her for me to opengate experience new world of door, a door to observe the new window. She let I could earn a self's eyes, from a new perspective on the world. Language really is a valuable wealth. When we with their friends and family in his own country, by our familiar national language follow one's inclinationsly exchange, we may not realize the importance of language. However, it is the language that we can communicate with each other and learn from each other. This point in ntu - huo big sino-us center got the best proof. When I American teachers and friends asked me about life, center they will inevitably ask a question: "you of the Chinese have progress?" I often don't know how to answer this question, because the answer is very complex. International students in the center, the target language is Chinese, especially mandarin, Chinese students in the target language is English, especially American English. But, like most of us are not can well realize this goal. Because in the center, we are talking about the same kind of special language: center language. So, I told my American teacher, I don't know if my mandarin if any progress, but my center language very fluently. Come into the center of the first day, our world will also mingled with Chinese and English. Huang director and Yang director to give us a report, but they do not need a translator! The whole reporting hall is at least can speak two languages. Our conversation with a roommate, Chinese clip, English has a Chinese. Each language has not use more than five minutes. Lunch is full of excitement of debate, center, stranger may be people enjoy it takes a while to get it. Unconsciously, American students speak English also seems to cannot be rid of Chinese. For example, you encounter a painters amongst situation, it 's trouble match... Trouble. Spring break, some classmates of American friends come to center, but at first they completely couldn't understand center American classmates conversation, because this kind of deep in conversation already has a center of language mark. But this bilingual environment far lies not in it is fun. To center the guests often wonder at center how special. This is center in our special reason, with a variety of language exchange, we start to really understand each other. Any only say a language people are hard to imagine that we together is how exchanges. Because of this, we can more deeply, more comprehensively to evaluate and think others values. This is not to say that our point of view is consistent, on the contrary, differences exist forever. Or, it is precisely because understand each other, we can find more different. But mutual understanding and respect is joint efforts to solve these different key, in differences on the basis of realizing consistent. Perhaps such as China that old sayings said "and different". When we study other countries in politics, economy, culture, law, we should never forget that no matter how much we learn how much formula theory, back, we must all and talk to each other. No matter how we think we are correct, we should go trying to understand others. And to achieve this goal is the best way to say their own language. I know the original of center is the center of the United States secretary of state and in future, China's foreign minister is center of the alumni. I bet they will meet, must be in speaks a common language: center language. Thank you all.

10 Major Cultural Differences Between China and the United States of AmericaIt is always interesting to study other cultures, and it is extremely important to do just that if you are going to have interactions with them. You don’t want to insult someone, embarrass yourself, and your own culture. Sincere study of a culture is the only way to truly appreciate the differences.These differences do not make either culture better or worse than the other one. It just shows their differences which has been created through centuries of history and development. China can trace their traditions and customs for thousands of years. America is still a nation that has had very few traditions of its own, but has become such a melting pot of cultures that there is almost no specific American culture. This makes both cultures unique, worthy of study, and respect.So, being an American what do I see as the 10 biggest cultural differences between the two countries? American culture used to be much more concerned with moral behavior, respect, and reputation. Unfortunately, we have fallen far from what we once were.1. Social Structure – In China the social structure is formal and hierarchical(分等级的）. You know where you fit in the structure and you abide by the rules there. There is no crossing into other areas. In America, it is much more loose and informal. It is not uncommon to see those of various social levels socializing and knowing each other. There are very few lines that socially are not allowed to be crossed. This can cause problems in business relationships if the visiting culture is unaware of it.2. Confrontation/Conflict– If you are planning on conducting business in China or expecting an extended stay, it might be useful to know that the direct way that most Americans approach issues is not the way to go in China. Direct conflict or confrontation（对质） over issues is highly frowned upon. Doesn’t matter that the “truth” needs to be spoken, respect and honor to each person supersedes that. To prove a point and show yourself in the right even over business issues is considered shameful and should be avoided.3. Self –The Chinese looks more at the group collective than at individualism. America has become known for its push of individualism which has been a source of conflict with other cultures that look collectively. A person from China is more prone to look at how their acts affect the whole instead of how it affects them personally. They are more willing to give up and sacrifice for the greater good. America’s individualism has been its backbone and the reason for its success as a world power, but when visiting China it needs to be reined in.4. Face/Reputation– Reputation of the individual is very important in China. If an action will humiliate someone or ruin a reputation, it is avoided. When shame occurs, the person sacrifices their job or whatever it is that will heal the shame. In America, reputations come and go overnight and in the end usually does not matter. The end result is more of the focus. A person is more likely to overlook a reputation to get the job done.5. Business Relations – When doing business in China, be prepared for much socializing. Business becomes secondary as the parties get to know each better. If it delays a contract, that is perfectly acceptable as long as the correct social time is allotted for. In America, business associates are usually more aloof. There might be some social gathering but the business is more important and the socializing will be sacrificed to get the job done if needed. Though there seems to be shift in America regarding this. The recognition of networking is becoming more pronounced.6. Morals –Chinese society places high values on the morals of their people. Marriage is not encouraged until the late twenties. In fact, dating is discouraged early in a young adult’s life and proprieties are expected to be held up. The American culture is much more relaxed and some could even argue that there needs to be more moral emphasize.7. Recognition of the Dead – One of the time honored traditions of the Chinese is the recognition of the dead. Once a year, all members of a family visit the gravesites of each ancestor and pay their respects. Honoring ancestors is very important in Chinese culture. This is in direct contrast to most Americans who rarely know where the majority of their ancestors are laid to rest. This might be due to the fact that most Americans are immigrants who either have lost the information on grave locations or the locations are in foreign countries. China’s culture is much older and the percentage of immigration is far less.8. Humility –Humility is a revered virtue in Chinese culture. The success of one’s business or personal life is downplayed while in America the successes are lauded. Most Americans in the fast business world consider humility a sign of weakness. This can be an issue that hurts inter-cultural relations. Be very sensitive to comments and actions in the presence of another culture.9. Time Sensitivity – Crossing cultures for business can be frustrating when it interferes with getting the job done. Most Americans are very time sensitive when it comes to meetings and deadlines. If the meeting was to commence at 2:00, then all parties are to be present at that time. The Chinese do not view time as an absolute but more as a suggestion. Concern is not expressed for a meeting starting late or ending at a different time. The same can be applied to deadlines. If a report is due on Friday, an American would be waiting for that report to be received before end of business day. The Chinese would not worry if it showed up several days later.10. Respect –Being sensitive to another person’s needs is very important in Chinese culture. It is expected that you will respect the other person and treat them well.
