1 Introduction
Language is the most important tool and main form for human to communicate. It is also a significant part of the culture. Through language, human conveys different ideas to each other which play a crucial role in promoting cultural prosperity and development and enhancing the relationship among different countries. Owing to a variety of reasons, the West and China have such differences. We know, different cultural background and cultural traditions make the West and China a considerable difference in the way of thinking, values, codes of conduct and lifestyle. Chinese and Western culture are really distinctive from sprouting and developing. We focus on group relations and the overall role, advocating the theory of the extended family; but the West stress on individual ability and heroism, advocating long live freedom. Although people have similar recognition of some general concepts, there are still many selectivity and differences. Every nation is rooted in their own cultures. Therefore, people may be confused about others’ behavior during the communication, or even think it is incredible. Politeness is regarded as one of the most important guidelines underlying human behavior. ,英语论文 |
