1.中西文化差异英语论文(3000字以上)
一、引言 文化,这两种孕育自不同半球的文化,由于历史、地理环境、生产制度等方面的原因,有着极大的差异,截然不同的特色。
这两种文化差异,一直备受关注。随着全球化的到来,全世界各民族间商业交流往来的日益频繁,了解中西方文化价值差异可以更好促进民族间经济、文化交流与沟通,从而避免所引起的不必要的误会和麻烦,导致的文化休克(culture shock)或交际失败(communication failure)。
而语言是文化的载体,是文化的一部分,很大程度上反映了文化。谚语作为“民族文化之明镜”,来自于生活,更深刻地反映了民族文化特色,体现了人们的生产生活、思想观念、文化取向,具有持久的生命力、广泛的通俗性、生动的口语化的特点。
英国著名学者培根曾说过:“The genius, wit and spirit of a nation are discovered in its proverbs.”(一个民族的天才、智慧和精神,都可以在其谚语中发现。)本文将从汉英谚语入手谈谈中西文化在地理环境、宗教信仰、历史、文学传统、民族性格、思想观念等方面的差异。
二、地理环境 文化是在一定的自然环境里生发出来的。人们所生存的不同环境势必影响人 们的生活、生产方式,影响人们对客观外界的观察与思考。
人们以通俗形象的语言来讲述自己的生活体验,描述自然现象,总结生产实践,概括生产经验。这些语言口口相传,千锤百炼,成为大家喜闻乐诵的谚语。
这些谚语必然反映出自然环境的不同特征,带有鲜明的地域文化和生态文化的色彩。 英国是个岛国,四面环海,海岸线曲折多变,港湾楔入,岛屿众多。
这样的自然环境给英国人提供了舟楫之便。人们在长期的航运渔业生活中,创造出数以百计的英语谚语,反映他们对生活及大自然的体验和观察。
如: There's as good fish in the sea as ever come out of it.有了大海,还怕没鱼。 No fishing like fishing in the sea.捕鱼要到大海。
Who will not be ruled by the rudder must be ruled by the rock.船离舵,要闯祸。 A dog in the morning,sailors take warning; a dog in the night is the sailors' delight.朝虹出天际,水手心事重,夜间见彩虹,水手乐哈哈。
He goes a great voyage that goes to bottom of the sea.到达海底的人,才算做了一次远航。 特殊的地理环境形成了特有的岛国气候。
英国气候潮湿,天气变化大,岛上晴天少,雨天多,且多阵雨,因此,英国人出门常带把雨伞。由于英国天气变化无常的缘故,英国人非常关心天气,也喜欢谈论天气,并因此而产生了许多关于天气的谚语[1](P85): April weather, rain and shine both together.一边日出一边雨,晴雨无常四月天。
An English summer, three(or two)hot days and a thunderstorm.英国的一个夏季,三(两)个热天一阵大雷雨。 A misty morning may have a fine day.早晨有雾露,可能是晴天。
When the wind's in the west, the weather's at the best.风从西方起,天气最佳丽。 而处于另一个半球的中国则有着不同的地理自然风貌,中华文明发源于长江黄河流域,中国自古是典型的农耕社会,人们过着自给自足的农耕生活,农业是国民经济的重要支柱,农业在历代政府中都受到极大的重视。
因此产生了许多与农业相关的谚语。 如:庄稼百样巧,地是无价宝。
人勤地不懒,勤奋谷仓满。 田里无神无鬼,全靠肥料土水。
庄稼老汉不知闲,放下锄头拿扁担。 农夫不种田,城里断炊烟。
田像一块铁,在于人来打。[2](P240-241) 我国的天气谚语,从量上、质上,以及悠久的历史传统上,值得称道。
如“灶烟往下埋,不久雨就来”、“春天孩儿脸,一日变三变”、“太阳颜色黄,明日大风狂”、“久晴大雾必阴,久雨大雾必晴”、“夜里星光明,明朝仍旧晴”等等。[1](P85) 三、特定历史 每个民族都以不同的方式在人类历史的画卷中写着自己特定的历史。
从谚语中可以一窥历史风云变化。英国从十六世纪开始发展资本主义,经济迅速发展并逐渐开始迅速向海外扩张,掠夺资本主义原料,进行资本主义的原始积累。
Shoe-maker's wife goes bare feet.这句谚语正是出自于十六世纪资本主义新兴时期,小资本家拼命发家致富,属于手工业者的鞋匠们为积攒钱财,竟然连给妻子买鞋穿的钱都不舍得花。十七世纪起英国在东印度扩张,十八世纪中叶建立殖民统治。
He came safe from the East –India, and was drowned in the Thames.他从东印度安然归来,却淹死于泰晤士河。[3](P79)英国历史上曾遭到多次其他国家的入侵。
罗马统治期间,社会生活罗马化,拉丁语是官方、法律、商业和法律用语。丹麦人侵占期间,丹麦语也传入英国。
1066年法国诺曼底登陆后,英国为法国所征服。 法语很长时期成为英国的官方语言,贵族、朝臣、地主和上流社会都使用法语,如当时的英国国王爱德华是完全不会说英语的国王,因此有英谚云:Jack would be a gentleman if he could speak French.要是杰克能讲法语,那他就是个绅士了。
而三种语言交配混合到英语中,充实了英语语言,也带来了许多拉丁语、法语谚语。[1](P84) Anger is a short madness .愤怒是短暂的疯狂。
(拉丁语) Art is long, life is short. 艺术是无限,生命是有限的。(拉丁语。

3.英语专业论文
我也是才忙完毕业论文。
个人认为从中西方文化差异这个角度比较好写。比较文化异同是相对于其他方法好驾驭的。
我的毕业论文题目是:电影《喜福会》所表现的中西方文化差异。 毕竟学语言的,关键还是在于解决跨文化交际的障碍。
关于《秘密花园》,是女作家伯内特的代表作挖~这书是挺畅销的,小说的情节丰富,不过很难从文化方面来写。 小公主,我觉得可能要好写点。
毕业论文要求的字数一般在3000-6000,所以我觉得最好找比较能写得多点的那种题目。 我把我们系上给的文化类题目给你,你可以参考看看哈! 英美人文和历史研究: 1,从跨文化的角度谈汉英思维及表达方式的差异 2,论美国垮掉的一代 3,美国牛仔的成功之路 4,文艺复兴在英国文学史中的作用 5,跨文化交际中英汉礼貌与面子 6,中西方饮食文化的对比研究 7,西方节日的变迁及文化内涵 8,电影《喜福会》所表现的中西方文化差异(我就是这粻攻纲纪蕺慌告苇梗俩个题目) 9,中美教育制度及教育理念的对比研究 10,英汉称谓的差异及其文化内涵 11,希腊神话对英美文化的影响 12,英汉商标对英美文化的影响 13,英语习语与西方文化 14,浅谈英美姓氏的起源及文化内涵 15,中美高等教育大众化路径的比较 16,《阿甘正传》承载的美国青年文化 17,《阿甘正传》美国传统价值观的呼唤与回归 18,浅谈美国文化中的实用主义 19,论美国宗教与政治 20,《圣经》的文学性及其对中西文学的影响评述 选题注意事项: 1,选你自己感兴趣的题目,毕业论文是个浩大的工程,要是不能写自己想写的,相信我,在这漫长的写作时间里,你会相当痛苦的。
2,题目不能太大,也不能太小,否则不好驾驭。最好是那种“从小角度看大问题”的题目。
例如,我写喜福会这部电影,电影体现了中美文化差异,分别有婚姻观,家庭教育观等。但是我以一部电影为出发点,这个角度就比较小。
话说中西方文化的差异实在太多了,但是我只从喜福会这部电影出发,所以范围就缩小了。再者,没什么人写这个电影,所以也不容易和别人雷同,不是被写滥了的题目。
3,这个题目是好找资料的,毕竟是本科论文,不是研究生或是博士的论文,写作水平有限,平时最多写写几百字的作文忽然要写几千字,想必是非常困难的。所以内容不可能完完全全出自“自己”,于是就要大量的从网上,参考书上,图书馆搬来。
所以最好就是找参考资料比较多的题目,切忌是参考,不是照搬,可以PARAPHRASE里面的内容到自己的论文。 差不多就这些了,我觉得这几点是最重要的,如果你有几个拿不定主意的题目,可以找论文指导老师问问看,当时我开笔写论文前,都找老师问了,老师比较有经验,他应该可以给你很多建议。

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.

How to understand the Western food culture! In the United States on September 11, the memory of this day is the most horrible day in this year's Nanjing operation today as a Western cultural industries were the most sad day. Express has a modern written like this: the French took 300 years of wine which only then removed out of the little sugar, and we are against the drink with Sprite! Distorted by people in the spending habits of kidnapped Chinese-style, the wine culture of the West 300 years it was transformed into the Chinese version! Plus drink wine consumers in China meet among the wine won the market, but wine culture, but constantly get lost in this submission. I believe you see here will certainly be a lot of emotion! That is the Chinese people did not taste too, something the West can not accept, Tai Su! In fact, I as a Western chef have different views! I think that this is not the consumer's problem is that we in this industry workers inside the failure and humiliation, a wealth of material life in this era, the Western diet is still relatively high and new consumption patterns, it is necessary to guide the correct , instead of misleading and deceptive! Mentioned in the press gathered in the name of a bar in Nanjing, rum iced tea, green tea, whiskey, such advertising, overwhelming! Is true and it is not a member of the operator understand wine? Or there is any other? With my analysis: first, interest, real know how to drink wine, then drink four or five hours no problem, because people understand the wine tasting a good wine can be a lot of fruit products and flowers, and even products out quality of the human soul growing grapes. You will not use our expansive way about China's drunk! In this case the bar is on the sales potential of reducing consumption, while affecting the turn table and the average consumption rate, then the people who know how to drink wine, he drank alcohol would be out. If it is against drink wine? Tell you: the gods are not to drink! (You should have tried our fraud capabilities, eggs can be made, our ability to admit) that alcohol has on the market, the interests of the operators even Dahua! Finally, workers in this industry under the rules of the market potential it had to lower your head high, in order to survive and succumb to the money under the authority and contrary to your basic professional ethics and your conscience! However, Nanjing is really no good bartenders and a few tasters! There are unspoken rules, or unemployment at home, who would pay big bucks to you to tell the guests what is real wine! Slowly goods! Anyway, few know how to Nanjing, just put forward a liquor bar staff to talk about the good looking, cheap, get 1500 and 1800, a good bottle of red wine to make up the boss happy he was happy, because he could only do half of the bar, not an apprentice full! He dared call it division bartenders. We think this can be said that the Chinese people do not understand Western culture? Can say that the Chinese wine consumption kidnapping of Western culture? Could it be that all you managers and workers in the industry without responsibility? You only know that in the western industry to make money, you have the promotion of food culture in the West to make points for offering it? No, it does not matter, but you can not twist this culture. Chinese consumers misled you also deceived them, when they "wine" awakening when you know what it took under the guidance of the cost of expensive fool, they will become your customers? They will get money that Western culture is the culture of wine, while others will reject Western culture. He will not know do not want to know! I said above, the view of Western culture, wine, not to say I have any modern express dissatisfaction, and I think the author is saying something for those who love the voice of Western culture, let us once again gain a deeper understanding of wine culture! Some may say that we Worship, so I Worship, Worship Nothing bad? Foreigners a good thing we have to worship, so we have the ambition, will do better, but I do not capitulation! In fact, I was not very understanding of wine, I am a Western cook, I did not take long to Nanjing, I see this very feeling after report! Not only does it give the wine while in Nanjing embarrassment to say the whole of Western cultural industries in Nanjing, the embarrassment, of course, this has included food and beverage. Western would like to know it? Nanjing operators want to know how misleading and deceptive and cook your meal called the Western? Western would like to know "should be simple meal, a handful of Nanjing grid called the restaurant to" the 。

the differences in manners and customs between Chinese and western cultures.
The old saying: “When in Rome, do as the Romans” is not sufficient for bridging the communication gap and cultural differences between China and the western countries.What is considered "mannerly" is highly susceptible to change with time, geographical location, social stratum, occasion, and other factors. When exploring the differences in communication manners and customs, we set them mainly into three parts: manner and culture; communication manner and table manner. Considering the roots of these differents, histirical and regional causes might took the significant places. Therefore, a cross culture environment and a cross culture mind do lead to the better understanding in today's communication.

Published in 1847, WUTHERING HEIGHTS was not well received by the reading public, many of whom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnatural--and author Emily Bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure. It was not until 1850, when WUTHERING HEIGHTS received a second printing with an introduction by Emily's sister Charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership. And from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back. Today it is widely recognized as one of the great novels of English literature. Even so, WUTHERING HEIGHTS continues to divide readers. It is not a pretty love story; rather, it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caught up in obsessive love that turns to dark madness. It is cruel, violent, dark and brooding, and many people find it extremely unpleasant. And yet--it possesses a grandeur of language and design, a sense of tremendous pity and great loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written. The novel is told in the form of an extended flashback. After a visit to his strange landlord, a newcomer to the area desires to know the history of the family--which he receives from Nelly Deans, a servant who introduces us to the Earnshaw family who once resided in the house known as Wuthering Heights. It was once a cheerful place, but Old Earnshaw adopted a "Gipsy" child who he named Heathcliff. And Catherine, daughter of the house, found in him the perfect companion: wild, rude, and as proud and cruel as she. But although Catherine loves him, even recognizes him as her soulmate, she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station. She instead marries another, and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all. WUTHERING HEIGHTS is a bit difficult to "get into;" the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting. But they feed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way, setting the stage for one of the most remarkable structures in all of literature, a story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations. Catherine and Heathcliff are equally remarkable, both vicious and cruel, and yet never able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally one may wound the other. As the novel coils further into alcoholism, seduction, and one of the most elaborately imagined plans of revenge it gathers into a ghostly tone: Heathcliff, driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who seems reflected in every part of his world--dragging her corpse from the grave, hearing her calling to him from the moors, escalating his brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade, so that she may never leave his mind until death itself. Yes, this is madness, insanity, and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond. Many people in the world are trying to find a perfect companion.Some of these may marry and not know what their new husband or wife is like.This kind of situation often leads to separation or hostility. Other situations may develop between two friends that stem from jealousy, desire for revenge, uncaring parents, etc. Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights displays several characteristics of destructive relationships. Three of these are uncaring parents, marriage without knowing the person, and jealousy. Uncaring or unsympathizing parents are shown throughout this story to be an element of destructive relationships. Because Heathcliff gained all the attention from Mr. Earnshaw, Hindley became disassociated from his father. This separation continued until after Mr. Earnshaw had died.Another example is between Hindley and Hareton. Hindley became such a drunk and a gambler that he could not properly care for young Hareton. This led to a separation between Hareton and his father as well. One primary example of an uncaring parent is shown between Heathcliff and his son Linton.Heathcliff did not even want his son for anything except enacting a part of his revenge. This is shown by Linton's fear of Heathcliff and Heathcliff's enmity toward his son. Linton even says "。
my father threatened me, and I dread him - I dread him!"(244) to express his feeling about Heathcliff.The hostility and separation between father and son in this book shows that uncaring parents can cause serious damage in relationships with their children. This element of destructive behavior may stem from an unhappy marriage in which the husbands or wives don't know each other. This had happened between Isabella and Heathcliff. Isabella did not really 。
