40、類</p><p>　　根據(jù)英國語言學(xué)家珍妮托馬斯的角度來看,跨文化語用失誤可分為社會語用語誤和語用失誤的兩種類型。托馬斯認(rèn)為,語用語言的出現(xiàn)通常是由于錯誤的形式對外語學(xué)習(xí)者或演講者或聽眾產(chǎn)生錯誤的翻譯信息。語用語誤是因?yàn)樯鐣幕Z用學(xué)是由于缺乏能力不能理解特別的文化內(nèi)涵。具體地說,社會語用失誤是由于不同的文化背景而導(dǎo)致語言的不理解。例如下面的例子,一個中國學(xué)生和美國學(xué)生到圖書館去，美國朋友看了一本雜志,他說:&

42、要是中美文化的多樣性。這主要體現(xiàn)在以下幾個方面。</p><p><b>　　(A)價值差異</b></p><p>　　首先,中國文化提倡集體主義,而美國的文化,價值觀提倡個人主義。在中國,人們之間相互信任,團(tuán)結(jié)合作,當(dāng)個人利益和集體利益的沖突,集體利益總是第一位。在確定的個人行為之前,它們常常基于倫理的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),聚焦在和諧、集團(tuán)利益的維護(hù)上。美國人相信個人的自由,強(qiáng)調(diào)

43、個人的潛能的發(fā)揮,個人的目標(biāo)和個人利益的追求</p><p>　　第二,輩份的想法在中西文化中是不同的,美國人更注重個人權(quán)利、追求所有人的平等。在中國,年輕的一代必須尊重他們的長輩,學(xué)生應(yīng)該尊重老師。在美國文化中軟弱的層次。兒童、家長、學(xué)生的老師都平等的, 美國的孩子們可以對長輩提出他們自己的個人想法。</p><p>　　(B)社會習(xí)俗上的差異</p><p>　

44、　在社會習(xí)俗方面，中西方也有一個巨大的文化差異。當(dāng)中國人喜歡問交談,對方的年齡、收入、婚姻狀況和兒童的病情。美國人認(rèn)為這兩方面的個人隱私,特別是問女士的年齡將被視為不禮貌的行為，是缺乏教養(yǎng)的。中國喜歡數(shù)字6、8、9，討厭的4。美國人相信13是不吉利的數(shù)字。謙虛是中國傳統(tǒng)的美德之一,當(dāng)受到表揚(yáng)和賞識,中國人會說:“不,不”、“不可以”或“在哪里,哪里的種謙虛的話,這將讓美國人懷疑他是不會做一個錯誤的判斷。</p><p

45、>　　(C)在宗教信仰的差異</p><p>　　宗教信仰在中美文化差異中是一個重要的組成部分。在中國,佛教和道教有兩千多年的歷史,其根深蒂固的觀念影響中國人民,更深入地嵌進(jìn)了中國文化, 有關(guān)佛教的成語在中國語言詞匯中是不容低估的角色。,如“開關(guān)”、是拯救一個生命的訊息,等等。如果這些條款僅從字面上翻譯成英文的話,讓美國人不理解。同樣,隨著美國主流宗教,基督教是也深深嵌入到美國文化,是“神”(神)來代替這個

46、詞”的佛陀的意義,在中國,大量的習(xí)語和諺語有關(guān)神,當(dāng)然，我們也時常聽過(愿上帝保佑你)!上帝與神就是文化的差異。'</p><p>　　我們可以看到,這兩個國家在語言、文化、思維方式、價值觀念、個性特征、溝通方式、宗教信仰、風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣等方面有很大的差異。在跨文化交際中, 在面對的事物和現(xiàn)象﹑評價解釋的行為，當(dāng)事人之間的溝通,是建立自身文化的基礎(chǔ)上, 他們經(jīng)常使用他們自己的文化標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來衡量和判斷行為, 更真實(shí),

47、更確切地說,假定自己只接受自己國家或群體的價值觀、社會規(guī)范、社會規(guī)則的語言這必然會造成混亂, 跨文化交際中語用失誤甚至?xí)?dǎo)致誤解和沖突。</p><p>　　第四,為了避免中美跨文化交際中語用失誤所提出的建議</p><p>　　(A)相互學(xué)習(xí)文化和加強(qiáng)文化的共識。</p><p>　　首先要了解自己民族的文化, 熟悉自己的語言、文化、風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣、價值觀。同時, 我們

48、要了解美國文化。最終可以在比較兩種不同的文化中識別文化的差異,增強(qiáng)跨文化交際的共識,在一種有意識的方式下,避免語用失誤。</p><p>　　(B)加強(qiáng)文化的適應(yīng)性。</p><p>　　當(dāng)進(jìn)入一個新的文化環(huán)境,我們有可能體驗(yàn)到的生理、心理所不適應(yīng)的,甚至有許多人可能遇到的誤解、沖突。 因此,我們應(yīng)加強(qiáng)調(diào)整在一個陌生的文化的適應(yīng)性。第一,要提高文化敏感性,越來越多的人意識到各種文化現(xiàn)象，故

49、要提高自己的接受力。第二,消除文化偏見。最后, 積極促進(jìn)文化的交流?？缥幕浑H語用失誤有時是不可避免的, 因此必須是靈活的,從對方的角度考慮這個問題,承擔(dān)與另一個無意識的進(jìn)攻, 從而避免誤解和沖突。</p><p><b>　　5結(jié)論</b></p><p>　　在與不斷深入的中美文化交流中,兩種不同的文化是注定要激烈的碰撞,人們不可避免的會在打交道時出現(xiàn)誤解和誤會以
