摘要
文化教学是大学英语教学的重要内容和重要手段。现行文化教学存在文化失衡现象,表现为:(1)目标语文化即英美文化往往占据主导地位,而母语文化即中国文化常常被置于无足轻重的地位;(2)学习者大量的跨文化交际失败并非完全是由于他们不了解英美文化而造成的,而是由于他们对中国文化的目标语(英语)表达失当造成的。文章就造成这一现象的原因及其影响进行深入探讨,并结合中国英语有关理论给出解决问题的办法。
Culture teaching is the major content as well as a primary means in college English teaching. However, cultural imbalance can be seen in the current culture teaching: dominance is given to the target culture, i.e. the Anglo-American cultures while the native culture, Chinese culture is often placed in an insignificant position. Moreover, considerable cross-cultural communicative failures are caused by, instead of the lack of Anglo-American cultural knowledge, the incorrect handling of Chinese culture in English. This article explores the causes and effects of cultural imbalance and seeks a solution to the problem in accordance with the theory of China English.
