从词语理据性看英汉民族文化的差异性

The Comparison between English and Chinese on Culture & Thought from the Motivation of Word Meaning

思维方式与语言及文化密切相关,思维是语言生成和发展的深层机制,语言是文化的载体,又使思维方式得以形成和发展,任何一种语言都体现着操该语言民族的文化和思维的特征,在构成词或词语的过程中,是有动因、有理据的。这一切对英语学习与运用都将产生极大影响。

Ways of thinking and language have an inseparate relation. Thinking is the deep system of a language's development and the language helps to form and develop the ways of thinking. Any language can reflect the thinking system of the native language speakers. We can find the motivations in the process of forming a word and all these will deeply affect our study and use of English.
