There is a very close relationship between language and thinking.However,since Chinese and English belong to Sino Tibetan language family and Indo European language family respectively,as well as different historical and cultural backgrounds,it is inevitable that there will be differences in thinking modes.In the process of cross-cultural communication,we should have a clear understanding of the differences between English and Chinese thinking patterns.This paper first analyzes the differences between English and Chinese thinking modes,and then briefly discusses the influence of different thinking modes on cross-cultural communication from three aspects of language expression,written expression and business communication.
