案例分析

1.Two men meet on a plane from Tokyo to Hong Kong. Chu Hon-fei is

a Hong Kong exporter who is returning from a business trip to Japan. Andrew Richardson is an American buyer on his first business trip to Hong Kong. It Is a convenient meeting for them because Mr. Chu’s company sells some of the products Mr. Richardson has some to Hong Kong to buy. After a bit of conversation they introduce themselves to each other.

Mr. Richardson: By the way, I’m Andrew Richardson. My friends call me Andy. This is my business card.

Mr. Chu: I’m David Chu. Pleased to meet you, Mr. Richardson. This is my card.

Mr. Richardson: No, no. Call me Andy. I think we’ll be doing a lot of business together.

Mr. Chu: Yes, I hope so.

Mr. Richardson (reading Mr. Chu’s card ) : Chu, Hon-fei. Hon-fei, I’ll give you a call tomorrow as soon as I get settled at my hotel.

Mr Chu (smiling): Yes, I’ll expect your call.

When these two men separate, they leave each other with very different impressions of the situation. Mr. Richardson is very pleased to have made the acquaintance of Mr. Chu and feels they have gotten off to a very good start. They have established their relationship on a first-name basis and Mr. Chu’s smile seems to indicate that he will be friendly and easy to do business with. Mr. Richardson is very particularly pleased that he has treated Mr. Chu with respect for his Chinese background by calling him Hon-fei rather than using the western name, David, which seems to him an unnecessary imposition of western culture.

In contrast, Mr. Chu feels quite uncomfortable with Mr. Richardson. He feels it will be difficult to work with him, and that Mr. Richardson might be rather insensitive to cultural differences. He is particularly bothered that Mr. Richardson used his given name, Hon-fei, instead of either David or Mr. Chu.

How do you account for their different impressions? Does culture play a role in the communication between these two men?

2.During the American Civil War, a very hungry young man fell down in front of a farm gate. The farmer gave him food but in return he asked the young man to move a pile of wood in his yard—in fact it was not at all necessary to move the wood back to its original place. Seeing all this, farmer’s son was confused.

1). Why did the farmer do that?

2). What values are reflected in this story?

3. Dear Mary,

We work in the typing pool of a large London store and are very concerned for the welfare of one of our young colleagues.

She is only 19, unmarried, and has become very friendly with a young man who works in one of the departments of the store. He pops into the typing pool to see her and there. We know that he is engaged to a girl who lives near him.

We feel for the protection of the girl, that we should complain to the general manager. But we wouldn’t like anybody to get the sack. Four Worried Typists

The answer from the columnist:

My advice is simple: Mind your own business. The girl is old enough to know what she is doing.

1)What value can we see behind the letter and answer?

4.As a foreign student at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Keiko Ihara was on a strict budget. She had all her tuition and books paid for by scholarships and grants and until recently was comfortably housed in

the dormitory, she found a small apartment to share with a friend. Her college friends, knowing of her situation, offered to round up some of the necessary items for apartment living. Keiko politely declined, saying she could manage. Wanting to help out her friends found some old but still usable household appliances and furniture. Mary had an old desk that was in her garage. Ed had some chairs from his uncle, and Joe and Marion had a few extra dishes. They cheerfully brought them over one day. Keiko seemed very embarrassed, but gracefully accepted them, sincerely and profusely thanked them.

The following week they were each presented with a gift from Keiko. Mary got an ornate jewelry box, Ed a volume of woodcuts by a famous Japanese artist, and Joe and Marion a beautiful Japanese case, all of which were of considerable worth and value, much more than the old things they had donated to her. They all protested that she could not afford to give such elaborate gifts; they really expected nothing as the household items were not really being used and they would rather have her use them. Keiko, however, insisted that they take the gifts. In the end, they accepted the gifts, although they all felt uncomfortable as they knew she was really sacrificing to give them.

1)What do you think of Keiko insisting on giving valuable gifts to her

college friends?

2)How would you feel if Keiko presented you with a gift for your help?

5.Environments significantly influence one’s cognition, effect, and behavior. One feels the impact of the different culture especially when one comes into a foreign country. Shen-Lan, who is from Taiwan, was satisfied for her first twenty-five years of life because she was surrounded by the people who have loved her and whom she has loved. Her friends used to ask her why she looked very happy all time. Even though her parents limited her behavior or activities because of social bias, she accepted those controls because she understood her parents really loved her. Also, her parents did everything for her, such as taking care of her, cooking for her and making decisions for her. She complied with what her parents expected. She had never left home before she came to America. When she came to America, culture shock obviously influenced her self-concept, self-esteem, and self-presentation.

In Chinese culture, she was taught to be interdependent. She had to care not only about herself but also about the people who were around her, for example parents, siblings, and friends, even neighbors. However, in American society, she noticed that everyone was very independent, and minded his or her own business, and nobody cared about one another. Because she did not want to get hurt, she knew that she had to make some changes. In her self-concept, she changed her interdependent view to an independent

view.

Using a different language, the major reason for culture shock, really injured her self-esteem. Shen-Lan graduated from a well-known university in Taiwan, and she felt proud of that. When she came to America, she was supposed to be good at English, but she was not. After this realization, she tried to study hard in English to match her standards. However, she had studied English for one year, yet she did not improve greatly. She lacked self-confidence to speak English, so her self-esteem decreased.

The change in self-concept and self-esteem was reflected in her self-presentation. Because Shen-Lan wanted to become independent, and she was afraid that she disturbed others with her personal problems, so she began to isolate herself. For English, she did not give up because of her high goal to meet her own and the expectations of others. She tried to avoid talking to her friends who speak the same language though she felt lonesome. She recognized and learned the new cultural rules and expressed it through a different self-presentation.

The three social self-components of Shen-Lan: self-concept, self-esteem, and self-presentation were influenced by culture shock. Shen-Lan tried to be independent, became aware of her self-esteem, and learned American behavior. Right now, she starts to think about having a pet. Can she become an American woman?

6. Jose and Jim worked together in a restaurant. They had become friendly because both of them were also studying. Jim was studying business, and Jose was taking English classes and planned to study engineering. One day, as they were leaving work, Jim asked Jose, ?Jose, I need a favor. I have to go over to school, and I’m out of money. Could you lend me a dollar so I can take the bus over there and then get home? I’ll pay you back tomorrow.?

?Sure, Jim. No problem. You don’t have to pay me back,? said Jose, as he handed Jim a dollar.

As soon as he got out to work the next day, Jim went over to Jose and handed him a dollar, saying, ? Thanks, Jose. I really appreciated this last night. It sure was too cold to walk.?

?Forget it,? said Jose, as he handed Jim back his dollar.

?Oh, no, I insist. I don’t want to take advantage of a friend. What if I need to borrow money again sometime? If I didn’t pay you back now, I would feel wrong asking to borrow money again,? said Jim, as he put the dollar into Jose’s shirt pocket.

Jose answered, ?But that’s what friends are for. In Spanish, We have a saying, ‘today for you, tomorrow for me.’ If you pay me back, I will feel that I won’t be able to ask you for money when I need it. I will

feel like you are closing the door on me, that there is no trust between us. I thought we were friends. How can I take the money?? Jose handed back the dollar.

?But I won’t feel right if you don’t take it!? said Jim.

1)Why did Jim insist on returning the dollar to Jose?

2)Why did Jose not want to take it?

3)Do you think that their attitudes are cultural?

7. Rosa (Mexican--American) and Annie (American) shared a small dormitory room at a university. They liked each other very much and got along well until a problem came up

One day, Rosa told Annie, ?My second cousin wants to come and see the university. She might want to go to school here next year. Do you mind if she stays with us while she visits??

?Gee, it’s pretty crowded with just the two of us. Where’s she going to sleep??

?Oh, that’s no problem. She can sleep in my bed, with me.?

?Well, okay, ?said Annie. ?It’s up to you.?

?Great! ? answered Rosa. ?She’s coming tomorrow.?

Two weeks later, the cousin was still with them. Since she did not bring enough money, Rosa paid for her meal. Rosa missed many of her classes so that she could help her cousin find her way around.

Rosa never complained about any of this to Annie, but Annie decided to speak to her friend.

?Rosa,? she said. ?I know it’s none of my business. But I don’t like to see you being treated this way. It’s not fair of your cousin to take advantage of you, using your time and your money like this. And how do you ever get any sleep, anyway? I think you should tell her you have your own life to live. After all, she’s only your second cousin.?Rosa was surprised. She answered, ?Oh, the bed doesn’t bother me! It reminds me of sleeping with my sister as a child. You’re right, though, about my schoolwork. I know I’m missing too many classes. But family comes first. I just couldn’t leave my cousin here by herself. ?Even after their conversation, Annie still could not understand her friend. Before her cousin arrived, Rosa had always seemed like such an independent, responsible person, who never missed a class. Annie just could not understand why she had changed.

1)Why was Annie confused?

2)Why did Rosa continue to help her cousin?

3)Do you think Rosa’s and Annie’s ideas are typical of their culture?

8.Kevin was leaving work one Friday, when he stopped to talk t Blanca,

a new worker. On Wednesday, they had talked at lunch. She had told him that she had just come from the Dominican Republic two months before. Kevin

liked her.

?So, Blanca, what are your plans for the weekend?? asked Kevin.

?Oh, hi. Kevin,? Blanca smiled. ?I have to go shopping with my cousin for a winter coat.?

?Tonight some of us from work are going out to a place called ‘The Blue Hat’ for beers and something to eat. Would you like to come? I could pick you up at eight if you tell me where you live.?

?Okay, Kevin. That sounds nice. I hope it’s O.K. if I bring my little sister along.?

?As your chaperone ? ? laughed Kevin, making a joke.

?That’s right,? said Blanca. ?I guess you know something about the Dominican culture. It’s the only way my parents will let me go.??Are you serious?? Kevin stared at her. ?Well, I’ll be there at eight.?

When Kevin, Blanca, and her sister arrived at ?The Blue Hat ?, they sat down with Kevin’s friends, who were already eating. A waiter came and asked, ?What would you like to have? And shall I put this all on one check or will you all pay separately??

?Separate checks, please,? answered Kevin. ?I’ll have a hamburger and French fries and a beer, please. Blanca??

Blanca opened her purse under the table. Then she whispered something to her sister in Spanish. She looked at the waiter and said, ?My sister and I aren’t hungry. A coke and a beer, please.?

1)Why did Blanca bring along her little sister?

2)Why was Kevin surprised?

3)Why did Kevin say, ?Separate checks, please??

9. Katherine came to Beijing in 1998 and found a job as an English teacher in a foreign language institute. Soon after her classes began, she found that her students showed no interest in her teaching and quite a few of them avoided to ask the Director, Prof. Wang, for help. One day, she came to the Director and told him that she would like to talk to him about her problem. The director looked at his timetable and asked if they could meet at ten o’clock on Thursday morning and she agreed.

On Thursday she arrived at the Director’s office at the exact time of their appointment when she found that Prof. Wang was talking with another teacher in Chinese. Seeing that she had come, Prof. Wang smiled to gesture a seat and asked her to sit down. She got herself seated, and the professor excused himself and carried on the talk with the teacher. About five minutes later, he concluded his talk and made a profound apology before he began to talk with Katherine. The Director showed great concern and asked her what the problems was. Just as she was specifying her problem, another Chinese teacher came in, with a form that apparently needed signature of the Director. The Director smiled an apology to Katherine

again and turned to talk with that teacher, also in Chinese. Katherine became impatient, wondering why their talk should be interrupted since they had already made an appointment. She was so upset and got choked by their talking in Chinese in front of her that she became quite angry. Although their talk continued, she was apparently unhappy about what had happened.

1). How can you explain the Director’s behavior to Katherine?

2). According to Katherine, what kind of rules did the Director violate in their communication?

10. Read the following passage and think about the questions.

A Canadian colleague and I traveled to Guilin with our admirable guide Heping Liu in very hot weather. Sight-seeing is thirsty business, we did not trust the water, and delighted in the excellent beer which we politely offered Heping. Heping refused, we said nothing and drank our beer, while poor Heping watched. One day Heping must have been desperate because he accepted the first offer. Only when I saw that Heping in fact liked beer very much did it then occur to me to ask him whether maybe in Chinese it was not polite to accept a first offer.

Indeed, it is not and Heping was being modest, polite and well behaved and had every intention of accepting the beer at the second or third offer. But Heping had not figured on North American rules which firmly say that you do not push alcoholic beverages on anyone. A person may not drink for religious reasons, he may be a reformed alcoholic, he may be allergic. Whatever the reason behind the rule, you do not insist on offering alcohol. So unconscious and so strong are our communication rules that we equally politely never made a second offer of beer to Heping who probably thought North Americans most uncouth.

1)To avoid intercultural misunderstanding, do you think the Chinese

guide should not have refused the first offer? And why or why not?

2)If you were to offer or be offered something, how would you behave?

Would you behave in the Chinese way or the American way? And why?

《跨文化交际学概论》课后习题答案

第一讲跨文化交际 1. 在你的日常活动中哪些是比较典型的跨文化交际? 答:(1)具有不同文化背景的人从事交际的过程就是跨文化交际。 (2)日常活动中比较典型的跨文化交际有: ①中外领导人谈判、进出口公司的工作人员与外国商人谈生意; ②和外国旅游者、外国留学生、外国教师交往; ③阅读外国小说、观看外国电影、电视节目。 2. 你认为强调个人之间的文化差异有什么利弊? 答:强调个人之间的文化差异有如下利弊: (1)利:每个人都隶属于若干群体,而且没有哪两个人隶属的群体是完全相同的。即使在同一群体中,每个人的态度、价值和信念也不会完全一样。因此,每个人都应该被认为是独特的。强调个人的差异,就是在从地区、职业、年龄、性别等方面来研究不同文化对个体的影响,这有助于跨文化交际深入开展。 (2)弊:过于强调个人之间的文化差异也有一定的弊端。个体只是一种或多种文化的具体情况。根据传统的观念,文化通常不是指个人行为,而是指一个群体的生活方式和习惯,个人之间的差异研究只有在把他们当作群体代表时才有意义。过于强调个人文化之间的差异会使跨文化交际变得非常繁琐,实际上取消了跨文化研究的意义。 3. 我国的地区文化差异是否可以作为跨文化交际研究的重要方面? 答:我国的地区文化差异可以作为跨文化交际研究的重要方面。 (1)跨文化交际研究的重要性排序如下:主流文化—亚文化—地区文化—小群体文化。 (2)地区文化的差异是跨文化交际研究的重要课题之一。我国幅员辽阔、地域广袤,地势高低起伏,地形复杂多变,由于空间分布差异,各地区形成了具有各自地方特斯的区域文化。 (3)同时,我国是一个多民族国家,每个民族都有自己的民族文化传统,这些也构成了地区文化的一部分。这些地区文化从总体上看,特点显著,区别性强,差异性大,值得进行跨文化研究。

《跨文化交际学概论》读后感

《跨文化交际学概论》读后感 AP0802325 钟欣奕 在学习《跨文化交际》这门课程和看完《跨文化交际学概论》这本书之前,我对“跨文化交际”的认识是:两个来自不同国家的人、组织或是国家之间的交流和沟通就是跨文化交际,而同一个国家的两个不同地区的文化的交流并不是跨文化交际。因为我认为既然是“‘跨’文化”,那这两种文化之间的差异应该是很大的,有非常不一样的文化来源和文化背景,有不一样的发展历程和演变过程,形成了两种很不一样的文化内涵。比如,美索不达米亚平原和幼发拉底河孕育的文化、黄河孕育的文化都是各有各的特点。随着经济的发展,交通工具的进步与通讯手段的发展,跨文化交际成了人们的需求,成为经济全球化和“地球村”的需求。 但是,《跨文化交际学概论》这本书中的第一部分第一章中提到:任何两份人之间的交际都是跨文化交际。这让我对“跨文化交际”有了一种新的认识。 有些学者就认为,跨文化交际研究的范围应该也包括地区、职业、年龄、性别等方面的文化差异探讨。地区之间文化的差异,特别是在饮食方面还是比较明显的。在肇庆一些地方,番薯和南瓜是很少被当做是一道菜,更多的是当早餐或者是相当于正餐的米饭,但是同属广东,有一些地方又偏爱“蒜炒南瓜”。又比如,在我的家乡—海南,人们很爱吃生芒果,吃法也很特别:有的人会蘸盐吃,但更多人,包括我,更喜欢蘸调料吃,这种调料是用酱油、白砂糖、海南灯笼椒、或虾酱调制而成的。我周围的朋友都觉得这种吃法很奇怪,无法想象竟然用水果蘸酱油吃。不过我们当地人觉得味道还挺不错的。 正所谓“隔行如隔山”,每种行业之间虽然有互通的知识,但是之间的差别还是挺大的。对大多数学习文史类的人来说,理工科的公式换算简直就是“鬼画符”一样难懂。具体来说,要一个只专长与计算机编程的人去欣赏充满意境、“形散神聚”的散文,也是一件很难的事情。

跨文化交际学概论__胡文仲版

第一部分绪论:跨文化交际与跨文化交际学 第一章跨文化交际 一、什么是跨文化交际——具有不同文化背景的人从事交际的过程跨文化交际之所以在今天日益引起人们的注意,主要原因是由于交通工具的进步与通讯手段的发展,使得不同国家、不同种族、不同民族的人能够频繁地接触和交往。L.S.Harms 认为,在世界范围内的交际经历了五个阶段:语言的产生;文字的使用;印刷技术的发明;近百年交通工具的进步和通讯手段的迅速发展;跨文化交际。近二十年来的交际是以跨文化为特征的。 二、对跨文化交际的不同理解:有的人认为每个人在文化上都是独特的,所以任何两个人之间的交际都是跨文化交际。有的人认为,不同国籍人们之间的文化差异与不同职业的人们之间的文化差异并没有什么本质上的区别,只是程度上的差异。有的人认为,跨文化交际研究应该把重点放在亚文化系统的语篇系统方面。有的人认为,作大范围的国与国之间的对比对于改进跨文化交际益处不大,应该把眼光放在更具体的文化差异上。跨文化交际研究的范围应该也包括地区、职业、年龄、性别等方面的文化差异的探讨。文化通常不是指个人的行为,而是指一个群体的生活方式和习惯。作者认为作跨国、跨种族、跨民族研究不仅应该是跨文化交际研究包括的内容,而且应该是放在首位的。至于地区、

阶级、阶层、职业、性别、年龄等不同层次的差异也应该给予关注。至于个人之间的差异的研究只是在我们把他们当做群体的代表时才有意义。在研究一个国家的文化特点时,我们的眼光首先应集中在它的主流文化主流文化上,其次才注意它的亚文化和地区文化的特点。主流文化-主流文化-亚文化-地区文化-小群体文化(不同年龄、职业、性别群体的文化) 三、第二章跨文化交际学 跨文化交际学在美国Intercultural Communication (与人类学、心理学、传播学关系密切) 1.首先在美国兴起。美国有来自各个国家的移民,有各自的文化系统和风俗习惯,逐渐在美国社会形成了多元文化的格局;美国与各国交往频繁。 2.Edwar Hall 《无声的语言》跨文化交际学的奠基之作。认为不同文化背景的人们在使用时间、空间表达意义方面表现出明显的差异。(对时间、空间、交际的关系作了深入探讨) 3.1970 年是具有重要意义的一年,在这一年,国际传播学会承认跨文化交际学是传播学的一个分支,成立了跨文化交际学分会。1972 年,第一届跨文化交际学国际会议,日本东京。 4.70 年代,影响最大的书籍Samovar&Richard《跨文化交

跨文化交际课后答案

Case 1 A Canadian The shipping agent(代理) is serving the customers in the way that is considered efficient in Venezuelan(委内瑞拉) culture. To the Canadian, however, this is unfocused activity(活动) that is not nearly as efficient(有效地) as it would be —particularly from her point of view — if the agent simply dealt(处理) exclusively(专门) with her scheduled(计划) appointment. In Canada, businesspeople typically(通常) write appointments and activities into the day’s agenda(议程) every day. They then work sequentially(顺序) through the agenda until they have completed each task or the day is over. In other words, Canadians prefer to do one thing at a time, while the South Americans, including Venezuelans, tend to do a few things simultaneously(同时). Case 2 A dozen As a Westerner, the American visiting professor(客座教授) does not quite understand the collective ownership(集体所有制) of information in some other cultural environments. What made her annoyed(恼火) is a different attitude toward information about people. In the United States, it is generally assumed(认为) that personal matters are private(隐私). Teachers go through elaborate(精心) procedures(设计) to assure that students do not have access(接触) to each other’s grades. In business it is the same. Evaluations(评估) are confidential(保密的). Case 3 When As a matter of fact, the American woman was not being disrespectful(不敬). However, it is clear that her way of showing respect and welcome was different from the ancient tradition of keeping physical distance from superiors(上级), which is still widely observed(遵守), especially when royalty(皇室) is involved(有关的). Paul Keating, the Australian prime minister(总理), may have intended(打算) to suggest by his gesture(姿态) that Australia would no longer accept the queen as head of state but just as one of their honored guests. Obviously, the British would not like it at all. Sometimes, such seemingly(表面上的) trivial(琐碎的) things can influence relations between countries. That’s why protocol(协议) is taken seriously and people who are to hold diplomatic(外交) posts(公告) will be given detailed and careful instructions(指示). Case 7 A female When the Canadian young man said, “Who took my peanut butter(花生酱)?”, what he really meant was “Where is my peanut butter? I can’t find it.” The Chinese doctor felt upset because in Chinese culture questions like this, especially expressed in the way the young Canadian man did, often imply(暗示) that someone is to blame(罪魁祸首). Chinese culture prohibits(禁止) direct accusing(指责)unless a person has been targeted for shame. However, true(忠诚的) to her learned cultural behavior of never
