美国语言学家萨皮尔曾说过:“语言的背后是有东西的,而且语言不能离开文化而存在。文化的生命力在于传播,这是文化得以生存的力量。”语言正是文化传播最重要的一股力量。我们在长期的英语教学中往往忽视了语言背后的东西。事实上,语言和文化是密不可分的,不了解一个国家的文化就很难真正了解一个国家的语言。 American linguist Sapir once said: “There is something behind the language, and language can not exist without culture, and the vitality of culture lies in the spread of culture, which is the force through which culture can survive.” An important force. We often neglect the language behind in long-term English teaching. In fact, language and culture are inextricably linked. It is hard to understand the language of a country without understanding the culture of a country.
