语言像一面镜子反映着民族的全部文化,又像一个窗口揭示着该文化的一切内容,而文化又是语言赖以生存的根基,是语言新陈代谢的生命源泉。英语教学只有通过了解该民族文化的内涵,熟悉其背后的文化特殊性,从而克服由于文化间的差异造成的语言障碍,达到掌握语言的目的。 Language mirrors the whole culture of the nation like a mirror, and it is like a window revealing all the contents of the culture. Culture is also the basis for the survival of language and the source of life for language metabolism. Only by understanding the connotation of the national culture, familiar with the cultural peculiarity behind it, English teaching can overcome the language barriers caused by cultural differences and achieve the goal of mastery of language.
