语言与文化有着密切的关系,语言反映一个民族的文化,同时又受到文化的巨大影响。语言是人类交际最重要的载体。在中西文化交流中,人们常常发现,许多词语在表面上似乎很相近,但实际意义却相差悬殊。除了词义方面的差异以外,语用规则方面也有很多的差异。这些差异大多与中西文化传统有关。 There is a close relationship between language and culture. Language reflects the culture of a nation while being greatly influenced by the culture. Language is the most important carrier of human communication. In the cultural exchanges between China and the West, people often find that many words appear to be very similar on the surface, but the actual significance is quite different. In addition to the differences in word meaning, there are many differences in pragmatic rules. Most of these differences are related to Chinese and Western cultural traditions.
