英国文化是欧洲文化的一部分,语言的学习不能不以一定的文化知识为基础,欧洲文化渊源所自主要有二:希腊——罗马的古典传统(theGreco—Roman element)和希伯来—基督教的中古传统(the Judeo—Christian element)。希腊代表着西方重理性和现实的文化模式。而希伯来则代表着东方重感情、信仰和心灵的文化模式。有了这两个传统的结合,才产生了崭新的文化和文学。到了中世纪后期,发生了知识爆炸和文艺腾飞,即文艺复兴运动,中古时期文化发展遂至顶峰,而在这峰巅之上,有一颗璀璨的明珠,那就是基督教《圣经》。
British culture is part of European culture. Language learning can not but be based on a certain cultural knowledge. There are two main sources of European cultural origins: the Greco-Roman element and the Hebrew-Christian Middle Ages The Judeo-Christian element. Greece represents the cultural model of Western rationality and reality. Hebrew, on the other hand, represents the oriental cultural model of sentiments, beliefs and hearts. With these two traditions, a new culture and literature have emerged. By the late Middle Ages, there was a knowledge explosion and a literary take-off, that is, the Renaissance movement. Cultural development in the Middle Ages reached a peak. On this summit, there is a bright pearl, the Christian Bible.
