语言是文化的一部分,并对文化起着重要作用。语言是文化的基石——没有语言,就没有文化;从另一个方面看,语言又受文化的影响,反映文化。语言与文化互相影响,互相作用;理解语言必须了解文化,理解文化必须了解语言。因此,在大学英语教学中导入文化因素是非常必要的,我们不仅要重视语言教学,也要重视文化教学,以提高学生跨文化交际的敏感性。 Language is part of culture and plays an important role in culture. Language is the cornerstone of culture - no language, there is no culture; from another perspective, the language is affected by culture, reflecting the culture. Language and culture influence and interact with each other; understanding language must understand culture and understanding culture must understand language. Therefore, the introduction of cultural factors in college English teaching is very necessary, we should not only focus on language teaching, but also attach importance to cultural teaching, in order to enhance students’ sensitivity to intercultural communication.
