语言是社会的工具,语言的使用反映着一个社会的文化。语言与文化的关系,构成了第二语言学习的一个重要方面,语言与文化相互紧密地交织在一起,语言的使用也离不开特定的社会环境。语言不仅是人们用来交际的工具,而且是反映一个民族的语言特点,常常反映着这个国家的社会、文化及生活等特征,比如:drive-in一词,就是当今美国社会及美国人民文化和生活的写照。随着汽车工业的发展以及人们生活节拍的加快,各种服务到车上的设施纷纷被发明出来:drive-inrestaurants（人坐在汽车里就可以买到饭菜的路旁餐馆）,drive-in banks（服务至车上的路旁银行）,drive-in movies（供坐在车内观看的大型露天电影院）,乃至drive-inlibraries,drive-in churches, dirve-in post offices,drive-in weddings等等。这些语汇记形象地反映了美国人民生活的一个重要侧面——节奏快,效率高,求方便。由此可见,要学习一种语言,势必要熟悉这个国家的社会、文化乃至风俗和习惯。离开对所学语言国家的社会与文化的了解,想学到地道的外语是很困难甚至是不可能的,因此,在外语教学中应处理好语言和文化二者的关系。 但多年来,我国英语教学由于种种原因,历来注重对语言形式（语音、语法、语汇）的讲解,而较少结合英、美国家的社会、文化?
Language is the tool of society, the use of language reflects the culture of a society. The relationship between language and culture constitutes an important aspect of second language learning. Language and culture are intertwined closely, and the use of language can not be separated from the specific social environment. Language is not only a tool for people to use for communication, but also reflects the language characteristics of a nation and often reflects the social, cultural and life characteristics of the country. For example, the term drive-in refers to the current American society and the American people’s culture. A portrayal of life With the development of the automobile industry and the acceleration of people’s life, various services to the car’s facilities have been invented: drive-inrestaurants (roadside restaurants where people can buy food when they sit in their cars), drive-in banks (Service to the car on the side of the road bank), drive-in movies (for the car to watch the large open-air cinema), and even drive-inlibraries, drive-in churches, dirve-in post offices, drive-in weddings and so on . These vocabularies vividly reflect an important aspect of the American people’s life - fast pace, high efficiency and convenience. Thus, to learn a language, it is bound to be familiar with the country’s society, culture and even customs and habits. It is very difficult or even impossible to learn the social and cultural knowledge of the country where the language is spoken and to learn the authentic foreign language. Therefore, the relationship between language and culture should be handled well in foreign language teaching. But for many years, English teaching in our country has always paid more attention to the explanation of language forms (pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary) for a variety of reasons, but less on the social and cultural aspects of English and American families.
