SectionⅢ：Reading Comprehension [20 points]

Part 1：Questions 3 1—35 are based on this part．(10 points)

Read Passage 1 and then answer Questions 3 1——35 briefly．Write your answers on the Answer Sheet．

Passage 1

Proxemics is the Study of what governs how closely one person stands to another．People who feel close will be close，though the actual distances will vary between cultures．For Americans we can discern four main categories of distance：intimate，personal，social

and public．Intimate distance ranges from direct Contact to about 45 centimeters．Beyond this comes personal stance．．This stands at between 45 and 80 Centimeters·It is the most usual distance maintained for conversations between friends and relatives。Social distance covers

People who work together or are meeting at social gatherings．．Distances here tend to be kept between 1．3 to 2 meters．Beyond this comes Public distance, much as that between a lecturer and his audience．

All Cultures draw lines between what is an appropriate and what ills an inappropriate Social。t distance for different types of realty。unship．They differ，however，in where they draw these lines．Look at an international reception with representatives from the U S．and Arabic countries，conversing and you will see the American pirouetting backward surround the hall pursued by their Arab partners．The Americans wilt be trying to keep a distance between themselves and their partners—which they have grown used to and regard as "normal”．They probably will not even notice themselves trying to adjust the distance between themselves and their Arab partners whom they regard as being a bit” pushy"．The Arabs，On the Other hand, coming from a cherisher，e much closer distance is the norm，may feel that the Americans are a little‘stand-offish'．Finding themselves happier standing close to and even touching those they are in conversation With，they will relentlessly pursue the Americans round the room trying to close the distance between them．

The appropriateness of physical contact varies between different cultures．0ne study 0f the number of times people converse in coffee shops over a one—hour period showed the following interesting variations：London，0；Florida，2；Paris，10；and Puerto Rico 18b．Not only does it vary between societies，however，it also varies between different

sub—cult rues within one society．Young people in Britain，for example，are more likely to touch and hug friends than the older generation．This may be partly a matter of growing older，but it also reflects the fact that the older generation grew up at fl time when touching was less common for all age groups．Forty years ago，for example，footballers would never hug and kiss one another on the field after a goal as they do today．

31．What are the four main categories of distance for Americans?

32．How far apart should people who work together stand when communicating with each

other?

33．Why are Americans trying to adjust the distance between themselves and their Arab

partners?

34．Why do Arabs feel that Americans are being‘stand—offish’?

35．When conversing，do the English and Americans touch each other more than the French?

Part 2：Questions 3 6—40 are based on this part．(1 0 points)

Read Passage 2 and then decide whether Statements 36—40 are True or False according to the information given in the passage．Write ”T" for true and“F”for false on the Answer Sheet．Passage 2

Nobody actually wants to cause offence but，as business becomes even more international，it is increasingly easy to get it wrong．There may be a single European market but it does not mean that managers behave the same in Greece as they do in Denmark．In many European countries handshaking is an automatic gesture．In France good manners require that on arriving at a business meeting a manager shakes hands with everyone present．Handshaking is almost as popular in other countries，including Germany，Belgium and Italy．But Northern Europeans，such as the British and Scandinavians，are not quite so fond of physical demonstrations of friendliness．

In Europe the most common challenge is not the content of the food，but the way you behave as you eat．In France it is not good manners to raise tricky questions of business over the main course．Business has its place：after the cheese course．Unless you are prepared to eat in silence you have to talk about something——something，that is，other than the

business deal，which you are continually chewing over in your head．

Italians give similar importance to the whole process of business entertaining．In fact，in Italy the biggest fear，as course after course appears，is that you entirely forget you are there on business．If you have the energy，you can always do the polite thing when the meal finally ends，and offer to pay．Then，after a lively discussion，you must remember the next polite thing to do—let your host pick up the bill．

The Germans are notable for the amount of formality they bring to business．As a1) outsider，it is often difficult to know whether colleagues have been working together for 30 years or have just met for the first time in their life．1f you are used to calling people by their first names this can be a little strange．To the Germans，titles are important．Forgetting that someone should be called Herr Doctor or Frau Directory might cause serious offence．

It is equally offensive to call them by a title they do not possess．

In Italy the question of title is further confused by the fact that everyone with a university degree can be called Nott ore and engineers，lawyers and architects may also expect to be called by their professional titles．

These cultural challenges exist side by side with the problems of doing business in a foreign language．Language，of course，is full of difficulties——disaster may be only a syllable away．But the more you know of the culture of the country you are dealing with，the less likely you are to get into difficulties．It is worth the effort．It might be rather hard to explain that the reason you lost the contract was not the product or the price，but the fact that You offended your hosts in a light-hearted comment over an aperitif．Good manners are admired：they can also make or break the deal．

36．People in Britain shake hands just as much as people in Germany．

37．In France people prefer talking about business during meals．

38．It is not polite to insist on paying for a meal if you are in Italy．

39．German business people don’t like to be called by their titles．

40．Italian professionals are usually addressed by their titles．

Section IV：Communication Analysis [30 points]

Instructions：The following are three different cases of cross-cultural communication．In each of the cases there is something to be improved upon．Write an analysis on what is to be desired for more successful communication or cultural understanding in each case by answering Questions

4 l一43 respectively．Your analysis of each case should be about l00—l 50 words．Write

your answers on the Answer Sheet．

Note! Your writing ability will also be assessed in this section of the test．

Case 1(7 points)

I have an American friend．I have invited him several times，and at long last he invited

me to his home one day．He told me to get there at 3 pm．I thought we could chat and have

a meal together．I gave him a Chinese calendar，a woman’s scarf and a bottle of Chinese

white wine．He only took out a dish of nuts，a plate of bread and a bottle of wine．After two hours chat，I found there was no hint of a meal and said good—bye to him．He only gave me a box of chocolate as a present for the New Year．After I got home，I found the box had already been opened．I was Very surprised．

Question 4 1：What surprised me?

Case 2(10 points)

Lin had traveled 20 hours from Beijing to New York．He needed a good meal．His American friend，Mike，met him．But Mike only offered him a plate of roasted chicken and a glass of orange juice．Lin was used to having a main course，and asked Mike if he had any

rice．Mike said he only had fried noodles，and Lin had to make do with it．Though Lin knew Americans didn’t care very much about what food they ate，he still felt surprised because he had taken Mike to the most famous duck restaurant in Beijing——Quanjude——when he arrived in Beijing．

Question 42：

Why did Lin feel surprised? Offer some advice to him about adjusting to his new environment in America．

Case 3(13 points)

When Zhang Tao traveled in America，he lived in the home of his American friend，Bill．0nce after he had traveled back，he found Bill was in a bad mood．When he asked what the problem was，Bill told Zhang Tao that his son Adam got furious about the noise Zhang made when walking upstairs and also because he was using too much water in the solar powered shower and Adam had to have his shower in cold water．Bill told Zhang Tao that he should walk more softly in future，and have a fast shower to save water．Zhang Tao felt uneasy．How could the host set such rules for his guest!

Question 43：Why did Zhang Tao feel uneasy?

翻译研究的语篇分析模式及其意义(二)

英语知识 一、导论 20 世纪90 年代,语篇分析开始在翻译研究中占主导地位。语篇分析法侧重于描述语言意义交流及建立社会和权力关系的运作方式。翻译研究中, 最具影响力的语篇分析模式当数礼德的系统功能语篇分析。语篇分析模式引入翻译研究后,对翻译研究那种众说纷纭,莫衷一是的混乱局面无疑注入了一塘清水,尤其对中国翻译界挥之不去的语文学式的翻译研究产生了重要影响。西方翻译研究者把语篇分析引入翻译研究后,已经取得了重要进展,出版了几部重要作品,主要有:J uliane House 的《翻译质量评估模式:一种重访模式》( Translation QualityAssessment : A Model Revisited ) ,[ 1 ]Mona Baker 的《换言之: 翻译教程》( In Other Words : A CourseBook on Translation ) ,[ 2 ] Bell 的《翻译的理论与实践》( Translation and Translating ) ,[ 3 ] Basil Hatim和Ian Mason 合著的《语篇与译者》( Discourse andthe Translator ) [ 4 ] 和《作为交际者的译者》(The ranslator as Communicator ) ,[ 5 ] Basil的《跨文化交际—翻译理论与对比篇章语言学》(Communication across Cultures : Translation Theoryand Cont rastive ) 。[6 ] J uliane House 通过对原文和译文进行语域对比分析以确定译作评估模式,并分析了显性翻译(overt translation) 和隐形翻译(coverttranslation) 。显性翻译自称不是翻译,隐形翻译则被定义为在译语文化中享有和源语文本平等的地位。Baker 探讨了翻译中语言各层次尤其是语篇和语用层次上的对等。Basil Hatim 和Ian Mason 将符号层上的语篇融入其翻译研究模式,代表了更广泛意义上的话语观。在我国,将语篇分析模式引入翻译研究的应首推黄国文和美芳二教授。黄国文在《外语与外语

新编跨文化交际英语教程 参考答案

Unit 1 Communication Across Cultures Reading I Intercultural Communication：An Introduction Comprehension questions 1. Is it still often the case that “everyone?s quick to blame the alien” in the contemporary world? This is still powerful in today‘s soci al and political rhetoric. For instance, it is not uncommon in today‘s society to hear people say that most, if not all, of the social and economic problems are caused by minorities and immigrants. 2. What?s the difference between today?s intercultural contact and that of any time in the past? Today‘s intercultural encounters are far more numerous and of greater importance than in any time in history. 3. What have made intercultural contact a very common phenomenon in our life today? New technology, in the form of transportation and communication systems, has accelerated intercultural contact; innovative communication systems have encouraged and facilitated cultural interaction; globalization of the economy has brought people together; changes in immigration patterns have also contributed to intercultural encounter. 4. How do you understand the sentence “culture is everything and everywhere”? Culture supplies us with the answers to questions about what the world looks like and how we live and communicate within that world. Culture teaches us how to behave in our life from the instant of birth. It is omnipresent. 5. What are the major elements that directly influence our perception and communication? The three major socio-cultural elements that directly influence perception and communication are cultural values, worldview (religion), and social organizations (family and state). 6. What does one?s family teach him or her while he or she grows up in it? The family teaches the child what the world looks like and his or her place in that world. 7. Why is it impossible to separate our use of language from our culture? Because language is not only a form of preserving culture but also a means of sharing culture. Language is an organized, generally agreed-upon, learned symbol system that is used to represent the experiences within a cultural community. 8. What are the nonverbal behaviors that people can attach meaning to? People can attach meaning to nonverbal behaviors such as gestures, postures, facial expressions,eye contact and gaze, touch, etc. 9. How can a free, culturally diverse society exist? A free, culturally diverse society can exist only if diversity is permitted to flourish without prejudice and discrimination, both of which harm all members of the society. Reading II The Challenge of Globalization Comprehension questions 1. Why does the author say that our understanding of the world has changed? Many things, such as political changes and technological advances, have changed the world very rapidly. In the past most human beings were born, lived, and died within a limited geographical area, never encountering people of other cultural backgrounds. Such an existence, however, no longer prevails in the world. Thus, all people are faced with the challenge of understanding this changed and still fast changing world in which we live.

定义题 1. What is “intercultural communication”? P6 refer to communication between people whose cultural backgrounds are distinct enough to alter their communication event. There are three kinds of things you need to learn if you want to be able to communicate effectively with Westerners. First, you need to learn a foreign language, usually English. Second, you should learn as much as possible about Western cultures. However, studying English language and Western culture is not enough. You should also learn something about what happens when people from different cultures try to communicate with each other —in other words, "intercultural communication." 2.What is a culture? P13 A culture is essentially a group of people who carry many of the same ideas in their heads. Culture: can been seen as shared knowledge, what people need to know in order to act appropriately in a given culture. Culture: a learned set of shared interpretations about beliefs, values, and norms, which affect the behavior of a relatively large group of people 3.What are stereotypes?P13 Stereotypes means very broad generalizations such as “British people are polite,”“Americans are friendly”, and so forth. It is a derogatory word. It means that image, idea, character that has become fixed or standardized in a conventional form without individuality and is therefore false and shallow. Stereotypes may have a basis in fact, but they are too broad and shallow, and they give us the mistaken idea that a people’s culture can be summed up easily in a few short , simple statements. Stereotypes are also dangerous because they may trick us into believing that knowing a few stereotypes is the same thing as understanding another culture. 4.What does “interpretation” means?P24 A very important aspect of intercultural communication is “interpretation”, t he process of deciding what foreigners’ words and actions mean and why they do what they do. For example, when Xiao Li tries to understand why the taxi driver asked for so much money, she is “interpreting” his behavior. 5.I n dividualist p32 Individualist culture is one in which people tend to view themselves as individuals and emphasize the needs of individuals. In general, Western culture tends to be individualist. They view themselves as independent of collectives; are primarily motivated by their own preferences, needs, rights, and the contacts they have established with others; give priority to their personal goals over the goals of others; and emphasize rational analyses of the advantages and disadvantages to associating with others. 6.Collectivist P32 Collectivist culture is one in which people tend to view themselves as members of groups (families, work units, tribes, nations), and usually consider the needs of the group to be more important than the needs of individuals. Most Asian cultures, including China's, tend to be collectivist. People see themselves as parts of one or more collectives; are primarily motivated by the norms of, and duties imposed by, those collectives; are willing to give priority to the goals of

Encoding is the process of putting an idea into a symbol. Message编码信息 The term message identifies the encoded thought. Encoding is the process, the verb; the message is the resulting object. Channel交际渠道 The term channel is used technically to refer to the means by which the encoded message is transmitted. The channel or medium, then, may be print, electronic, or the light and sound waves of the face-to-face communication.
