4. 案例
Case 34 What Is Sue’s Problem?
This case can reflect nonverbal intercultural communication should be according to the different context, too. Context refers to the actual setting when communication occurs and is also important in nonverbal communication. In this case, Sue knew how to wai and she knew that bowing was generally important in the Thai culture, but, as is so easy to do in a new environment, she forgot to consider the context. Relational hierarchy is very important in Thailand. Sue’s differential actions may have appropriate in certain s ettings, but given her status of elder visitor such actions directed toward the children were extremely confusing and uncomfortable for the students and teachers alike.
这个案例反映出非言语的跨文化交际也应该根据不同的语境。语境指的是当交流发生时的现场环境。它在非言语的交流当中很重要。在这个案例中，Sue 知道如何去wai 并且她知道鞠躬在泰国文化中通常是很重要的。但她在一个新环境中轻易就鞠躬，她忘了考虑语境。等级关系在泰国也很重要。Sue不同的举动可能在一些环境当中是合适的。但是作为一个参观者，她向比她年龄小的孩子做这样的动作是十分让人学生们和老师们困惑和不舒服的。
Case35 A Quarrel
This case can reflect the different use and understanding of silence can influence the actual intercultural communication. Different culture might have different interpretations to the silence. The Eastern culture usually attaches more meanings to silence, while the most western cultures consider silence to be absence of communication and most rude communicative behavior. In this case, Li Hua wanted to provide the opportunity for them to calm down and think about the matters carefully and so she kept silence, while this silence was misunderstood by Smith as the absence of communication and he might think Li Hua looked down upon him and became angrier.
此案例反映出对沉默的不同使用和理解能够影响现实的跨文化交际。不同的文化对沉默有着不同的解读。东方文化通常赋予沉默更多的意义，而西方文化通常认为沉默是交流的缺失，是非常鲁莽的交际行为。在此案例中，李华想要提供一个机会让他们冷静一下，仔细考虑一下事件，因此，她保持沉默。然而这种沉默被Smith误解为交流的缺失。他可能认为李华看不起他，所以他变得更加愤怒。
Case 42 Wrong Signal?
Ning Tong was not observing the house rules for watching TV, which was probably why he eventually stopped saying anything in the argument. Usually, when a Chinese chooses not to say any more things in an argument, it would mean one or both of the following: the person feels that he/she is wrong; the person wants to stop the argument by not talking any more. The latter would often mean tolerance as one has to resist the impulse of reasoning with the other, especially when one feels he/she is right. When Ning Tong became quite, he was hoping that his silence could stop Tom since Tom would not have anything to respond to.
Tom was clearly frustrated at not being able to relax and enjoy some programs connected with what is happening back home. Tom probably thought Ning Tong’s decision to stop a rguing was “passive aggression”---making the other person look bad by pretending to be mild-mannered or even not interested---yet not yielding in an argument.
错误的信号？
宁童没有观察房子里看电视的规则，这就是为什么他最后在争辩中停止说话。通常来说，一个中国人在辩论当中选择不再说话，这可能有如下的理解：这个人觉得自己说的是错的；这个人想通过不说话来停止争论。第二层意思可能意味着忍耐当一个人不得不抵抗和另一个人理论的冲力，尤其当一个人感觉他/她是对的时候。当宁童沉默时，他希望他的沉默可以让Tom停下来因为Tom将没有什么话可以回应。
Tom感到非常尴尬当他不能放松并且欣赏节目。Tom可能认为宁童决定停止争论是消极进攻---这能使另一个人看起来很坏通过假装态度温和或甚至是不感兴趣---但却又不能在争论中发飙。
Case 44 When Shall We Meet For Dinner?
Uncertainty avoidance orientation can be seen in this case. In the dialogue presented below, Kelly and Keiko are interacting about a dinner invitation. Kelly, from the United
States, possesses a relatively low uncertainty avoidance index, while Keiko, from Japan, comes from a culture with a relatively high uncertainty avoidance index.
In the dialogue above, Keiko is confused by Kelly’s easygoing attitude toward the evening’s plans. Coming from a high uncertainty-avoidant culture, Keiko would prefer to plan ahead to avoid uncertainty and prepare her script for the evening. Kelly, on the other hand, is a perfectly comfortable making plans based on how the evening progresses. Without a plan, how will Kekio know how to act?
不确定性规避情况能在此案例中看见。在对话中，Kelly 和Kekio在讨论晚餐邀请。Kelly，来自美国，有着一个相对较低的不确定性避免指数，而Kekio，来自日本，来自一个有着相对较高避免不确定性行指数的文化中。
在下面的对话中，Kekio被Kelly随意的制定晚餐的态度所迷惑。来自与一个有着较高避免不确定性的文化，Kekio更喜欢提前制定好计划以避免不确定因素，并且为晚上的事写出手稿。而Kelly，更喜欢根据晚上事情的进程来制定计划。没有一个确定的计划，Kekio怎么知道该怎么办呢？
A Danish Woman in New York
The case can reflect assuming similarity instead of difference. When communicating with people from another culture, one is likely to regard and treat other people as “his way”. In this case, the Danish woman assumes that her behavior of leaving the baby alone, which is common in Denmark, is also appropriate in New York. Here, she assumes what is suitable in her own culture is also indisputable in another culture. That is why the small conflict happens.
丹麦妇女在纽约
这则案例反应了假定一致性, 当同来自于其他文化的人交流的时候，会认为他人和自己相似，并会以自己的方式对待他人。在这则案例中，在丹麦把孩子独自留在家中是很普遍的，因此丹麦妇女认为在纽约也是这样。这里，她假设自己文化中适宜的事情在另一个文化中也是无可争辩的，这就是为什么发生了这个小冲突。
Ambiguous Time
This case can reflect ethnocentrism. Cultures train their members to use the categories of their own cultural experiences when judging the experiences of people from other cultures. They will believe that their culture is the center of the world and their standard should be the role model for the rest of the world. Concerning this case, somehow Chinese people have habitually referred 12:00 a.m. as the time around lunchtime, making 12:00p.m. midnight. Fortunately, the way they tell other times are the same as that used in the States, so there’s usually no misunderstanding between people from the two cultures. However, there is this one difference and Fan learns it by paying a fine since she may hold that her culture is the center of the world.
模糊时间
这则案例反应的是民族优越感。当判断其他民族文化时，从自己的文化标准出发来判断。他们认为他们的文化是世界的中心文化，他们的标准应该是其他标准的典范。在这个案例中，中国人习惯将上午十二点作为午饭时间，将午夜十二点作为午夜。幸运的是，他们和别人说时间的时候和美国是一样的，因此在这个方面通常没有误解。然而，有一个差别，fan在交罚金的时候感觉到她的文化就是世界的中心。
Girl-ness
This case can reflect one of the translation problems: the lack of conceptual equivalence, which refers to abstract ideas that may not exist in the same fashion in different languages. Different cultures may attach different meanings to the same thing or person. Concerning this case, we should know what young females call themselves is very different in China from the States. In China, “girl” means someone who is young and single. In a way, it makes a female sound more desirable to be called a girl rather than a woman. For most people, “woman” means someone who is married and who probably is not young. In fact, most single Chinese females, such as university students, would be insulted to be called “women”. While in the West, in formal, public settings, it is cust omary to call any woman who is past puberty a woman, even though she may not be legally old enough to vote, marry, purchase alcoholic beverages, drive a car, or sign a contract. This terminology became widespread during the “women’s liberation movement in the 1960s”. The term “girl” is sometimes interpreted to be demeaning or disrespectful.
女生
这个案例反映了翻译的问题：由于没有概念的对等，就是抽象的想法在不同的语言里没有对应的词。对于相同的事情或人在不同的文化间有不同的意义。在这个例子中，我们应该知道在中国和美国的称呼是不同的。在中国，“girl”指的是年轻单身的女人。这样，女士们就比较喜欢被叫女孩儿而不是女人。对于大多数人来说，女人知道是那些已经结婚，不在年轻的人。事实上，大多数的中国单身女性，比如说大学生，都因为被叫做女人而羞耻。而在西方，在正式，公共的场合，对于过了青春期的女性都会叫成女人，即使她还没有够年龄去选举，结婚，买酒，开车或签合同。这个术语在“60年代妇女解放运动”中广泛流传，而“girl”这个词则被翻译为一种降低身份，不尊重人的称呼。
Case 28 Two Different Communication Styles
The dialogue takes place between a young couple who have been dating for a short time. The man is a U.S. student, and the woman is from an Asian culture. Note the misunderstanding that results as a consequence of the use of direct and indirect modes of communication.
In all likelihood, Jim is not going to get much of an answer from Michiko. She continues throughout the dialogue using rather general answers to Jim’s very specific and direct questions about her feelings toward the United States, Michiko might believe that Jim is being far too direct and invading her privacy. Besides, the fact that she has traveled halfway around the world should lie indicative of her desire to be here, right? There must be something about the United States that attracted her. Michiko cannot possibly say something critical about the United States that attracted her. Michiko cannot possibly say
something critical about the United States because she would lose face, as a native. She relies on imprecise and indefinite answers.
两种不同的交流风格
这段对话发生在一对刚交往不久的年轻人身上。男的是美国学生，女的来自亚洲文化。主要误解的产生是源于直接交流和间接交流两种交流模式的运用。
Jim并不打算从Michiko那里得到答案。在对话中，她继续用非常概括的答案来回答Jim非常具体和直接的问题关于她对美国的感受。Michiko可能认为Jim说话太直接了，侵犯了她
的隐私。除此之外，她绕了半个地球来到美国也隐瞒不了她来这的渴望，不是吗？美国一定有什么吸引她的地方。Michiko不可能批判的来评价美国因为因为面对Jim这个美国人
她会感到很丢脸。于是她依赖那些不准确不确定的答案。
Case 29 Misunderstanding
Idioms are simply statements that are not strictly true, but their meaning is understood by a group of people. If you ask what happened to Martha and people say, “She kicked the bucket, ” it does not mean that she literally did this: it means she died. Just like in the case my student’s friend did not literally mean that Shang should get out of the apartment. Idioms are common in all cultures, but when used in intercultural settings they can create a lot of confusion. One potential area of misunderstanding related to idioms is when to use them and with whom. For example, I would not use the “kick the bucket” idiom just any setting or with just any person. If I am talking with my grandmother and I am going to tell her about someone who has died, I may use what is often perceived as a gentler idiom and say the person has “passed away.” Understanding the context of when an idiom is appropriate or sensible is part of intercultural knowledge.
误解
成语是简单的陈述而不是严格的准确，而它们的意义是只有一组人了解。如果你问Martha 发生了什么，人们会说“she kicked the bucket” 这个不能字面翻译，而是“她死了“就好像案例中我学生的朋友shang不应该搬出公寓。成语在所有文化中都很普遍，但是当用在不同
文化中就经常会产生混淆。潜在的一个误解就是怎么用，和谁用。比如说，我不能在任何
场景或跟任何人都用kick the bucket。如果我正和我的祖母说话，并且我打算跟她说有人
去世了，我可能会使用一个更加常用，并且更礼貌的成语pass away 。适当并且明智的
使用成语，理解语境在跨文化中是很重要的一部分。
