英語對話練習(xí):跨文化交流
引導(dǎo)語:每個(gè)國家的文化都不一樣,我們?nèi)绾慰缥幕涣髂亍R韵率前俜志W(wǎng)小編分享給大家的英語對話練習(xí):跨文化交流,歡迎練習(xí)!
A Matthew, do you know much about body language in countries around the world?
馬修,你了解世界各國的肢體語言嗎?
B Sure, I've picked up a few things from travelling around for work. Why?
當(dāng)然。我工作中有很多出差的機(jī)會(huì),了解到一些這方面的知識。怎么了?
A Well, I had a meeting today with a woman from Japan and she wouldn't stop bowing! I didn't know what to do!
好哎,我今天參加了一個(gè)會(huì)議,會(huì)上有個(gè)日本女子總是不停地鞠躬?我不知道該怎么辦!
B Did you bow back?
你也鞠躬回禮了嗎?
A No, I tried to shake her hand, but her hand was so limp I was a bit offended.
沒有,我試著和她握手,但是她的手軟弱無力,弄的我都有點(diǎn)不高興了。
B Well, Japanese businessmen and women typically bow to greet each other in Japan. She might have been offended by your strong handshake.
哦,在日本,談生意的人無論男女一般都會(huì)互相鞠躬致意。你握手那么用力她很可能因此而有點(diǎn)不愉快。
A But she was in America! Shouldn't she have known that strong handshakes in America signify confidence and respect?
但她這是在美國!難道她不知道,在美國用力握手意味著信任和尊重嗎?
B Things are different in Japan. You know, in some countries, making eye contact with others is considered rude.
這跟日本的習(xí)俗完全不同。你知道嗎,在有些國家,直視對方的眼睛被認(rèn)為是無理的舉動(dòng)
A Is that why she wouldn’t look at me in the meeting?
這就是她為什么在開會(huì)時(shí)一直不看我的原因吧?
B I think it's highly possible, yes.
我覺得很可能是這個(gè)緣故。
A The meeting really didn’t go down well at all. I think I need to read up about intercultural communication before I have another meeting with someone from another country.
這次的會(huì)晤進(jìn)行得非常不順利。我想下次再出席類似這樣有外國人參加的會(huì)議之前,一定要熟知一些有關(guān)跨文化交流方面的知識。
B That's a good idea. When you don’t know much about other cultures, the simplest thing can offend someone.
這是個(gè)好主意。當(dāng)你對另一種文化缺乏了解的時(shí)候,即使是最簡單的舉止也會(huì)冒犯到別人。
A That's so true. It's great that we see eye to eye on this.
一點(diǎn)沒錯(cuò)。真高興咱倆對這件事情看法一致。
