If in the latter way, the English are necessarily confused and suspect about their judgements. On privacyFor a majority of English people, if one asks such questions, as: “ how old are you?” “How much do you make?” “ Are you married?” to strangers, he may be looked as a rude and impolite person. English native speaker prefer to talk about weather or pliment the dress rather than age, ine, religions, and such like. However, in China, that is totally different. Suppose that a Chinese and an English native speaker meets for the first time, if the Chinese asks such questions, no matter what purposes he or she may have, it will possible anger the other.What’s more, if English native speaker hear: “you are fat,” or “you are so thin,” they must feel embarrassed and do not know how to reply. On this issue, Chinese people are supposed to pay attention to ask the questions they will ask, in case that the unexpected misunderstanding will be caused. On faceconceptAmong Eastern cultures, the important process of interpersonal munication is facesaving. It is a euphemism during the process of munication, which can not make themselves or others lose face.

Therefore, the vocabulary of a language system, such as words, idioms and sentences are inevitable with cultural connotations. They record a nation39。s parents are extremely angry.Besides, Chinese people are willing to take the initiative to care for others, which the West would suggest “Mind your own business.” Western culture encourages people to develop innovation and do something his predecessors did not do. On the contrary, the traditional Chinese culture requires people to take a medium way, and Chinese people are good at risking for the foreseeable future and more willing to maintain the status quo and harmony. The relationship between culture and langugeLanguage is an important part of culture because the characteristics of language stem from culture. Firstly, from the cultural connotation point of view, it includes both material wealth and spiritual wealth. Language is created in the cultural evolution as the spiritual wealth. Secondly, like culture, language is not a biological genetic process but acquired through continuous learning. What’s more, culture and language are Common wealth of the nation and shared by the whole society. As H. Goodenoygh (1975: 283) points out about the obvious relationship between language and culture in his book, “cultural anthropology and linguistics”. He said: The language of a society is an aspect of the culture of the society, they are the relations between the part and the whole. Besides, Language not only reflects the nation as a mirror of all cultures, but also is like a window revealing the contents of the culture. Through a national language, one can understand the nation39。 and the nonmaterial part refers to intangible items like language, valuse, nom, customs, religions and laws.

Therefore, Chinese culture reflects the characteristics of group。 an integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon the capacity for symbolic thought and social learning。 correctly learn and use EnglishI. IntroductionWith the economic globalization, and the frequent munication of China with the rest of world, it is being increasingly evident that Chinese people are deficient in English. It is really a problem for Chinese people, because tons of vocabularies and solid knowledge of grammars never bring them flexibility along with effectiveness。 Chinese use English。這篇文章主要通過分析中英文化差異對中國人使用英語所造成的負(fù)面影響來探索怎樣消除負(fù)面影響，使中國人正確的學(xué)習(xí)和使用英語進(jìn)行交流。在英語的使用過程中不同的問題接踵而至。然而，事實(shí)上, 大多數(shù)中國人在英語學(xué)習(xí)上都很費(fèi)力，因此他們的英語水平也相對較低。而且，英語是加強(qiáng)中國與世界交流非常有用的工具。An analysis on the Effects of the Cultural Differences between Chinese and English on the English Use of ChineseA Thesis Presented to theFaculty of Binhai School of Foreign Affairs Tianjin Foreign Studies UniversityIn Partial Fulfillmentof the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of ArtsBy Deng Xue May，2011ContentsAbstract (in Chinese) ………………..…………………………………………..IAbstract (in English) …………………………………………………………....III.
