第一篇：中外茶文化演讲稿
大家上午好，我将代表第一组向你们讲解我们的PPT，我们着重向你们分析中国和英国这两个国家的茶文化的区别。Good afternoon，everybody！I’m Tang Na.I’d like to show the differences between Chinese tea culture and British tea culture, representing for group 1.１．茶文化的起源
作为茶树的原产地，中国是最早种植、加工和饮用茶的国度，是当之无愧的“茶的祖先”。中国茶文化始发于神农，闻名于鲁周公，兴于唐朝，流行于宋朝，普及于明清。至今已有五千年的历史，它与中国的佛教、儒学等糅合，独成一体。
从17世纪开始，茶叶传入英国，到１９世纪，几乎整个英国社会都开始流行喝茶。值得一提的是“英式下午茶”，这一称谓的正式发明是在19世纪40年代。英国维多利亚时代，公元1840年，英国公爵夫人安娜女士每天下午都邀请几位好友，同享轻松惬意的午后时光，伴随着茶与精致的点心。直到今天，它已形成一种优雅自在的下午茶文化，也成为正统的“英国红茶文化”，这也是所谓的“维多利亚下午茶”的由来。
To begin with, it’s necessary to know the origin of tea culture.As the country of origin of the tea, China was the first country for planting, processing and drinking of tea, and is worthy of “ancestor of tea”.Chinese tea culture originated in Shen Nong times, became famous in Wei and Jin dynasties, thrived in the tang dynasty, became popular in song dynasty, and popularized in Ming and Qing dynasties., It has to do with Buddhism and Confucianism of China, but become a specially new culture, which has been five thousand years of history.In 17th century, tea was introduced into the UK.Until 19th century, tea became popular in almost all British society.It is worth mentioning “English afternoon tea”.This formal appellation was invented in the 1840s.Victorian, Anna, the British duchess, invited a few friends and enjoyed the ease of an afternoon every day, of course accompanied by the tea and delicate snack.Until today, it has formed a kind of elegant and comfortable afternoon tea culture, and also become orthodox “British black tea culture”, which is the origin of the so-called “ Victorian afternoon tea”.饮用方式的不同
中国人饮茶，注重“品”。用煮沸的清水冲泡茶叶，顺乎自然，在清幽的环境中优雅地品尝，寻求茶的固有之味，重在意境。饮茶要求安静、清新、舒适、干净。品茶的环境多在园林或自然山水间，人们搭设茶室，小憩品茗，意趣盎然。
英国在茶里加入牛奶，或者蜂蜜、肉桂、胡椒、威士忌、黄油、鸡蛋，以及一切他们想加入的东西，从而把苦涩的茶水变成适合自己口味的饮料。
Now, we can know the different way of tea drinking.Chinese often pay much attention to “taste”.They brew tea with boiling water naturally, taste with elegance in the quiet environment, and experience inherent flavor of tea, focusing on its artistic conception.It is quiet, comfortable, clean, pure and fresh.People always build teahouse, taste tea, and recreate themselves in the gardens or natural landscape,.British would like to put milk, honey, cinnamon, pepper, whisky, butter or eggs, and all the other things they want into their tea, so as to make bitter tea suitable for their flavor.３．饮茶礼仪的不同
中国很重视沏茶、敬茶的礼仪。比如，征求客人意见后，主人会选用最合其口味的茶叶和最佳茶具待客。同时，主人要注意客人杯中的茶水残留量，如果客人已喝去茶杯一半，主人就要添加开水，使茶水浓度基本保持前后一致，且水温适宜。
与之相比，英国人则嗜爱举行名目繁多的茶宴(Tea Party)、花园茶会(Tea in Garden)，野餐茶会(Picnic Tea)。
About different tea etiquette, Chinese attaches great importance to the tea etiquette.For example, after soliciting opinions of the guest, the host would choose tea which is the most suitable for its flavor, with the best tea hospitality.At the same time, the host should pay attention to the residue
of tea water in the cup, if there’s a half cup, the host will add boiling water, keeping the concentration of tea consistent, and moderate temperatures.By contrast, British people are addicted to various tea feasts, such as Tea Party, Tea in Garden, or Picnic tea.影响不同
茶是我国人民物质生活的必需品，更是我国传统文化的载体。品茶、待客是中国个人高雅的娱乐和社交活动，坐茶馆、茶话会则是中国人社会性群体茶艺活动。中华茶文化在发展的过程中所发挥着多方面的社会功能和作用，比如，以茶祭祀、或者作诗、制药。
喝茶，对英国现代文明的进程有着不一样的影响。下午茶不仅仅是休闲的家庭生活的象征，更为女性的社交生活提供了场所。另外，国内茶叶的巨大消费量刺激了英国的对外贸易和殖民扩张，英国和东印度公司赚取了滚滚财富，为早期工业文明提供了资本积累。
Talking about social affect, we can see, for China, tea is one of the necessities in Chinese material life, but also the carrier of Chinese traditional culture.Entertaining a guest with tea, is Chinese personal elegant entertainment while sitting in the teahouses or holding tea party is Chinese social groups activities.The Chinese tea culture plays various social functions in the developing process of tea, for example, it being used for sacrifice, banquet, poetry or medicine.Tea has different effects on the progress of British modern civilization.Afternoon tea is not only a symbol of leisure family life, but it offers more places for women's social life.In addition, the huge domestic consumption of tea stimulus Britain foreign trade and colonial expansion and the UK has made a fortune, so that it could provide rich capital accumulation for their early industrial civilization

传说“神农尝百草，一日遇七十二毒，得茶而解之 ”。自此，茶便于中国有了不解之缘。无论是鱼米之乡的江南，还是牛羊遍地的塞外；无论是繁华富庶的东海之滨，还是落日孤烟的西域荒漠。茶是不可或缺的。于是一条从武陵山脉深处一路东行，又折向北，又转向西，穿越戈壁和沙漠，直通俄罗斯的沧桑古茶道形成了。
中国人“开门七件事，柴米油盐酱醋茶。”，由此可见茶在人们生活中的重要性，普遍性。南方人喝茶精致，北方人喝茶豪放。文人常以茶会友，以茶代酒，以茶寄情，以茶明志。茶对文人总是难解的情怀。茶在寻常百姓的生活中，却是一天劳累后缓解困乏的良药，没有那么多的讲究，到也实实在在。
沸腾，翻滚，平静，飘香，品味，这就是茶的一生了。奋斗过，努力过，才明白平平淡淡才是真。人生如茶，茶如人生。即便我只是一介高中生，也正经历着披星戴月、沸腾、翻滚的高三生活，时常也要靠茶提神醒脑，或者说是茶让我享受忙里偷闲的片刻宁静。我想说，豪情万丈的激情岁月，才是值得品味的人生，这就是我的茶文化。

第五篇：中外文化差异演讲稿
呼和浩特市关帝庙街小学六年级（2）班演讲稿 孙明佳
中外文化差异
据美国《星岛日报》报道：中国人的家庭观念强，血缘关系，亲情伦理，在脑中根深蒂固，父母、子女始终一家人。哪怕成家立业，另设门户，和父母仍不分彼此，把赡养父母，侍奉父母，看作自己应尽的责任。美国人却不同，子女一到成年，就会离巢而飞，父母不再抚养他们；而子女一旦独立，对父母家的事，也不再理会，更休想赡养父母或几代同堂了。
对于中西文化的这种差异，在美国唐人街表现得尤其明显。中国人如果一大家子来购物，父母为小孩买东西天经地义，已成年子女为父母代付钱也理所当然。常常碰到这种情形，已成年子女抢着为年迈的父母付钱，双方抢来抢去，争个半天。老外却不同，父母、子女各自理财，互不搭界。甚至有些小孩买东西，也得自掏腰包，用他们帮助父母做家事挣得的零用钱来支付。每当我伸长手臂，接过比柜台还矮的小孩，从口袋上的钱包取出的钱币时，心中总有一股难以名状的难过，真想责问站在一旁的家长，为何不掏钱？而那些已成年子女，在金钱上，和年迈的父母，同样经济分明，年迈父母从干瘪的钱囊中抖抖索索掏钱时，他们却是心安理得，丝毫不为之动容。曾有一位大客人，住在高级白人区，是个医生，每次来都要买上几千块的东西。有一次陪纽约来的母亲来买东西。老板见是大客人，不敢怠慢，亲自接待，带他们上楼看贵重物品，好半天才下来，老板忍不住发话了，“老太太真挑剔，什么都看不上”。在楼下，老太太挑中3个总价为50美元的景泰蓝小盒子及一个等价的粉红水晶小象，她拿在掌心把玩着，呼和浩特市关帝庙街小学六年级（2）班演讲稿 孙明佳
爱不释手，一会说要买象，一会儿又说买盒子，再三考虑着。我心中不免嘀咕了：既然喜欢，为何不爽快买下，真是个吝啬鬼。这时，站在她旁边的儿子有些不耐烦了，对母亲说：“你只有50多块，只能买一样，等你回纽约，汇钱过来，老板会帮你寄去。”噢，我错怪老太太了，原来不是她挑剔、吝啬，而是她实在没钱。心中顿时五味杂陈：难怪美国人对于“望子成龙”、“望女成凤”的期望没有中国人这么高，这个挥金如土的医生，宁愿看母亲失望而归，也不愿为母亲尽一点孝心，付一点小钱。真是可怜天下父母心，培养出了个有钱的儿子，父母却沾不到一点光。这就是现实的美国，儿子可以是百万富翁，父母却照旧穷困潦倒，和中国人的“母以子贵”，“一人得道，鸡犬升天”的中国传统天差地别。
如今，家庭、亲情观念强的中国人来到了美利坚这块土地，中国人的传统观念及尊老爱幼的美德难免不受到美国文化的冲击，但愿生活在美国的中国人，能坚持自己的优良传统及美德，让中华文化这朵奇葩，在美国各族裔的百花园里绽开得更鲜艳，更灿烂。谢谢大家！
