所有概念关键词+考试范围内的CASE： Chapter 1 Culture Keywords(1)Culture(from intellectual perspective): Culture is “the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively”（从知性角度定义文化：作为整体的人类智力成就的艺术和其他表现。）

(2)Culture(from anthropologic perspective): Culture consists of patterns, explicit and implicit, of and for behavior acquired and transmitted by symbols, constituting the distinctive achievement of human groups, including their embodiments in artifacts;the essential core of culture consists of traditional ideas and especially their attached values”（.从人类学角度定义文化：文化由清晰和模糊的行为模式构成，这些模式通过符号获得并传播，这些符号由人类群体的特别成就构成，包括具体的人工制品。文化的基本核心由传统思想和与其相关的价值观构成。）

(3)Culture(from psychological perspective): culture is the collective programming of he mind which distinguishes the members of one category of people from another。（从心理学角度定义文化：文化是使一个人类群体成员区别于其他人类群体的思维的总体规划。）

Subcultures exist within dominant culture ,and are often based on economic or social class,ethnicity,race,or geographic region.(8)Co-culture: refers to groups or social communities exhibiting communication characteristics, perceptions, values, beliefs, and practices that are significantly different enough to distinguish them from the other groups, communities, and the dominant culture.（共文化：指具有独特的交际特征、感知特点、价值观、信仰和行为，区别于其他群体、社团以及主流文化的群体或社团。）

(9)Subgroup: usually does not involve the same large number of people and is not necessarily thought of as accumulating values and patterns of behavior over generations in the same way as cultures do.（亚群体：相对于亚文化和共文化群体，亚群体通常规模不大，也不一定有文化群体世代相传积累的价值观念和行为模式。）

Case 2: White Dress Case analysis: The Indian women might think the wedding ceremony is a funeral if they see the western bride in white gown.The case reflects the similes and metaphors in the text.Culture is like an iceberg: we can identify the color of the dress worn by women in different cultures, but we do not know the values underneath.Culture is like the water a fish swims in: people wear dress of different colors for different context but they usually take it for granted and never ask why.♣(6)Culture Identity: refers to one’s sense of belonging to a particular culture or ethnic group.（文化身份：认为自己归属于某一文化或民族群体的感觉。）

Case 4: Coconut-skating（用椰油保养地板的方法）Case analysis: The case reflects the characteristics of culture.We can tell from the case that culture is pervasive and it’s learned.People may invent different ways for things even as simple as the issue of floor moping.The Philippine woman must have learned this way of mopping from her own culture.Chapter 2 Communication and Intercultural Communication Keywords(1)Sender/Source: A sender/source is the person who transmits a message.（信息发出者/信息源：信息发出者/信息源指传递信息的人。）

(15)Communication :is derived from the Latin word communicare,meaning to share with or to make common,as in giving to another part or share of your thoughts,hopes,and knowledge.Case 12: Why Don’t You Eat the Pizza? This case can reflect the problems appearing during intercultural communication and how ignoring cultural differences can affect communication.In Malaysia, where most people are Muslims, people think the left hand is used only for cleaning the body and thus it is dirty and can not be used to pass food.Knowing nothing about the cultural difference, the American student puts himself in an embarrassing situation.Chapter 3 Culture’s Influence on Perception Keywords(1)Sensation: It is the neurological process by which people become aware of their environment.（感觉：感觉是人们意识到周围环境的神经过程。)(2)Perception: It is the process by which we become aware of objects, events, and especially people and their behaviors through our various senses and involves higher-order cognition in the interpretation of the sensory information.(知觉：知觉是一种人们通过各种感觉来觉察事物、事件、人和人的行为的过程。它是解释感觉信息更为高阶的认知过程。)(3)Selection: It is a process in which we screen out what we need from all the stimuli and information around us.（选择：选择是从周围选择的刺激信息中筛选出所需要的信息的过程。)(4)Organization: It is the process during which we need to organize and impose structure on what we observe in a meaningful way.（组织： 组织是把从周围选择的刺激信息，以一种有意义的方式整理，组合的过程。）

(5)Interpretation: It refers to attaching meaning to sense data and is synonymous with decoding.（释义：释义是赋予感觉信息意义的过程，类似于解码过程。）Case 16: Different Responses to Noise This case can reflect different culture can give different influences on human sensation.No two of people can assume that their sensations are the same, especially when they come from different cultures.Different social reality and living conditions can equip them with different way to sense the world.So it is very common for them to have totally different sensations even towards the same condition.In this case, the German professor and Japanese professor have very different response to the noise produced by the same motor for the heating system because of their cultures and living habits.Chapter 4 Intercultural Communication Barriers Keywords(1)Anxiety: It occurs because of not knowing what one is expected to do, and focusing on that feeling and not be totally present in the communication transaction.（焦虑：当人们不知道如何迎合他人对自己的期待，过多的关注自己情绪以至不能全心投入到交际事物中去时，就会产生焦虑。）

(2)Uncertainty: It refers to our cognitive inability to explain our own or other’s feelings and behaviors in interactions because of an ambiguous situation that evokes anxiety.(不确定：不确定是指人们无法从认知的角度去解释交际活动中自己或他人的感觉及行为，这种认知角度解释能力的欠缺是某种引起焦虑的含糊情境导致的。)(3)Assuming similarity instead of difference: It refers to the idea that people coming from another culture are more similar to you than they actually are or that another person’s situation is more similar to yours than it in fact is.（假定一致性：假定一致性是指认为来自另一文化的他人和自己相似或他人的处境与自己的处境相似，而事实上却并非如此。）

(7)Racism: It refers to any policy, practice, belief, or attitude that attributes characteristics or status to individuals based on their race.（种族主义：种族主义是指基于种族把性格特点或地位归因于个人的任一政策、做法、信仰或态度。）Case 21: A Danish Woman in New York This 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 people” and to assume there must be only one way of doing things: that is “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.Case 23: 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 customary 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.Case 24:An Unfair Decision This case reflects prejudice, which involves an unfair, biased, or intolerant attitude towards another group of people.In this case, Mr.Bias decided to select someone else, instead of applicant from the country Levadel, for the position.That is just because he holds prejudice towards people from the country Levadel.Chapter 5 Verbal Intercultural Communication Keywords(1)Verbal intercultural communication happens when people from different cultural backgrounds communicate with each other by using language.来自不同文化背景的人用言语进行的交际即言语跨文化交际

(2)Dialect is a form of language peculiar to a group of people, as distinguished from the literary language of the whole people.方言是某一群体特有的语言，与整个群体的言语不同。

(3)Sociolect refers to variation in terms of social class or style.（社会方言指由于社会阶级或言语风格不同而产生的方言。）

(4)Pidgin is a special language variety that mixes or lends languages for restricted purposes such as trading.洋泾浜，是一种特殊的语言变体，指为贸易等目的将两种或几种语言混合使用。

(5)When a pidgin language begins to acquire native speakers and becomes the permanent language of a region, it is called a Creole.当有人以洋泾浜为母语，并成为某一地区永久的语言是，它就成为克里奥耳语或混合语

(6)Lingua franca refers to a specific language that is used as an international means of communication.通用语指作为国际间交流手段的一种特殊语言。

(7)Taboo refers to prohibition of a set of behaviors that should be avoided because they are offensive and impolite.禁忌语指被禁止或避免的具有冒犯性的不礼貌行为。

（9）Jargon refers to the special or technical vocabularies developed to meet the special needs of particular professions such as medicine and law.行话指演变而来的专门的或科技词汇，用以满足特殊职业的特殊需要，例如医药和法律。

Case 25:Success Story One of the sources of the frustration and misunderstandings that occurred in this case was different notions of what was verbally relevant.In this case, Mary was expecting a much more direct response to her question.Ms.Goshima, however, was uncomfortable with the question and felt her response should be very indirect and establish a proper sense of modesty before revealing the answer to the question.If Mary had been more patient, she would have eventually heard the answer to her question, but she was not really paying attention when it finally came because she felt that Ms.Goshima's comments weren't really relevant to her query.Chapter 6 Nonverbal Intercultural Communication Keywords(1)Nonverbal communication: It refers to the messages sent without using words.（非言语交际：不运用言语语言传递信息被称为非言语交际。)(2)Proxemics: It refers to the study of spatial relations.（时空行为：时空行为对空间关系的研究。）

(3)Kinesics: It refers to gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, body positions, body movement, and forms of greeting and their relation to communication.（身势语行为：身势语（也称体态语），指手势、面目表情、眼神交流、身体姿势、肢体运动和问候方式以及和他们与交际的关系。）

(4)Chronemics: It is the study of how people perceive and use time.（时间行为：对于人们如何理解和利用时间的研究。）

(5)Paralanguage: It is the set of audible sounds that accompany oral language to augment its meaning.（辅助语行为：为增强其含义，伴随言语语言产生的可听到的声音符号系统。）

(6)Haptics: It refers to communicating through the use of bodily contact.（触觉行为：指通过身体接触来交流。）

(10)Silence cues affect interpersonal communication by providing an interval in an ongoing interaction during which the participants have time to think,check or suppress an emotion,encode a lengthy response,or inaugurate another line of thought.(11)Attire refers to clothing and physical appearance.it also serves as nonverbal symbols.Case 33:Are Americans Indifferent? This case can reflect different nonverbal communication patterns exist in the actual intercultural communication, especially facial expression differ according to different cultures.Compared to most Chinese, Americans like to smile a lot and to have causal and rich facial expressions in their daily lives, even though they have some misfortune.In this case, because of the different opinions about facial expressions in intercultural communication, the American lady talked about her father’s sickness and death in a smiling way to show she still has the optimistic way to treat the future life, which is misunderstood as being indifferent and selfish by the Chinese.Case 36:Don’t Put Your Hand on My Arm This case can reflect different cultures have different opinions to spatial relations.Different cultures have very different opinions about an individual’s unconsciously structuring the microspace immediately surrounding the physical body.Some cultures can have relatively close distance when communicating while other cultures cannot.Some western cultures consider body touch between people of the same gender to be cultural taboo and a symbol of being homosexual.In this case, Sam is from western cultures and knows the social taboo of body touch very clearly,so he wouldn’t let others misunderstand Mark’s close body distance and touch with him, even though Mark from Chile doesn’t know the cultural taboo at all.Chapter 7 Cultural Patterns Keywords(1)Cultural pattern: Shared beliefs, values, norms, and social practices that are stable over time and that lead to roughly similar behaviors across similar situations are known as cultural patterns.(文化模式是指在相对稳定的共有的信仰、价值观、标准和社会实践，这些文化模式在相似的情形下会使人产生相似的行为。)(2)Context：It is the information that surrounds an event, and is inextricably bound up with the meaning of the event.（语境是指事件发生时周围的信息，对事件的意义解读具有重要参考价值。）

(3)High context communication: is one in which most of the information is already in the person, while very little is in the coded, explicitly transmitted part of the message.（高语境交际是指在交际过程中大部分的信息靠交际人本身传递，只有少量信息被明确地用语言的形式传递。）

(4)Low context communication: is one in which the mass of the information is vested in the explicit code.（低语境交际是指大量的信息通过明确的语言编码被传递的交际。）

(5)Uncertainty avoidance： deals with the degree to which members of a culture try to avoid uncertainty.（不确定性规避指某一文化的成员对于不确定性因素的规避程度。）

(6)Power distance： is the extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organizations accept that power is distributed unequally.（权力距离是指机构或组织中权利较小的成员对权利被不平等分配的接受程度。）3.Brief Explanations to the Cases of this Chapter(7)Belief:a belief is an idea that people assume to be true about the world.(8)Values:involve what a culture regards as good or bad,right or wrong,fair or unfair,just or unjust,beautiful or ugly,clean or dirty,valuable or worthless,appropriate or inappropriate,and kind or cruel.(9)Norms:are the socially shared expectations of appropriate behaviors.(10)Social practices:are the predictable behavior patterns that members of a culture typically follow.(11)Human-nature orientation:我真的不知道该怎么总结这个概念！大家自己看看吧，在书上P239(12)Person-nature orientation:consists of three categaries:mastery over nature;harmony with nature;subjugation to nature.(13)Time orientation:as far as time orientation is concerned,cultures may belong to 1,the past orientation;2,the present orientation;3,the future orientation.(14)Activity orientation:the activity orientation involves three groups:1,the doing orientation;2,the being orientation;3,the being-in-becoming orientation.(15)Relational orientation:consists of three categaries1,individualism;2,lineality;3,collaterality(16)Individualistic cultures:give more importance to individuals' needs when they do things such as setting goals.(17)Collectivism:is characterized by a rigid social framework that distinguishes between in-groups and out-groups.(18)Masculine and feminine cultures:没看懂啊没看懂！！郁闷！

Case 41: Getting Frustrated Jay was frustrated in large part because many of the norms he was used to didn't apply in Saudi Arabia, and many Saudi norms did not make sense to him.Much of the business done in Saudi Arabia depends on baksheesh, a type of kickback to a middleman(and it is a man), who facilitates contacts between potential business partners.The middleman is doing a service and expects to get paid for it.The more baksheesh the person gives, the more likely it is that the person will succeed, because the middleman will be sure to treat him very well.Giving baksheesh is a norm in the Saudi business community.In addition, Saudis believe that God gave us multifunctional hands and that the hand is our best tool for eating.However, they are also concerned with hygiene.They reserve the left hand for cleaning themselves and use the right hand for eating.Saudis have a number of norms related to restricting male and female interaction that, within the context of their religious beliefs, make perfect sense but would be very inappropriate to most Westerners.Case 43: The Improvement Does Not Work Following their individualistic orientations, Mr.Patterson and Mr.Wyman were perfectly comfortable with the idea of creating team leaders within the individual sales groups.However, as Park Young Sam mentions, doing so upset the harmony of the groups, which in turn led to poor performance.In the United States, workers are often motivated by the opportunity for promotion and advancement as this serves the individualistic drive for individual achievement.In collectivistic cultures, however, workers may be motivated by being a part of a cohesive and productive team.Individualism and collectivism are terms that describe whole cultures.But cultures are not pure.Members of collectivist cultures may practice individualistic tendencies while members of individualist cultures may value collectivist ideals.For example, Denmark is a country with both collectivistic and individualistic tendencies.In Denmark, individual freedom is nurtured through a devotion to established traditions and customs.Regarding income and social rank, Danes are staunchly egalitarian.At the same time, however, Danes consider themselves free to be nonconformist and to stand out from the group.In this way, Danes may be at the theoretical midpoint of the individualism and collectivism cultural continuum.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 perfectly comfortable making plans based on how the evening progresses.Without a plan, how will Keiko know how to act?

Chapter 8 Cultural Influences on Contexts Keywords Communication is not devoid of external influence: all human interaction is influenced to some degree by the social, physical, and cultural settings in which it occurs.This is known as the communication context.（交际无法脱离外部环境的影响：所有的人类交际都或多或少受到社会、物理和文化场景的影响。这些场景被称为交际语境。）

Case 48:Gift from a Chinese Chinese people love giving gifts.Usually, the value of the gift is an indication of how important the receiver is in the sender’s eyes.Most people giving gifts are concerned about whether the gift will be seen as valuable enough.An inexpensive gift means a loss of face.Dongxie may have a practical reason in giving the ginseng to his manager, but most Chinese will take it as something usual for a subordinate to do this to a manager out of a sign of respect.North American companies do occasionally receive gifts out of appreciation for the friendship and assistance the manager may provide.Such gifts are treasured;however, the value usually is fairly small, a bottle of wine, a music CD, a small book, or other tokens.Case 50:Refuse to Be Treated? In the case just described, the U.S.American medical team system for making sense of the situation demanded that people be seen in order of the seriousness of their injuries or illness.Each person was considered as worthwhile as the next, and so seriousness of injury appeared to be a natural way to determine who was seen first.However, the cultural system working for those on the Virgin Islands demanded that elders be seen and treated first.Their position, age, and wisdom demanded respect.For younger members of the community to go ahead of them in a time of crisis was seen as extremely disrespectful.The conflict centered on efforts by each side to do what they perceived as good and morally responsible.Because the U.S.Americans were in a better position to adapt than an entire community that had just suffered great loss and were under extreme stress, it was good that they were willing to do so.Sadly, this is not always the case.Chapter 9 Intercultural Adaptation Keywords（1）Acculturation：It refers to an individual’s learning and adapting to the norms and values of the new host culture.（文化适应：文化适应指人们学习和适应新文化的社会规范和价值观念的过程。）

（2）Assimilation：It is a process in which members of an ethnic group are absorbed into the dominant culture, losing their culture in the process.(同化：同化指一个民族群体的人们逐渐失去自己原有的文化，接受新的主流文化的过程。)（3）Integration: It takes place when some people desire a high level of interaction with the host culture while maintaining identity with their native culture.This kind of acculturation is called integration.(文化融合：文化融合指人们在文化适应过程中高度接受新的主流文化，同时又保留了自己文化的完整性)。

（4）Separation：When individuals prefer low levels of interaction with the host culture and associated microcultural groups while desiring a close connection with, and reaffirmation of, their native culture, the mode of acculturation is called separation.（分离：分离指人们在文化适应过程中对自己原有文化进行重新肯定认同、保留了原有文化，对新的主流文化及与其相关的微观文化不接受不认可）。

（5）Segregation：It occurs when the more politically and economically powerful culture does not want the intercultural contact, the separation is initiated and enforced by the dominant society.（隔离：隔离当经济和政治上更强大的新主流文化不接受人们与它进行文化接触，人们就会被这种文化隔离在外。）

（6）Marginalization：It occurs when the individual chooses not to identify with his or her native culture or with the host culture.(边缘化：边缘化指人们不仅失去自己原有的文化身份，而且无法融入新的主流文化。)（7）Culture shock: It refers to the traumatic experience that an individual may encounter when entering a different culture.（文化冲击/文化休克：文化冲击/文化休克指人们在进入一种新文化环境中遭遇的痛苦和难忘的经历。）

（8）Intercultural adaptation: It refers broadly to the process of increasing our level of fitness to meet the demands of a new cultural environment.(跨文化适应：跨文化适应指人们不断提高自己的适应能力，以期达到新文化环境的需要。)Case 54: A Fish out of Water This case reflects that the boy is experiencing culture shock, which may bring him some psychological symptoms.Culture shock is virtually a communication problem which involves the depressed feelings accompanying a lack of understanding of the verbal and nonverbal communication of the host culture, its customs, as well as its value systems.Culture shock happens when people have to deal with a huge amount of new perceptual stimuli that are difficult to understand and interpret because the cultural context has changed.In this case, when the American student feels that his familiar cues from his native culture is removed, he becomes to reject the new environment and he displays some psychological symptoms due to culture shock.Case 55: Missing China!This case can reflect reverse culture shock.When people return home after an extended stay in a foreign culture, they experience another round of culture shock in their native culture and they must proceed through the four stages of the U-curve pattern once again.In this case, John, whose comes from Canada, has been living in China for quite a long time and he has got familiar with the Chinese culture.Therefore, when he returns to Canada, he cannot adapt well to his native culture.
