Choose the correct answer on the basis of what is stated in the text.1-10: DBACC/DCBDD11-20: CDACB/BDCBA

Explain the following terms.1.The Reformation

The Reformation refers to a period of time in the history.In 1517, a German monk, Martin Luther, led the breakaway from the Roman Catholic Church.The new Christians called themselves „Protestants‟ because they were protesting against the teachings and customs of the Roman Catholic Church.Their demand for reform led to this period in history called the Reformation, which later spread all over the European continent.2.Puritanism

Puritanism is a church broken away from the Protestant Church.Puritans objected that the Protestant Church of England had not moved far enough away from the Roman Catholic Church.They do not have archbishops and their services and the decoration of their churches are very simple.At the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century, many Puritans suffered from persecution from the Church of England.Then, to seek freedom to practice their own religion, they escaped to the New World, where they set up a new nation later: the United States of America.3.The Church of England

The Church of England came into being during the Reformation of the 16th century.It is the state religion of the U.K.It is the most important denomination in the U.K..The monarch is head of the Church of England.The Archbishop of Canterbury of the Church of England is regarded as the spiritual leader.Today it is characterized by being both Catholic and Protestant.The Church of England plays an active role in national life.4.Worship

Worship is a form of Christian service.Attending religious services provides an opportunity

to glorify God among a gathering of fellow believers.Most services tend to involve prayers, singing, bible reading and possibly a sermon.Christians can worship together in public or on their own in private.The main day on which Christians gather together to worship God is on a Sunday.Other forms of worships include baptisms, weddings and funerals.5.Charity

Charity means the giving of help to those in need.The Roman Catholic Church believes that God brought love to the world, so humankind should do good deeds in return to keep the world a nice place to live in.In its earliest days the Roman Catholic Church met the needs of the lower classes.It taught people to work hard as a way to salvation.The church also called for charitable work, giving help to the needy and protecting the weak.It is still regarded as a moral obligation to help the poor, the elderly and the handicapped, and so on.6.Melting Pot

The melting pot is an expression used to describe societies experiencing large scale immigration from many different countries, just like the U.S., where people of different cultures, races and religions are combined so as to develop a multi-ethnic society.7.WASP

“WASP” stands for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.It is considered the basis of the mainstream culture of the United States.The people who settled in the 13 North American colonies were mostly white European Protestant believers.The United States was founded and formed largely by Protestants.8.Self-improvement

Self-improvement is one of the most important values mainly held by Protestants in the U.S.Instead of going to priests for forgiveness of their sins, individuals get guidance, forgiveness, and grace directly from God in order to improve themselves.Some Protestants‟ lives are changed through this.Others believe a relationship with God will improve their lives and will lead them to Heaven after death.Because of these Protestant ideas about personal religion even non-religious Americans often actively seek personal growth and self-improvement.9.Volunteerism

Unpaid service is common in American social life.People think helping others is a way of self-improvement.Individuals make themselves into better persons by contributing some of their time or money to charity, education and religion.This philosophy is called volunteerism.Many Americans believe that they should show their love to people in need by devoting part of their time and wealth.This idea comes from the Christian belief that if you love God, you will also love your neighbors.10.Presbyterian

Presbyterian: a member of a branch of the Christian Protestant Church that is the national Church of Scotland.11.Episcopal

Episcopal:(of a Christian Church)that is governed by bishops.12.Anglican

Anglican: a member of the Church of England or of a Church connected with it in another country.13.Kirk

Kirk: a name often used for the official Church of Scotland.14.diocese

diocese: a district for which a bishop is responsible.15.secularism

secularism: the belief that religion should not be involved in the organization of society, education, etc.16.Non-conformist

Non-conformist: a member of a Protestant Church that does not follow the beliefs and practices of the Anglican Church.17.fundamentalism

Fundamentalism refers to a belief in, and strict adherence to, a set of basic principles.It was originally coined to describe a narrowly defined set of beliefs that developed into a movement within the Protestant community of the United States in the early part of the 20th century.18.religious pluralism

Religious pluralism is a loosely defined expression concerning acceptance of different religions.It is used as the name of the worldview according to which one‟s religion is not the sole and exclusive source of truth, and thus that at least some truths and true values exist in other religions.19.cyber church

Cyber church is the extension the church universal into cyberspace.It includes different aspects of Christian community online, especially by those who view this phenomenon as a subset of emerging church, the developing expressions of the faith in relation to culture change.Translation

1.Christianity was first introduced into Britain by the Romans in the first century BC.2.Before the 20th century, Judaism had been the only important non-Christian religion in Britain.3.British society was more tolerant of Jews than most other European nations.4.After the Reformation, the Roman Catholic Church in Britain experienced much persecution

and discrimination, and had difficulties in surviving.5.It may take diocesan bishops a number of years before they qualify to take their seat.Questions for Discussion

1.Christian Churches: Protestants, Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Churches.2.The fate of America has from the very beginning been closely linked to notions of religious

destiny.The Puritans presented themselves as God‟s Chosen People, searching for the Promised Land.Although the Constitution declares the separation of Church and State, religion has always pervaded American political life.During inaugural ceremonies, U.S.presidents take the oath of office on the Bible.Almost all American presidents have claimed affiliation with an established church.3.New telecommunication technologies would boost cyber churches – especially among

professionals, baby boomers, and perhaps large segments of the elderly in the U.S.One can find religious news and chat groups abound on the Net.Currently, Christian denominations, especially Roman Catholics, dominate cyberspace, accounting for almost 80% of the 10 million or so websites devoted to religion.Recently, an increasing number of religious organizations are using computer technology to spread their message via the Internet to people everywhere in the world.

第三篇:英美文化

(二)带来交际中的尴尬一位50来岁的美国妇女在中国任教,有一位年的中国同事请她到自己家里来吃饭,一进门,女主人就把4岁的女儿介绍给客人。小姑娘用英语说:/阿姨好!0因为她妈妈跟她说过,见了成年妇女就要这样问好。/对,不能叫阿姨0妈妈连忙纠正说/要叫奶奶。不要叫奶奶, 就叫我阿姨好了。0/那太没礼貌了,您比我年纪大多了。0美国妇女脸红了,笑笑说:/就叫我阿姨吧,我喜欢这样。0为什么美国妇女在这种场合会感到尴尬呢?因为中国人和美国人对待年龄问题的态度不同,即文化背景不同。

(三)造成英汉翻译的错位由于文化的差异,用母语互译的方式理解和翻译某些句子和词汇,往往会闹出不少笑话。例如:/BalckTea0(红茶)常被当作/黑茶0,/狼吞虎咽0 英语应为/Eatkileahorse0,有人却译作/akilteawolfandtiger0。尤其是对一些成语和谚语的翻译更要慎重,千万不能从其字面意思来翻译,否则会错误百出,贻笑大方。由此可见,语言和文化相互依存,密不可分,在不了解英美文化背景的前提下,我们就不可能正确理解和运用英语语言。

学习英美文化心得

我是09级计算机应用技术1班的“可乐”同学,本着对外国文化的浓厚兴趣选择了这门英美文化选修课,这门课很有趣,也使更深刻的了解到英美文化的差异和各自的特点,同时结合我国的文化也能了解外国文化与我国文化的差异。英国与美国,是当今世界社会上的两大强国,这两国在很多方面有着极其相似的地方,都说的是英语,都是资本主义国家,都主宰着当今世界诸多事件的走向,都有着严格的法律制度与健全的社会体系,都拥有莘莘学子们梦寐以求的世界上首屈一指的高等学府„„英国人和美国人互不服气,英国人说美国人没有历史,美国人说英国人不懂未来。

通过学习知道英美文化的同源性是不可否认的,更确切地说,应该是美国文化秉承了英国文化的很多东西。英国文化是美国文化的根源。这是因为美国历史受英国的影响。英美文化有非常多的相同之处。但是也有随着历史的演变,文化的传承,独立发展200多年的美国文化由于有不同的生态环境已经产生了诸多变异。今天我们再来看英美文化,已经有很多区别了。英美语言差异,尽管英美两个国家都是讲英语的,但是美国英语和英国英语是不相同的。这两种英语的差异还是很大的,学英语的人都知道,英语中有英式发音和美式发音两种。英国人的英语,相对而言,发音比较清楚,连读的部分较少,一般听起来相对比较字正腔圆;而美国人说英语,则秉持这能省则省,能连就连的原则,因此,对于把英语作为第二语言的人来说,听英国人的发音相比较下会舒服得多,而如果要习惯美音,恐怕只有在美国生活过的人才真正做到了。另外,两国在字词上的用法也有很多的不同。还有英美生活习俗差异英国人和美国人在自己日常生活习俗上也有区别。从服饰上看,英国人非常讲究衣着,讲究绅士风度,西装革履,皮鞋锃亮。美国人则比较随便,想穿什么就是什么,以自己舒适为主,不会去介意别人的评价,别人也不会去评价。有的英国女士接待黄皮肤朋友时,专门涂抹上黄色面霜,以表示对朋友的亲近和尊重。美国人可方便多了,近几年,美国流行大花裤衩,校内校外,老老少少,都少不了它的影子。但这也并不是说,他们到处随意,在一些场合,他们也是西装革履,文质彬彬,很有些“绅士”的派头。但如果一看到没有旁人,这些“绅士”就原形毕露,鞋也脱了,领带也松了,扣子也解了,脚也搭起来了。再有美国人的性格和英国人也是不相同的。有人把美国人的性格概括成:热情、开朗、冒险、创新、奔放活剥、直白的幽默,而相对应英国人的性格特点是:冷漠、含蓄、内敛、保守、理性严谨、绅士的幽默这就是英美文化各自的特点。英美的教育理念不同。美国人孜孜不倦的追求平等和自由,体现在教育上就是美国的教育体制具有多元性、开放性、国际性、灵活性的特点,使美国教育既能满足不同人群、不同层次的人们的需要,确保教育公平和机会均等,又能满足并充分发挥不同受教育对象的个性特点,使教育充满活力和生机。而英国人的保守与严谨,体现在教育上就是严谨的学风,完善的教育体系。它拥有一套严格的质量监控体制,各大院校的教学质量评估与科研水平评估结果向全世界公布,英国的高等教育会定期受到检查。

整个课程老师以认识和解读英美文化为切入点,深刻形象的讲解了英美文化的内涵关联。在提高学生文化学习意识的基础上,提高学生的文化观察能力、文化思索能力、文化甄别能力和文化探索能力。通过这门课的学习我对英美文化有了深刻了理解,让对各国文化的学习产生了更浓烈的兴趣。

第五篇:英美文化论文

American Racism

A popular saying is that America is a nation where people, with diligence and perseverance, can realize their dreams regardless of their religious beliefs, colors of skin and political convictions.However, others frown on this idea.This issue has given rise to a heated discussion.For my part,I’m all for the idea of disapproval.The reasons are mainly as follows:

It is generally known that the United States of America is a nation of immigrants.People of different skin colors,religions and faiths creat the nation — America.And inevitably,religious conflict,racial discrimination and political struggle come along.The most prominent phenomenon is the racial discrimination.Nowadays,the racial discrimination in America remains quite serious.This social issue has been a long-standing problem.In the first place,there are so many roots of racial discrimination.Looking back in history, it began with the slave trade.Needless to say,it is so miserable and disastrous.Between 1650 and 1900, 10.24 million enslaved Africans arrived in the Americas.The transatlantic slave trade resulted in a vast and as yet still unknown loss of life for African captives both in and outside of America.Approximately 1.2 – 2.4 million Africans died during their transport to the New World.No scholars dispute the harm done to the enslaved people themselves.The African slave trade helped to shape a wide variety of societies from modern Argentina to Canada.These differed in their use of slaves, the harshness of the regime imposed on slaves, and the degree of mixing of the races that custom and law permitted.But none of these became as virulently racist--insisting on racial separation and a strict color bar--as the English North American colonies that became the United States.The institution of slavery was abolished through Civil War,a bloody second American revolution that cost at least 600,000 lives.Today,in the United States, although legal racial discrimination was cancelled,institutionalized racism remained intact.In addition, the United States parties which are based on different interests,1

formulate a series of related policies and harmed the interests of black people.The original U.S.Constitution permitted slavery and counted Black slaves as three-fifths of white persons in determining both Congressional representation and taxation, which were deeply rooted the racism in the very foundation of U.S.society.Unfortunately,to blacks,their performance provide discrimination discourse.In the black areas, the excessive crime happen at any moment.Worse still, Black also do the drug trade which undoubtedly violates the nation’s law.Politicians from both the Democratic and Republican Parties got the big calls “tough on crime,” embracing the so-called war on drugs, which tripled the prison population between 1980 and 1995.Two-thirds of those who entered the prison system during that period were Black, Latino or poor, and the vast majority of them were nonviolent drug offenders.Today, with the prison population swollen to more than 2 million, African Americans make up just 12 percent of the U.S.population and only 13 percent of drug users, yet account for 35 percent of drug arrests and 53 percent of drug convictions.Blacks are also 43 percent of those on death row.Last year, the U.S.Bureau of Justice Statistics estimated that 30 percent of 12 year-old Black boys will spend time in jail in their lifetimes--far more than will attend college.And because many states have laws denying present and former inmates the right to vote, an estimated 13 percent of all Black men--including one in every three in Alabama and Florida--have been disenfranchised.In light of racial discrimination,black people conducted a series of racial fights which was called the Civil Rights Movement.The most illustrious march is probably the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.It is best remembered for the glorious speech Martin Luther King, Jr.gave, in which the “I have a dream” part turned into a national text and eclipsed the troubles the organizers had to bring to march forward.The process was long and tenuous,and many of these movements did not fully achieve their goals although,the efforts of these movements did lead to improvements in the legal rights of previously oppressed groups of people.The current status of racism in America are still in poor condition.While discrimination has decreased and old forms of segregation have been recalled,subtle

patterns of informal discrimination in housing,employment,education and virtually every social sphere still persists.Indeed,for many African Americans,discrimination,as of now,remains a central part of their experience in the United States.According to a report of American, the black’s income only accounted for the three-fourths of the white,and African-American family’s income was just one-tenth of the white family’s.Half of all black men in New York can’t find a job,while Black teenage unemployment stands at 37 percent nationwide.As Mr.Bush said,”And this poverty has roots in generations of segregation and discrimination that has closed many doors of opportunity“.These statistics show a crisis among Black Americans that should be setting of alarm.Racism, not criminal records, explains the high unemployment rate for Black men today.A recent Wall Street Journal report showed that in the city of Milwaukee, a white job applicant with a criminal record has a better chance of being called for an interview than a Black man with no criminal record.”The disadvantage carried by a young Black man applying for a job as a dishwasher or a driver is equivalent to forcing a white man to carry an 18-month prison record on his back,“ concluded reporter David Wessel.And only racism can explain these statistics: Segregation in public schools, which decreased continuously from the 1950s to the late 1980s, has now returned to levels not seen in three decades.Black infants are almost two-and-a-half times more likely than white infants to die before the age of one, a wider gap than in 1970.More than 200 years since slavery was written into the U.S.constitution, its racist legacy remains--and the words of abolitionist Frederick Douglass remain true: ”Without struggle, there can be no progress."

In general,only a struggle that shakes the foundation of U.S.society can end racism.As is the always the case,the darkest hour comes before the dawn.A mixed-race man is president says much about the peaceful progress on race relations in America.I believe that the black people can have equal rights and are free to live, study and work as they wish in the future,and people can truly realize their dreams regardless of their religious beliefs, colors of skin and political convictions.
