中西文化存在差异,语言的差异反映着文化的差异,现行英语教育培养出的学生经常遇到文化冲击,影响交流的顺畅。所以,培养学生的英语水平,应该培养其跨文化交际能力,从认识中西方文化的差异入手,使学生正确了解语言差异,灵活运用英语进行跨文化交际。 There are differences between Chinese and Western cultures. Differences in language reflect cultural differences. Students in current English education often encounter cultural shocks and affect the smooth communication. Therefore, to cultivate students’ English proficiency, we should cultivate their intercultural communicative competence, start by understanding the differences between Chinese and Western cultures, enable students to correctly understand language differences, and use English for cross-cultural communication.
