大学英语教学中的文化因素在逐年受到重视。研究的范围和深度也在逐渐加大。在二十世纪八十年代,研究停留在问候、礼仪等表面差异上,较为肤浅。比如中国人见面会问吃了吗,西方人听到这句话只会纳闷:我吃了关您什么事?中国人见面时会夸奖对方胖 The cultural factors in college English teaching are valued year after year. The scope and depth of research are also gradually increasing. In the 1980s, research remained superficial in regard to surface differences such as greetings and etiquette. For example, if the Chinese meet up to ask for food, westerners will only wonder if they hear this: What do I eat for you? The Chinese people will praise each other when they meet.
