人们的语用行为受制于他们各自的文化背景,由于语用中文化差异的存在,在跨文化交际中,人们往往因使用的外语不符合本民族的文化传统,而无法实现预期的交际。作为英语学习者,我们只有通过对比中西文化的不同,找出英语语用失误中的文化根源,才能解决跨文化交际中遇到的困难。 People’s pragmatic behavior is subject to their own cultural background. Due to the differences in pragmatics, people often do not achieve the expected communication because of the foreign language used in their intercultural communication. As an English learner, we can find out the cultural roots of English pragmatic failure by comparing the differences between Chinese and Western cultures and solve the difficulties encountered in intercultural communication.
