新颁布的英语课程标准指出:“语言有丰富的文化内涵……接触和了解英语国家文化有益于对英语的理解和使用,有益于加深对本国文化的理解和认识,有益于培养世界意识”。语言和文化密不可分。在跨文化的语言交际活动中,仅仅做到语法形式上的正确是不够的,还必须兼顾表达方式和表达内容的得体性。与本族语者交流时的语法错误可能会惹人不快,但却可以被他们谅解。语法错误可能表明说话者不是一个高水平的语言使用者,而语用失败则表明说话者的素养不高。 The newly promulgated English curriculum standard states: “Language is rich in cultural connotations ... It is good for us to understand and use the English culture in order to gain a better understanding and use of English. It is good for us to deepen our understanding and understanding of our own culture, ”. Language and culture are inseparable. In intercultural language communication activities, it is not enough just to make the grammatical form correct, and it is also necessary to take into account both the mode of expression and the appropriateness of the expression. Grammatical mistakes in communicating with native speakers may be annoying, but understandable to them. Grammatical errors may indicate that the speaker is not a high level language user, whereas pragmatic failure indicates that the speaker’s literacy is not high.
