从时间观念角度研究跨文化交流中的障碍及其对策_英语论文

On Barriers and Countermeasures in Intercultural Communication from the Perspective of Time Perception

摘要

经济发展促进了文化繁荣，经济全球化进程的加快使跨文化交流成为人们生活中不可或缺的一部分。掌握一定的跨文化交际知识，不仅能够帮助人们了解不同文化的差异，还可以使人们在跨文化交际中处于主导地位。然而，如果对跨文化交际知识知之甚少，就必然导致跨文化交际障碍，进而影响一系列交际活动的成效，有可能最终导致交流的失败。

本文主要从时间取向、时间体系以及对待时间的态度等方面讨论中西方不同的时间观念。此外，还指出了因时间观念差异所引起的跨文化交流障碍，主要体现在交际行为、思考模式以及价值体系等方面。最后，据此提出可行性对策，旨在培养跨文化交际的能力，以求从业者能够在跨文化交际中处于主导地位。

Abstract

Economic development promotes the prosperity of culture. With economic globalization, intercultural communication has become an indispensable part of people's life. To master the knowledge of intercultural communication can not only help people understand the cultural differences, but also help them take the initiative in intercultural communication. On the contrary, little knowledge of intercultural communication will inevitably lead to intercultural communication barriers, affecting the effectiveness of a series of communication activities, ultimately leading to communication failure to some degree.

This paper mainly discusses different perceptions to time between Chinese culture and Western culture from the time orientation, the time system, and attitudes towards time. In addition, it also points out the intercultural communication barriers caused by different perceptions to time, which usually occur in different aspects, such as communicative behaviors, thinking patterns, and value systems. Finally, the author puts forward feasible countermeasures to cultivate intercultural communication ability of practitioners, taking the dominant position in intercultural communication.
