一篇关于美国文化的英语两人对白稿 三分钟内

The argument about American

A:I just came back from a trip to China and I was very impressed with the long history of that country.

我刚从中国旅游回来，那个国家的悠久历史给我留下很深的印象。

B: Last year I visit Europe, it was interesting to see the ancient ruins there, too.

去年我浏览了欧洲，参观那的古代遗迹也很有意思。

A：When I look at our country’s ,I begin to sense what a young country it really is .

看看我们自己国家的历史，我才体会到这个国家有多么年轻

B: Yes there are many countries whose histories were ancient when ours was just beginning.

对，当我们国家的历史才开始时，许多国家已经有了悠久的历史了。

A: The fist English settlers arrived in American about the last Chinese dynasty began.

最早的英国移民到达美国的时候正是中国最后一个时代的开始

B: I believe one reason America has been able to be so successful in so many aspects is that it had no ancient traditions to bind it down.

我认为美国之所以那么多的方面取得了那么大的成功，个原因就是美国没有束缚人的古老传统。

A: Why would you say that? Their purpose in coming to this new country was that they could make a change from the way there living .most immigrants to American were penniless. They came here to take advantage a new way of life.

你为什么这样认为呢？他们移民过来只是为了改变生活的方式，大多数的移民者是身无分文的，他们来这为了开始新的生活。

B: Sometimes think we ignore the history of the native peoples encountered here in the American both North and South.

有时候我觉得我们忽视了美洲，包括北美洲和南美洲和这儿的土著民族的历史

A: Well that’s one .I’ve noticed. However that the remains of civilization in North American don’t appear to be as those in Mexico or Central and South American.

B: Those civilizations must have been as ancient as what I saw in China. They didn’t have any influence on the modern countries ,Why is it?

A: It’s because those were dead civilizations did not carry on to the surviving natives of the land. B: Do you think that’s the reason or is it that immigrants who exerted authotity over the natives were able to suppress(镇压)their traditions?

A: I would think both are explanations, I am grateful ,though, to live in a country where people are able feel free, Freedom in their thoughts as well as in their actions. I am very glad we are not bound by ancient traditions.

I want to make an omelet, so actually this is really silly, I've neve r made one before.How do you make an omelet? 我想要做煎蛋卷，但这实际上很愚蠢，因为我从来没有做过。你是怎么做的？ Keri: OK, Well, I can teach you how I make them, which is the same way my father andgrandmother make them, which is a little special. 好的，我能够教会你如何制作煎蛋卷，这是我祖母传给我父亲，我父亲再传给我的做法，它真的很有特色。 Todd: OK. Yeah! Yeah! 哦，好的！ Keri: First you take some eggs and crack them into a bowl, and whisk them up, quite, sothey're quite high and fluffy, and in a hot pan, and you need a pa n that's that's kind of small,that the sides go up at an angle. You put some oil and heat it up, so it's quite hot, and thenyou take your whipped up eggs, or whisked up eggs, and pour them into the pan, and as it'scooking, if you take a spatula, and push the bottom layer of the egg, to the side, to the sides,an d then to the middle, so the uncooked egg gets to the bottom of the pan. 首先，你敲碎几个鸡蛋到碗里，快速搅匀，因此蛋液有许多泡沫。接着，你需要平底锅，就是那种很小的，两边与锅底有一定角度的平底锅。记得在平底锅内加入油，等油热了，搅拌并倒入蛋液。让蛋液充分加热成型，如果你有小平铲，用铲子将锅底的蛋液推向锅的边缘，推满锅的边缘，最后是锅中央，这样生的蛋液就在锅底加热成型。 Todd: Oh, OK. Wow! 哇哦！ Keri: OK. And keep doing that until most of the egg is cooked so you should h ave a nice thick omelet and then flip it over, you'll only have to cook that sid e lightly. Put your fillings on thetop and fold it over and let it sit just long eno ugh to melt the cheese. 接下来持续倒入蛋液，推平，这样你才能获得厚厚的可以卷起的蛋饼，你只需要用小火煎蛋的一面即可。煎好蛋饼后，把馅儿放在蛋饼上，把蛋饼两端合在一起，放置几分钟，让馅儿里面的奶酪融化。

Idiom_美国英语中的文化

美国英语中的文化 语海拾趣：Asleep At The Switch Asleep At The Switch 疏忽，失职，错失良机 这条短语形成的时间不长，但表达的含义却比较丰富。它最初可能出现于美国，因为英国人所编著的工具书都没有把它收录在内，而在《韦伯斯特国际大词典》及《美国成语词典》都可以查到。 该词中的"switch"指的是“铁路的道岔”，它并不是指睡在铁路的道岔上要自杀哦，而是指“疏忽，失职，漫不经心，错失良机”。美国在经历了南北战争之后经济得到了快速的发展。在当时所有的资本主义国家中，美国的铁路发展得最快。不过当时的铁路全部是由人工控制的，搬道岔可说是一项十分重要的工作。向各方向运行的火车全凭道岔工的操作才能驶入规定的轨道，一旦由于道岔工的疏忽、忘记或者搬错了道岔，便会发生火车出轨的严重事故。所以，“asleep at the switch”就是一件很严重的事情了。例： Don't fall asleep at the switch when the job is offered to you.当你有机会得到这一工作时，千万不要掉以轻心。 第1期COMPUTER-ASSISTED JOURNALISM COMPUTER-ASSISTED JOURNALISM 中文译为『计算机辅助新闻写作』。对英国大多数人来说这还是个新词，但它却为美国新闻界越来越广泛使用。所谓计算机辅助新闻写作，就是指借助计算机收集新闻素材。计算机信息资源丰富，现在美国新闻记者已习惯于利用它收集各种相关资料，根据计算机所提供的资料提炼新闻主题、发现受访对象、获取背景题材和核对主要事实。根据收集到的资料，记者们再借助各种软件如空白表格程序、资料采集程序等研究、校对和处理资料。计算机辅助新闻写作（CAJ）也叫计算机辅助报导（Computer-Assisted Reporting）。 这两个词在英国都很少有人使用，这既不是因为英国人怀疑这种新闻报导方式的实际价值，也不是因为英国报界的网络普及程度不如美国抑或英国记者不谙计算机操作，关键是英国的电子信息业不如美国普及，而且使用此类信息还受诸多法律条文的限制。 第2期 AMBIENT ADVERTISING 中文译为『非主流广告形式』，亦可译为『周边广告形式』，主要是相对于传统的『主流广告形式』而言。作为广告界行话出现于英国还只有短短四年的时间，但（根据《星期天商报》最近的一篇文章判断）现在已经成为广告业从业人士的一个口头禅。非主流广告形式主要是就其所使用的载体而言，它主要是指刊登于户外的非主流媒体（报纸、电视、电台等）之上

Why are you interested in working for our company? Because your company has a good sales record. Because your operations are global, so I feel I can gain the most from working in this kind of environment. Because I think my major is suitable for this position. Because I can learn new things in your company, at the same time I can offer my services to you. Because I'm very interested in your company's training program. Why did you leave your former company? Because I'm working in a small company where a further promotion is impossible. Because I'm capable of more responsibilities, so I decided to change my job.

Because I had some private reasons, some family things. What are your great strengths? I'm a good team player. I'm a hard-working, persistent person. I'm a fast-learner.

英语教学中的文化意识

龙源期刊网 https://www.sodocs.net/doc/5415795732.html, 英语教学中的文化意识 作者：邱胜尧 来源：《读写算》2014年第05期 在美国有这样一个尽人皆知的句子：“When you’re down，you are not necessarily out.”但是许多English learners却对其含义不甚了了。原因是不了解这句话的文化背景。这原是一句拳击术语，在拳击比赛中拳击手若被对方击倒，裁判数到10还不能起来则被判输。但在很多情况下不等裁判数到10，倒地的拳击手便能爬起来再战。因此，这句话的表层意思是：当你被人击倒，并不意味着输了这场比赛。其寓意为：当你遇到挫折，并不一定丧失了成功的机会。 由此我们可以得到启示：在英语教学中要注重语言和文化的关系，应提高对中西文化差异的敏感性和适应性，应树立文化意识并注重文化知识的传授。 一、语言和文化 语言和文化是密不可分的。语言不仅仅是一套符号系统，人们的言语表现形式更要受语言赖以存在的社会/社团（community）的习俗，生活方式，行为方式，价值观念，思维方式，宗教信仰，民族心理和性格等的制约和影响（参见胡文仲：《文化与交际》，1994）。长期以来，在英语教学中语言和文化的这种关系一直未得到足够的重视。在教学实践中，似乎认为只要进行听，说，读，写的训练，掌握了语音，词汇和语法规则就能理解英语和用英语进行交际。而实际上由于不了解语言的文化背景，不了解中西文化的差异，在英语学习和用英语进行交际中屡屡出现歧义误解频繁，语用失误迭出的现象。如：用How much money can you earn a month？来表示对外国人的关心，殊不知这是一句冒犯的问话，侵犯了别人隐私（privacy），会激起对方的反感。中国人以谦逊为美德，如当外国人称赞中国人某一方面的特长时，中国人通常会用You are overpraising me （“过奖”）来应酬，这往往会让说话者感到你在怀疑他的判断力；抑或是用“Where？ Where？”来回答，弄得外国人莫名其妙，不知所云。美国社会学家G.R.Tucker 和https://www.sodocs.net/doc/5415795732.html,mbet对于外语教学中只教语言不教文化有这样的看法：“我们相信，任何这类企图都会使学生失去兴趣，使他们不仅不想学习语言符号本身，而且也不想了解使用这一符号系统的民族。相反，帮助学生在学习语言时提高对文化的敏感性，就可以利用他们发自内心的想了解其他民族的兴趣和动力……，从而提供了学习该民族的语言的基础”。 二、中西文化的偶合现象与文化差异 不同民族的文化有可能存在某些相同或相似的地方，这被称为文化的偶合现象。这主要是由于不同的民族在与大自然作斗争的过程中会有相同或相似的生活体验和经历。这种相似性必然会反映到语言中来。因而在英语和汉语中，我们不难发现许多相同或相似的表达。例如：“披着羊皮的狼”，英语为wolf in sheep’s clothing；“同舟共济” ，英语为in the same boat；“破土动工”，英语为break earth；“三思而后行”，英语为 think twice before you act；“蓝图”，英语为
