篇一:商业与文化英文作文 商业和文化的接触增多会导致一个国家特征的丧失: 影响文化:文化不是静态的,而是动态的(notstatic,butdynamic);种文化的改变主要是由于社会环境(socialenvironment)发生了变化。比如说,人们的饮食习惯发生了改变,这是学习夕卜界文化的结果(People39;seatinghabitshavebeenchangedastheresultoflearnedbehaviour。);快餐文化源自美国,有些人将此作为财富的象征(symbolsofwealth),从而喜欢快餐;另外,本地的饮食文化会改变,以适应外国人的口味(suitthetastesofvisitors); 影响生活方式:进口商品的增多,对外国产品的喜好(preferenceforimports);人们更加熟悉他国的文化,而忘记自身的特点(senseofidentity),社会的团结也有所损害(anerosionofsocialsolidarity);服装、饮食、娱乐等等都被两化了(westernized),比如说,西装现在是流行的男性服装(thesuitisthemostpopularoutfitformen); 欠发达国家在技术革新中起到的作用甚微(playasmallroleinthetechnologicalrevolution),所以需要出卖自己国家的主权或者利益来获得国际的帮助(concedesovereigntyandintereststoothercountriesforaid);贫富差距加大(wideninggapbetweentherichestandpoorestpartsoftheworld); 接受西方文化的人们成为一个国家新的统治阶级(newrulingclass);人们摒弃传统的观念(renouncetraditionallyheldbeliefs),觉得传统观念是过时的和低人一等的(outdatedandinferior);主流文化会取代老式的和各种各样的文化(Adominantculturetakesoverpersecultures。),人们不再尊重传统文化(loserespectoldercultures),而传统观念最终成为历史{consignedtohistory)。 商业和文化的接触增多会加强一个国家的特征: 外来文化让人们意识到自己文化的特点,从而更加注意维持这种文化;一种特殊文化会引起世界的关注,人们会更加注意保护。 Oneofthemostconspicuoustrendsinthe21stcenturyisacloserconnectionbetweencountries,inbotheconomicandculturalaspects。Thereisawidespreadworrythatthiswillleadtothegradualdemiseofcountries’identities。Thisissueshouldbeviewedandanalyzedfrommultipleperspectives。 Whenacountrytendstodevelopacloserrelationshipwiththerestoftheworld,itdoesnotnecessarilygiveupitsculture。Cultureisnotadisgracetobutanassetofacountry。Anindigenousculturecandistinguishonecountryfromothers,attractingforeignvisitorsandyieldinghighincome。Asmosttouriststravelabroadforlearningdifferentculturesandsamplingdifferentwaysoflife,suchasBeijingoperainChina,JapaneseteacultureandThaitemples,manycountrieshaverespondedwithprotectingandpreservingtheirculturalidentities,inanefforttokeepthemselvesinthelistofthemostpopulardestinations。Increasedtourisminstillsfreshlifeforceintothesecountries,aidingtheconservationoftheirfeatures。 Whiletourismprovidesadrivingforceforculturalconversation,somecomponentsofaculture,suchastraditionscustomsortaboosmightdieoutovertime。Itseemsthatinsomecountries,thelocalshavebecomemoreaccustomedtoexoticcultures。Itreflectsthecombinedeffectsoftheinvasionofforeigncultures,eitherthroughmediaorthroughdirectbusinessinteraction。Forexample,twodecadesago,sexwasa taboosubjectinChinaandmostChinesepeoplefeltembarrassedtotalkopenlyaboutit。OvertimetheWesternculturehaspermeatedintotheChineselifestyle,andtheChinesepeoplehavebrokenmanyoftheirtimehonouredtraditions。Itoccursintherestoftheworldaswell。 Asoutlinedabove,increasedinteractionbetweencountriesinthedomainsofbusinessandculturecaneitherstrengthenorunderminetheidentitiesofcountriesinvolved,Todatethereisnodefiniteanswertothisquestion。 1。conspicuousnoticeableprominentstriking:显箸的,突出的 2。connectionlinkagerelationrelationship:关系,联系 3。demisedisappearancevanishingfading:消失,死亡 4。multiplemanifoldnumerousvariousmany:不同的,很多的 5。disgracedishonourshamehumiliation:耻辱 6。lifeforcesoulessence:生命力7。conservationprotectionpreservation:保存,保护 8。exoticbizarreoutlandishfromafarmysteriouslyunusual:外来的,奇异的 9。taboooffensiveembarrassingunacceptabledisgracefuldishonourablehumiliating:无礼的,侮辱性的;忌讳的 10。permeateseepintopervadeleakinto:渗透 11。timehonouredageoldlongestablished:历史悠久的 12。interactioninterplaycommunicationrelationship:相互作用 篇二:雅思大作文范文:商业和文化 Oneofthemostconspicuoustrendsinthe21stcenturyisacloserconnectionbetweencountries,inbotheconomicandculturalaspects。Thereisawidespreadworrythatthiswillleadtothegradualdemiseofcountries’identities。Thisissueshouldbeviewedandanalyzedfrommultipleperspectives。 Whenacountrytendstodevelopacloserrelationshipwiththerestoftheworld,itdoesnotnecessarilygiveupitsculture。Cultureisnotadisgracetobutanassetofacountry。Anindigenousculturecandistinguishonecountryfromothers,attractingforeignvisitorsandyieldinghighincome。Asmosttouriststravelabroadforlearningdifferentculturesandsamplingdifferentwaysoflife,suchasBeijingoperainChina,JapaneseteacultureandThaitemples,manycountrieshaverespondedwithprotectingandpreservingtheirculturalidentities, inanefforttokeepthemselvesinthelistofthemostpopulardestinations。Increasedtourisminstillsfreshlifeforceintothese countries,aidingtheconservationoftheirfeatures。 Whiletourismprovidesadrivingforceforculturalconversation,somecomponentsofaculture,suchastraditionscustomsortaboosmightdieoutovertime。Itseemsthatinsomecountries,thelocalshavebecomemoreaccustomedtoexoticcultures。Itreflectsthecombinedeffectsoftheinvasionofforeigncultures,eitherthroughmediaorthroughdirectbusinessinteraction。Forexample,twodecadesago,sexwasataboosubjectinChinaandmostChinesepeoplefeltembarrassedtotalkopenlyaboutit。OvertimetheWesternculturehaspermeatedintotheChineselifestyle,andtheChinesepeoplehavebrokenmanyoftheirtimehonouredtraditions。Itoccursintherestoftheworldaswell。Asoutlinedabove,increasedinteractionbetweencountriesinthedomainsofbusinessandculturecaneitherstrengthenorunderminetheidentitiesofcountriesinvolved,Todatethereisnodefiniteanswertothisquestion。
