【摘要】 80年代以来，我国的外语教学的一个突出变化是文化因素越来越受重视。这是因为语言与文化是紧密联系的。语言是文化的一部分，并对文化起着十分重要的作用。有些社会学家认为，语言是文化的冠石：没有语言就没有文化。从另一方面看，语言又受文化的影响，并且反映文化。理解语言必须了解文化，理解文化必须了解语言。学一门外语不仅要掌握语音、词汇、语法和习语，而且还要知道操这种语言的人如何看待事物、观察世界，要了解他们如何用语言反映他们的思想、行为、价值观等。所以学一门外语必须了解该语言所反映的文化。 本文以语用学、社会语言学、语义学的理论为依据，探讨了外语学习中文化因素的重要性，提出应在现行大学英语教学大纲中加入文化因素这一观点。更多还原

【Abstract】 Cultural factors have been paid more attention in our foreign language teaching since 1 980s, which is an outstanding change in FLT in China. Culture and language are closely related with each other. Language is a part of culture and plays an important role in it. Some social scientists uphold that language is the keystone of culture. Without language, culture would not be possible. On the other hand, language is influenced by culture and reflects culture. Understanding one requires understanding the other. Learning a foreign language not only means mastering the pronunciation, grammar, words and idioms, but also means learning how the native speakers of that language see things, see the world, and how they use language to reflect their ideas, customs, behavior of their society and values. So learning a foreign language is inseparable from learning its culture. Based on the theories of semantics, pragmatics, and sociolinguistics, the dissertation is intended to attach great importance to cultural factors in foreign language teaching and learning. The author of the present paper puts forward the argument that we should add cultural elements to our present College English Syllabus.更多还原
