【摘要】 文化气象万千,无所不在。作为非语言交际的重要方面,时间信息的传递也具有深刻的文化内涵。不同的文化塑造了人们不同的时间观念。由于中西方文化在哲学观、历史背景、社会模式等诸多方面千差万别,其对时间的观念和态度也存在着很大差异,从而产生了不同的时间取向模式。如何对待时间以及如何使用时间,在很大程度上影响了中西方文化之间进行的跨文化交际效果。通过对比分析导致中西方时间观念差异的文化因素,进而更深层次地理解和把握中西文化各自的时间取向,提高跨文化交际的有效性。更多还原

【Abstract】 Culture is ubiquitous and is everywhere.As an important part of nonverbal communication,the transmission of time message also has profound cultural connotation.Different cultures have shaped different concepts of time.The differences between Chinese and western culture in philosophy,historical background and social system and so on have caused their differences in concept of time and attitude toward time,and as a result,have created different modes of time orientation.The way to deal with time and use time,to a great extent,influences the effect of cross-cultural communication between them.This article,through contrastive analyses of the cultural factors causing the differences in time concept between Chinese culture and western culture,aims at a deeper understanding of the different orientations of time,in order to increase the effectiveness of cross-cultural communication.更多还原
