摘要
随着“全球化”趋势的到来 ,不同文化群体之间的交流活动日渐频繁。科技的进步 ,通讯和交通的不断完善 ,国际旅游业的发展 ,国际市场的建立以及国际贸易活动的开展等因素加快了各文化群体之间交流活动。在这种背景下 ,跨文化交际学应运而生 ,它专门研究因文化差异而造成的交际障碍。不同的个人或群体 ,因文化背景不同 ,所形成的价值观念、思维倾向必然不同 ,从而反映出的人们心理态度和价值观念的时间取向也就不同 ,各种误解往往随之而生。为此 ,应探讨时间取向上的差异给跨文化交际活动造成的障碍 ,分析差异的文化根源 ,同时指出应注意现代社会中超越传统的某些方面 ,即不能完全用传统观念去看待现代社会中的一切现象 ,并提出一些建议 ,以期最大限度地降低因时间取向上的差异而造成的误解 。
With the increase of globalization, cultural exchanges become more and more frequent. The advancement of science and technology, the improvement of communication and transportation, the rapid development of international tourism, the establishment of world markets and progress in world trade, all speed up the exchange activities among different cultural groups. Under such circumstances, Intercultural Communication has come into being, studying mainly the communicative barriers caused by cultural variances. Since different cultures enjoy different values, thinking modes and time orientation, misunderstanding often arises. This paper discusses the communicative barriers arising from cultural differences in time orientation, analyses the connection of time orientation with traditional culture, and points out that enough attention must be drawn so as not to make a hasty generalization that everyone in a culture must share everything. Some advice is also given about how to reduce misunderstanding to the minimum point and achieve effective intercultural communication.
