英国和美国的文化差异英语作文【精选20篇】

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year。 It means "holy evening，" and it comes every October 31， the evening before All Saints Day。 However， it is not really a church holiday， it is a holiday for children mainly。

Every autumn， when the vegetables are ready to eat， children pick large orange pumpkins。 Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside。 It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin！ These lights are called jack—o—lanterns， which means "Jack of the lantern"。

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween。 Some children paint their faces to look like monsters。 Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house。 Every time they come to a new house， they say，"Trick or treat！ Money or eat！" The grown—ups put treat—money or candy in their bags。

Not only children， but most grown—ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day，they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them。 This bring them the satisfaction of being young。

today, even-increasing people think studying abroad is a good approach to students. i think its main advantage is that students can learn foreign languages better because of the good language environment. it helps them to improve the level of foreign languages. outstanding language level can enhance their core competition when finding jobs in the future. secondly, studying abroad provides people golden opportunities to expand their horizon and learn advance foregin technology. moreover, it is useful to spread and exchange different culture. however, there exist numbers of disadvantages. first, those who go to abroad for studying usually are much young. generally specking, they lack of experience of life and cannot take good care of themselves. second, students will feel lonely and miss their hometowns, especially on Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn festival. furthermore, living and tuition generally are too high that people cannt afford it. so, if you want to study abroad, you should consider the above points carefully.

In china if you invite people for meal, the person who invited other people would pay for the meal but it’s not the way in Western country. In western country people will think you only invited me but it’s not your responsibility to pay for me.

I can afford it. They won’t be happy if you pay for them. People in China would always put dishes into customer’s plate to show their hospitality, but they will think it’s not healthy because your chopsticks have been used by you. In western country like America not England, people will always give tips to waiter after they finished meal in a restaurant.

If you don’t they will not be happy because tips are one of their major income. In china this only happen in some top restaurants and hotels in large international cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Western people will also think you are rude if you make sound during the meal. Western people do not hold their bowl up even when they have a bowl of soup.

前几天，我们在课堂上学了《普罗米修斯的故事》和《燧氏钻木取火》，我对东西方文化也有了新的看法。

《普罗米修斯的故事》讲的是普罗米修斯同情人类，为人类盗取了天火，结果被宙斯惩罚。《燧氏钻木取火》讲的是一个叫燧氏的年轻人在天神伏羲的指引下找到了钻木取火的办法。

他们有着相同点和不同点，他们的相同点是：《普罗米修斯的故事》中普罗米修斯发现人们住在山洞里饥寒交迫；人们被野兽捕食，甚至彼此猎食——人们实在是一切生物中最可怜的了。而《燧氏钻木取火》中大神伏羲想让人知道火的用处。从这里可以看出火的起源都是人类不知道怎么用火、也不知道火是什么时候开始的。所以天神同情人类、可怜人类，想帮助人类。

他们的不同点一：《普罗米修斯的故事》中普罗米修斯他把几个冷得发抖的人从山洞中叫出来，为他们生了火，叫他们用火取暖的方法。从这里可以看出普罗米修斯是直接把火种给了人类。而《燧氏钻木取火》中伏羲大展神通，在山林中降下了一场雷雨，雷电劈在树木上，树木燃烧起来，很快就变成了熊熊大火。从这里看出伏羲是想让人类自己去发现这种叫火的东西。

第二个不同点：西方神话中的西方天神有的是自私、有的是博爱的。宙斯就是自私自利的，而普罗米修斯就是博爱的。在普罗米修斯向宙斯索要火种时，宙斯冷酷无情地说不给，所以在宙斯不同意后，普罗米修斯为了让人类生活条件变好，只好去盗取火种。但东方文化中，东方天神是智慧的，伏羲大神而是教会人们如何得到火种。《燧氏钻木取火》中的燧氏学会了取火的方法，他找来各种树枝，耐心地用不同的树枝进行摩擦。终于树枝上冒烟了，然后钻出火了。这样人类就找到了取火的方法——钻木取火。

从这里可以看出东方是智慧的，什么事都是要自己来想办法的。而西方是自私的、博爱的，什么事都是神来为你受罚。所以东方更相信人的力量，而西方是更崇尚神的力量。

To be an American is, as Henry James famously observed, a complex fate. But complexity was that rococo masters stock-in-trade, which may explain why he returned to his native country in 1904 after an absence of more than 20 years. To be sure, he was interested in a Jamesian walk down memory lane, with its full quota of meditative hairsplitting. Yet he also meant to take advantage of his hybrid status as a Europeanized American. I made no scruple, James explains in his introduction, of my conviction that I should understand and should care better and more than the most earnest of visitors, and yet that I should vibrate with more curiosity ... than the pilgrim with the longest list of questions. Vibrate he did, in the ornate and extraordinary periods of his late phase, and the result was a one-of-a-kind travel book, The American Scene.What appalls him the most, though, is the Almighty Dollar, which he perceives as the preliminary American postulate, the very bedrock of New World life: This basis is that of active pecuniary gain and of active pecuniary gain only--that of ones making the conditions so triumphantly pay that the prices, the manners, the other inconveniences, take their place as a friction it is comparatively easy to salve, wounds directly treatable with the wash of gold. Some will argue that the fussbudget author had spent too much time in England, where money remained a dirty word until after the Second World War. Others may find his diagnosis eerily prescient. In any case, The American Scene remains required reading for anybody interested in U.S. history, Henry James, or the incredible evolution of the compound sentence.

一个美国人，因为亨利·詹姆斯曾经有过一个著名的评论，一个复杂的命运。但复杂性是洛可可硕士惯用手段，这或许可以解释为什么他回到自己的祖国1904年的缺失超过20年。可以肯定的是，他是感兴趣Jamesian重温记忆，完整的冥想吹毛求疵的配额。但他也意味着利用混合地位使欧化的美国人。我没有顾虑，詹姆斯解释说在他的介绍，我确信我应该理解和关心更好、更不是最认真的游客，然而，我应该振动有好奇心……比最长的朝圣者的问题列表。振动，在华丽的和非同寻常的时期他的后期阶段，而结果是一个独一无二的旅行书，美国的场景。是什么国家里有着令他最是万能的美元，他认为美国初步假设，新世界的基础生活:此基础上是积极活跃的经济收益和经济条件获得的只有——成功地支付，价格时，礼仪，其他不便，取而代之摩擦是相对容易的药膏，伤口直接与黄金洗治疗。有些人会辩称，大惊小怪的人作者花了太多的时间在英国，那里的钱仍然是一个肮脏的词汇，直到第二次世界大战之后。其他人可能发现他的诊断出奇的有先见之明。在任何情况下，美国仍然需要阅读美国历史上对任何人感兴趣，亨利·詹姆斯，或者是令人难以置信的并列复合句的进化。

为什么美国文化是独特的

American culture is unique because it is nurtured， formed and developed under certain conditions， which are characteristically（特性）American. The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment， ethnic diversity（多民族） and plural religion， which is quite different from other nations in the world. What is more， these elements are still influencing the American culture.

1. Rough Environment

The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of American. The environment there was very rough but they believed the poor land could purify their mind so they chose the place along the coast. From 1607 to 1892， frontiers were pushed further west. The American frontier consisted of the relatively unsettled regions of the United States， usually found in the western part of the country. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise， opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life. So individualism， self-reliance， and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage（遗产） of American.

2. Ethnic Diversity

The population of the United States includes a large variety of ethnic groups coming from many races， nationalities， and religions. People refer to the United States as "melting pot "and the dominant people are British. American is made up of WASP MM， that is， White， Anglo Saxon， Protestants plus Middle Class and Male. In history， people from different countries in the world rushed to American three times. They brought their own culture to American and later on different cultures were mixed together. Thus the unique American culture is formed， a common cultural life with commonly shared values.

3. Plural religion

The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the right of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States. The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism； almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States. Christianity（基督教） is the dominant religion in American and Protestant （新教）is predominate（主导）。 Any individuals are equal before God and they believe they can communicate directly to God so they can share the same idea. Under the protestant， many new ones are formed and different explanations produce different sect of religion. Churches are independent and American religion is no longer religion seculars. The institution permits the practice of religion and the political power is separate form religion. So there are more religions in American than in other countries.

4. Current influence：

Nowadays， we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children. Many Americans live in mobile homes whose homes are built with wheels. They can be moved. The people in American have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences（住所） every year. The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime. The courage to try something new has been an American characteristic. American democracy means majority rule， but it also means protection of minority rights. There are certain freedom which the United States promises to all its citizens and members of minority group cannot be denied these rights by a vote of the majority. Americans also like to be involved in many challenge activities and sports to show their adventurous spirits. All of these are affected by the heritage of the American history.

From the facts above， we can see American culture is unique which was cultivated， formed and developed by the main three factors， rough environment， ethnic diversity and plural religion and still is affected and determined by them now.

美国人最喜欢的小食品鸡翅

From its humble beginnings and unlikely origins， the chicken wing has become one of Americas best-loved snack foods.

The chicken wing first evolved from soup stock staple to American delicacy in 1964. John E. Harmon， in his Atlas of Popular Culture of the Northeastern United States， points to the Anchor Bar in Buffalo， N.Y. as the birthplace of wings. In 40- plus years， chicken wings have become a truly all-American food， showing up on dinner tables， at neighborhood bars， and in chain restaurants， pizza joints and even restaurants where the wings themselves are the focus.

Pace Foods has improved on the original formula for chicken wings with a recipe that combines the spice of Pace Picante Sauce， the sweetness of honey and the zest of fresh ginger to create Hot `nHoneyed Chicken Wings.

"Pace Picante Sauce isnt just for dipping，"said Chris Foley with Pace Foods. "A recipe like Hot `nHoneyed Chicken Wings， which combines sweet and spicy flavors of the Old Southwest and the Far East， shows how versatile， and yet how easy， it can be in cooking."

With this recipe， Pace Foods had taken the delicacy created in snowy Buffalo and made it the perfect summer food.

鸡翅越来越成为美国人最喜欢的小食品。1964年的时候它首先是在汤里出现的。John E. Harmon在他的美国东北部通俗文化地图集里指出鸡翅已经成为全美真正的食物，它在晚餐桌上，在邻居酒吧里，在连锁餐饮店里，在比萨店里，甚至在一些餐馆里它是主打菜。

美国 Alagnak Wild River（奔河）

Alagnak Wild River is located in the beautiful Aleutian Range. The river provides unparalleled opportunities to experience the wilderness of the Alaska Peninsula.

The Alagnak Wild River， designated as a wild river by Title VI， Section 601（25） and 603（44） of ANILCA， preserves the upper 56 miles of the river in a free-flowing condition， and protects the river and its immediate environments for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. The river is managed free of impoundments and diversion， inaccessible by road， its shorelines primitive and its water unpolluted. The Alagnak is the most popular fly-in fishery in southwest Alaska， and has experienced a significant increase in use over the last several years. The Alagnak Wild River protects populations of all five species of pacific salmon， was well as significant rainbow trout， arctic char， arctic grayling， and northern pike populations. The increasing sport fishery on the river is a topic of concern to many subsistence users and other local residents.

夏天是美国人旅游的好季节

Its summertime， and the livinis easy. For many Americans， this is the season to travel. Why？ Because school is out. Because the weather is great. And most of all， because we all deserve a break. When Americans take a break， they often head for their favorite vacation spot.

Throughout their history， Americans have been people on the move. The early immigrants had to travel to get to the New World. Once they arrived， they settled along the East Coast. But they werent content to stay there. Explorers and traders journeyed to the unknown western territories. Later， settlers moved west to develop these new areas. As a result of this westward migration， Americans eventually occupied the whole continent-from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Even today， Americans seem unable to stay put. Research says that the average American moves every five years.

Besides their habit of changing addresses， Americans are used to traveling. Some people make long-distance commutes to work daily. Their jobs may even require them to take frequent business trips. Most companies provide an annual vacation for their employees， and people often use that time to travel. Some people just visit friends or relatives in distant states. Others go on low-budget weekend excursions and stay in economy motels. Those with more expensive tastes choose luxurious resorts and hotels. Camping out in the great outdoors appeals to adventurous types. Some travel in recreational vehicles （RVs） to camp out in comfort， while others "rough it"by sleeping in tents.

Most Americans prefer to travel within their nations borders. Why？ For one thing， its cheaper than traveling abroad， and theres no language problem. But besides that， the vast American territory offers numerous tourist attractions. Nature lovers can enjoy beaches， mountains， canyons， lakes and a wealth of natural wonders. Major cities offer visitors a multitude of urban delights. The convenience of modern freeways， railways and airplanes makes travel in America as easy as pie.

Many American vacations are as unique as the people who take them. Families often plan their trips with the kids in mind. More and more "family friendly"vacation resorts offer special programs for children. History buffs seek out famous historical sites and museums. Environmentalists prefer "green vacations."These trips allow them to observe flora and fauna up-close without disturbing the sensitive balance of nature. Some people find sea cruises relaxing and refreshing. Others hit the water to go fishing， skiing or white-water rafting. Daring souls get the thrill of a lifetime on trekking expeditions and safaris in remote places from Africa to Asia.

Americans arent the only people in the world who travel. International business， mass communication and jet airplanes have created a world of globetrotters. People all over the world enjoy going abroad to travel. And no matter where they live， people enjoy visiting scenic spots in their own country. But being on the go makes Americans what they are： people on the move. In America， almost every-body is a tourist sometime.

夏天到了，生活很惬意。对很多美国人来说，这是个旅游的季节，为什么？因为学校放假，因为天气很好，但最重要的是，休个假是我们所应得的。美国人休假时经常会去他们最喜欢的渡假地点。

纵观整个历史，美国人一直是个迁移的民族。早期的移民者必须长途跋涉才能抵达新大陆，他们一到达就沿着东岸定居，但却不满于长居那地，冒险家和商人旅行至未知的西部地区。稍后，移民者也向西迁移去开发这些新地区。由于向西迁移，美国人最后占据了整块新大陆——从大西洋到太平洋。即使到今天，美国人似乎仍然无法在一地久居。根据研究，美国人平均每五年要搬一次家。

除了搬家的习惯以外，美国人也很习惯旅行。有些人每天上下班得做长距离的通勤，工作上甚至经常需要因公旅行。大部分的公司每年会提供年假给员工，人们通常会利用这段时间去旅行。有些人去远一点的别州拜访朋友或亲戚，有些则在周末有个经济的小假期，并住在花费不高的旅馆里。品味较昂贵的人选择豪华的渡假地点和饭店；绝佳的户外露营则吸引冒险型的人。有些人开着旅行车出游，以舒适的方式露营；有些人则睡帐篷尝试野外生活。

大部分美国人比较喜欢在国内旅游，为什么呢？其中一个原因是，国内旅游比国外旅游便宜，也没有语言不通的问题。但除此原因以外，占地极广的美国国土提供了许多能吸引游客的地点。爱好大自然的人可以到海滩、山上、峡谷、湖泊和很多大自然奇景地区游览。大城市也提供给游客们很多都市型态的娱乐。现代高速公路、铁路和飞机使得在美国旅行很容易。

很多美国假期非常特别，和参与此种假期的人一样特别。全家出游时通常会将孩子考虑在内，有愈来愈多「适合全家出游」的渡假地点为孩子提供特别的活动。对历史有兴趣的人会找一些著名的历史据点和博物馆。有环保意识的人喜欢「环保假期」，这样的旅行使他们能近距离观察动植物，并且不会扰乱了大自然敏感的生态平衡。有些人觉得海上旅游能使心情放松并感到清爽，有些人则到水边钓鱼、滑水或泛舟。胆子大的人到亚洲和非洲去探险狩猎作长途旅行，享受一辈子难得一次的刺激。

美国人不是世上唯一爱旅行的人。国际企业、大众传播与喷射机创造了一个环游世界者的世纪。全世界的人都喜欢到海外旅游，不管住在那里，人们都喜欢去造访自己国家内风景优美的地区。不过好动的本性使美国人变成今天的模样：成为爱迁移的人。在美国，几乎每个人都有旅游的经验。

美式食物：吃什么就成为什么样子

"You are what you eat."Nutrition experts often use this saying to promote better eating habits. What we put in our mouths does become a part of us. But we can look at this statement another way. What we eat reflects who we are——as people and as a culture. Do you want to understand another culture？ Then you ought to find out about its food. Learning about American food can give us a real taste of American culture.

What is "American food"？ At first you might think the answer is easy as pie. To many people， American food means hamburgers， hot dogs， fried chicken and pizza. If you have a "sweet tooth，"you might even think of apple pie or chocolate chip cookies. Its true that Americans do eat those things. But are those the only kind of vittles you can find in America？

Except for Thanksgiving turkey， its hard to find a typically "American"food. The United States is a land of immigrants. So Americans eat food from many different countries. When people move to America， they bring their cooking styles with them. Thats why you can find almost every kind of ethnic food in America. In some cases， Americans have adopted foods from other countries as favorites. Americans love Italian pizza， Mexican tacos and Chinese egg rolls. But the American version doesnt taste quite like the original！

As with any large country， the U.S.A has several distinct regions. Each region boasts its own special style of food. Visit the South and enjoy country-style cooking. Journey through Louisiana for some spicy Cajun cuisine. Take a trip to New England and sample savory seafood dishes. Travel through the Midwest， "the breadbasket of the nation，"for delicious baked goods. Cruise over to the Southwest and try some tasty Tex-Mex treats. Finish your food tour in the Pacific Northwest with some gourmet coffee.

Americans living at a fast pace often just "grab a quick bite."Fast food restaurants offer people on the run everything from fried chicken to fried rice. Microwave dinners and instant foods make cooking at home a snap. Of course， one of the most common quick American meals is a sandwich. If it can fit between two slices of bread， Americans probably make a sandwich out of it. Peanut butter and jelly is an all-time American favorite.

Americans on the go also tend to eat a lot of "junk food."Potato chips， candy bars， soft drinks and other goodies are popular treats. Many people eat too many of these unhealthy snacks. But others opt for more healthy eating habits. Some even go "all natural."They refuse to eat any food prepared with chemicals or additives.

American culture is a good illustration of the saying "you are what you eat."Americans represent a wide range of backgrounds and ways of thinking. The variety of foods enjoyed in the U.S. reflects the diversity of personal tastes. The food may be international or regional. Sometimes its fast， and sometimes its not so fast. It might be junk food， or maybe its natural food. In any case， the style is all-American.

"你吃什么就成为什么样子"营养专家经常使用这句话来倡导更好的饮食习惯，入嘴的东西确实成为我们的一部分。但我们也可以从另一个角度来看这句话，我们所吃的反映出我们自己——不论就人或文化而言。你想了解另一种文化吗？那么你应该去认识他们的食物。认识美国食物可以让我们得知美国文化的精髓。

何谓「美式食物」？乍听之下你可能认为答案容易得很。对许多人而言，美式食物就是汉堡、热狗、炸鸡和披萨。如果你是好吃甜食的人，你可能会想到苹果派或巧克力片饼干。美国人确实吃这些东西，但这些就是你在美国唯一找得到的食物吗？

除了感恩节火鸡以外，挺难找到典型的美国食物。美国是个移民之地，所以美国人吃的食物来自许多不同的国家，当人们移居美国，他们也将自己的烹调带了进来。那也就是为什么在美国你几乎可以看到所有不同民族的食物。在某些情况中，美国人把外国的食物视为最爱。美国人喜爱意大利的披萨，墨西哥的玉米饼和中国的春卷，但是这些东西的美国版味道却不很道地！

和许多大国一样，美国有数个截然不同的地区，每个地区都以自己特有的食物夸口。走访美国南部享受乡村式的烹调；到路易斯安纳州品尝辛辣的凯郡式料理；走一趟新英格兰试尝它美味的海鲜；再到中西部「美国的面包之乡」品尝可口的烘培食品；乘船游览至西南部尝试一些好吃的墨式德州小吃，最后到太平洋西北岸，啜饮美食家的咖啡，作为美食之旅的句点。

生活在快速步调之下的美国人通常只能「很快地吃几口」。快餐店提供赶时间的人各种食物，从炸鸡到炒饭，应有尽有。微波炉晚餐和实时餐点使得在家烧饭省事又快速。当然，最平常的美式速餐之一就是三明治。任何能夹在两片土司中间的东西，美国人就可以把它作成一份三明治，花生酱和果酱更是一直都深受美国人的喜爱。

忙碌的美国人也趋向于吃一大堆「垃圾食物」。洋芋片、糖果、汽水和其它好吃的东西都颇受欢迎。许多人吃了太多这类不健康的零嘴，但是其它人则选择较健康的饮食习惯，有些人甚至选择「全天然」的食物，他们拒绝吃任何有化学制品或添加物的食物。

美国文化是「你吃什么就成为什么样子」这句话的好写照。美国人代表了范围广泛的背景和想法。在美国可享受到的各式食物正反映出个人品味的多样化。这食物可能是国际性也可能是地区性的；有时是快餐，有时也不见得；它可能是垃圾食物，也可能是天然食品。然而无论如何，它们都是美式的。

How to overcome culture shock

Some good ways to successfully minimize and overcome culture shock are to read about the place where you will be staying and the things you will be doing, also, if possible, speak with someone already living in the new environment.

Once you are there, keep in mind that people and customs may be very different from what you are used to. Having realistic expectations and realizing that difficulties and misunderstandings may occur will help you keep a cool head when they do, and keeping an open mind will allow you to find solutions to those problems that may arise.

When possible interact with the local population. Dont succumb to the temptation to isolate yourself, even if it is within a group of compatriots. Locals will generally be pleased to introduce you to their culture and willing to answer questions. Dont be afraid of making mistakes. When you are eager to learn people are usually more than willing to meet you half-way and learn from you in turn.

Find ways to keep in touch with family and friends at home. Sometimes you just need to talk with someone who fully understands who you are and feels that your way of being is not strange, or rude. Keeping in touch also makes the homecoming process much easier.

The benefits of immigrating to the United States, whether you believe it or not, is an interesting phenomenon in the United States and naturalization, which is that the number of people applying for citizenship has soared in the era of immigration regulation.

A similar situation occurred a decade ago. Dan, a spokesman for the U.S. citizenship and immigration services (USCIS). every time theres an immigration debate, theres always a surge in naturalization applications, says Dan Kane.

《普罗米修斯的故事》讲述了普罗米修斯同情人类，为人类盗取火种，让人类过了上幸福的生活，自己却被束缚在高加索山上，接受宙斯的惩罚，最后，一位名叫海格里斯的勇士救出了普罗米修斯，让他重获自由。

而《燧氏钻木取火》讲述了大神伏羲同情人类，将火赐给了他们，不过，因为某个人的疏忽，让他们失去了火，重新陷入了黑暗之中，这时，有一位年轻人不畏狂风暴雨，不怕跋山涉水，在伏羲的指引下找到了一种永远不会熄灭的火。

从这两则故事中可以看出两位大神---普罗米修斯和伏羲都富有同情心，可是，同样有关于火的神话故事却隐藏着许多不同点。

从《普罗米修斯的故事》中---“狂风终日在他身边呼啸，冰雹敲打着他的面庞；凶猛的大鹰在他耳边尖叫，用无情的利爪撕裂他的肌体。”这段话表现了普罗米修斯的善良、无私和勇敢，彰显了西方神话故事里神的情感，然而，《燧氏钻木取火》中---“年轻人翻过高山，涉过大河、穿过森林，历尽艰辛，终于来到遂明国……年轻人不灰心，他找来各种树枝，耐心地用不同的树枝进行摩擦。”这段话体现了东方人吃苦耐劳的坚毅品格和人定胜天的壮志雄心，东方神话崇尚以人为主，每个成就都来自于人类自身的努力，刻画出了一个个勇敢鲜活的英雄人物。

两则神话的形成截然不同，相比之下，我更喜爱东方神话，因为在人们遇到困难时，他们是靠自己的努力而成功的，不是靠别人的施舍和给予。

东西方神话各有各的特点，西方神话充满美妙奇幻；东方神话充满艰辛智慧，这也让我明白了世界是多元的、美好的。

California is west of the United States and is divided into San Francisco and Los Angeles. As soon as we get there, we can see many advanced equipment and spacious roads, so that we can know that the United States is a vast country.

In the mountains of California, huge waterfalls can be seen. Squirrels are running on trees. Apart from the mountains and green mountains, there are also Disneyland and universal studios in the city. Disneyland has a household name, Mickey Mouse, and many childrens favorite cartoon characters, with scary haunted houses, crazy roller coasters... And so on.

Now, though, the California have developed many forests, but also some forests have been preserved, let the squirrel can run in the trees, the fish can swim in the water, swimming birds in the sky fly, let the animals keep beautiful homes.

This trip to America let me know the importance of nature to us, so we should love this beautiful home.

第一篇：美国文化

This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. The writer O’Henry called it the one day that is purely American. Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday. But it has ritual meaning. Some Americans attend religious services on the day before Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving morning. Others travel long distances to be with their families. They have a large dinner which is the main part of the celebration. For many Americans, Thanksgiving is the only time when all members of the family gather. The holiday is a time of family reunion. Thanksgiving week is generally one of the busiest travel times of the year. However, experts say this year probably will be different. On September 11th, thousands of people died when terrorists hijacked airplanes that struck buildings in Washington D.C. and New York City. Many people now say they are worried about flying on a plane. Travel experts say almost 6 percent fewer people will make long trips this Thanksgiving compared with last year. Many Americans who usually visit family and friends by plane are driving shorter distances instead this week. Some mental health experts say the attacks have frightened people. They say people feel safer and happier close to home. More than any other holiday, Thanksgiving is a celebration of family and home.

The main content of American culture is the emphasize on individuals value, the pursue of democracy and freedom, the promotion of deploitation(开拓, 经营) and competition and the need of realistic and practicality. Its core is individualism: self first, personal need first, pursue of individual benefit and enjoyment, emphasize on achieving individual value by self-strive and self-design. This type of intentionally build up of personality and pursue customized individualism has its pros and cons, it gives incentives to people and make them exert on their potential and wisdom and as a result accelerate the development of the entire race and nation; on the other hand it is difficult to keep good relationship among people if everyone is egocentric thus make the entire society lack of unity.

American citizens emphasize on achievements and respect heroes. They have great sense in their hearts to praise succeand heroes. Personal achievements are one of those with the highest value in Americans mind. Americans have very strong senses of success. Succeis the pursuit of most Americans, it is their attractive future and the incentives for moving forward. They believe that ones personal value is equivalent to his achievements in his career. Some high achievers in their career such as entrepreneurs, scientists, artists and all kinds of super starts became modern heroes. The proceand result of how they strived have become the frame of reference of social culture value and the real life text book for parents to educate their children.

American society has great movements within itself. These movements are shown in two aspects: movements amongst locations and movements inside the society. The United States are relatively more open and have more freedom. Developed transport and the tradition of adventure and sporty makes a lot of American migrate from countryside to cities, from downtown to uptown; and from north to the southern sunny land, from one city to another. Unlike European countries, the social classes in America is not so stable. Further more, with the advocation of public education, movements upwards along the social ladder have become possible. Many people living in the states, no matter whether they are Native American or immigrants from overseas, have the same dream of changing their social claand make their lifetime dream come true through their own efforts. This is what they often called "American dream".

第三篇：美国文化

American culture, in a sense, is an extension of European culture, because the language of the Americans, demographic composition and her spirit of the foundation are from Europe. On the other hand, American culture with Europe, because European immigrants in the North American continent to drive away after taking the Indians, in a barren wilderness land to create a stunning is the splendid civilization. Therefore, in the United States talk about cultural practices and social propriety, it is necessary to take account of the same culture of Europe and the United States, but also pay attention to both of the opposite sex. Cultural practices is a wide scope and complexity of the topic, people involved in social life and relations In all aspects.

Of tolerance.

The United States is a country of immigrants, the ancestors from around the world. People emigrated to the United States, not only in the location to move on, but also in their country and customs of the council to a new place of residence. As miscellaneous, people their differences very obvious because the differences are very common, people do not particularly pay attention to unity. In time, the cultural practices of the Americans formed a higher level of tolerance (tolerance), the different cultures and different appraisals on tolerance, an acceptable attitude. At this point, the U.S. society feasible than the custom of other countries in the world more broadly.

From a political perspective, this tolerance of performance in the pursuit of freedom and the right to freedom of maintenance. From the religious that it reflected in the harmonious coexistence of different faiths. From the viewpoint of life, and it appeared in different communities, different ethnic communities live in peace. In a nutshell, in the United States, each person can basically arbitrary choice of different ideas, beliefs, traditions and customs and way of life; people can also keep a considerable extent, their customs and instrument. For example, Jews can celebrate their religious festivals, and Christians are to their Christmas and Easter. For example, again, the United States by Chinese in Chinatown Chinese live and work; the same token, the Vietnamese immigrants in their "little Saigon" according to Vietnams way of doing business and engaged in various activities.

Americans of tolerance, in addition to the above United States is a country that factors other than immigration, and the frequent movement of the Americans. As everyone knows, the history of the United States in the development of an important part of her history of the development of the western region. At that time, the United States Blazers or hiking, horseback or car, from east to west, from north to south, wherever there are opportunities, there Jiuwang resettlement. The frequent migration and continuous replacement of the Habitat so that people will always be in the "mobile", and the occasional different facing the phenomenon of tolerance and more easily accepted. Moreover, the current migration also can help people expand the field of vision, known more widely know, the different practices with sympathy, understanding, and gradually formed diversity rather than uniformity of the openness of the concept.

As the Americans tolerant of stronger, so very few Americans to impose its will on other people, with China Confucius "by the others do not want to, not to impose on" the very Guxun like. For example, a husband may be a Republican, but he must not support the Democratic Party forced his wife to change political stance. Similarly, perhaps the mother is a Catholic, but she must not have forced her into a Muslim convert son to change religion. In their daily lives and habits of business in normal times, this spirit of tolerance is a common occurrence, commonplace.

美国文化,从某种意义上说,是欧洲文化的延伸,因为美国人的语言、人口构成和她来自欧洲的精神基础。另一方面,美国文化与欧洲,因为欧洲移民在北美大陆印第安人赶走后,在一个贫瘠的荒野地创建一个惊人的是灿烂的文明。因此,在美国谈论文化习俗和社会规范,有必要考虑相同的欧洲和美国的文化,但也注意到这两个异性。文化习俗是一个广泛的范围和复杂性的话题,人们参与社会生活,在各方面的关系。

的宽容。

美国是一个移民国家,来自世界各地的祖先。人移民到美国,不仅在位置移动,而且在他们的国家和风俗理事会的新居住地。杂,人们分歧非常明显,因为差异是非常普遍的,人们并不特别关注团结。随着时间的推移,美国人的文化习俗形成了一个更高层次的公差(公差),宽容不同文化和不同的评估,一个可接受的态度。在这一点上,美国社会可行的比世界上其他国家的习俗。

从政治角度看,这种宽容的性能追求自由和维护自由的权利。从宗教,它体现在不同信仰的和谐共存。从生活的角度,它出现在不同的社区,不同的民族生活在和平。简而言之,在美国,每个人基本上可以任意选择不同的观念、信仰、传统、习俗和生活方式,人们也可以保持相当大的程度上,他们的习俗和乐器。例如,犹太人可以庆祝他们的宗教节日,而基督教徒,他们的圣诞节和复活节。例如,美国,中国在唐人街中国生活和工作,同样,越南移民在他们的“小西贡”按越南的方式经营和从事各种活动。

美国人的宽容,除了上面的美国是一个非移民因素的国家,和经常运动的美国人。众所周知,美国历史发展的一个重要组成部分的西部地区的发展的历史。当时,美国开拓者或徒步旅行、骑马或汽车,从东到西,从南到北,哪里有机遇,Jiuwang安置。频繁的迁移和不断更换栖息地,这样人们将永远是“移动”,以及偶尔的现象所面临的不同更容易宽容和接受。此外,经常迁移还能够帮助人们扩大视野,了解更广泛的知道,不同的实践同情、理解,并逐渐形成多样性而非均匀性开放的概念。

强大的美国人宽容,所以很少有美国人将自己的意志强加于他人,与中国孔子“别人不想,不要对“Guxun像。例如,丈夫可能是个共和党人,但他必须不支持民主党迫使他的妻子改变政治立场。同样,也许妈妈是天主教徒,但她决不能强迫她进入一个穆斯林把儿子改变宗教信仰。在日常生活和习惯的业务在正常情况下,这种宽容精神是一种常见的发生,司空见惯。

I see a show about painting. An exhibition at a private art gallery is a way of introducing a new artist to the public .

The idea is to stage an event that will create interest in the artist and stimulate sales of his or her work. Exhibitions of painting , sculpture, and photography at public museums and galleries are different from private showings.

The works exhibited at public museums are by established, well-known artists. Many exhibitions include works from the museum’s permanent collection—that is, works owned by the museum.

the average family income of the u.s.a. has increased from 20,000 dollars per year in 1992 to 25,000 in 20xx. along with this considerable increase in people’s income, the way in which the average family spends its income has also varied to some extent. the average expenditure of family income is divided into several sectors, namely, housing, clothing, food and drink, transport, medical care, entertainment, savings and other items.

from the table, it is quite interesting to find that the money spent on some sectors such as food and drink (2%) and entertainment (6%) in 1992 and 20xx remains the same. for transport, the percentage of 20xx is only 1% larger than that of 1992. it is also worth mentioning that in 20xx, people tend to save less money than in 1992 because people deposit only half the money they used to in 1990. there is a greater increase in the expenses on housing and medical care, increasing by 8% and 6% respectively. on the other hand, people tend to spend less money on clothes, for there is a 5% decrease in 20xx compared with that in 1992. as far as other items are concerned, there is a sharp decrease in the percentage of family income spent on them, accounting for only 7% of the total.

it can be seen from the statistics that in american people’s life food and drink, entertainment and transport had always been important. with family income increasing, american people began to give first priority to housing and medical care, thereby improving their living conditions and invigorating health. by saving less, they presented to us the implication that they expected a fairly secure prospect.

In recent years, there are more and more Confucius Institutes being built

all around the world, which shows that our Chinese culture become much more

popular than ever. As one of the four ancient civilizations, China has long

history and creates many splendid cultures. The ancient culture once had great

influence on the world, such as Japan, South Korea and other Asian and European

countries.

From the respect of school, Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, and Legalism are

the main schools created in ancient China, and they also have great influence on

the Modern China and the world, especially the Confucianism. They deeply root in

traditional Chinese culture and people’s daily lives.

Specially, kung fu, traditional Chinese painting, poem, opera, cooking,

clothing, architecture and many other kinds of cultural forms make up the

splendid Chinese culture. The kinds listed above are the typical ones which

connect to each other at the same time. For example, painting, clothing and

architecture has many things in common. And each kind of cultural form contains

numerous intentions.

In short, Chinese culture are the accumulation of Chinese history, which

makes Chinese culture colorful and prosperous. If one wants to know or study

Chinese culture deeply, he or she must spend much time in it, otherwise he or

she can only get the tip of an iceberg.

民俗文化(Folk Cultures)

A folk culture is a small isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals. Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family and interpersonal. Relationships are strong. Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties. Rather, each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks, though duties may differ between the sexes. Most goods are handmade and subsistence economy prevails. Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo America is the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving devices of the industrial age. In Amish areas, horse drawn buggies still serve as a local transportation device and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles. The Amish＇s central religious concept of Demut "humility", clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect. The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order.

By contrast a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group often highly individualistic and a pronounced many specialized professions. Secular institutions of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money-based economy prevails. Because of these contrasts, "popular" may be viewed as clearly different from "folk". The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations. Folk-made objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use or leads more prestige to the owner.

Nowadays, Hollywood movies dominate the market and many young people take

these superheroes characters as their idols. So some people start to feel

disappointed about the local culture, because they havent seen its essence. As

the world gets globalization, it is in need of building peoples sense of local

cultural heritage.

The preservation of our cultural heritage is the necessary task. The

culture contains the essence of Chinese peoples spirit, which has been tested

by time. When people admit our culture, we will be proud of being part of the

country, so as to enhance the unity and have the desire to make a contribution

to the society. The loss of cultural heritage will destroy a country, which can

be seen in history.

As the young generation faces the cultural shock in the globalization, so

they are easy to deny the local culture, because they know little about it. Thus

school should implant the education of culture and the government has named a

day called Chinese Cultural Heritage Day, in the purpose of advocating the

essence of local culture. When children grow up, they will fight for protecting

the culture.

On job interviews when first conversing with an individual and when addressing small or

large groups, the first few seconds are critical in setting the tone for how youll be perceived. If she has an annoying regional accent, uses incorrect grammar, has a limited vocabulary, and if she has an irritatingly sharp piercing voice, sounds whiny or bossy or doesnt articulate her words clearly, it s an immediate turn-off. This isnt someone who you would hire or proudly introduce to your friends and business associates. This doesnt mean that everyone should try to sound like a professional actor or broadcaster. All of us have qualities unique to our own way of speaking, our individual voiceprint

as distinctive as our fingerprints. Our voice is very personal and an important part of our identity. Some natural characteristics of our voice may be very appealing.

The idea is to take the voice with which youve been gifted and give it the very best sound that you can. With the right type of practice, by paying attention to the quality of your voice and by knowing how to properly express yourself,you II almost immediately improve your opportunities in job interviews, social situations, in selling, and in azuoweng a meeting or addressing groups of people.

Let s say it again, it all begins with the instrument, your voice. If its sound and quality is flawed and needs improvement, that s where you start. That s what everyone hears whether in casual conversation or in making a major speech to a large audience. Pure vowel sounds, articulation, proper breathing, expressive speaking patterns, a pleasing vocal range, naturalness, all these will make you get twice the result with half the effort.
