-.z.從英語學(xué)習(xí)者迷信的角度看中西文化差異摘要近幾年來，英語的學(xué)習(xí)成了全民的學(xué)習(xí)，英語學(xué)習(xí)的重要性也被群眾普遍承受。英語的學(xué)習(xí)者也很早就開場認(rèn)識(shí)到文化因素在英語學(xué)習(xí)過程中的影響與起到的重要意義。語言和文化的關(guān)系密不可分。要真正掌握英語這個(gè)交際工具，具備熟練的語言交際能力，你必須對中西方國家的文化差異有所了解。文化的載體是語言，人們的交流與溝通是通過語言來實(shí)現(xiàn)的，語言是人們至關(guān)重要的交流工具，是把人們連接在一起的紐帶，每個(gè)民族都有自己的文化，每種語言都有自己的表達(dá)方式，語言與文化共存。那文化因素是什么，又如何對英語的學(xué)習(xí)產(chǎn)生作用，我們又應(yīng)如何把握文化因素來更好的學(xué)習(xí)英語。僅僅只是了解文化差異是不夠的，我們更應(yīng)該懂得其文化差異中的禁忌。迷信禁忌是與一個(gè)國家的文化背景和**信仰密不可分的。每個(gè)國家的迷信禁忌的產(chǎn)生也是有一定的文化根源的，了解一個(gè)國家的迷信禁忌對了解一個(gè)國家的歷史、風(fēng)俗很有好處，特別是對學(xué)習(xí)外語的人來說。了解一個(gè)國家的迷信禁忌在與外國人接觸時(shí)就能夠更好地尊重對方，就不會(huì)引起對方的反感及不必要的誤會(huì)。關(guān)鍵詞：英語學(xué)習(xí)者；迷信禁忌；中西方文化差異；差異的原因-.z.AbstractInrecentyears,learningEnglishhasbeetheuniversallearning,theimportanceoflearningEnglishisalsowidelyacceptedmasses.EnglishlearnersarealsobeginningtorecognizetheimportanceofearlyinfluenceandculturalfactorsplayintheprocessoflearningEnglish.Therelationshipbetweenlanguageandcultureareinseparable.TotrulymastertheEnglishlanguageinthismunication,withskilledlanguagemunicationskills,youhavetounderstandtheculturaldifferencesbetweenWesterncountries.Languageisthecarrierofculture,Peoplee*changesandmunicationisachievedthroughlanguage.Thelanguageisanimportantmunicationtool,itisthelinktobringpeopletogether.Eachnationhasitsownculture,everykindoflanguagehastheirownwayofe*pression.Thuslanguageandculturecoe*ist.Whatisthatculturalfactors,andhowtolearnEnglishhaveaneffect,howdoweetobettergrasptheculturalfactorsoflearningEnglish.Itisnotenoughtojustunderstandtheculturaldifferences,weshouldalsounderstandthedifferencesintheirculturaltaboos.Superstitioustaboosandculturalbackgroundandreligiousbeliefsofacountryareinseparable.Thesuperstitiontabooofeverynationisoutofthecultureroots.It’sverygoodforEnglishlearnerstounderstandacountry'ssuperstitioustaboosandunderstandthehistoryofacountry.Thus,whenwemunicatewithforeignerswecouldshowrespecttoeachotherandnottomisunderstand.Keywords:Englishlearner;Superstitiontaboo;Chineseandwesternculturaldifference；thereasonfordifferences.-.z.ContentsTOC\o"1-3"\h\u6311Chapter1Introduction
