Diet Culture difference between China and America.(中美饮食文化的差异)这篇可以参考:)~

The main difference between Chinese and America eating habits is that unlike, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of food and will do their best to give you a taste of many different types of cuisine. Among friends, they will just order enough for the people there. If they are taking somebody out for dinner and the relationship is polite to semi-polite, then they will usually order one more dish than the number of guests (e.g. four people, five dishes). If it is a business dinner or a very formal occasion, there is likely to be a huge amount of food that will be impossible to finish.

A typical meal starts with some cold dishes, like boiled peanuts and smashed cucumber with garlic. These are followed by the main courses, hot meat and vegetable dishes. Finally soup is brought out, which is followed by the starchy "staple" food, which is usually rice or noodles or sometimes dumplings. Many Chinese eat rice (or noodles or whatever) last, but if you like to have your rice together with other dishes, you should say so early on.

时间有限,仅供朋友你借鉴,我和朋友一起原创的:

从“欧美文化”到“外文论文”谈起
创意:Golden Jade、Relaxingworld
作者:Relaxingworld 、Golden Jade

一个在欧洲留学的朋友马上要毕业了,论文出现些问题,关键问题是,不知道如何写论文要老外更好的理解自己的思路,但还不能太简单了,那样就失去了意义了,这个难题如何解决好呢,问题给了我,那我就来谈谈我的个人看法。

朋友关键的几点如下:
1.关键我要让老外明白,还不能让他们觉得太明白,没意思
2.问题是我并不了解他们设计人的喜好

其实她的问题就是欧洲的文化如何和中国传统的结合的问题,我给了如下几点建议,纯是个人看法,大家互相学习而已。
首先要明白一个道理,老外的思维到底是什么,还要看他们具体是哪个国家的,因为不同国家的思维模式还有差异的,即使同在欧洲或是美洲。
我再比方说,现在我们要谈给一个德国朋友,介绍给他一种中国文化,如何让他更好的理解呢,这里面涉及到几个方面呢,我来做如下阐述。

如果很难从一个德国人身上发现什么思维模式的话,我们可以换个角度考虑问题的。

让老外明白,还让他们糊涂。但你该知道一点,德国的快速,很缜密作风,想让老外明白你的设计,还要设计几个迷团,就可以了。怎么说呢,你可以借鉴下相声的包袱。还有,再比方说,你可以想想德国人怎么弄足球的,不都是整体严密,局部配合吗。他们的整体让人一看就知道是什么打法了,但为什么中国队很难攻克德国,还不是因为局部配合太精巧了,你在局部用些你的办法,就可以了。我只能让你明白这个道理,让老外明白还糊涂的手段就是,你整体思路清晰,局部用包袱。

至于你怎么想,我再给你比方,我最新写的李白的文章,我设计了n个包袱,其一:李白的经济来源,李白的钱能超越金庸吗。就关联到了,当时的历史背景,和现今的诗人的生存状态。类似这样的,你把你的东西整体给老外,教授一看就知道你是表达什么,但这里面还是有和中国联系的设计因素,靠你自己想出个独特的。设计是相通的,你能说贝聿铭的设计不高吗,法国都承认了,你说呢,他难道没结合中国的吗,鬼知道他怎么想的,就是亮点。不难了吧,你把问题集中到一个点,但呢,你在分解开若干了小题目。就是教练给设计的战术,这是秘密,当然对手要迷糊了,再比方给你说句足球不11个队员吗。11个人可以好多中分配方式,就好比你的论文可以有好多要写的题目,但每个题目的不同,涉及到的具体要找的素材也不同的

你把总的观点找到,告诉我,是什么,就是你要写的,告诉我你三年的最真实的体会呗,关于设计的心得,但这里面还有好多小的局部东西,要展开的,而这展开的就是你说的,不想让老外明白的,因为你在一点点展开说,老外自然不道你还有绝招了,但我觉得不是很难,但难在你千万别把汉语部分弄复杂了,这是关键。因为汉语部分很诗意的东西,你再翻译给老外,他们会更晕,注意的是要结合你身边的example,例子来阐述你的命题是关键。你说的对,可是我想不起来用什么例子让他们理解。

这样,你主题是德国的感觉,但里面装的是国产的,再给你个例子:沈阳金杯做宝马了你知道吗?就是外表是宝马,德国产,其实把里面的都打开,中国沈阳的零件。设计正好相反,中国的名字,德国的设计,必须让外国人明白,这也是难点所在。就这意思,再说白了。德国教练的指挥战术,但队员还不是中国人吗,难道还能排上几个德国人吗,主题是德国的思维,但具体战术还是中国的味道。

在说个更容易懂的身边例子,法国教练-特鲁西埃,他想来中国执教。但中国足协拒绝他的来华请求了,这里面就涉及到外国文化和中国文化冲突的原因了,我来把这里的原因给大家剖析下。

老外的思维是简单、明快为主的。这就是人们常说的,老外的思维很傻,太直白。所以朋友说,论文不会写,其实就要要把主题写的鲜明些,就可以了。而中国人的思维是“拐弯抹脚”的。国外的人际关系不看中上下级的关系,这就是我们能在报纸上看到美国总统来个“狗啃屎”的照片。他们的人际关系是平等的。而中国的人际关系并不是完全平等的,裙带关系很严重。这就是在中国有什么“贿赂官员”的说法了。

从这里我们也知道了,老外是不讲人情的,虽然人际关系简单,但一但犯错了,就会受到很重的惩罚的,所以有的人说老外无情的心。而中国很讲究人事关系的。

说了这么多,这就是中国足协拒绝特鲁西埃的原因了,老特教练想独自,那是对中国足协的大不敬的,所以才遭到回绝的。

所以说,明白了吗,老外的思维是简洁,而中国的人的思维是曲折多变的,这也是中国文化的神秘所在了。明白了吗,其实你主题鲜明,局部变化多些就可以了,但记得万变核心不变,还是足球,不管你怎么设计套路,最后目的,把球踢到球门里为目的,对不?

说白了,如何找到融合点,是个难点,即使我也不是完全能搞定的,更多的还要更深入的思考。
