A:the Manager of Production B:the Manager of Marketing(ask question) C:Chairman(opening and comments) D:Secretary of the Board and vice manager of production. C: Hello, everyone. If we are all here, let’s get started. Firstly to begin with, I would like to quickly go through the minutes of our last meeting. D: Ok, a completely new phone will be designed and on sales in this year, which will become one of the main products of our company to reverse the decline last year. The most important concept of this product is creativity. These are the main content last meeting. We will talk about the new product in today’s meeting. C: Good, Mr. A , It’s your time. A : Fine, Look at this everybody. What you think when you see it at the first time? Beautiful! That is the first we seek for. Our long term competitor HuaWei has almost the best performance and equipment in china’s market. But the appearance and the big black side are their deadly weakness. So this phone has the artistic appearance and the black side which is a difficult problem in technique has been solved for the better user experience. More important, this phone has higher equipment than previous generation to satisfy user’s need. Another bright spot is the camera of this phone that has bigger aperture and higher pixels. The photo it takes will get close to the level of DSLR camera. And it has some characteristic functions for the convenience of one-hand operation. That will be the best choice of cellphones in today’s china market. Do you have any questions? B: Based on your presentation, what’s the main point we should focus on when promoting. D: The beautiful appearance, of course. That’s the first impression the customers get from our phone. A good opening is half the success. Secondly, we should emphasize the performance and equipment which are better than most of the phones in the market. B: Ok, thank you. I will talk to you about the sales plan. Firstly, we sale the phone both on the physical stores and the internet. We provide pre-sale on the internet for people to reserve phones they like. That’s the most effective ways to sell at present. Internet is full of exciting possibilities, that’s why we must use it. Our advertisement should be put not only on the billboards but the internet. We can make a video to show our product’s concept with artistic ways which can attract people’s attention. Also, we can have volunteers to try this phone and tell people about the experience they use. D: Sorry to interrupt, I have an idea. Since the appearance is our most important advantage, we can use and expand it. Different characteristic appearance can be designed for people to choose. For example, we can design different back patterns or different shell textures. Or we can provide personalized service that people’s favourite patterns or words can be carved on the phone to make a unique personal phone. B: That is a good suggestion. It will be put on the agenda. Here are the main content about the sales plan. C: Thank you for speaking. Everyone have done good jobs. So far, it looks as if we have covered all the main points. That’s all for today, we will talk about more details in the next meeting. See you.
文化是指一个社会所具有的独特的信仰、习惯、制度、性格、思维方式等的总模式，是一个社会的整个生活方式，一个民族的全部活动方式。它为一个语言社会的全体成员所共有，也为这个语言社会所独有。文化既是一种社会现象，是人们长期创造形成的产物，又是一种历史现象，是社会历史的积淀物。虽然随着全球经济一体化及社会信息化的发展，人类赖以生存的家园正变得越来越像个“地球村”，中美两国间的文化交流也日趋频繁，但是中美文化差异依然存在。 一、中美文化差异现象 中国有着五千年的文化和历史的沉淀，而在地球另一端的美国是一个多民族的国家，却只有200多年的历史。中美之间的文化差异是巨大的，它是两国人民交流和理解的障碍和鸿沟。中美之间的文化差异是复杂而多面的。 (一)文化观念的差异 中国的传统文化是以儒家思想为核心，历来主张尊卑有别，长幼有序，也就是说，凡事都要遵循一定的规矩，并受到等级观念的制约。例如，晚辈见到长辈为表尊重要主动打招呼；学生要尊敬老师。而美国文化主要承袭了基督教中的新教思想，等级观念淡薄。美国人更注重个人权益，追求人人平等，没有辈份间过多的礼节。子女对父母、学生对教师都直呼其名，子女可以与父母争论问题．或提出自己个性主张。 在独具特色的中国文化中，人情占很重要的地位。人情在中国社会中有其一定的社会结构性，人情与面子是相互联系的，讲情面的人会将心比心、以心换心地回报别人的情谊。因此，在中国文化中．自我评价是在人与人之间的亲情及互相交往的情谊中建立和实现的。中国人强调家族及阶级层次。中华文化崇尚集体主义。人们之间相互信赖，团结合作，当个人利益与集体利益相矛盾时，集体利益总被放在首位。在衡量个人行为时，往往是以道德为准则，注重和谐、群体利益的维护，这与美国文化截然不同。美国人崇尚个人自由，强调个人潜力的发挥，个人目标的实现及个人利益的追求，信奉法律至上。在美国，人与人之间多为互利关系，表现出人情较为淡漠，但却十分重视个人利益和自由，个人自我意识较强。 (二)思维方式的差异 思维方式是社会文化的产物，受到生产方式、历史传统、哲学思想及语言文学等方面的综合影响。受不同文化背景制约的中美两国人具有不同的思维方式。中国人偏向综合性思维．强调整体优先，采用从整体到部分的思维方式，如表达顺序时，要由大地方到小地方，即国家一省一市一区一街一号；表达时间是按年一月一日的顺序。美国人则偏好分析性思维，强调部分的优先，在表达空间顺序时与中国相反，由小地方
荆轲刺秦王 很久很久以前中国战国时代，有两个国家的王子------ -燕国的白哥和秦国的嬴政，他们是很好的朋友，他们经常一起赏花，喝酒，唱歌，游玩。有一天，他们还在游山玩水的时候，突然发现了一面镜子，一面有着神奇魔力的镜子，这是一面可以回答任何问题的魔镜。于是，白哥和嬴政迫不及待的凑了上去。 白哥（上，掏出镜子梳头，做自恋状）：魔镜啊魔镜，我帅么？ 魔镜说：“当然了我的殿下，你是整个燕国最帅的人” 白哥高兴状 然后，张璐上，问：魔镜啊魔镜，告诉我，那谁是这个世界上最帅的人呢？Mirror, mirror, tell me, who is the most pretty man in the world? (魔镜：It’s you)张璐做极度嚣张状。 对白哥说：“小弟啊，拿着这个镜子，自卑去吧，我是这个世界上最帅的人啊，啊哈哈啊哈........ 白哥回到宫中 “欺人太甚了，太过分了，我要报复！！！！我的仆人，你在哪里？” 仆人上 “哦，亲爱的，我来了Honey, I am coming。” 白哥：“错，我应经告诉你多少遍了，你应该叫我最漂亮，最美丽，最英俊，最迷人，最可爱，最聪明和最亲爱的太子丹。I’ve told you again and again that you should call me “my most beautiful、graceful 、handsome、charming、cute、smart and dearest Prince Dan”! 仆人：“对不起，亲爱的，我知道错了，我完全知道你现在的苦恼，我有一个好主意，那就是~找一个英雄杀了嬴政！”I have a good idea. We can find a hero to kill YingZheng~~~ （作杀状） 白哥：Oh yeah~~~. What is the most expensive commodity in this century? Talent!（二十一世纪最需要的是什么，人才！这句话要跟观众交流，最好由观众来回答，然后拍仆人肩膀，做赞许状）好主意，可是谁是好的人选呢？Good idea! But who is the right candidate? 仆人：经调查，有两个人比较合适，一个是李莫愁小姐，一个是荆轲，明天他们将为谁是天下第一杀手而决斗。After screening I have two promising persons on hand. One is Miss LiMoChou, the other is Mr JinKe. Tomorrow they will PK for the NO1 killer of the world. 白哥：“太好了，赶快让我看看胜利者，行么？”Well, show me the winner as soon as possible, OK? 仆人：“好的，开拍Yes.Action II（《十面埋伏》中刘德华&金成武决斗时的音乐）荆轲Are you Li mochou?李莫愁Yes.荆轲OK. I’m Jingke, you know, I will let you know I am the king of the killers’ world.李莫愁Are you challenging me?你想挑战我么？ 荆轲Of course! 耸耸肩表示同意李莫愁Come on!音乐起两人冲上前来“人在江湖漂啊，哪有不挨刀啊，一刀砍死你啊，两刀砍死你啊。。。。”李莫愁倒地荆轲大笑李莫愁痛苦状李莫愁：“发生了什么，为什么你不受伤？What happened? Why aren’t you hurt?” 荆轲：“你根本就不懂的什么是剑，哎独孤求败啊….ai….. In solitude I seek for defeat.. 李莫愁：“Momma always said: "Life is like a box of chocolates, Mochou. You never know what you're gonna get." I got it, Momma is right.（阿甘正传台词）
Cultural differences on politeness between western and Chinese can be found in many aspects of daily communication, including addressing, greeting and parting, compliments, apologies, thanks, etc. In the following, we will look at some cultural different between China and western. When people meet acquaintances or friends, people usually greet each other . The purpose of greeting is to establish or maintain social contact. So formulaic expressions are often used, but such formulaic expressions often causes conflict because of the great cultural differences between Chinese and native English speakers. In English, people often employ the following expressions to greet each other “Good morning/evening/afternoon. “Fine day, isn’t it? ”How is everything going?”“What are you going to do?” Where have you been?”etc. Westerners treat them as real question. While in Chinese, we always say “Have u eaten?”“where r u going to?”to show our consideration. Parting may be divided into two steps. Before the final prating, there is usual a leave-taking. Western and Chinese cultures have diverse ways to deal with leave-takings. Firstly, in English society, during the closing phase of an encounter, from ”I” perspective, reasons for terminating the encounter are presented in mitigatory comments. Typical comments are associated with expressions of apology, such as “I” am afraid I must be off, I have to relieve the baby-sitter” etc. Western people believe that to be willing to visit and converse with someone is to have respect for him.; to terminate the visiting is not of one’s own free will, but because of some other arrangements, therefore they always try to make their leaving sound reluctant by finding some reasons and apologize for it to make the leaving acceptable for both parties. English speakers often signal several times before leaving. “Well, it’s been nice to see you again. I do enjoy our talk and the lovely dinner, but I must be going soon”. Thank you very much for asking me over. I hope we’ll be able to get together again before long…” Consolidation in a wider range of common acquaintances also occurs, in expressions such as “Say
