A Study on the Differences of Sino English Thinking Modes in Cross cultural Communication 摘要 英汉思维差异的形成是由其语言本身以及其使用的文化背景和主体产生的。忽视这种差异会导致跨文化交际的失误，从而加深文化冲突，因此，有必要了解这种差异性并找到处理跨文化交际差异性的方法，从而避免交际中的语用失误和文化冲突。所谓跨文化交际即指“同一主流文化中不同亚文化群体或个人之间的交际”，也指“东西方这样文化差异极大的人之间的交际。”(贾玉新，1974)。跨文化交际学是美国20世纪60年代中期兴起的一门边缘学科，它着重研究了文化与交际的关系以及文化对交际过程的影响。然而，面对来自陌生的文化背景和国家、思维方式，生活习惯和行为方式与我们迥然不同的人，在与之交往的过程中，由于文化的明显差异，不可避免地会出现交往冲突。 由此，在全球化背景下，探求中西文化差异及其深层原因，寻求差异中的有效沟通途径，对加强国际文化交流意义重大。 关键词：思维模式;跨文化交际；文化； 语言 Abstract The differences of thinking modes are caused by the languages themselves and the usages in particular cultural background and main social body. Ignoring these differences would lead to cross-cultural communicational faults and deepen cultural conflicts. We ought to know these differences and look for a way to eliminate them to avoid linguistic errors and cultural conflicts. Cross-cultural communication is an interdisciplinary subject which grew up in the United States during the mid-60s of 20th century. The so-called cross-cultural communication refers to the communication between different subculture groups or individuals in the same dominant culture”; it also means “communication between people from East-West cultural (Jia Yuxin, 1974). It focuses on studies of the relationship between culture and communication, and the influence that culture exerts on the process of communication. However, when facing those who have an unfamiliar cultural background or come from different countries, whose modes of thinking, living habits and behavior patterns are completely different from us. Conflicts are inevitable during communication due to the obvious cultural differences. For this reason, in the context of globalization, it is significant to explore cultural differences strengthen the international cultural exchanges, underly causes for the differences, and look for an effective method of communication in diversity.
