第三节福斯特与《印度 第三节福斯特与《印度 4．表现在文化之间的分裂和对立上。文化上的差异经常导致英国人和印度人之间产生误解，造成沟通和交流的失败。 “谈话中停顿不恰当,语调的被误解,使整个谈话都会失败.” 第三节福斯特与《印度 Nothing’s private in India. Like most Orientals, Aziz overrated hospitality, mistaking it for intimacy, and not seeing that it is tainted with the sense of possession. It is only when Mrs. Moore or Fielding was near him that he saw further, and knew that it is more blessed to receive than to give. 第三节福斯特与《印度 Snake？ Again there is a confusion about a snake which was never cleared up. Miss Quested saw a thin, dark object reared on end at the farther side of a watercourse, and said, “A snake!” The villagers agreed, and Aziz explained: Yes, a black cobra, very venomous, who had reared himself up to watch the passing of the elephant. But when she looked through Ronny’s fieldglasses, she found it wasn’t a snake, but the withered and twisted stump of a toddy- palm. So she said, “It isn’t a snake.” The villagers contradicted her.
