White Dress
Ca analysis: The Indian women might think the wedding ceremony is a funeral if they e the western bride in white gown. The ca reflects the similes and metaphors in the text. Culture is like an iceberg: we can identify the color of the dress worn by women in different cultures, but we do not know the values underneath. Culture is like the water a fish swims in: people wear dress of different colors for different context but they usually take it for granted and never ask why.
白色的裙子
案例分析:印实习方案度女人可能认为婚礼是一个葬礼,如果他们看到西方新娘白色礼服。案例反映了明喻和隐喻的文本。文化就像一座冰山:我们可以识别妇女所穿的衣服的颜色在不同的文化,但是我们不知道下面的值。文化就像水中的鱼游:人们穿着不同颜色的不同的背景,但他们通常是理所当然,从不问为什么。中暑吃什么药

Coconut-skating
Ca analysis: The ca reflects the characteristics of culture. We can tell from the ca that culture is pervasive and it’s learned. People may invent different ways for things even as simple as the issue of floor moping. The Philippine woman must have learned this way of mopping from her own culture.

In Malaysia, where most people are Muslims, people think the left hand is ud only for cleaning the body and thus it is dirty and can not be ud to pass food. Knowing nothing about the cultural difference, the American student puts himlf in an embarrassing situation.

A Danish Woman in New York
This ca can reflect assuming similarity instead of difference. When communicating with people from another culture, one is likely to regard and treat other people as “his people”
and to assume there must be only one way of doing things: that is “his way”. In this ca, the Danish woman assumes that her behavior of leaving the baby alone, which is common in Denmark, is also appropriate in New York. Here, she assumes what is suitable in her own culture is also indisputable in another culture. That is why the small conflict happens.
一个丹麦的女人在纽约
这学习没有动力种情况下可以反映假设相似而不同。当与人交流从另一种文化,一个是可能认为和对待他人是“他的人”,认为必须有做事的方法只有一个:这是“他的方式”。在这种情况下,丹麦女人假定她独自离开孩子的行为,这是常见的在丹麦,在纽约也合适。这里,她认为什么是适合自己的文化在另一种文化也是毋庸置疑的。这就是为什么会发生小冲突。
Ca 23:
Girl-ness
This ca can reflect one of the translation problems: the lack of conceptual equivalence,
which refers to abstract ideas that may not exist in the same fashion in different languages. Different cultures may attach different meanings to the same thing or person. Concerning this ca, we should know what young females call themlves is very different in China from the States. In China, "girl" means someone who is young and single. In a way, it makes a female sound more desirable to be called a girl rather than a woman. For most people, "woman" means someone who is married and who probably is not young. In fact, most single Chine females, such as university students, would be insulted to be called "women". While in the West, in formal, public ttings, it is customary to call any woman who is past puberty a woman, even though she may not be legally old enough to vote, marry, purcha alcoholic beverages, drive a car, or sign a contract. This terminology became widespread during the "women's liberation movement in the 1960s". The term "'girl" is sometimes interpreted to be demeaning or disrespectful.
girl-ness
这种情况下可以反映出一个翻译问题:缺乏概念的等价性,指的是抽象的概念,在不同的语言
中不存在的以相同的方式。不同的文化含义是不同的同一件事或人。关于这种情况,我们应该知道什么是年轻女性自称从美国在中国非常不同。在中国,“女孩”幼儿教师培训心得意味着年轻和单身的人。在某种程度上,它让女性声音更可取的被称为一个女孩而不是女人。对大多数人来说,“女人”是指结婚的人谁可能不年轻。事实上,大多数中国单身女性,如大学生、会侮辱了被称为“女人”。而在西方,在正式、公共设置,按照惯例打电话给任何女人过去的青春期女性,尽管她可能不是合法投票年龄,结婚,购买酒精饮料,开车,或签订合同。这个术语普及在“1960年代的妇女解放运动”。青蛙的做法“女孩”一词有时被解释为是贬低或无礼。

Success Story
One of the sources of the frustration and misunderstandings that occurred in this ca was different notions of what was verbally relevant. In this ca, Mary was expecting a much more direct respon to her question. Ms. Goshima, however, was uncomfortable with the question and felt her respon should be very indirect and establish a proper n of modesty before revealing the answer to the question. If Mary had been more pat
ient, she would have eventually heard the answer to her question, but she was not really paying attention when it finally came becau she felt that Ms. Goshima's comments weren't really relevant to her query.
成功的故事
挫折和误解的来源之一,在这种情况下发生不同的口头的观念有关。在这种情况下,玛丽在等更直接回应她的问题。Goshima女士是不舒服的问题,觉得她的反应应该非常间接,建立适当的谦逊的品质在暴露的问题的答案。如果玛丽更有耐心,最终她会听见她的问题的答案,但她没有注意的时候终于到了,因为她觉得Goshima女士对她的评论并不真正相关查询。
