摘要
从跨文化交际中的文化冲击理论出发,解读"广岛——日本‘最具活力’的城市"一文。分析该文作者,一位普通美国记者,在战后重建的广岛所经历的种种不解和困惑。并进一步分析日美两个民族在对待等级秩序和人人平等,自杀是消极还是积极等方面存在的差异。正是这些文化差异导致普通美国民众对日本文化的误读并产生排斥性情感。
From the perspective of culture shock,this thesis analyzes an ordinary American journalist′s puzzles and confusions,which are presented in his essay Hiroshima-the＂Liveliest＂ City in Japan.The American people stick to human equality while the Japanese people admire hierarchical order;the Americans hold a negative attitude towards suicide while the Japanese hold a positive attitude towards suicide.It is argued that such huge differences between two na-tions′culture leads to an ordinary American′s misunderstanding about and prejudice against Japanese culture.
