37、o the different context,too.Context refers to the actual setting when communication occurs and is also important in nonverbal communication.In this case,Sue knew how to wai and she knew that bowing was generally important in the Thai culture,but,as is so easy to do in a new environment,she forgot to

39、名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 15 页，共 21 页 -16 这个案例反映出非言语的跨文化交际也应该根据不同的语境。语境指的是当交流发生时的现场环境。它在非言语的交流当中很重要。在这个案例中，Sue 知道如何去wai 并且她知道鞠躬在泰国文化中通常是很重要的。但她在一个新环境中轻易就鞠躬，她忘了考虑语境。等级关系在泰国也很重要。Sue 不同的举动可能在一些环境当中是合适的。但是作为一个参观者，她向比她年龄小的孩子做这样的动作是十分让人学生们和老师们困惑和不舒服的。Case35 A Quarrel This case can reflect the different use

40、 and understanding of silence can influence the actual intercultural communication.Different culture might have different interpretations to the silence.The Eastern culture usually attaches more meanings to silence,while the most western cultures consider silence to be absence of communication and m

41、ost rude communicative behavior.In this case,Li Hua wanted to provide the opportunity for them to calm down and think about the matters carefully and so she kept silence,while this silence was misunderstood by Smith as the absence of communication and he might think Li Hua looked down upon him and b

42、ecame angrier.此案例反映出对沉默的不同使用和理解能够影响现实的跨文化交际。不同的文化对沉默有着不同的解读。东方文化通常赋予沉默更多的意义，而西方文化通常认为沉默是交流的缺失，是非常鲁莽的交际行为。在此案例中，李华想要提供一个机会让他们冷静一下，仔细考虑一下事件，因此，她保持沉默。然而这种沉默被Smith 误解为交流的缺失。他可能认为李华看不起他，所以他变得更加愤怒。Case 42 Wrong Signal?Ning Tong was not observing the house rules for watching TV,which was probably why he ev

43、entually stopped saying anything in the argument.Usually,when a Chinese chooses not to say any more things in an argument,it would mean one or both of the following:the person feels that he/she is wrong;the person wants to stop the argument by not talking any more.The latter would often mean toleran

44、ce as one has to resist the impulse of reasoning with the other,especially when one feels he/she is right.When Ning Tong became quite,he was hoping that his silence could stop Tom since Tom would not have anything to respond to.Tom was clearly frustrated at not being able to relax and enjoy some pro

45、grams connected with what is happening back home.Tom probably thought Ning Tong s 名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 16 页，共 21 页 -17 decision to stop arguing was“passive aggression”-making the other person look bad by pretending to be mild-mannered or even not interested-yet not yielding in an argument.错误的信号？

46、宁童没有观察房子里看电视的规则，这就是为什么他最后在争辩中停止说话。通常来说，一个中国人在辩论当中选择不再说话，这可能有如下的理解：这个人觉得自己说的是错的；这个人想通过不说话来停止争论。第二层意思可能意味着忍耐当一个人不得不抵抗和另一个人理论的冲力，尤其当一个人感觉他/她是对的时候。当宁童沉默时，他希望他的沉默可以让Tom 停下来因为 Tom 将没有什么话可以回应。Tom 感到非常尴尬当他不能放松并且欣赏节目。Tom 可能认为宁童决定停止争论是消极进攻-这能使另一个人看起来很坏通过假装态度温和或甚至是不感兴趣-但却又不能在争论中发飙。Case 44 When Shall We Meet Fo

47、r Dinner?Uncertainty avoidance orientation can be seen in this case.In the dialogue presented below,Kelly and Keiko are interacting about a dinner invitation.Kelly,from the United States,possesses a relatively low uncertainty avoidance index,while Keiko,from Japan,comes from a culture with a relativ

48、ely high uncertainty avoidance index.In the dialogue above,Keiko is confused by Kelly s easygoing attitude toward the evening s plans.Coming from a high uncertainty-avoidant culture,Keiko would prefer to plan ahead to avoid uncertainty and prepare her script for the evening.Kelly,on the other hand,i

49、s a perfectly comfortable making plans based on how the evening progresses.Without a plan,how will Kekio know how to act?不确定性规避情况能在此案例中看见。在对话中，Kelly 和 Kekio 在讨论晚餐邀请。Kelly，来自美国，有着一个相对较低的不确定性避免指数，而Kekio，来自日本，来自一个有着相对较高避免不确定性行指数的文化中。名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 17 页，共 21 页 -18 在下面的对话中，Kekio 被 Kelly 随意的制定晚餐

50、的态度所迷惑。来自与一个有着较高避免不确定性的文化，Kekio 更喜欢提前制定好计划以避免不确定因素，并且为晚上的事写出手稿。而Kelly，更喜欢根据晚上事情的进程来制定计划。没有一个确定的计划，Kekio 怎么知道该怎么办呢？A Danish Woman in New York The case can reflect assuming similarity instead of difference.When communicating with people from another culture,one is likely to regard and treat other peop
