本书由”东方与西方””不同的无声语言””不同的思维方式””不同的文化取向””不同的文化本位”五大部分组成，每部分由不同章节构成，共20章，有针对性地对冲突、碰撞、趋同语境下的中西文化进行对比研究，总结其差异，挖掘差异背后的影响因素。另外，中国文化长期以来广纳百川，西方文化兼收并蓄，以静态的文字对动态的中西文化进行比较难度很大，有鉴于此，本书聚焦中西文化中传统而稳定的部分，通过案例进行比较，以助读者了解中西文化的异同并能用新的眼光审视自己的文化。
内容简介
在客观再现中西方学者有关中西方文化差异研究成果的基础上，本教材具体内容以近年来的大量跨文化交流案例为横线，以下述五个部分的内容为纵线，全面而审慎地展开：中西文化对比的意义； 无声语言与文化差异；思维与文化差异；价值观与文化差异；文化本位差异。视野较宽：21世纪的英语教学不应仅局限于语言层面，应该把视野扩大到文化层面，因此本教材还强调文化差异意识及敏感性的培养。涉及面广：本教材综合了英汉语言学、翻译学、文化学、文化交流学、人类学、史学等学科知识，比同类教材更重视学生对所学知识的综合运用。时代感强：今日学生的文化交流能力，特别是文化视野更为宽阔，因此本教材案例力求时代感强。
