10 What is culture? 何謂文化？ An integrated system of learned behavior patterns that are characteristic of any given society. It refers to the total way of life, including how people think, feel and behave 文化是一種具有社會群體特色並透過學 習而得之行為模式的整合系統，係指整 體的生活方式，包括人們的思考方式、 感受與行為。

11 Ethnocentrism: 民族優越感：
The universal tendency for any culture to see its own values and practices as natural and correct. 任何文化都有一個共通的現象，那 就是認為自身文化的價值觀與實踐 是合乎常情且正確的。

12 Ethnocentrism: 民族優越感： All cultures are ethnocentric - and must be to impart their values to their members. 所有的文化都具有民族優越感， 並將文化的價值觀傳授給其文化 社會的成員。

13 The most common ethnocentric assumption is that we can translate literally from one language to another, which leads to both humorous and serious mistakes. 最常見的民族優越表現是從字面上將一種語言翻譯成另種語言，但這往往導致了可笑的嚴重錯誤。

14 What do they mean? 這些都是什麼意思呢？
In a Bangkok dry cleaner's: Drop your trousers here for best results. In a Norwegian cocktail lounge: Ladies are requested not to have children in the bar. 曼谷的一家乾洗店寫著： 想要洗乾淨，在這裡脫下您的褲子。 在挪威的一間酒吧寫著： 女士不能在酒吧裡生小孩。

15 Dr. No We don’t want a doctor Titanic Ship Outta Luck!
我們不需要醫生 Titanic Ship Outta Luck! 鐵達尼號 運氣不佳的船！

16 The Sound of Music (美國影片，台譯：「真善美」)
In Mexico it was translated as “The Rebel Novice Nun” 在墨西哥翻譯為「 The Rebel Novice Nun (反抗的見習修女)」。 Bad Santa (美國影片，台譯：「聖誕壞公公」) In the Czech Republic it was translated as “Santa Is A Pervert” 在捷克翻譯為「 Santa Is A Pervert (聖誕老公公是變態)」。 Knocked Up (美國影片，台譯：「好孕臨門」) In China it was translated as “One Night, Big Belly” 中國翻譯為「 One Night, Big Belly (一夜大肚)」。 Grease (美國影片，台譯：「火爆浪子」) In Venezuela it was translated as “Vaselina” 在委內瑞拉翻譯為「Vaselina (凡士林 )」。

17 Advertising translations: 廣告翻譯：
In China, Pepsi’s slogan “come alive with Pepsi” became “Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead”. 在中國，百事可樂的廣告標語「與百事共享充滿活力的生活」被翻譯成「百事使你的祖先起死回生」。 In Latin America Chevrolet’s new car the “Nova” Translated into Spanish as “No Va” (doesn’t go) 在拉丁美洲，雪佛蘭的新車Nova (中文意思為「新星」)，但翻譯為西班牙語後，變成了「No Va (不去)」。 And my favorite, the Swedish maker of the vacuum Electrolux came up with the American slogan… 還有我最喜愛的瑞典吸塵器製造商伊萊克斯，其廣告標語原意欲表達「沒有比伊萊克斯還能吸的東西了」，可是翻成英文後….

18 “Nothing sucks like Electrolux!”
沒有比伊萊克斯更爛的！

19 At first we will be dependent upon translators – sometimes a risky business
一開始，我們會想要尋求翻譯員的幫助–但有時候這是很冒險的

20

21 Sometimes, even when we are trying, pronunciation leads to problems!
有時候，即便我們已經盡了全力， 但發音也會導致其他問題！

23 任何文化都有一個共通的現象，那就是認為自身文化的價值觀與實踐是合乎常情且正確的。 What is Ethnorelativism?
What is Ethnocentrism? 何謂民族優越感？ The universal tendency for any culture to see its own values and practices as natural and correct. 任何文化都有一個共通的現象，那就是認為自身文化的價值觀與實踐是合乎常情且正確的。 What is Ethnorelativism? 何謂民族相對主義？ The acquired (learned) ability to see many values and behaviors as cultural rather than universal. Not right, not wrong, just different. 培養（學習）能夠看見不同價值觀與行為的能力，而不是一概而論。只有不同，而沒有對與錯。 One World or Many.doc 

24 In a new culture everything is harder 在一個新的文化裡，任何事都變得 困難了

25 Our own culture, or sub-culture, comes to us as naturally and unconsciously as our handedness. 我們很自然且不自覺地接受自身的文化或者次文化， 這就好比慣用哪一隻手一樣。 We generally don’t think about what hand we will use to write our names. 通常我們不會去考慮用哪一隻手寫名字。 Changing our cultural point of view is about as hard as changing our handedness. Both are possible, but neither is easy. 改變自身的文化觀點猶如改變我們慣用的那隻手， 雖然都有可能，但都不容易。

26 Handwriting exercise 書寫練習

27 Unconscious beliefs and values
The Cultural Iceberg 文化冰山 Conscious behaviors 有意識的行為 1/8th above the surface 1/8的面積在水面上 Unconscious beliefs and values 無意識的信念與價值觀 7/8ths below the surface 7/8的面積在水面下

28 Advice often mistakenly given to American Outbound students (from an ethnocentric point of view): 美國的派遣學生被錯誤地給予建議 (從民族優越的價值觀點來看)： Just be yourself! 做你自己！

29 Consider the new culture to be an iceberg 將新文化視為一座冰山
