语言是人类用以传播知识和相互交流的工具,是人类社会生活和精神生活的结晶。语言与文化有着密不可分的联系,语言是文化的载体,文化又从多方面丰富和完善了语言系统。对于大学生而言,单纯地掌握语言技巧不足以让他们与外国人进行有效的沟通和交流。而缺乏对文化背景知识的了解则会让学生在交流时产生一些不必要的误解。从这个意义上说,教师在英语教学中加强对语言背后文化的教授与渗透就显得极为重要。 Language is a tool used by human beings to spread knowledge and communicate with each other and is the crystallization of human life and spiritual life. Language and culture are inextricably linked, language is the carrier of culture, and culture enriches and perfects the language system in many aspects. For college students, simply mastering language skills is not enough for them to communicate effectively with foreigners. The lack of knowledge of cultural background will allow students to communicate some unwanted misunderstandings. In this sense, it is very important for teachers to strengthen the teaching and infiltration of the culture behind the language in English teaching.
