跨文化交际中的时间观——东西方文化中时间观的差异

不同的文化形成了不同的时间观念和时间行为。以东西方文化为例．因为分别持有循环时间现和线性时间观．所以在时间行为上表现出过去时间取向和未采时间取向．多元时间制和一元时间制的差异。不同的时阐观念反映到跨文化交际中．必然会引起交流的障碍甚至冲突。因此我们应该在了解差异的基础上理解差异．并随着国际交往的日益频繁．不断学习借鉴西方时间观中有益的成分。

Time Conception in Intercultural Communication

Different cultures breed different time conception and time behaviour. Take the eastern and western cultures as example, because of the discrepancy of round type time outlook and line type time outlook, they show past-time orientation and future-time orientation and multi-time system and mono-time system. It is inevitable to lead to the culture conflict in interpersonal communication. With the development of social economy and cultural exchange, we should learn and understand different time conceptions in intercultural communication, and borrow merits of time conception from the western cultures.
