跨文化交际作业
一.Race和ethnic
according to the dictionary:
race:each of the major divisions of humankind, having distinct physical characteristics
ethnic:Individuals who consider themselves, or are considered by others, to share common characteristics that differentiate them from the other collectivities in a society, and from which they develop their distinctive cultural behavior, form an ethnic group.
简言之,Race应该翻译成种族,它是以“外表”来区别,正如我们常说的黄种人,白种人,黑种人。

种族歧视主义的英文就为Racist
而Ethnicity应该定义成族群,它是以后天的”文化认同“来区别,由于共同的信仰,语言,文化习俗和历史背景而产生的归属感,是一种主观的自我认定而形成的。

所以少数民族是minority ethnic group,种族歧视我们说是racial discrimination
二.Cross-cultural / inter-culture/ intra-cultural communication
1.intercultural,不同文化间的。

(文化间,跨文化)强调的是对等和相互,而这往往暗示各文化间的价值平等和共性,比如intercultural communication/ understanding / appreciation / exchange;
intercultural communication文化交际,强调不同,突出对比
2.Cross-cultural,(跨文化)似乎更多的承认不同文化的异质,继而需要以某种特别的方式、技巧和能力来打破这种隔阂,达成目的,比如the cross-cultural techniques that enable cross-cultural evangelism / cross-cultural interaction 等等。

Cross-cultural communication跨文化交际,强调文化的交互,文化间的沟通
3. intra 内部cultural 文化的intra-cultural内文化即文化内,
Intra-cultural communication同文化交际,指具有相同文化背景的人之间的交流,如中国人和中国人,美国人和美国人之间的交流。
