篇一:关于文化的英语作文

On an introduction to Chinese and western culture of appreciation

Culture is a unique human spiritual phenomenon, as a symbol system, which constitutes the essential difference between man and animal, it is to humanity as a carrier, is a property of humanity, and humanity perish. We can say that culture is the main designer and bearers of the human spirit, the human self-consciousness highest cohesion.

The Chinese culture and western culture differences reflected in many ways。For example, food, clothing, music, architecture…First of all, the Culture of China is home to one of the world's oldest and most complex civilizations. Confucianism was the official philosophy throughout most of Imperial China's history and strongly influenced other countries in East Asia. But the America culture as the representative of western culture, the thought foundation are derived from the European Renaissance, the source is the culture in ancient Greece and Rome, Christian influence is far-reaching, the value of individual freedom and rights, pay attention to the practice and exploration. Second, Western culture is based on individualism. But Chinese culture is based on masses (collectivism). For example, in the US, you always talk about individual rights, instead of placing the whole society above your own self. In China, we prefer noodles, rice , JiaoZi as the main course. But In west countries, people

like eating hamburgers, chips, pizza, pasta as their main course. The last, Chinese culture that is based on humanism and people. But West uses law to resolve people and people's relationship. You can never find 'law' well-established in China. Chinese uses ethics and tolerance to resolve people and people's relationship.

In a nutshell. Culture is everything, culture is everywhere. In today's world, no nation and the country can get rid of their traditional culture. With the advance of globalization and cultural exchanges between the countries have become increasingly frequent, explore the overall differences in Chinese and Western culture, and aims to promote economic and cultural exchanges between China and the West, strengthening the "global village" of contact and seek common development.

篇二:苹果公司企业文化英语介绍

Apple was one of several highly successful companies founded in the 1970s that bucked the traditional notions of what a corporate culture should look like in organizational hierarchy. Steve Jobs often walked around the office barefoot even after Apple was a Fortune 500 company. By the time of the "1984" TV ad, this trait had become a key way the company attempted to differentiate itself from its competitors. According to a 2011 report in Fortune, this has resulted in a corporate culture more akin to a startup rather than a multinational corporation.

As the company has grown and been led by a series of chief executives, each with his own idea of what Apple should be, some of its original character has arguably been lost, but Apple still has a reputation for fostering individuality and excellence that reliably draws talented people into its employ. This was especially after Jobs' return. To recognize the best of its employees, Apple created the Apple Fellows program, awarding individuals who made extraordinary technical or

leadership contributions to personal computing while at the company. The Apple Fellowship has so far been awarded to a few individuals.

Apple is also known for strictly enforcing accountability. Each project has a "directly responsible individual," or "DRI" in Apple jargon. As an example, when iOS senior vice president Scott Forstall refused to sign Apple's official apology for numerous errors in the redesigned Maps app, he was forced to resign.

Numerous employees of Apple have cited that projects without Jobs' involvement often took longer than projects with his involvement. At Apple, employees are specialists who are not exposed to functions outside their area of expertise. Jobs saw this as a means of having best-in-class employees in every role. For instance, Ron Johnson who was Senior Vice President of Retail Operations until November 1, 2011, was responsible for site selection, in-store service, and store layout, yet he had no control of the inventory in his stores (which is done company wide by then-COO and now CEO Tim Cook who has a background in supply-chain management). This is the opposite of General Electric's corporate culture which has created well-rounded managers.[236][236]

Under the leadership of Tim Cook who joined the company in 1998 and ascended to his present position as CEO, Apple has developed an extremely efficient and effective supply chain which has been ranked as the world's best for the four years 2007–2010.[citation needed] The company's manufacturing, procurement and logistics enables it to execute massive product launches without having to maintain large, profit-sapping inventories; Apple's profit margins have been 40 percent compared with 10–20 percent for most

other hardware companies in 2011. Cook's catchphrase to describe his focus on the company's operational edge is “Nobody wants to buy sour milk”. The company previously advertised its products as being made in America up to the late 1990s, however as a result of outsourcing initiatives in the 2000s almost all of its manufacturing is now done abroad. According to a report by the New York Times, Apple insiders "believe the vast scale of overseas factories as well as the flexibility, diligence and industrial skills of foreign workers have so outpaced their American counterparts that “Made in the U.S.A.” is no longer a viable option for most Apple products".

Unlike other major US companies, Apple has a relatively simple

compensation policy for executives, which does not include perks that other CEOs enjoy such as country club fees and private use of company aircraft. The company usually grants stock options to executives every other year.

篇三:中国一些传统文化的英文介绍

一、过年由来- -

中国古时侯有一种叫”年”的怪兽,头长尖角,凶猛异常,”年”兽长年深居海底,每到除夕,爬上岸来吞食牲畜伤害人命,因此每到除夕,村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼,逃往深山,以躲避”年”的伤害.今年的除夕,乡亲们都忙着收拾东西逃往深山,这时候村东头来了一个白发老人对一户老婆婆说只要让他在她家住一晚,他定能将”年”兽驱走.众人不信,老婆婆劝其还是上山躲避的好,老人坚持留下,众人见劝他不住,便纷纷上山躲避去了. 当”年”兽象往年一样准备闯进村肆虐的时候,突然传来白发老人燃响的爆竹声,”年”兽混身颤栗,再也不敢向前凑了,原来”年”兽最怕红色,火光和炸响.这时大门大开,只见院内一位身披红袍的老人哈哈大笑,”年”兽大惊失色,仓惶而逃。第二天,当人们从深山回到村里时,发现村里安然无恙,这才恍然大悟,原来白发老人是帮助大家驱逐”年”兽的神仙,人们同时还发现了白发老人驱逐”年”兽的三件法宝.从此,每年的除夕,家家都贴红对联,燃放爆竹,户户灯火通明,守更待岁.这风俗越传越广,成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日”过年”.

土家族民间体育活动之一--舞龙灯

二、舞龙灯的意义

舞龙灯,是中华民族的传统文化活动,各民族都有舞龙灯的习俗,传说,土家族在很早以前没有舞龙习惯。有一年,久旱不雨,禾苗枯黄,溪河断流,来了一位能算天气晴雨阴旱、人间祸福的鬼谷先生,对土家人说:“大家不要愁,今天午后未时排云,戌时下雨,城内下三分,城外下七分”。他这话,被治水的金勾老龙听到后心想,凡间有如此能人还要我管什么水?!顿生嫉妒,便赌气将玉皇大帝命他在城内城外的下雨量倒改过来分。结果,倾盆大雨,水淹城内,房屋倒塌,淹死了许多人这事被当坊土地向玉皇大帝启奏后,玉皇大帝把金勾老龙打入天牢,七天后斩首示众。观音菩萨知道此事向玉皇大帝求情保救老龙。没待观音开口,玉皇大帝就放阴剑把金勾老龙斩成九节。此后,鬼谷先生又来对土家人说:“老龙被斩,是和我赌气而丧命,但他对民间做了不少好事,他死了,你们要为他烧点香纸。”于是,土家人就制作九节金龙,到各村寨起舞,叫人们敬奉,求老龙保佑风调雨顺,五谷丰登。久之,舞龙亦成为土家族的传统习俗。但是,土家舞龙,在城镇是舞全国各地大同小异的布扎龙,在土家山寨舞龙与各地有别,其自成特色。

三、清明节的由来

我国传统的清明节大约始于周代,已有二千五百多年的历史。清明最开始是一个很重要的节气,清明一到,气温升高,正是春耕春种的大好时节,故有“清明前后,种瓜种豆”。“植树造林,莫过清明”的农谚。后来,由于清明与寒食的日子接近,而寒食是民间禁火扫墓的日子,渐渐的,寒食与清明就合二为一了,而寒食既成为清明的别称,也变成为清明时节的一个习俗,清明之日不动烟火,只吃凉的食品。

关于寒食,有这样一个传说:

相传春秋战国时代,晋献公的妃子骊姬为了让自己的儿子奚齐继位,就设毒

计谋害太子申生,申生被逼自杀。申生的弟弟重耳,为了躲避祸害,流亡出走。在流亡期间,重耳受尽了屈辱。原来跟着他一道出奔的臣子,大多陆陆续续地各奔出路去了。只剩下少数几个忠心耿耿的人,一直追随着他。其中一人叫介子推。有一次,重耳饿晕了过去。介子推为了救重耳,从自己腿上割下了一块肉,用火烤熟了就送给重耳吃。十九年后,重耳回国做了君主,就是著名春秋五霸之一晋文公。

晋文公执政后,对那些和他同甘共苦的臣子大加封赏,唯独忘了介子推。有人在晋文公面前为介子推叫屈。晋文公猛然忆起旧事,心中有愧,马上差人去请介子推上朝受赏封官。可是,差人去了几趟,介子推不来。晋文公只好亲去请。可是,当晋文公来到介子推家时,只见大门紧闭。介子推不愿见他,已经背着老母躲进了绵山(今山西介休县东南)。晋文公便让他的御林军上绵山搜索,没有找到。于是,有人出了个主意说,不如放火烧山,三面点火,留下一方,大火起时介子推会自己走出来的。晋文公乃下令举火烧山,孰料大火烧了三天三夜,大火熄灭后,终究不见介子推出来。上山一看,介子推母子俩抱着一棵烧焦的大柳树已经死了。晋文公望着介子推的尸体哭拜一阵,然后安葬遗体,发现介子推脊梁堵着个柳树树洞,洞里好象有什么东西。掏出一看,原来是片衣襟,上面题了一首血诗:

割肉奉君尽丹心,但愿主公常清明。

柳下作鬼终不见,强似伴君作谏臣。

倘若主公心有我,忆我之时常自省。

臣在九泉心无愧,勤政清明复清明。

晋文公将血书藏入袖中。然后把介子推和他的母亲分别安葬在那棵烧焦的大柳树下。为了纪念介子推,晋文公下令把绵山改为“介山”,在山上建立祠堂,并把放火烧山的这一天定为寒食节,晓谕全国,每年这天禁忌烟火,只吃寒食。

走时,他伐了一段烧焦的柳木,到宫中做了双木屐,每天望着它叹道:“悲哉足下。”“足下”是古人下级对上级或同辈之间相互尊敬的称呼,据说就是来源于此。

第二年,晋文公领着群臣,素服徒步登山祭奠,表示哀悼。行至坟前,只见那棵老柳树死树复活,绿枝千条,随风飘舞。晋文公望着复活的老柳树,像看见了介子推一样。他敬重地走到跟前,珍爱地掐了一下枝,编了一个圈儿戴在头上。

祭扫后,晋文公把复活的老柳树赐名为“清明柳”,又把这天定为清明节。

以后,晋文公常把血书袖在身边,作为鞭策自己执政的座佑铭。他勤政清明,励精图治,把国家治理得很好。

此后,晋国的百姓得以安居乐业,对有功不居、不图富贵的介子推非常怀念。每逢他死的那天,大家禁止烟火来表示纪念。还用面粉和着枣泥,捏成燕子的模样,用杨柳条串起来,插在门上,召唤他的灵魂,这东西叫“之推燕”(介子推亦作介之推)。此后,寒食、清明成了全国百姓的隆重节日。每逢寒食,人们即不生火做饭,只吃冷食。在北方,老百姓只吃事先做好的冷食如枣饼、麦糕等;在南方,则多为青团和糯米糖藕。每届清明,人们把柳条编成圈儿戴在头上,把柳条枝插在房前屋后,以示怀念。
