前言
学习英语必须必解英美文化,因为语言是文化的组成部分,是文化的载体,两者息息相关。大景事实表明,语言理解的障碍往往不在语言结构本身,而要相关文化知识的缺乏。何谓文化从广义来说,文化是人类在社会和历史发展进程中创造的物质财富和精神财富的总和,包括文学、艺术、音乐、科学、技术、哲学、地理、建筑等。从狭义来说,文化是人们的生活方式、风俗习惯、行为准则等。所有这些,都需要用语言表达。英语有句名言:想要掌握两种语言,必须掌握两种文化。(To be bilingual,one must be bicultural)英美文化对于广大的英语学习者的重要性可见一斑,而对于广大的一线英语教师来晓,如果能够掌握广博的英美文化,不仅能够提升自己的文化素养,能够更加准确、传神地讲述教材,取得较好的教学效果,还能够进一步激发学生学习英语的兴趣和积极性,扩展他们的国际视野。

章节摘录
Scotland is one of the four entities that make up theUnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.The others are England, Wales and, of course, NorthernIreland. Although for centuries Scotland shared a queenand government with the rest of the United Kingdom, theScottish people have always felt that they are a separatenation from England. Scotlands own kings ruled untilthe year 1603 when a Scottish king was made the Englishking (James I). From that time there was only one king,who ruled from England, over both countries. In 1707 theScottish and English parliaments became one. But evenin these circumstances, Scottish affairs were dealt withby a separate department until almost 300 years laterwhen, in 1998, Scotland was granted a parliament of itsown again to deal with its internal affairs. This Scottishparliament still answers to the UK parliament as it cannotcollect its own taxes, but there are many Scottish peoplewho want to change that and who want Scotland tobecome an independent country once more.The Scottish landscape is mainly one of mountains andmoorland and open wetlands, inland lochs (the Scottishword for lakes) and beautiful rivers.
