1 Part A
翻译原文:
When two people from two different cultural backgrounds speak English,
they don’t seem to have much difficulty interacting because they use the same
language. But do they understand each other well enough? In fact, different
cultures have different expected behaviors. What is right in one culture may be
wrong in another. Therefore, language learning should go in hand in hand with
culture learning. Actually, people begin to understand their own culture better
only after they have begun interacting with people from another culture. It must
be realized that cultural mistakes in communication make the other side more
uncomfortable than grammatical mistakes do.

参考译文:
当两个来自不同文化背景的人用英语交流时,他们似乎不会碰到
任何障碍,因为他们说同一种语言。但是他们真正理解对方的意思吗?
实际上,不同的文化对行为有不同的期待。在某一文化里被认为是正
确的,在另一文化里可能不妥。因此,语言学习必须与文化学习同步
进行。事实上,只有开始跟其他文化的人交往时,一个人才能更深刻
地理解自己的文化。需要清楚的一点是:跟语法错误相比,文化上的
错误让人更加不舒服。
