After the third clip, Zhuo Ling said: "This part is the difference in values. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"The value-oriented cultural model can be divided into three categories: one is the past orientation, which emphasizes respect for tradition, history, and religion. The second is the orientation of the present, usually focusing on short-term and short-term interests. The third is the orientation of the future. The future-oriented attitude is the time attitude of most Americans, who have an eye on the future and are full of longing and anticipation for the future. They think that what they are doing at the moment must not be as good as the future, and that the future will be the most attractive to them. The Mexican culture reflected in the film is typically time-oriented, with Victoria's father emphasizing that his family can trace the ancestor back 400 years to some of the finest families in Mexico. ”

"Victoria's grandfather also emphasized that the history of his family's grapes dates back to 1580, when the first generation of the Pedro family came to Mexico from Spain, as [descendent of the first finest root], and Victoria's grandmother came from the old and famous Aztec family. In contrast, Paul has more unrealistic hopes for the future, he hopes to have "perfect little house, kid, greatest job" in the future, and his chocolate selling trip is to "try and figure things out for myself"

Glancing at Liu Chen with resentment, he continued: "And in our country, the only way out for children in those poor and remote places is to study, I have personally seen that kind of desperate poverty, many children run around without shoes, they don't know KFC, they don't know sneakers, they don't know computers, they don't even see trains, they study hard you can't imagine. High school life is like an ascetic, with no ears to what's going on outside the window. ”

"Even though they can get into a very prestigious school, heh, but after entering the university. The overall quality is also a big step behind, take English as an example, it is completely dumb English, I can't understand and speak, and I am not good at all kinds of sports. None of them are proficient in various musical instruments, they think that they will be carp jumping into the dragon gate after passing the college entrance examination, they are not familiar with entering the big city and are still struggling at the bottom, the shallowness of family education determines their vision, and they are destined to be just an exam machine, frustrated and painful to live, I think if this is not a movie, Victoria is not pregnant and abandoned, Paul is just a loser who runs around selling chocolate. ”

Of course, Liu Chen knew that Ma Rui meant something, and every sentence was aimed at him. Tell him the reality of this society, don't think that studying hard and being admitted to a prestigious school will lead to the sky in one step, don't think that knowing some skills will make your heart higher than the sky, and these words obviously hit the soft place in his heart.

In his previous life, he was like this, although he was a super scholar, although he had first-class technology, but the limitations of his background were too big for a poor boy who developed in a big city, he was determined to change his fate, but he found that he was restrained everywhere, and the same was true for those classmates from remote and backward places.

Compare yourself to the kids from the big city. It's just stupid, basketball can't, football can't, the economy is tight. Life is poor, and thinking is limited, even when it is K songs, it will only roar some songs that rely purely on volume.

In my previous life, I once read an article, "How many years will I struggle to drink coffee with you", and children in big cities are really more different from small places in all aspects, not only universities. The gap in entering society is even more pronounced, and it is not at all possible to make up for it with ordinary efforts.

Ma Rui smiled: "Students, you should be glad to be born in Sioux City, and now you can accept the guidance of Teacher Zhuo, analyze Hollywood movies, understand American culture, understand Mexican culture, children in those remote places are still memorizing English words while herding cows, no matter how big your vocabulary is, it's all dumb English, you can't understand, you can't speak, heh, it's a joke to take English classes in college." ”

The classmates burst into laughter, and a sense of superiority rose in their hearts.

Liu Chen felt a pain in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Teacher Ma Rui said it very well, but I think it is not shameful to be born in a backward place and a poor family, no one can choose the starting point, your point of view is really a bit exaggerated." ”

He was in a hurry and didn't speak English.

Ma Rui's eyes flickered, and he smiled: "What I'm saying is the truth, it's just that some people like to deceive themselves." ”

Zhuo Ling saw that the atmosphere between the two was a little wrong, and pulled Ma Rui and said: "There is also a high-context and low-context communication method in this movie, so I will demonstrate it to you with Mr. Ma Rui." ”

Ma Rui said with a smile: "Teacher Liu Chen's courseware is so good, and he is fluent in speaking, this conversation is three people, so it is better to invite him to demonstrate together." ”

Zhuo Ling thought about it, and looked at Liu Chen with inquiring eyes.

"Why not. Liu Chen walked up.

……

Victoria: Where are you from?

Paul: Moline, Moline, Illinois.

Daddy Vita: Wherever that is.

Victoria: It is in the middle of the country, exactly in the middle, right?

Paul: Right.

And your parents, they are still in Moline?

I never knew my parents.

Daddy Wei: Oh. Who brought you up, the fairies?

Paul: I grew up in a home. I meant an orphanage.

……

Of course, Victoria is Zhuo Ling, Wei's father is Ma Rui, and Liu Chen is the sad Paul.

Zhuo Ling said: "In high contexts, most of the information either exists in the material context or is internalized in the communicator, and rarely appears in the clearly coded information. In low contexts, the opposite is true, where large amounts of information are conveyed by clearly coded messages. The characteristics of high-level and low-context culture are undoubtedly expressed in this dialogue. In high-context cultures, language expressions are vague and implicit, information exists more in the connotation of culture, most information does not have to be expressed explicitly, semantics usually exist outside the language, people listen to words, and the communicators are neither required nor expected to provide detailed language information. ”

Ma Rui obviously didn't expect Liu Chen's spoken language to be quite good, which was remarkable, and his plan to make a fool of him was not successful, and said with a smile: "Judging from the characteristics of Mexico's high-context culture, my response to Liu Chen's coming from Illinois just now is Wherever that is, and the extraneous voice is the rejection of an outsider like Liu Chen." However, as a low-context communicator, Mr. Liu Chen did not receive the outside of the conversation, so he answered "right" directly to Mr. Zhuo Ling's questions, which was obviously offensive to me. ”

He deliberately did not mention the three characters in the movie, but used Liu Chen to refer to him to show his high-context skills.

Then I continued to inquire about Liu Chen's parents to learn more about him, and learned that he never knew who his parents were, and that the emphasis on history in Mexican culture, as well as the importance of the illustrious history of the family and the family, made me extremely dissatisfied with Liu Chen's answer, and then cross-examined and sarcastic. ”

【who brought you up, the fairies?】

However, as a low-context communicator, Mr. Liu Chen did not respond to a large amount of contextual information in my words that was not encoded in clear words, but only understood the superficial meaning and answered with orphanage, which obviously deepened the offense to me and escalated the conflict. ”

Ma Rui said with a smile.

Liu Chen's face was always calm, ignoring Ma Rui's finger scolding, mocking him by analyzing the context of the movie, and said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, high context means that every sentence has an extraneous sound, and any meaning is not directly expressed, just like every sentence that Mr. Ma Rui just said, it is like farting and taking off his pants, and what I say is in low context, just to convey information." ”

Hahaha, the classmates laughed, and Liu Chen's slang was also very interesting.

Zhuo Ling felt that there was something wrong with the two, and she was still relatively simple in interpersonal relationships. (To be continued.) )
