As we know, there are differences between Western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the way some words are used. Let"s look at the words about animals and ants. Although dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans,most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, "a homeless dog", "a running dog" and "a dog catching a mouse", have negative meanings. But in Western countries, people use "dog" to describe positive actions. In English, for example, "You are a lucky dog" means "You are a lucky person". And "Every dog has its day" means "Each person has good luck sometimes". However. Chinese love cats very much. But in Western culture "cat" is often used to describe a woman who is cruel (冷的). There are many other examples of how "cat" is used differently as well. The rose is regarded (视为) as a symbol (象征) of love in both China and some Western countries. People think the rose stands for (代表) love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England,America and many other countries. The words about animals and plants are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can learn about many differences in different cultures by comparing how some words are used. |

A Nobel Prize is considered by most people one of the highest international honours a person can receive. As you know, the prizes were started by a Swede called Alfred Nobel. He was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Alfred Nobel was a great scientist. He made two important inventions, and so he became very rich. Although he was rich, Nobel was not a happy man. He never married or had children. Also, he was a sick man during his large part of life. When he died at the age of 63, he left a fund of $9,000,000. The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made great achievements in physics,chemistry (化学), medicine and literature (文学), and for world peace. The first Nobel Prizes were given on December 10,1901, five years after Nobel"s death. Since then many famous people from all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements. Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma saying that he has been given the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money about $40,000. Often a prize is given to just one person,but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared. It may be given to two or more people who have worked together. It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given at all if there is no great achievement. In 1972, for example, no Nobel Peace Prize was given. |
