Culture hides much more than it reveals, and strangely enough what it hides, it hides most effectively from its own participants. Years of study have convinced me that the real job is not to understand foreign culture but to understand our own. I am also convinced that all that one ever gets from studying foreign culture is a token understanding. The ultimate reason for such study is to learn more about how one’s own system works. The best reason for exposing oneself to foreign ways is generate a sense of vitality and awareness — an interest in life which can come only when one lives through the shock of contrast and difference. The best reason for the layperson to spend time studying culture is that he/she can learn something useful and enlightening about himself/herself. This can be an interesting process, at time harrowing but ultimately rewarding. One of the most effective ways to learn about oneself is by taking seriously the cultures of others. It forces you to pay attention to those details of life which differentiate them from you.
选项
答案
文化隐藏的内涵要比显示出来的表象多得多;奇怪的是,对于文化隐藏的内涵,该文化自身的参与者最容易浑然不觉。数年的研究使我深信,真正的工作不是理解外部文化,而是理解我们自身的文化。我还相信,通过研究外部文化而获得的一切都只是表层的理解。研究外部文化的根本原因就是更好地理解自身体系的运作机理。亲身接触外部文化的必要性在于获得一种活力和意识一只有当一个人亲身经历文化的巨大反差后才会产生的对生活的兴趣。非专业人士花费时间研究文化的必要性在于学习一些有用的东西并启蒙思想。这是一个有趣的过程,有时很痛苦,但最终是值得的。理解自身的最有效的途径就是严肃认真地对待别人的文化。它可以使你留意那些不同于自身的生活细节。
