Unit 1
English and American Concepts of Space


It has been said that the English and the Americans are two great people separated
by one language. The difference for which language gets blamed may not be due so
much
to
words
as
to
communications
on
other
levels
beginning
with
English
intonation (which sounds affected to many Americans) and continuing to ego-linked
ways of handling time, space, and materials. If there ever were two cultures in which
differences
of
the
proxemic
details
are
marked
it
is
in
the
educated
(public
school)
English
and
the
middle-class
Americans.
One
of
the
basic
reasons
for
this
wide
disparity is that in the United States we use space as a way of classifying people and
activities, whereas in England it is the social system that determines who you are .In
the Untied States,
your address is
an important
cue to status (this
apply not only to
one's
home
but
to
the
business
address
as
well.)
The
Joneses
from
Brooklyn
and
Miami are not as
Cape Cod are worlds apart from Newark and Miami. Businesses located on Madison
and Park avenues have more tone than those on Seventh and Eighth avenues. A corner
office is more prestigious that one next to the elevator or at the end of a long hall. The
Englishman, however, is born and brought up in a social system. He is still Lord---no
matter where you find him, even if it is behind the counter in a fishmonger's stall. In
addition to class distinctions, there are differences between the English and ourselves
in how space is allotted.


人们说

英国和美国是两个

分离

而造成这一
分离

象的原因并非
因为
词汇,
其中还包括交流过程中的许多
层面

英语的音调
(这一点听上去影响了许多美国人)
,再到
用 自我意识来处理
时间、空间、和



倘若英
美两种文化真 的有一些细节上存在差异

那么他们分别就是受公共教
育的英国人与中产阶级的美国人 。造成这一巨大差异的基本原因之一就是在美
国,
我们把人与活动以空间来划分
,而在 英国,社会
制度
决定了你的身份。在美
国,你的住址是一条表明你地位的重要线索。< br>(这不仅适用于你家庭住址,同样
还包括你的工作地址。

然而,
英国人出生和成长都受到
社会制度的

,他仍是一个贵族。除了在
划分阶

上的差别,英国人和我们美国人如何分配空间上也有许多差异。


The middle-class American growing up in the United States feels he has a right to
have his own room, or at least part of a room. My American subjects, when asked to
draw an ideal room or office, invariably drew it for themselves and no one else. When
asked to draw their present room or office, they drew only their own part of a shared
room and then drew a line down the middle .Both male and female subjects identified
the kitchen and the master bedroom as belonging to the mother or the wife, whereas
Father's territory was a study or a den, if one was available, otherwise, it was the
shop,

the
basement
or
sometimes
only
a
workbench
or
the
garage.
