    外宾面前,你能否用一口流利的英文介绍自己的国家?走出国门,你是否能够让更多的外国人了解中国灿烂悠久的文化?本书向读者精选了最经典的中国城市文化、人文历史、风景名胜、国宝美食、民俗国粹等内容,能够让读者在短时间内掌握各种中国元素的英文说法,最终实现轻松向老外介绍中国的目标,在国际交流中一展出色的沟通能力!

    内知国情,外知世界,在国际交流中挥洒自如,在世界舞台上展示自我。

    学了十几年英语的我们,一碰上老外多半会面临这样的尴尬:寒暄客套之后就无话可说!也难怪老外常说我们中国人捉摸不透,其实多半得怨语言这层窗户纸。因此,要想在国际交流中如鱼得水,就得修炼出用英语高谈阔论的功夫。

    在国际交流场合,个人所代表的民族文化是最显著的身份标志。作为一名中国人,用流利的英语谈论一些中国文化中有意思的话题,无疑是展示个性魅力的最佳手段。试想,当你用一口流利的英语将中外文化做番比较,或者将孙悟空和哈里波特PK一番,你的国际形象是否会提升许多呢?为此,我们编写了本书,本书有以下特点:

    首先,100多个话题让你自如选择。为切合外国人对中国文化的兴趣点,《用英语介绍中国》的主题参照了近年来欧美媒体对中国的报道,分为中国概况、人文历史、魅力城市、风景名胜、文化掠影、风土人情、缤纷国粹、瑰丽国宝、美食天下、民俗节日十大板块。作者还特别关注那些令西方人不解的中国文化习俗,平和而不乏诙谐地将疑惑一一化解。本书以轻松的形式将中国文化的方方面面娓娓道来,以真诚、坦荡的笔触将中国的特色元素逐个梳理。

    其二,生动的语言让你表达得体。每个话题均设有情景会话,语言秉承生动、简洁、有效的原则,生词、难词很少见,而英美人士间耳熟能详的固定表达却很丰富。这样的语言让谈话者看上去有修养、不做作,也便于学习者模仿记忆,并迅速运用到实际交流中。

    其三,灵活的模块设计让你自主学习。此书的学习功能将与一般的赏析类英语读物区别开来,无论是用于课堂教学还是自学,都具有相当大的伸展度和灵活性。

    在外国人的眼里,中国是一个神奇的国度。中国的风土人情、文化历史都是那么地吸引世界人民的眼球。随着中国对外开放程度的日益加深,已经有越来越多的外国人来到中国旅游或者生活。那么,作为一个国际化国度里的公民,要向外国友人展示我们中华文化的博大精深之处,就需要我们能用英语很好地表达出祖国各方面的特色。本书正是一本学习英语,了解中国文化,从而帮助你能够熟练地用英语向外国人介绍中国的手册。
