1、英语话里话外读书报告英语话里话外读书报告English and Its Cultural BackgroundsThere is no doubt that the book, Cracking the Nuts of Culture, is really an interesting book. I finished it within one week. It did bring me much fun, and what is more, I found the more I read, the more I acquired, and the more I could understa
2、nd the abundant contents of English.As far as I am concerned, the most interesting part of the book is the English paradox. Like Chinese, there is also abundant paradox to help us express what we want to say. A paradox ispunny and vivid, which always contains significant meaning. For example, “He wh
3、o always watches the clock will always be one of the hands” is paradox. It is short but you may not understand its meaning the first sight you see it. Only after you look for the hidden meaning of the words can you totally understand it. It means a man who do not do his work carefully and only care
4、the closing time cant be an outstanding worker. Using this example, I mean if we want to learn English well and totally understand some words, we should learn to figure out the real meaning of the words instead of just taking all statements at face value.I have acquired a deeper understanding of Eng
5、lish after reading this book. When I was a middle school student, my Chinese teacher always told us that Chinese is more beautiful and has more connotation than English. But now I can say that his judgment is unfair because there isa large quantity of interesting expressions in English. Some of them
6、 may seem meaningless unless they are put in the special language situation. Whats more, some words in regular collocation can express special meaning ,for example, “not so hot “ ,a regular collocation which is used to express the meaning of not good. These both enrich the internal meaning of Englis
7、h.In my point of view, language and culture are inseparable. A language is born to express a nations culture and the formation and development of a language is always influenced by the culture. Westerners are much more open-minded than Chinese, so we can see that in English the results are always sa
8、id before the reasons, which is on the contrary in Chinese. Another example is that in English, the expression lucky dog means someone is lucky but in Chinese the expressions made with the word dog arealways related to something bad. In Chain, if you describe one with the expression made with the wo
9、rd dog, he will be very angry. The reason for this phenomenon is that in western, people love their dogs and look on them as their families, and in ancient Chai n, dog was concerned as a snobbish animal. When learn English, we may find that sometimes even we know the meaning of every word, we still
10、cant understand the meaning of the whole sentence. So, to learn English, not only do we need to know the new symbols and the rules of using these symbols, but also we need to cultural background of English language.第二篇：英语读书报告 5000 字On Vicky Phillips Education in Cyberspace Aina WuThis is a paper abo
