9、 of thinking with a strong plastic,flexible and stochastic nature.“这是一种有着极强可塑性、伸张性、随机性的圆式辩证思维方式。”申小龙,Mode of thinking 思维模式,Dr.Kaplan:Editor-in-Chief of the Annual Review of Applied Linguistics 卡普兰:应用语言学评论年刊主编,Major Differences 主要差异,Chinese Mode 中国思维模式,Western Mode 西方思维模式,Holistic 整体,Analytical 分析,1,

14、xplain and predict the objects behavior.,Holistic 整体,Analytical 分析,分析思维倾向于把物体从其情境中分离出来，关注该物体性质以便于归类，并注重运用归类的规则来解释和预见事物的情状。,整体思维倾向于把情境或场看作是一个整体，注重某一突出的物体及其场的关系，并凭借这种关系来解释和预见事物的情状。,Holistic 整体,Analytical 分析,Westerners tend to be analytical and pay more attention to the key,or focal objects in a scene

15、for example,concentration on the woman in the“Mona Lisa”,as opposed to the rocks and sky behind her.,Chinese,by contrast,tend to be holistic.They look at the whole picture and rely on contextual information when making decisions and judgments about what they see.,Holistic 整体,Analytical 分析,西方人倾向于分析思维
