As we all know, different countries have different cultures. "Culture is the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the members of one category of people from another."
It is inevitable that the cultural difference has impact on business. For example, when a company having a meeting, the word "table" in American English means to put something on the agenda. But in British English it means to put something off the agenda. This example indicates how the culture affects the business.
There are four cultural dimensions (方面) that were defined in Hofstede’s research: power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism, masculinity (男子气概). And recently Hofstede added one more: long-term and short-term orientation.
Recently, Hofsteda said in a speech: "What I think the most significant influence in cultural difference is the power distance. I considered it as how much subordinates can consent or dissent with bosses or managers. It is the distance between a manager and subordinate. Among most oriental corporate cultures, there is hierarchism (等级制度), greater centralization." [br] The example of the word "table" implies that______.
选项
A、table has different meanings in different countries
B、different countries have different meeting rules
C、different countries have different cultures
D、culture difference can affect business in some way
答案
D
解析
细节推断题。由线索词example,implies定位到第二段最后一句。文章第二段举例说明了table在美式英语和英式英语中有不同的意思,最后明确指出,这个例子暗示了文化对商业有一定的影响。题干中的implies是indicates的同义词,因此判断作者举table这个例子的目的是为了说明文化差异对商业有影响。
