學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)必須了解英美文化，因?yàn)檎Z(yǔ)言是文化的組成部分，是文化的載體，兩者息息相關(guān)。大量事實(shí)表明，語(yǔ)言理解的障礙往往不在語(yǔ)言結(jié)構(gòu)本身，而在相關(guān)文化知識(shí)的缺乏。何謂文化？從廣義來(lái)說(shuō)，文化是人類(lèi)在社會(huì)和歷史發(fā)展進(jìn)程中創(chuàng)造的物質(zhì)財(cái)富和精神財(cái)富的總和，包括文學(xué)、藝術(shù)、音樂(lè)、科學(xué)、技術(shù)、哲學(xué)、地理、建筑等。從狹義來(lái)說(shuō)，文化是人們的生活方式、風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣、行為準(zhǔn)則等。所有這些，都需要用語(yǔ)言表達(dá)。英語(yǔ)有句名言：想要掌握兩種語(yǔ)言，必須掌握兩種文化。（Tobe bilingual，One must be bicultural.）英美文化對(duì)于廣大的英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者的重要性可見(jiàn)一斑，而對(duì)于廣大的一線英語(yǔ)教師來(lái)說(shuō)，如果能夠掌握廣博的英美文化，不僅能夠提升自己的文化素養(yǎng)，能夠更加準(zhǔn)確、傳神地講述教材，取得較好的教學(xué)效果，還能夠進(jìn)一步激發(fā)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的興趣和積極性，擴(kuò)展他們的國(guó)際視野。
外研社基礎(chǔ)教育分社經(jīng)過(guò)長(zhǎng)達(dá)四年的調(diào)查研究，廣泛地聽(tīng)取了廣大一線教師的意見(jiàn)，決定開(kāi)發(fā)一套英美文化讀本，以滿足中小學(xué)英語(yǔ)教師的需求，并兼顧大專(zhuān)院校學(xué)生和一般讀者的需求。為此，中方團(tuán)隊(duì)密切關(guān)注英美文化發(fā)展的最新態(tài)勢(shì)，遵循國(guó)家《英語(yǔ)課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)》的精神和中國(guó)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的實(shí)際，提出選題方案，然后依據(jù)文章主題聘請(qǐng)各個(gè)領(lǐng)域的英美學(xué)者撰寫(xiě)書(shū)稿。在稿件完成后，中方專(zhuān)家又就內(nèi)容和語(yǔ)言問(wèn)題提出意見(jiàn)，請(qǐng)英美學(xué)者再進(jìn)行修改和完善而成。
