【全文翻译】
未来文化冲击
1. “文化冲击”这个词已经开始渗透到流行的词汇文化冲击中，就是沉浸在一种陌生的文化中对毫无准备的访问者产生了影响。文化冲击是当一个旅行者突然发现自己在一个地方，在那里是可能意味着不，“固定的价格”是可以谈判的，在外面的办公室等待不是侮辱的理由，在那里，笑声可能意味着愤怒，那就是当熟恶的心理暗示帮助一个人在社会中发挥作用的时候突然变得孤僻，取而代之的是陌生或不可理解的新心理暗示。
2.文化冲击现象造成了游客在与其他社会交往中的困惑、沮丧和迷失方向。它导致了沟通的崩溃，对现实的误读，无法应对。然而，文化未来的冲击是由于未来的过早到来而导致的头晕目眩迷失方向。这很可能是明天最重要的疾病。
3.把一个人从他自己的文化中拉出来，在一个与他自己的文化截然不同的环境中突然放下他。有不同的线索来对时间，空间，工作，爱，宗教，性别，以及其他一切的不同概念做出反应,然后阻断他撤退到更熟悉的社会环境中的希望，这使他所遭受的混乱更加严重。而且，如果这种新文化本身就是一种常态，而且越槽糕，它的价值就会不断变化，迷失方向的感觉就会进一步加剧。请给出一些线索，说明在新的环境下，什么样的行为是理性的。受害者很可能会对自己和他人构成危险。
4.现在想象一下，不仅仅是一个人，而是整个社会，整个神经一一包括它最弱、最不聪
明、最不理性的元，突然进入这个新的世界。其结果是大规模的迷失方向，大规模的未来冲击。
5.这就是人类现在面临的前景。 改变正降临在我们身上,大多数人荒谬地没有做好应对的准备。
【读后感】
Understand the word "culture shock" for the first time! It is different countries do things, organizations, thinking and evaluate things in a different way, it is because of the different experiences of these things, to make our produce novelty, thus appeared the phenomenon of culture shock!
With the continuous penetration of western culture, people's values, ethics and ethics are all changing. While the university campus is the intersection of the eastern and western cultures, the contemporary college students have the traditional concept, and on the other hand, they are all strongly influenced by the western thought. This really deserves our deep thought!
I think we should recognize the impact of culture shock on us, and we should make up for the shortcomings of our current ideological and political situation, and learn to discard the dregs and extract the essence. After all, in a sense, to gain an in-depth experience of different countries and cultures, culture shock is something we must experience. We should control it and try not to be influenced by it!
第一次深刻理解“文化冲击”这个词！它就是不同国家做事，组织，思考和评价事物的方式不同，正是由于对这些事的不同体验，使得我们的产生了新鲜感，从而出现了文化冲击这一现象！
随着西方文化的不断渗透，人们的价值观、伦理观、道德观都在发生着变化。而大学校园又是东西方文化的交汇点，当代的大学生一方面有着传统的观念，而在另一方面，又都受着西方思潮的强烈冲击。这的确值得我们深思！
我认为我们应该去认清“文化冲击”对我们的影响，应该要及时补上当前我们当前思想政治的不足之处，能学会去其糟粕，取其精华。毕竟在某种意义上，为了获得深入体验不同国家和文化的乐趣，文化冲击是我们一定要经历的，我们应该控制好它，尽量不受其影响！
