跨文化意识的构建不仅能提高高校学生学习英语的兴趣,而且是学生真正掌握语言、实现正常交际的手段。医学类高校英语教师在医学英语教学中应着力构建医学生的跨文化意识,使医学生了解中西医文化背景,消除跨文化交际误会,吸取西医文化之精髓,为促进中西医文化交流打下基石。 The construction of cross-cultural awareness can not only improve college students’ interest in learning English, but also means that students can master the language and communicate normally. Medical English teachers should focus on constructing intercultural awareness of medical students in medical English teaching so that medical students can understand the cultural background of Chinese and Western cultures, eliminate misunderstandings of intercultural communication, learn from the essence of Western medical culture, and lay the cornerstone for the promotion of cultural exchanges between Chinese and Western medicine.
