1. Introduction

     Time orientation is a significant section of the cultural psychological tendency, and it reflects the deep cultural connotation. The use of time reflects the important cultural group values level. American anthropologist E. T. Hall claims that time can change the nature of life, it is one of the most fundamental systems( Hall,1973),because there are spatial and temporal specifications among all behavior in the situation .He also claims that time can speak. The messages passed by time are sonorous and clear. It is neither controlled by consciousness like a sound language, nor easy to let people misconstrue. He pides time according to different habits of culture into monochronic time system and polychronic time system( Hall,1982). Studying different cultural concepts of time is particularly vital in intercultural communication. Seen from the time orientation, there are great differences in the past time, present time, and future time in perse cultures. The emphasis of the three times are not identical, so four different time orientations in psychologically formed.Studying the differences in time concepts will help us communicate effectively and avoid conflicts in intercultural communication. 跨文化交际中的中美时间观之对比分析:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_64366.html
