答案 Culture Shock "Culture shock" occurs as a result of total immersion in a new culture. It happens to "people who have been suddenly transplanted". Newcomers may be anxious because they do not speak the language, know the customs, or understand people’s behavior in daily life. The visitor finds that "yes" may not mean "yes", that "friendliness" may not mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended jokes. The foreigner may be unsure as to when to shake hands or embrace, when to initiate conversations, or bow to approach a stranger. The notion of "culture shock" helps explain feelings of bewilderment and disorientation. Language problems do not account tot all the frustrations that people feel. When one is deprived of everything that was once familiar, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise. When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she is like a fish out of water. That’s the effect of culture shock.
