摘要中西方都有自己独特的文化，而“面子”观是文化的重要方面之一。由于东西方对面子的认识、关注程度以及处理面子问题的方式不同，常给双方带来交流上的困难甚至误解，并且，在跨文化交际中常常因为面子观问题而相继出现文化矛盾。

本文以李安的电影“喜宴”为材料，从换字画、送礼、婚礼的举办与敬酒四个方面探讨了不同文化背景下面子观的差异及引起此差异的原因。从而让交际者在交际过程中更加深入的了解面子观，提高人们对社会文化和社会语言差异的敏感性。以此来减少由面子引起的文化冲突，同时对以后中西方文化交流具有重要的意义。

The study of the differences of face view between Chinese and Western culture has always been an important part of the comparative study of them, which is of great significance to the study of cross-cultural communication。 Being face-saving is also a social phenomenon that is prevalent among all the world's people, while different ethnic groups have a perse understanding of face view。 According to Goffman (1967), face has something to do with some emotion, such as “embarrassment”, “humiliation” or “losing face” and it is something that people feel precious in their interactions。 However, the connotation of Chinese people’s “face” can not be contained by the “dignity” of Western。 (Erving 5) 中西文化面子观差异对比分析以电影《喜宴》为例:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_202086.html
