1. Introduction
As one of the most significant social phenomenon, culture plays an important role in recording every aspect on people’s lives. Meanwhile, language is widely used as a most significant communicating tool. And it is apparently that culture and language are inseparable. Because language which is carrying out its cultures, is deeply influenced by its culture, the development of history and the group psychology. On the other hand, its culture has inevitably made effects on its language. According to Spair, the linguistic, neither would be completely understood nor accepted without a better understanding of either. In other words, if too enough attentions have been given to language points, such as the speech sounds, vocabulary and syntax, without the understanding of English culture during the study of English, many difficulties will occur if one wants to comprehend the language completely and use it appropriately. In a word, language and culture are related to each other. To acquire one should be based on studying the other.
