第四篇:加拿大介紹【楓葉之國】
加拿大——楓葉之國
加拿大位于西半球北美洲的北半部。面積為997萬平方公里,是世界第二大國。美國是陸地上與加拿大唯一接壤的國家,它們 之間的國境線長達5500余公里。
加拿大基本上為大陸性氣候,四季分明。各地的氣候差異很 大。由于它處于北半球的高緯度地帶,約有1/5的領土位于北極 圈內,將近有一半面積的國土為凍土。
加拿大全國人口共3361萬(2009年)。它是一個移民國家,一半以上的人口為英裔居民和法裔居民,其余的有意大利、德國、烏克蘭等歐洲人后裔、亞洲裔居民、拉丁美洲裔居民、土著人。英、法語均為官方語言。
加拿大風景秀麗,有多姿多彩的自然景觀和人文景觀。位于 伊利湖和安大略湖之間的尼亞加拉瀑布,寬800米,落差48米,瀑布飛流直下,濺起無數白色的水花,在陽光的照射下呈現五彩 繽紛的鮮艷色彩,十分壯觀。休倫湖東岸的格雷文赫斯特,是偉 大的國際主義戰(zhàn)士白求恩的故鄉(xiāng)。加拿大東部的魁北克是美洲最 具歐洲特點的城市,這里的建筑多為英法傳統(tǒng)風格,其老區(qū)的街 道,市井氣氛頗有英法遺風。早年建造的狹窄街道,鱗次櫛比的 店鋪,古老的天主教堂,哥特式、巴洛克式建筑以及悠然而過的 馬車,令人仿佛置身于文藝復興時期的歐洲?!咀诮獭?/p>
加拿大是個宗教信仰自由的國家,全國絕大多數人信天主教或基督教,信其他宗 的人較少。其中信天主教的占47%,信基督教的占41%,其他人分別信東正教、猶太 教、摩門教和佛教,不信教的人約占總人口的7.4%。【衣食住行】
[衣] 加拿大人衣著與美國人相近,但不像美國人那么隨便。
在非正式場合,他們穿著隨意,常著夾衫、圓領衫、便裝褲等;在正式場合,如上 班、上教堂、觀看表演、赴宴等,他們著裝整潔、講究。男子穿西裝,女子穿裙服。女 子服裝不太講究面料,但講究款式新穎、顏色協(xié)調、舒適方便。
[食] 加拿大飲食習慣與英、法、美相仿。他們講究萊肴的營養(yǎng)與質量,注重萊肴的鮮與嫩。一般不喜歡太成,偏愛甜味。對煎、烤、炸等烹調方法制作的菜肴偏愛。
飲食以肉類、蔬菜為主,面食、米飯為輔。喜歡吃牛肉、雞、雞蛋、沙丁魚、野
味類等,以及西紅柿、洋蔥、青菜、土豆、黃瓜等蔬菜;調料愛用番茄醬、鹽、黃油
等。
他們喜歡飲酒,尤以白蘭地、香檳酒為最愛;對飲料中的咖啡與紅茶也很感興趣。
他們一般都習慣用刀叉。特別愛吃烤制食品,尤以半生不熟的嫩牛排為佳。這里 的人習慣飯后喝咖啡與吃水果。
加拿大人喜歡吃冷食,這種冷食不同于我們的冷盤菜肴,一般是由主人先將各式 菜肴燒好,用碗、盤、碟等器皿盛好后,依次將各式萊肴擺在廚房內的餐桌上,待客 人到齊后,供客人享用。因為菜肴燒得比較早,時間一長,也就變涼了,加拿大人稱 之為“冷餐宴會”。
[行] 平和、溫和、理性是加拿大人的國民特點。加拿大人生性活潑,謙遜友善,于助人。加拿大人說話也非常風趣、幽默。加拿大人生活習性包含英、法、美三國人 的綜合特點,他們既有英國人那種含蓄,又有法國人那種開朗,還有美國人那種無拘無 束的特點,他們熱情好客,待人誠懇。加拿大人比較講實惠,與朋友相處和來往不講究過多的禮儀。因國土大 多數位于寒帶地區(qū),所以加拿大人對夏日的陽光和戶外活動情有獨鐘?!净閼倭曀住?/p>
[加拿大基督教徒的婚禮] 加拿大基督教徒的婚禮一般都在教堂里舉行。在結婚 式上,牧師要為他們做禱告,祝他們幸福美滿,白頭偕老。
新郎新娘互換戒指,在上帝面前發(fā)誓永遠相愛。然后新郎新娘和來賓們一起禱告,起唱贊美詩。在教堂舉行婚禮,新郎和男賓坐在教堂的右手邊,新娘和女賓坐在教 的左手邊,新人的親屬和朋友坐在前幾排座位上。
[加拿大印第安人的婚禮] 加拿大印第安人的婚禮帶有濃厚的民族色彩?;槎Y地 點多選擇在印第安人聚居區(qū)公共建筑物里舉行,一般是一幢較大的木頭房屋。
舉行婚禮時,親朋好友、左鄰右舍、村中居民紛紛來到木房里,眾人席地而坐.互 致問候。男女老幼身穿民族服裝,色澤艷麗。雖然印第安人性情開朗,但婚禮場合卻顯 得非常安靜,即使說話也是輕言細語?!緜鹘y(tǒng)節(jié)日】
[國慶節(jié)](Canada Day)7月1日(國冢成立于1867年)。各大中城市市組織上街游行 狂歡活動,晚上燃放焰火。
最重要的活動地點當數首都渥太華,很多民間組織或個人自愿出資制造彩車,并 舉行各種表演式的游行;皇家衛(wèi)隊騎馬開道,老兵身著軍裝,佩勛章游行;有人做雜 耍等游戲,形式自由多樣,熱鬧非凡。人們紛紛涌向街頭看熱鬧,當游行隊伍經過時,歡聲雷動。
[魁北兜冬季狂歡節(jié)] 魁北克的冬天寒冷而漫長,一年一度的冬季狂歡節(jié)給隆冬 中的魁北克帶來了溫暖和歡樂。
冬季狂歡節(jié)是魁北克省最大的節(jié)日,1955年以來,該省府魁北克市每年都要舉辦 一次冬季狂歡節(jié),從2月上、中旬開始,為期10天左右。狂歡節(jié)活動內容豐富多彩,其間舉行冰雕比賽、劃船比賽、越野滑雪比賽、輪胎滑雪比賽、大型滑車、狗拉雪橇 賽、冰上賽馬等各種體育活動。冰雕和雪雕展覽是魁北克冬季狂歡節(jié)的重要項目?!久耖g習俗】
加拿大被稱為“楓葉之國”,到處都能看到楓樹,加拿大國旗中央繪有一片11個 角的紅色楓樹葉。楓樹是加拿大的國樹,也是加拿大民族的象征。秋天賞楓,春天過 楓糖節(jié),品嘗新鮮的楓糖漿,就成了加拿大獨有的風情。
每年3~4月間,加拿大傳統(tǒng)的民間節(jié)日”楓糖節(jié)”在魁北克和安大略舉行。在魁 北克,喜歡楓糖漿的人會去當地的“楓糖小屋”過過癮。小屋由原木搭建,小屋里有 專門熬制楓糖漿的大鍋,有專人講解和表演楓糖的熬制過程,還請游客品嘗地道的楓 糖制品。這樣的楓糖小屋,全魁北克大約有400個。
[因紐特人的生活] 在加拿大北極生活的原始居民,過去被稱為“愛斯基摩人”.現 在被稱為“因紐特人”,其意是“人”。
在加拿大的所有印第安居民中因紐特人的生存條件最為惡劣艱苦,他們生活在北極 的冰天雪地中。因紐特人自古以來依靠捕捉鯨、海豹、海象等海洋哺乳動物來維持生存。因紐特人平常住在石屋、草屋、圓頂小屋或獸皮帳篷里。當他們去海洋獵取動物的時候,就住在用冰磚臨時搭建的冰屋中。
[“雪鳥”南飛成傳統(tǒng)] 加拿大的大部分地區(qū)氣候寒冷,令人難挨。
特別是老年人不愿忍受漫長冬季的寒冷沒年秋天一過,一些人便收拾行裝飛往美國 的佛羅里達過冬,直到第二年的春天才返回。這些人被大家稱為“雪烏”。
[過境購物不稀奇] 加拿大緊鄰美國,兩國又有特殊的關系,人員自由往來,貿易
互免關稅。
由于美國物價相對便宜,所以很多加拿大人不惜花費大量時間和精力開車到美國去 購物。
[皇家騎警] 皇家騎警是加拿大的鮮明象征。上身著紅制服、腳登高筒靴、頭戴寬 檐帽的加拿大皇家騎警騎在高頭大馬上,還真是威風。
他們每天中午12點45分在皇家騎警學校的操場上表演,夏天每周星期二降旗時
參觀騎警受訓是里賈納的旅游項目之一。
禁忌提醒
【交往禁忌】
加拿大人忌食蝦醬、魚露、腐乳以及怪味、腥味的食物和動物內臟。
在加拿大,赴宴時最好到花店買一束鮮花送給主人,以表達自己的謝意。
吃東西時不要發(fā)出聲音,不宜說話,不要當眾用牙簽剔牙,切忌把自己的餐具擺到 他人的位置上。
在加拿大,送花不可送白色的百合花,白色的百合花只有在葬禮上才用。
在汽車里、電梯上和辦公室內,當著不抽煙人的面吸煙是不禮貌的,進餐時也不要 吸煙。
加拿大人從不在人前摳頭發(fā)、清理手指甲縫里的污垢:如有人在公共場合這樣做,就會被人看不起,認為是缺乏教養(yǎng)。
加拿大人很多事情要事先預約。公事要預約,私事也要預約,找工作面談、請客、甚至去朋友家串門都要預約。不速之客是不受歡迎的。
親朋好友之間請吃飯一般在家里而不去餐館,認為這樣更友好。
【交談禁忌】
加拿大人喜歡別人贊美他的衣服、手表或向他請教一些關于加拿大的風俗習慣、游 覽勝地方面的問題。
交談中不宜詢問對方的年齡、收入和私生活,這會引起他們的反感和不安。
不要談涉及宗教信仰、性問題或批駁對方的政見,以免引起誤解和爭執(zhí)。
加拿大人不喜歡外來人過分地把他們的國家和美國進行比較,往往喜歡外來人談有 關他們國家和人民的長處。
在公共場合,加拿大人厭惡那種搶著插嘴、邊說話邊用手指人的人,他們不喜歡別 人老盯著自己。【特別鏈接】
在加拿大有禁煙規(guī)定,并且必須年滿16歲方可購買香煙。在聯(lián)邦政府大樓、電梯、銀行、商店、學校及多數公共場所吸煙都是違法的。有違者會被.處以5000加元的罰 款。對酒也是如此,如阿爾伯塔省規(guī)定,19歲以上者方可買酒,而烈性白酒則被禁止 出售。
另外,餐廳、酒吧只可在早上11時到凌晨1時賣酒,飲酒者只能在領有酒牌的地 方或住宅內喝酒,在這些地方以外飲酒都是違法的。
一般而言,除了禁止在餐館吸煙的城市外,多數加拿大的餐館都分為吸 煙區(qū)及非 吸煙區(qū),所以,當你去用餐時,一定要小心不要坐錯了地方。
第五篇:加拿大留學簽證費用介紹
加拿大留學簽證費用介紹
去加拿大留學,需要提前辦理好加拿大留學簽證,這一點常識性的問題,相信大家都知道,那么加拿大留學簽證費用需要多少呢?下面是對于加拿大留學簽證費用詳細情況的介紹,希望大家看了之后能夠有所了解。提前準備好充足的費用以便于加拿大留學簽證申請。
為了幫助大家回答這個問題,首先就加拿大留學簽證費用而言,因為今年申請去加拿大的多次往返簽證將變得更加簡便。所以,從2014年2月6日起,多次往返臨時居民訪問簽證費將會由150加元減至100加元。單次往返簽證收費標準將被取消,申請人會被默認為申請多次往返簽證。符合條件的訪問者持多次往返簽證可在加拿大每次最多停留六個月,最長達10年內無需每次重新申請。加拿大移民部表示,該政策能促進赴加旅游和貿易。
然而,與之相對,申請加拿大短期居留簽證的各項費用都有所上漲,其中包括學生簽證和工作簽證的申請和續(xù)簽費用。具體而言,學生簽證的申請和續(xù)簽增加了25加元,上漲至150加元,工作簽證的申請和續(xù)簽增加5加元上漲至155加元。這是為大家補充的一點知識。
以上是對于加拿大留學簽證費用詳細情況的介紹,大家看了之后都能了解了吧。根據自己的情況進行準備,從而才能保證加拿大留學簽證費用更加順利地進行。
