Abstract

This paper takes "east, west, south, and north" in Chinese as the reference, and makes comparison with the corresponding English words in their differences and commonness, so as to grasp the "deviation" (different cultural characteristics) and the "consistence" (commonness) of locative worlds in Chinese and English, and thus to promote the smooth cross-cultural communication.
