亲戚的称呼
英语中对亲戚的称呼跟汉语的是有区别的。结婚以后,双方的直系亲属immediate family就变成了对方的姻亲in-laws,比如father-in-law,mother-in-law,sister-in- law,brother-in-law等。英语对亲属的称谓比起汉语里要简单的多,西方人似乎不太在乎这位亲戚是父亲这边的(on the father's side)还是母亲这边的(on the mother's side),一视同仁,给一个称呼。更有意思的是对distant relatives远亲的称呼:cousin一词部分男女,概括了所有“堂兄弟和堂姐妹或者表兄弟和表姐妹”。而“侄子或者外甥”都是nephew;“侄女或外甥女”都是niece.不过,尽管英语中的称谓不如中文的分类细致,“Blood is thicker than water”(血浓于水)是东西方人都认同的.
