1.Introduction
By reading the book "Comprehensive English" in universities, there is a strong interest in language plan and different languages and cultures, thus starting to study the current situation of "Chinese cultural aphasia" in English teaching, taking the book "Comprehensive English Course" as an example.With the development of the times and the continuous progress of culture, under this background, this paper puts forward some feasible suggestions to arouse the attention of English education in China, lost some native culture in College English teaching materials, to better integrate other cultures and native cultures, to enable students to better possess the literary literacy of their own cultures, to have a strong ability of expression and to disseminate. Chinese culture, in response to the "integration of China and the West", adheres to the Chinese as the fundamental, absorbs the essence of the West, so that English really shoulders the responsibility of serving the country and society.
2.Understanding “Chinese Culture Aphasia”
2.1The definition of “Chinese culture Aphasia”
"Aphasia" is originally a medical term, which refers to the brain damage caused by injury or disease, resulting in the loss of the ability to express ideas, language and write ability partly or totally. (English-Chinese Chinese- English Dictionary Martin H. Manser ) Aphasia can not express its thoughts perfectly in words. In essence, it is the serious lack of national cultural identity of language learners, which is gradually assimilated by other cultures. It is very unfavorable for the development of Chinese culture and their own growth that we can not inherit our own culture well, apathy and aphasia towards Chinese language and culture, more and more far away from the mainstream culture and national culture.
