1. 在英式英语中，civilization也可以写作civilisation。

civilization, cultivation, culture

这组词都可表示“文化”“文明”“修养”。它们的区别在于:

1.在表示某一国家或民族所特有的文化时, civilization常与culture互换使用。

2.civilization一般指的是与barbarism(野蛮)相对立的“文明”或“文化”; culture指某种类型的文化、风俗、信仰或传统等,尤指民族的艺术与思想; cultivation主要指身心文明、礼貌等的“养成”或“培养”。

civilization，culture

这两个名词均含“文化，文明”之意。

civilization指广义的文化，标志人类发展开化的进程。强调物质方面的文明。

culture侧重指精神方面，即多由科技、文化等所体现的人类智力开发的程度。
