Abstract
The researches on face-saving strategies have been mainly carried out in political speeches, teachers’ feedback and the Chinese classical literature. While the comparative studies of face-saving strategies in Chinese and American culture are few. Based on the face theory, this thesis analyzes the similarities and differences of face-saving strategies between China and America on the basis of Monkey King: Hero is Back and Kungfu Panda. This thesis indicates that the Chinese often use irrelevant answers, white lies, compliments, body language and paralanguage to save face. While Americans often use strategies like irrelevant answers, straight talk, euphemism, lengthy statements and body language to maintain face. The similarities between the two countries are the use of irrelevant answers and body language. The differences lie in that the Americans tend to maintain their own face, while the Chinese tend to maintain the face of others. This is mainly because that the values and cultural background of China and the United States are different. This thesis can not only help people further understand the cultural differences between China and America but also help people get along with foreigners. Besides, it can also help people coordinate interpersonal relationships and achieve a harmonious communication.
