Question

Can you understand the following words?

“Long time no see.”

“Good good study, day day up.”

“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.”

Yes, we call these examples Chinglish, like “people mountain, people sea”.

Chinglish usually means English vocabulary with Chinese grammar on street signs or products. However, many English speaking tourists love them. Tom has been living in Beijing for years. “I think many Chinese people dislike Chinglish. But I love it. It’s quite interesting. I think if the translations of English in China are all perfect, something will be lost from Chinese culture.” However, Chinglish will probably become a part of history in future. Beijing has made a plan to correct Chinglish within five years. “It is so funny to see Chinglish on the signs. And they are a kind of trouble for communication between the Chinese and foreigners,” a Beijinger said.

However, some people in China like Chinglish. They think that English has “borrowed” a lot from other languages such as German, French and Spanish in the past, and now as Chinese’s turn.

【解析】

试题分析:这篇文章主要围绕汉式英语有利有弊这一话题

1.C根据Chinglish usually means English vocabulary with Chinese grammar可知Chinglish是英语词汇和汉语语法的混合。

2.2】A “people mountain, people sea” 是典型的汉式英语，字面上的意思为人山人海，表示很多人。

3.3】B判断哪个句子是正确的。A所有的外国游客都讨厌汉式英语，由However, many English speaking tourists love them.可知有些本身说英语的游客很喜欢汉式英语，所以A句错误，B英语可能借鉴了汉语，由They think that English has “borrowed” a lot from other languages such as German, French and Spanish in the past, and now as Chinese’s turn.可以看出英语以前借鉴了法语，西班牙语等语言，现在借鉴了汉语。C汉式英语是历史的一部分，并且展示了中国文化，由Chinglish will probably become a part of history in future.可知文中说将来可能成为历史的一部分，并没有说现在是，D由they are a kind of trouble for communication between the Chinese and foreigners可以看出汉式英语是会造成交流障碍，而不是帮助。

4.4】D倒数第二段中Beijing has made a plan to correct Chinglish within five years.可知北京在5年内将改正韩式英语，D将来改正汉式英语。
