英语课

      常常能够看到有关Chinglish(中式英语)的文章,但普通都是中国人写的。只是我看到一篇长文,也是有关Chinglish的,却是美国人写的,很有意思。这篇长文的标题是Chinglish 2 English(从中式英语到规范英语),作者是浙江大学的美国外教Chuck Allanson,内容则是Chuck在中国五年任教时期所听到、所看到的各类Chinglish说法。


   比方Chuck第一次来中国,下飞机后,担任接待他的西南某大学英语系陈教师说:您刚到,我们吃点饭吧。我们要点Chinese dumpling(饺子)和Chinese beancurd(豆腐),您看能够吗?Chuck以前从未听说过这两种东西,但出于猎奇,就说能够,后果饭菜端下去一看,原来就是ravioli(饺子,来自意大利语)和tofu(豆腐,来自日语)。Chuck事先心里暗想,这两种东西,国际上早已然有通用的说法(ravioli和tofu),他们中国人为什么还要用那种生僻的说法呢?过后Chuck跟陈先生混熟了,就问他,现在你为什么不说ravioli和tofu呢?陈先生听了大吃一惊,赶紧说明说,我真的不晓得这两个词,并且我们的《英汉词典》上也没有这两个词。
   于是Chuck开端认识到,中国的英语教员、英语课本、乃至英语词典一定存在Issue(问题),不然不成能出现这种事情。在中国五年的任教时期,Chuck搜集了少量的Chinglish说法,从中挑选出一组最多见的,编写了下面提到的那篇长文。上面就是这些Chinglish说法,其中每行第一局部是汉语说法,第二局部是Chinglish说法,第三局部则是英语的规范说法。
