22、“Long time no see.” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s e-mail, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.
Obviously, it is a word-by-word translation of the Chinese greeting with wrong English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her. Her words were unbelievable at all. So I did research on Google.com. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily.
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood movie makers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective (侦探) named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see.” was his symbol. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see.” became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.
Some scholars compare America to a huge melting pot. All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together, and they change the colour and taste of each other. Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.
You can have some examples from other countries, such as pizza from Italian, sushi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Since Americans admire Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way, the American’s melting pot keeps adding richness and flavour.
【1】What did the writer himself feel surprised at?
A.Word-by-word translations in America.
B.The Chinglish expression “Long time no see.”
C.“Long time no see.” used by Americans every day.
D.“Long time no see.” used as a standard American English greeting.
【2】What can be inferred according to paragraph 3?
A.All kinds of languages are affected by cultures.
B.Hollywood made “Long time no see.” popular.
C.Cultures can’t be changed in the huge melting pot.
D.Detectives translated the phrase “Long time no see.”
【3】What’s the author’s attitude to the American’s mixed pot?
A.Opposed.
B.Curious.
C.Favorable.
D.Indifferent.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Chinese expressions are introduced into English.
B.The melting pot is the symbol of American culture.
C.Some American expressions can be used in China.
D.American English keeps being enriched by different cultures.
