Discussion on Chinglish

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

What is the widest used language all over the world? Of course it is English.

Rencently, there is a news, that in order to make good preparation of the World Expo, shanghai holds a activity of clearing out the Chinglish advertising slogans to avoid being laughed by foreigners. On the other hand, the Guardian in UK publics some articles to protect Chinglish from disappearing, and feels a pity that the Chinglish would be extinct.
Should Chinglish be defended or liquidated? When we have the self-confidence to not feel awkward about Chinglish, we should also endow Chinglish with genuine culture and creative vitality.

Chinglish is regarded as the short form for Chinese English. It is the combination of Chinese grammar and English words. It is greatly welcomed by people while regarded as unstandard by official.

In 2007, a Germany youth named Oliver Lutz Radtke published a book Chinglish- Found in Translation. It is a collection about Chinglish which he saw on the Chinese streets. Besides, he has also established a personal blog to show the pictures taken in public places about the Chinglish slogans. His blog is called Chinglish museum by people for fun.

It is said that the influence of Chinglish becomes greater and greater in the world. As is estimated, English words increased by twenty thousand in 2005. 20% of them are related with Chinglish.

In fact, there are two kinds of Chinglish. One is that words translated directly by translation software, which would lead to misunderstanding while communicate with it. Strictly speaking, this is not the real Chinglish. The other is one translated according to Chinese culture. Take “People Mountain People Sea” as an example, foreigners can infer from the phrase that the words mountain and sea are used to express the idea of large quantity. So they can understand that he phrase means number of people. You can see, real Chinglish will not course any misunderstanding, but will be helpful to transmit Chinese culture.

In a word, we should respect the Standard English. But chinglish, as a cultural phenomenon, should be protected; but it should be the real Chinglish of course.

The Different Dietary Culture between East and West

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

what is the main culture difference between east and west? What makes the difference between east and west? Western culture is based on individualism rather than on mass (collectivism). For instance, in the west, you always talk about individual rights, instead of placing the whole society above your own self. This is clearly different in China where a country, society or family are placed above your own self. we can also see the difference from their diet.

Western culture (in particular, modern American culture) can be said to be male and female culture. But the Chinese culture can be said to be a dietary culture. “As the reason of the cultural traditions, the western lives tend to men and women, but because of the narrow gender relations, Chinese people are dumping guidance on life in the restaurants. Thus the diet is rich in culture. Food culture in the west is not developed enough, but this underdevelopment itself is the result of the development of a culture.

The ways people eat, that is, the table manner, really distinguish a lot. The reason for this is probably because of the different dining tools and menus. Easterners use chopsticks, or sometimes even grasp rice straightly with hands as Indians do. The thin and long chopsticks cannot be used to cut food, so we usually use our teeth to act as knives. We hold our food, meat or vegetable, with the chopsticks, send them to the mouths, bite off a part of it and remain the other part on the chopsticks. That’s the usual way we eat. We are also used to hold up our bowls when having rice or soup. Japanese hold bowls to have miso soup without spoons. But all these habits are considered rude in the Western countries. The etiquette in the West requests that when eating, bowls and plates cannot leave the tables. Food should be cut by knives to fit into the mouths. Of course your mouth cannot touch the plates or bowls. So the regular process is like this. You cut your steak on the plate with fork and knife, send the meat cube into the mouth with fork and nothing will be returned back but the fork alone.
