[quote=LEONARDO,375836]Chinglish, Chinese English, refers to the ungrammatic words and expressions in spoken and written English used by Chinese people in the daily communication. When you visit China, you may have noticed a plenty of Chinglish expressions. Some foreigners may find Chinglish annoying, while others think it doesn’t matter because Chinglish is comprehensible to the native speakers. Some Chinese English expressions are very funny and interesting. Some Chinglish words like “Long time no see” (好(hǎo)久(jiǔ)不(bú)见(jiàn) have been accepted by the native speakers. An online poll conducted in Shanghai shows that 70 percent of Chinese are for the use of Chinglish. Chinese people can understand Chinglish very well. A poll also selects the top “Chinglish expressions”. 好好学习(hǎo hǎo xué xí),天天向上(tiān tiān xiàng shàng)(Good good study, day day up!) is on the top of the list, which means “study hard, and makes progress everyday!” Have you ever seen some Chinglish signs? Can you understand them? Do you think if Chinglish should be abolished or not? Chairman Mao Tse-tung used to encourage the Chinese pupils to study hard and make progress everyday!好(hǎo)好(hǎo)学(xué)习(xí),天(tiān)天(tiān)向(xiàng)上(shàng) - Good good study, day day up! (Study hard, make progress everyday!) [/quote]
