Unit 2 English around the world【单元导航】中国式英语欧洲人做过精细的统计，自1994年以来加入国际英语行列的词汇中，中式英语贡献了5%到20%，超过任何其他来源。

除“孔夫子(Confucious)”、“中国功夫(kung fu)”、“麻将(mahjong)”或者“豆腐(tofu)”之类绝无仅有的称谓，再挑拣几个真正有中国气质、代表华夏气派、并影响全球当代生活的“鸡蛋词”。

(一)丝绸——silk中国是养蚕大国，丝绸的故乡。

“silk”的发音，显然是汉语的音译，这个词代表了中国高超的工艺技术和贸易强势。

即便现在，丝绸仍在现代生活中充当雍容华丽、典雅高贵的象征。

(二)茶——tea这个词，又是英国人从拗口的闽南话里偷走的。

茶，和丝绸、瓷器比肩，堪称古代中国对外贸易的拳头产品。

目前，品茶代表了一种生活方式和文化品位。

18世纪的柴斯特顿勋爵在《训子家书》里写道：“尽管茶来自东方，它毕竟是绅士气味的；而可可则是个痞子、懦夫，一头粗野的猛兽。

”(三)世外桃源——Shangrila (Xanadu)这是两个近义词，都有“世外桃源”的意思。

“Shangrila”出自西藏的传说之地——香格里拉，“Xanadu”则是蒙古的元上都。

如果要表达“世外桃源”，通常采用“Xanadu”这个词。

(四)风水——Feng Shui风水，还是音译。

它凝聚了古代中国在活人住宅和死人墓地方面的集体智慧。

近年来，风水在美国红极一时，从中国人唇齿之间发出的音节，已经成为当代人急需探究的学问。

(五)走狗——running dogs中国式英语“running dogs”贴切地表达了一种见利忘义、供人驱使的“下三烂”。

最先运用这个词的是中国人，还是英国人，已无从考证；重要的是，英语世界接纳了“走狗”，并以汉语的思维抚育这个“外来词”。

接纳词汇的同时，无形中也接受了中国人的价值观。

(六)大款、巨亨——tycoon这种称呼是近些年才流行街巷的，指有钱、有势的商人或者企业家，中国传统的叫法是“大掌柜”。

Unit 2 English around the world-reading-课件 (10)

Elsewhere in Africa and on the Indian subcontinent(次大陆), English is still used as an official language in several countries,even though these countries are independent of British rule.However, English remains very much a second language for most people,used in administration(行政),education and government and as a means of communicating between speakers of different languages.As with most of the Commonwealth(英联邦),British English is the model on which, for instance,Indian English is based.In the Caribbean and especially in Canada,however,historical ties with the UK compete with geographical,cultural and economic (经济的)ties with the USA,so that some aspects (方面)of their English follow British rules and others show US usage.
C
(3)How long did Britain rule India? D A.About 100 years. B.About 50 years. C.About 350 years. D.About 200 years. (4)Who gave American English spelling its own identity? C A.Shakespeare.

Ⅳ.阅读理解导学号 26774133(2017·福建省龙岩四校第一学期半期考) In southern China (not including Hong Kong and Macau), where both Standard Chinese and local dialects are spoken, welleducated Chinese are generally fluent in Standard Chinese, and most people have a good command of it, in addition to being native speakers of the local dialect. The choice of dialect varies(变化) based on the social situation. Standard Chinese is usually considered more formal and is required when speaking to a person who does not understand the local dialect. The local dialect is generally considered more intimate so it is used among close family members and friends and in everyday conversation within the local area. Parents will generally speak to their children in dialect, and the relationship between dialect and Mandarin(普通话) seems to be mostly stable. Local languages give a sense ofidentity to local cultures.Knowing the local dialect is of great social benefit, and most Chinese who settled down a new area will try to pick up the local dialect. Learning a new dialect is usually done informally through a process of immersion(沉浸) and recognizing sound shifts. Generally the differences are more pronounced lexically(词汇)than grammatically. Usually, a speaker of one dialect of Chinese will need about a year of immersion to understand the local dialect and about three to five years to become fluent in speaking it. Because of the variety of dialects spoken, there are usually few formal methods for learning a local dialect.Due to the variety in Chinese speech, Mandarin speakers from each area of China are very often likely to “translate” words from their local language into their Mandarin conversations. In addition, each area of China has its recognizable accents while speaking Mandarin. Generally, the nationalized standard form of Mandarin pronunciation is only heard on news and radio broadcasts. Even in the streets of Beijing, the accent of Mandarin varies in pronunciation from the Mandarin heard on the media.文章大意：本文主要讲述在日常生活中，中国人既讲普通话也讲当地方言。
