“中式英语”简直是阻挡在英语学习者面前的一座重重的大山,脱口而出的“chinglish”总能让人无时无刻不陷入尴尬。说着一口只有中国人才能听得懂的英语是一种怎样的体验?

浓浓的“chinglish”让外国人懵x中国人秒懂,只能勉强用“中式英语八级”来安慰自己。接下来小编就来盘点一下我们身边的那些「中式英语重灾区」。

1

广告标语

现如今,生活场景中的很多地方都会加上英文标注,例如地铁站、超市以及旅游景点等公共场所。这原本是一件好事,但当它们遇上中式英语,就成了麻烦和笑话。

emmm...能不能派个英语老师先审一下?

这个......你们评论下〜( ̄△ ̄〜)

小鸟说,不了吧......

成语俗语

中国传统文化博大精深,成语和俗语就是其中一颗璀璨的珍宝。不过,当它们遇上“塑料翻译”那可就是大型翻车现场了。

人山人海

×people mountain people sea

不三不四

×no three no four

美中不足

×American Chinese not enough

好好学习 天天向上

×good good study day day up

给你点颜色瞧瞧

×give you some color to see see

你问我我问谁

×you ask me,me ask who

* 以上翻译为网友恶搞,成语俗语类勿按字面意思直译

日常口语

很多“中式英语”也仅仅只是我们内部的调侃恶搞,但当外出旅游难免碰上需要求助外国朋友的情况。这时,“中式英语”可能会给你带来大麻烦哟。

•询问厕所

Excuse me,where is WC?

Excuse me,where is the toilet?

*外出旅游询问洗手间,可用restroom或toilet

•询问时间

What time is now?

What time is it?

*想问时间,简单的“what time is it?”就够啦

有的人说,“语言在于运用,很多“中式英语”外国人也听得懂,干嘛那么较真!”但是,不同国家的的语言体现了不同的思维方式和文化,学习语言不仅是用来沟通交流,更是一种文化的学习感悟。况且,不纯正地道的表达方式也极其容易造成误会
