"I like your smile,but dislike you put your shoes on my face".A charming way of saying "Keep off the grass".But could you figure it out?Or this:"Wash Clothing Store" for laundry.
They are both typical Chinglish,a combination of English vocabulary and Chinese grammar.
Expressions such as "people mountain people sea",means extremely crowded,and "give you some color to see see",meaning a punishment,are widely known and recognized.
Chinglish has been attracting global attention in recent years as China grows rapidly in status on the world stage,attracting both fans and detractors(诽谤者).
The Beijing Speaks Foreign Languages Programme and English First China Company,a language trainer known as EF Education,jointly launched a campaign to root out poor grammar and misused vocabulary in downtown Beijing.They argue Chinglish is an embarrassment that we should let it die out at all costs.
"It is meaningful to allow the capital to show its most beautiful historical and cultural heritage to the world." said Michael Lu,vice-president of EF Education.He believed signs were very important in public services. "The signs in some old buildings confused foreign visitors. " Chinglish,although the target of much criticism,has also won supporters who regard it as an interesting way for foreigners to learn how Chinese people think and express themselves.
"Many Chinglish logos carry Chinese elements and they will enrich the English language," 32-year-old Oliver Radtke said.He had even published a book "Chinglish:Found in Translation," on the subject,50,000 copies of which have been sold since it was published in 2007.
Some Chinese university experts also side with Chinglish. "English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth,and the emergence(出现)of Chinglish again shows the language's liveliness and inclusiveness(包容性)," said Shi Anbin,an associate professor of Tsinghua University.
