中式英语和美式英语的区别(经典+实用)

最后一班公共汽车是12点开。

现在快12点了,赶快!重点是“快”怎么表达。

中国式:The last bus leaves at 12 o'clock. It's about 12 now, hurry up !美国式:The last bus leaves at 12 o'clock. It's nearly 12 now, hurry up !周六去某景点游玩,见路边一告示:“请勿践踏草地。

”还加了英文对照:Don't step on the grass.这是典型的中国式英语。

本来加上英文是很好的,但不能说成中国式英语啊。

你会怎么说呢?美国式:Keep off the grass.窃贼是从窗户进来的。

你会怎么说呢?中国式:The thief got in from the window.美国式:The thief got in through the window.从第十页开始这是英语老师常用的,但你会说成中国式英语吗?中国式:Let's begin from page 10.美国式:Let's begin at page 10.给我点钱吧,如果你有的话。

找父母要钱时的常用语,你会怎么说呢?中国式:Give me money, if you have.美国式:Give me money, if you have any.我建议你修长假。

如果“建议”用recommend,你会怎么说?中国式:I recommend you to take a long vacation.美国式:I recommend that you take a long vacation.不要对我期望太高。

期望用expect,你会怎么说咧?中国式:Don't expect me too much.美国式:Don't expect too much from me.有人在敲门,去看看是谁。

老外眼里的中式英语PK标准英语老外眼里的中式英语PK标准英语在各个英语学习论坛上,经常可以看到有关Chinglish(中式英语)的文章,但一般都是中国人写的。

不过我看到一篇长文,也是有关Chinglish的,但却是美国人写的,很有意思。

这篇长文的标题是Chinglish 2 English(从中式英语到标准英语),作者是浙江大学的美国外教Chuck Allanson,内容则是Chuck在中国五年任教期间所听到、所看到的各种Chinglish说法。

比如Chuck第一次来中国,下飞机后,负责接待他的东北某大学英语系陈老师说:您刚到,我们吃点饭吧。

我们要点Chinese dumpling(饺子)和Chinese beancurd (豆腐),您看可以吗?Chuck以前从未听说过这两种东西,但出于好奇,就说可以,结果饭菜端上来一看,原来就是ravioli(饺子,来自意大利语)和tofu(豆腐,来自日语)。

Chuck当时心里暗想,这两种东西,国际上早已经有通用的说法(ravioli和tofu),他们中国人为什么还要用那种生僻的说法呢?以后Chuck 跟陈先生混熟了,就问他,当初你为什么不说ravioli和tofu呢?陈先生听了大吃一惊,连忙解释说,我真的不知道这两个词,而且我们的《英汉词典》上也没有这两个词。

于是Chuck开始意识到,中国的英语教师、英语课本、甚至英语词典肯定存在问题,否则不可能发生这种事情。

在中国五年的任教期间,Chuck收集了大量的Chinglish说法,从中挑选出一组最常见的,编写了上面提到的那篇长文。

下面就是这些Chinglish说法,其中每行第一部分是汉语说法,第二部分是Chinglish说法,第三部分则是英语的标准说法。

①欢迎你到... ②welcome you to ... ③welcome to ...①永远记住你②remember you forever ③always remember you(没有人能活到forever)①祝你有个... ②wish you have a ... ③I wish you a ...①给你②give you ③here you are①很喜欢... ②very like ... ③like ... very much①黄头发②yellow hair ③blond/blonde(西方人没有yellow hair的说法)①厕所②WC ③men's room/women's room/restroom①真遗憾②it's a pity ③that's too bad/it's a shame(it's a pity说法太老)①裤子②trousers ③pants/slacks/jeans①修理②mend ③fix/repair①入口②way in ③entrance①出口②way out ③exit(way out在口语中是crazy的意思)①勤奋②diligent ③hardworking/studious/conscientious①应该②should ③must/shall①火锅②chafing dish ③hot pot①大厦②mansion ③center/plaza①马马虎虎②so-so ③average/fair/all right/not too bad/OK(西方人很少使用so-so)①好吃②delicious ③good/nice/tasty/appetizing(delicious在中国被滥用)①尽我最大努力②try my best ③try/strive(try的本意就是try my best)①有名②famous ③well-known/renowned/legendary/popular(famous在中国被滥用)①滑稽②humorous ③funny/witty/amusing/entertaining①欺骗②to cheat ③to trick/to play a joke on/to con/to deceive/to rip off①车门②the door of the car ③the car's door①怎么拼? ②how to spell? ③how do you spell?①再见②bye-bye ③bye/see you/see you later/later(bye-bye有些孩子气)①玩②play ③go to/do(play在中国被滥用)①面条②noodles ③pasta(noodles有些孩子气)①据说②it is said ③I heard/I read/I was told①等等②and so on ③etc.①直到现在②till now ③recently/lately/thus far①农民②peasant ③farmer①宣传②propaganda ③information90%以上中国人最易错发的两个音今天我们来谈谈90%以上的中国人都要发错的两个音。

Chinglish,即"中式英语"。

中式英语在英语被称为“Chinglish”,是汉语及英语的英文混合而成的合体字。

中式英文和美式英文读法对比

中式英文和美式英文读法对比

中式英文和美式英文读法对比The English language has become a global lingua franca, with hundreds of millions of non-native speakers around the world. As English spreads to different regions, local accents and pronunciations inevitably emerge, leading to variations in how the language is spoken. Two prominent examples of such variations are Chinese English and American English. While both are forms of English, they exhibit distinct characteristics in terms of pronunciation that can be traced back to the linguistic and cultural influences of their respective regions.One of the most noticeable differences between Chinese English and American English lies in the way vowel sounds are produced. In Chinese English, vowels tend to be more monophthongal, meaning they maintain a relatively stable sound throughout their duration. For instance, the word "face" is often pronounced as "fays" by Chinese speakers, with a pure "a" sound rather than the diphthongal "ei" sound found in American English. Similarly, the word "boat" may be pronounced as "bote" with a long "o" sound, instead of the diphthongal "ou" sound in American English.This tendency towards monophthongal vowels in Chinese English can be attributed to the influence of the Mandarin Chinese language. Mandarin, like many other Chinese dialects, has a relatively simple vowel system compared to English, with fewer diphthongs and more pure vowel sounds. As a result, Chinese learners of English often struggle to reproduce the complex diphthongal vowel sounds that are common in American English.Another significant difference between Chinese English and American English is the treatment of consonant clusters. In American English, consonant clusters are often reduced or simplified, particularly in casual speech. For example, the word "just" may be pronounced as "jus," with the final "t" sound being omitted. In contrast, Chinese English speakers tend to maintain the full consonant clusters, often pronouncing words like "just" with a clear "t" sound at the end.This difference can be traced back to the phonological structure of Mandarin Chinese, which generally does not allow for complex consonant clusters. Chinese speakers, when learning English, often transfer this preference for simpler consonant structures to their English pronunciation, leading to a more distinct and deliberate articulation of consonant clusters.Another notable distinction between Chinese English and American English is the treatment of certain consonant sounds, particularly the "th" sound. In American English, the "th" sound is typically realized as either a voiced "th" (as in "the") or a voiceless "th" (as in "think"). However, in Chinese English, the "th" sound is often substituted with a "t" or "s" sound, resulting in pronunciations like "tink" for "think" or "sree" for "three."This substitution can be attributed to the fact that the "th" sound does not exist in Mandarin Chinese, and Chinese learners of English often struggle to produce this unfamiliar sound accurately. Instead, they rely on the closest available sounds in their native language, leading to the characteristic "t" or "s" substitutions in Chinese English.Furthermore, the stress patterns and intonation in Chinese English and American English can vary significantly. In American English, stress is often placed on the first syllable of a word, and the overall intonation tends to be more varied and expressive. In contrast, Chinese English speakers often place equal stress on each syllable, resulting in a more monotonous and evenly-paced delivery.This difference in stress and intonation can be linked to the tonal nature of Mandarin Chinese, where the pitch and tone of a syllable carry important meaning. Chinese speakers, when learning English, may unconsciously transfer this tonal system to their Englishpronunciation, leading to a more evenly stressed and less melodic delivery.Despite these differences, it is important to note that Chinese English is not inherently "incorrect" or "inferior" to American English. Rather, it represents a legitimate variation of the language, shaped by the unique linguistic and cultural influences of the Chinese context. In fact, Chinese English can be seen as a vibrant and dynamic form of the language, reflecting the rich diversity of English speakers around the world.Moreover, the rise of Chinese English has also had a significant impact on the global spread and evolution of the English language. As more non-native speakers use English as a means of communication, the language is becoming increasingly adaptable and accommodating to diverse regional and cultural influences. This evolution is not limited to Chinese English but can be observed in various other forms of "World Englishes" that have emerged in different parts of the globe.In conclusion, the comparison between Chinese English and American English pronunciations highlights the fascinating diversity of the English language. While there are undoubtedly differences in vowel sounds, consonant clusters, specific consonant substitutions, and stress patterns, these variations are a testament to thelanguage's ability to adapt and thrive in different cultural and linguistic contexts. As the use of English continues to expand globally, it is important to recognize and appreciate the rich tapestry of "World Englishes" that are shaping the future of this dynamic and ever-evolving language.。

不要再说这些Chinglish

不要再说这些Chinglish

要再说这些Chinglish,让你听上去不再那么Asian1. 价格挺合适/挺好的。

Chinglish: The price is very suitable.English: The price is right. / The price is appropriate. / The price is good.提示:suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知中,如:这部影片儿童不宜。

This movie is not suitable for children.2. 你是做什么工作的呢?Chinglish: What's your job?English: Are you working at the moment?提示:前一种说法的语气显得生硬唐突,因为对方可能目前并未上班。

后一种说法——“目前你是在上班吗?”可以引出你要问的问题:目前你在哪儿工作呢?Where are you working at?/ Wheredo you work?或者:你从事哪个行业呢?What line of work are you in? / What type of work doyou do?最简单的问法当然还是:What do you do?3. 用英语怎么说?Chinglish: How to say?English: How do you say that in English?提示:How to say 不是一个完整的句子,而是引领分句。

同类的例子还有:请问这个单词怎么拼?How do you spell that please? 请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word?4. 明天我有事。

Chinglish: I have something to do tomorrow.English: I am tied up all day tomorrow.提示:要表达脱不开身,可以说:I'm tied up. 或:I can't make it at that time. I'd love to, but Ican't, I have to stay at home. 即明天不行啊,我很想去,但没办法,得待在家。

“黄油由牛奶制成”别译作“Butter is made of milk”

“黄油由牛奶制成”别译作“Butter is made of milk”

“黄油由牛奶制成”别译作“Butter is made of milk”作者:咔咔来源:《初中生之友·中旬刊》2020年第10期在学习英语的过程中,需要注意中文和英文语言上的文化差异和表达习惯的不同。

很多中文里正确的表达,直接翻译成英语之后会造成误会,也就是我们所说的“中式英语”,说出来其实是不准确的。

接下来是四个句子的表达练习,先试着翻译一下,然后我们再来跟正确的表达对照一下,看看你所想到的句子是否正确又地道。

1.黄油由牛奶制成。

2.这只猫太胖了。

3.我忘记锁过门了。

4.我站在教室前面。

1.黄油由牛奶制成。

中国式:Butter is made of milk.美国式:Butter is made from milk.“be made of”表示“由……制作而成的”时,这个制作出来的物品是能看出原材料的。

比如,“The table is made of wood”(桌子是由木头制作而成的),因为你看到桌子的时候就能看出原材料是木头。

而“be made from”表示“由……制作而成的”时,这个制作出来的物品是不能看出原材料的,也就是材料发生了变化。

“黄油由牛奶制成”,你一眼看不出原材料是牛奶,所以要说“But?ter is made from milk”。

2.这只猫太胖了。

中国式:The cat is too much fat.美国式:The cat is much too fat.词组“too much”中,“too”是程度副词,用来修饰“much”这个形容词,而“much”又是用来修饰名词的,所以“too much”的后面接名词。

而“much too”刚好相反,这时候“much”作为副词,来形容“too”这个副词,而“too”又是修饰形容词或副词的,所以“much too”的后面接形容词或副词。

“这只猫太胖了”的英文翻译中“fat”是一个形容词,所以前面要用“much too”修饰。
