“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect 21 of Chinglish. Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal(照字面意思的) translation of the Chinese greeting with a ruined English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American 22 . I was too amazed to believe her. Her words could not convince me 23 . So I did a search on www.google.com. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages 24 “l(fā)ong time no see”. This sentence has been 25 used in emails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible place. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. 26 , if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
Nobody knows the 27 of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully 28 a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting(引用) Confucius(孔子). “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world thanks to the popularity of these movies.
Some scholars compare America to a huge pot of stew(大熔爐). All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together, and they 29 the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic(少數(shù)民族的) group in the United States, is also influenced some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be 30 in the mixed stew.
21. A. word B. sign C. example D. change
22. A. custom B. greeting C. habit D. proverb
23. A. almost B. in all C. at all D. after all
24. A. publishing B. printing C. containing D. expressing
25. A. seldom B. hardly C. widely D. deeply
26. A.Unfortunately B. Luckily C. Suddenly D. However
27. A. use B meaning C .expression D. origin
28. A. did B. published C. created D. discovered
29. A. improve B. change C. lower D. promote
