Taboos (禁忌) of different people’s culture

A taboo (忌諱，禁忌) is a social action that is not allowed. Every culture in the world has its own taboos. The breaking of a taboo sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable. I learned this through my own experience.

Last weekend, Wang Lin and I showed two foreigners (外國人) around our city. Mr Singh was from India and Mr. White from USA. When I held out my left hand to shake hands with him, Mr. Singh seemed to be unhappy. Mr. White, however, was quite casual (隨意). He said hello to me with a big smile and a wave of his hand.

In the evening, we stopped at a restaurant for dinner. I noticed that Mr. Singh didn’t touch the beef and Mr. White seemed not to like chickens’ claws (爪). During the meal, Wang Lin said sorry to Mr. Singh and continued to explain that we didn’t know it was a taboo in India to shake one’s left hand. Mr. Singh explained that since oxen (牛) are sacred (神圣的) in India, people don’t eat beef there. Mr. White joined in and said that it was not usual in the USA for people to eat chickens’ claws. He went on to say that Americans don’t usually get into each other’s personal (私人的) space. Marriage, job and age are their taboos. Isn’t it a good lesson to remember?

【題目】Perhaps you’ve seen the English letters “WC” in your city. They show public toilets. But do

you know it is far from elegant (優(yōu)雅的) English? In fact, foreigners from English-speaking countries rarely use the letters.

Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.

“WC, or water closet, is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Charlie Shifflet, a young man from the US. The old sign will become “Gents/Men” and “Ladies/Women”.

“I see lots of poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs,” he says. “I know what they mean. But they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me ‘My hometown is Henan Province, I know he should say: ‘My hometown is in Henan Province’. ‘Hometown’ is a smaller place in a province.”

The common mistakes he picked up include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”, “Direction of Airport” should be changed to “To the Airport”. And it is “room rate”, not “room price”. And remember to “Keep off the grass”, rather than “Care of the green”.

【1】 What does the writer think of the use of “WC”?

A. He doesn’t think it means water closet.

B. He doesn’t think it old-fashioned English.

C. He doesn’t think it proper for a sign.

D. He thinks it elegant English.

【2】 The underlined word “rarely” means _________.

. sometimes B. seldom

C. often D. always

【3】 Charlie Shifflet .

A. is a Chinese living in America

B. thinks Chinese people are sometimes using incorrect English

C. likes to hear or see Chinglish

D. sometimes uses Chinglish

【4】 Which of the following signs does NOT use Chinglish?

A. B.

C. D.

【5】 The last paragraph is about .

A. why there are so many Chinglish signs

B. examples of Chinglish

C. where Chinglish signs are

D. who uses Chinglish signs
