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",meaning a punishment,are widely known and recognized.
Chinglish has been attracting global attention in recent years as China grows rapidly in stature on the world stage,attracting both fans and detractors.
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 show its most beautiful historical and cultural heritage to the world."Michael Lu,vice-president of EF Education said,"since the launching of the campaign,foreign teachers and students had been very keen to volunteer participation."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.About 50,000copies of the book 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 of Chinglish again testifies to the language's vitality and inclusiveness,"said Shi Anbin,an associate professor of Tsinghua University.
