10、ted a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there.

11、fter supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncles exciting tales. He was just in the middle of describing a

14、erwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed.That night we all slept on the floor to the sitting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment collapse on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gav
15、e up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either!21.

Hospitable and wealthy.Passage 2You might ask, what is Chinglish, anyway? It depends on whom you ask. Chinese parents raising their children in English-speaking coun
19、tries will probably answer: Chinglish is a useful mix of standard Chinese or Cantonese terms with day-to-day English. It is indeed convenient to shorten a sentence such as “I dont want to go now because it is too hot and it will be hard to find a parking lot anyway” into “Dont go la, hot la, tai maf
20、an la.” For the Chinese high-school teacher, Chinglish is the students unsuccessful attempts to understand English in a Chinese way, resulting in sentences such as “Please hurry to walk or well be late” or “She is very miserable and her heart broke.” However, the English-speaking traveler more frequ
21、ently comes across Chinglish in the form of public signs. No matter how one looks at the phenomenon, one thing is clear: Chinglish is not a language. Chinglish might be found, according to some scholars, in Chinese Pidgin (混杂语) English, which came to life in the eighteenth century when the British s

The term came from the word “business” and served, according to the great Yale China scholar Jonathan Spencer, “to keep the differing communities in touch, by mixing words from Portuguese, Indian, English, and various Chinese dialects, and spelling them
23、according to Chinese grammar.” Some believe that expressions like “Long time no see” or “No can do” appeared during that time. Others refer to the late Qing-Dynasty Empress Dowager Cixi, who forced Chinese villagers to live and work in the West in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Another

25、eginning of Chinas policy of Reform and Opening.No matter which theory one prefers, two things are certain: first, Chinglish exists because people move, and second, as a language phenomenon (现象), it is almost new. Although most Chinglish expressions are widely regarded as mistakes, occasionally some
