Is youth lingo ruining the Chinese language?

Young people often create their own language that goes beyond rigid linguistic rules. This year's latest slang （俚語） terms add a further simplification: the use of pinyin acronyms （首字母縮略詞）. “Awsl,” in pinyin, for instance,means “Ah, wo si le” （Oh, I'm gonna die）, and is used if something is too cute or adorable to bear. “Pyq” stands for “pengyou quan”，the social feed on the popular Chinese social media app WeChat, and “nsdd” stands for “ni shuo de dui” （you're right）.

Teens want to be different from their parents, so it's natural for them to create and use their own linguistic terms to show that. In doing so, young people are indeed driving linguistic change. They aren't the only factor influencing language development, but they can indeed transform how future generations communicate.

Critics fear that Chinese internet slang will have the potential to negatively influence broader linguistic trends of Mandarin Chinese, in particular, the gradual taking over of pinyin. As pinyin gets widely used when texting or writing on mobile phone or computer, while less and less people write characters by hand, people gradually forget how to write them. The phenomenon has got a name in China: Character amnesia （健忘癥）

Answer 1

【答案】Nowadays, young people often create some new slangs to differentiate themselves. However, with the rapid development of Internet lingo, many critics, especially the seniors, believe that the emergence of such lingo will damage the foundation of Chinese language.

In my opinion, it is not necessary to worry about the new slang that will likely weaken the new generation’s capability of writing or remembering Chinese characters. There are two reasons. Firstly, the purpose of language is to convey ideas and share opinions. Thus, the prevailing youth lingo,as a more concise and efficient way of expression, is in fact an enrichment of modern Chinese language. Secondly, since every era has its own young generation,the youth lingo, can be a new indentity for young people ,cannot pollute or extinct Chinese language but by contrast, it may become an emblem or living fossil of this specific era.

To conclude, while language development is inevitable, Chinese internet lingo is unlikely to replace the existing use of Mandarin Chinese but will be enriching it by adding a new layer or dimension to it.

【解析】

這是一篇議論文。青少年希望與父母不同，所以他們自然會(huì)創(chuàng)造并使用自己的語言來表達(dá)這一點(diǎn)。年輕人這樣做確實(shí)推動(dòng)了語言的變化。它們并不是影響語言發(fā)展的唯一因素，但它們確實(shí)可以改變后代的交流方式。

第一步，明確任務(wù)。認(rèn)真閱讀命題，弄清任務(wù)和要求。很明顯，任務(wù)一是“概括短文的內(nèi)容要點(diǎn)”。注意:概括階段并不需要加上個(gè)人的見解。任務(wù)二是“發(fā)表你的看法”。你可以同意或者反對(duì)文章觀點(diǎn)，也可以對(duì)文章的各種觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)行折中。

第二步，概括轉(zhuǎn)述所給的短文的大意。對(duì)短文進(jìn)行概括是一個(gè)獲取信息、加工信息的過程，需要嚴(yán)謚的思維和準(zhǔn)確的表達(dá)能力，而且要使用自己的語言來表達(dá)，“不要抄襲閱讀材料中的句子”。因此，“概括短文的內(nèi)容要點(diǎn)”，實(shí)為客觀簡要地轉(zhuǎn)述作者的觀點(diǎn)、論據(jù)和結(jié)論。（Nowadays, young people often create some new slangs to differentiate themselves. However, with the rapid development of Internet lingo, many critics, especially the seniors, believe that the emergence of such lingo will damage the foundation of Chinese language.）

第三步，發(fā)表你的觀點(diǎn)，并用23個(gè)理由或論據(jù)支撐你的看法。（Firstly, the purpose of language is to convey ideas and share opinions. Secondly, since every era has its own young generation,the youth lingo, can be a new indentity for young people ,cannot pollute or extinct Chinese language but by contrast, it may become an emblem or living fossil of this specific era.）
