Should We Ban Internet Slang in News and Formal Documents？

我們應(yīng)該在新聞和政府文件中禁止網(wǎng)絡(luò)詞語的使用嗎？

The Internet has become an indispensable part of our daily life as we step into the new century. The Network language is also very popular in our daily communication. The terms such as “ren jian bu chai” for “l(fā)ife is hard, don’t hurt me with the truth”, “dinosaurs” for ugly women, “gelivable” for awesome, “Beverly Hillbillies” for rich men, can be seen in the newspaper or official documents. Some people think such kind of words will pollute our traditional language, while the other say these terms can enrich our language. We can use it as long as it can be understood by ordinary people. There is no need to ban them. In my humble opinion, we can use these Internet slang terms, but take the essence and discard the dross.

進入新世紀以來，因特網(wǎng)成為了人們生活中不可缺的一部分。網(wǎng)絡(luò)語言也在人們的日常交流中廣受歡迎。網(wǎng)絡(luò)詞語比如“人家不拆”，意為“人生已經(jīng)夠艱難了，就不要再用事實來拆穿我了”；“恐龍”表示相貌難看的女生；“給力”意味著“很棒”；“土豪”意為超級有錢人，這些詞語都可以在報紙甚至是政府報告中看到了。一些人認為此類的網(wǎng)絡(luò)語言會污染我們的母語，而另一些人則認為這些語言可以擴大及豐富我們的母語。只要能讓人明白這些詞是什么意思，就能夠使用它們。沒有必要禁止使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)詞語。在我看來，我們應(yīng)該對網(wǎng)絡(luò)語言取其精華去其糟粕。

Some people are worried about that the network languages will have bad influenced on the young people, especially they are in the critical period of learning knowledge and forming their values and temperament. It’s true that some of the Internet slang consists of sexually-suggestive, violence and other unhealthy contents. The young people may easily get influenced by those negative factors. And it do harm the healthy development of language and cultural.

一些人則擔心網(wǎng)絡(luò)語言會對年輕人產(chǎn)生不良影響，特別是那些還在學習、價值觀及性格都還未定性的青少年來說。不可否認，網(wǎng)絡(luò)詞語言中確實存在性暗示、暴力等其他不良內(nèi)容。年輕人很容易就受到這些負面因素的影響。這確實會給語言和文化的健康發(fā)展帶來影響。

Each coin has two sides. The network language is no exception. As an open and free language, the Internet slang has the characteristics of interesting, brevity and newness. It reflects the modern language tendency and social values. There are countless words are created in every single day. These terms help our language to become better and richer. As for some not so good ones, they will be dropped out naturally. The fittest will survive. So we just don’t need to worry too much about the future of Internet slang.

任何事物都有正反面，網(wǎng)絡(luò)語言也不例外。作為自由、開放的語言，網(wǎng)絡(luò)語具備了風趣幽默、簡潔明了、創(chuàng)意十足的特征。它反映了當代語言的趨勢和社會的價值取向。每一天，都有不計其數(shù)的詞匯產(chǎn)生。這些詞匯使得我們的語言更為豐富，也更好。至于那些不怎么好的詞，它們自然會被社會所淘汰掉。適者生存。所以我們不必對網(wǎng)絡(luò)語言的未來過于擔心。

To sum up, I think we should take a calm, objective view of network language. The good ones can stand the test of time, and be accepted by the people. As to the bad ones, they will be forgotten by the history, aren’t they?

總的來說，我認為我們應(yīng)該對網(wǎng)絡(luò)語言持一個冷靜、客觀的態(tài)度。好的詞語會耐得住時間的考驗，最終被人們所接受。至于壞的那些，終將被歷史所遺忘，難道不是嗎？
