漢語學習熱 Chinese Learning Heat
On TV programs, we can see many foreigners can speak Chinese fluently and sing songs well. Or, walking on the street, we may see a foreigner talking with friends in fluent Chinese. And a lot of Confucius Institutes has been built arond the globe. Indeed, Chinese is more popular around the world than before, and the population speaking Chinese is on the rise. Some people argue that this phenomenon is good for the development of the language and the communication between countries, while others doubt it. As for me, I prefer to the former.
在電視節目上，我們可以看到很多外國人可以流利說中文和唱中文歌。或者，走在大街上我們可能會看到一個外國人用流利的中文和朋友交談。很多孔子學院在全球范圍內建立起來。事實上，漢語在全世界比以前更受歡迎了，說漢語的人口數量正在上升。有的人認為，這一現象對語言的發展以及國與國時間的交流是有好處的，而其他人則對此表示懷疑。在我看來，我更贊同前者的觀點。
With the Chinese-speaking population becoming larger and larger, Chinese is endowed with greater vitality, which is of great importance to the survival and development of a language. With constant change of time, more new words and phrase from other languages are added to Chinese, which greatly enriches Chinese. What's more, the wide use of Chinese can introduce real Chinese culture to the world so that people from other nations can gain a better and further understanding of China. Since language and culture are closely related, it's impossible to learn a language without learning its culture. Once knowing a nation's culture, the understanding of that nation would be deeper and the barriers would be eliminated gradually.
隨著說漢語的人口數量越來越多，漢語被賦予了更大的生命力，這對一門語言的生存和發展很重要。隨著時代的迅速改變，越來越多其他語言的詞和詞組加入到漢語中，這將大大豐富漢語。另外，漢語的廣泛使用能夠向世界介紹中國的真正文化，這樣來自其他國家的人們就能對中國有更好更深的了解。由于語言和文化是密切聯系的，我們不可能不學習文化就能學習一門語言。一旦了解一個國家的文化，對那個國家的了解就會更深，就能夠逐漸消除障礙。
From the discussions above, with the progressing of globalization, Chinese has been widely recognized and learned. It's a good way to broadcast our nation's culture. However, in view of this situation, we can not be to optimistic, because with the deepening of communication, something bad can be brought to our language, too. Therefore, we should be cautious to thisphenomenon.
從以上的討論我們可以看出，隨這全球化的進步，漢語已經被廣泛認識和學習。這是傳播我國文化的一種好方法。但是，鑒于這一情況，我們不能過于樂觀，因為隨著交流的深入，一些不好的東西也可以被帶到我們的語言。因此，我們應該對這一現象保持謹慎。
