Does technology pose a threat to the purity of Chinese language? Many Chinese use instant messenger tools such as MSN or QQ, listen to music on MP3 players and log on the Internet using ADSL — most without knowing the literal Chinese translation of the abbreviations（缩略语）.
But they don’t have to, as many English letters have become part of the local lexicon.
A dozen abbreviations including GDP, NBA, IT, MP3, QQ, DVD and CEO are among the 5,000 most-frequently used words in the Chinese-language media last year, according to a report on the 2006 Language Situation in China, which was released yesterday in Beijing.
The report said some parents are so keen on English letters that a couple tried to name their baby “@”, claiming the character used in email addresses reflects their love for the child.
While the “@” is obviously familiar to Chinese e-mail users, they often use the English word “at” to pronounce it, which with a drawn out “T” sounds something like ai ta, or “love him”, to Putonghua speakers.
The study collected more than 1 billion language samples from newspapers, magazines, TV, radio and websites. The annual report is jointly compiled（编撰）by the Ministry of Education and the State Language Commission.
“Nowadays, more and more English abbreviations are being used in Chinese, making them an important part of the contemporary language,” said Hou Min, a professor at Communication University of China.
“The abbreviations have gained popularity because of the ease of usage,” Hou

said.
For example, DNA is much simpler to use than its Chinese version tuoyang hetang hesuan.
“As more Chinese people learn foreign languages, especially English, in recent years, using abbreviations has become a trend among educated people,” she said.
Some language scholars fear such usage will pollute the purity of Chinese and cause confusion in communication. 46. MSN is a kind of ________.
A. MP4 player B. instant messenger tool C. photography making tool D. video game software 47. The report on the Language Situation in China is ________.
A. compiled by the Ministry of Education alone B. sponsored by Sina C. compiled every two years D. compiled every year 48. Why does the author use the example of a couple who tried to name their baby “@”?
A. To show Chinese is badly polluted by English. B. To express the writer’s love for the child.
C. To indicate “@” is a very common sign among the email users. D. To show some parents are very enthusiastic over English letters. 49. Why are the English abbreviations becoming more and more popular? A. English is the most common language in the world. B. Using English abbreviation is a fashion. C. English abbreviation are good to pronounce. D. English abbreviations are easy and simple to use. 50. ________ is the best title.
A. English abbreviations become popular in China
B. Some Language Scholars Fear the English Abbreviations C. Language Situation in China
D. English Abbreviations May Cause Confusion in Communication
