A
Language
and
communication
issues
may
be
the
grea-test
wall
for
breaking
into
the
Chinese
market.
The
ability
to
speak
and
understand
Chinese
is
necessary
to
business
success.
But
in
addition
to
having
an
ability
to
translate
English
into
Chinese,
the
ability
to
translate
Chinese
into
English
is
also
priceless.
It
can
help
improve
advertising
and
marketing
efforts
and
assist
in
business
-to-business
efforts.
The
Chinese
economy
is
red
hot.
It
has
been
growing
by
10
percent
per
year
since
the
1980s
and
continues
to
develop
into
the
new
time.
But
what
many
American
companies
have
learned
is
that
you
have
to
speak
Chinese
in
order
to
get
into
the
Chinese
marketplace.
There
are
other
barriers
of
course,
as
in
any
emerging
economy,
but
the
basics
of
being
able
to
speak
Chinese
or
at
least
having
marketing
information
translated
into
Chinese
are
a
big
difficulty
to
overcome.
The
other
barriers
may
fall
once
you
have
the
ability
to
translate
English
into
Chinese,
but
unless
you
do,
it
will
remain
a
major
barrier
to
your
business
success
in
China.
Other
barriers
to
successful
investment
and
marketing
in
the
Chinese
economy
are
also
tied
to
the
ability
to
translate
English
into
Chinese.
They
include
any
advertising
of
goods
and
services
to
the
Chinese
market
as
well
as
marketing
initiatives
to
the
Chinese
business
-to-business
marketplace.
Another
ability
issue
involving
language
is
that
someone
in
the
organization
will
also
have
to
be
able
to
read,
understand
and
translate
Chinese
information
and
materials
into
English
It
is
not
easy
to
break
into
the
Chinese
market
without
good
English-to-Chinese
translation
and
Chinese-
to-English
translation
services,
but
if
you
get
the
language
and
two-way
communication
matter
right,
your
chances
of
success
in
the
hottest
market
on
earth
will
become
much
better.

very
good
English
in
China

translate
Chinese
into
English

improve
advertising

Chinese
3.
It
will

more
about
Chinese
language
and
culture
B.
can
Improve
advertising
and
marketing
efforts
C
get
Chinese
and
two-way

right
D
have
a
good
Chinese-to-
English
translation
service
4.
Which
would
be
the
best
title
of
the
passage
A.
Master
Chinese
to
enter
the
Chinese
market
B.
English-to-Chinese
translation
is
valuable
C.
What
disappoints
American
companies
D.
China
is
the
hottest
market
in
the
world
B
Wouldn't
it
be
wonderful
to
travel
to
a
foreign
country
without
having
to
worry
about
the
headache
of
communicate-ting
in
a
different
language
In
a
recent
Wall
Street
Journal
article,
technology
policy
expert
Alec
Ross
argued
that,
within
a
decade
or
so
we
would
be
able
to
communicate
with
one
another
via
small
earpieces
with
built-in
microphones.
That's
because
technological
progress
is
extremely
rapid.
It's
only
a
matter
time.
Indeed,
some
parents
are
so
convinced
that
this
technology
is
imminent
that
they're
wondering
if
their
kids
should
learn
a
second
language.
It’s
true
that
an
increase
in
the
quantity
and
accuracy
of
the
data
loaded
into
computers
will
make
them
cleverer
at
translating
“
Noes
Bueno
dormer
mucho”
into
“It's
not
good
to
sleep
too
much".
Replacing
a
word
with
its
equivalent(对等词)
in
the
target
language
is
actually
the
easy
part
of
a
translator's
job.
But
even
this
seems
to
be
a
discouraging
task
for
computers.
It's
so
difficult
for
computers
because
translation
doesn’t
-or
shouldn't-involve
simply
translating
words
sentences
or
paragraphs.
Rather,
it's
about
translating
meaning.
And
In
order
to
infer
meaning
from
a
specific
expression,
humans
have
to
interpret
a
mass
of
information
at
the
same
time.
Think
about
all
the
related
clues
that
go
into
understanding
an
expression：volume，gesture，situation，and
even
your
culture．All
are
likely
to
convey
as
much
meaning
as
the
words
you
use．
Therefore，we
should
be
very
skeptical
of
a
machine
that
is
unable
to
interpret
the
world
around
us．If
people
from
different
cultures
can
offend
each
other
without
realizing
it，how
can
we
expect
a
machine
to
do
better？Unless
engineers
actually
find
a
way
to
breathe
a
soul
into
a
computer，undoubtedly
when
it
comes
to
conveying
and
interpreting
meaning
using
a
natural
language，a
machine
will
never
fully
take
our
place．
5．Why
is
it
hard
for
computers
to
replace
a
word
with
its
equivalent？
A．Their
data
is
not
adequate
enough．
B.
The
real
meaning
of
words
can
vary．
C．Their
accuracy
needs
big
improvement．
D.
A
soul
hasn't
been
breathed
in
them．
6．What
view
does
the
author
hold
about
translation？A
A．Proper
translation
can
be
tough
for
humans．
B．Slight
distinctions
matter
little
in
translation．
C．Some
machines
will
interpret
our
world
properly．
D.
Cultures
deserve
more
attention
than
words
used．
7．What
is
the
best
title
for
the
text？
A．An
Expert's
Precise
Prediction
B．The
Complexity
of
Translation
C.
Who
Will
Be
a
Better
Translator
D．Will
Language
Barrier
Actually
Fall
C
Many
people
have
excuses
for
not
learning
a
foreign
language.
One
of
common
ones
is
that
they
don'
t
have
a
for
learning
a
certain
skill
is
a
tragedy
in
itself,
and
this
common
excuse
has
possibly
discouraged
millions
of
people
from
accomplishing
great
things.
Many
experts
and
scholars,
such
as
K.
Ander
Ericsson,
one
of
the
world's
leading
theoretical(理论的)
and
experimental
researchers,
have
proposed
the
theory
that
skill
is
mostly
a
matter
of
large
amounts
of
deliberate
practice.
Books
such
as
The
Talent
Code
have
helped
popularize
it.
While
I
do
not
personally
believe
that
we
all
learn
at
the
same
pace
or
that
we
are
all
born
the
same,
I
certainly
believe
that
we
can
all
achieve
amazing
results
beyond
our
imagination,
simply
through
motivation
and
hard
work.
To
be
specific,
anything
can
be
learned
unless
of
course,
you
start
with
the
belief
that
you
are
not
talented
The
truth
is
that
if
you
think
you
are
not
talented
in
languages,
it
probably
has
something
to
do
with
your
track
record
in
language
classes
at
school.
T
his
isn't
surprising
because
the
curriculum
of
language
classes
is
made
so
that
it
teaches
languages
in
one
way,
whereas
we
all
learn
differently.
It
might
be
good
at
this
point
to
mention
that
doing
interesting
stuff
does
significantly
help
with
the
acquisition(
获得)
of
a
foreign
language.
For
most
of
us,
this
excludes(排除)
grammar
and
drills
to
a
large
extent.
In
my
interview
with
polyglot-speaking
or
using
many
languages
and
author
Susanna
Zaraysky,
Susanna
said
that
her
teacher
in
high
school
once
told
her
that
she
should
probably
look
for
another
subject
to
focus
her
efforts
on
instead
of
languages.
Susanna
now
speaks
nine
languages,
has
written
a
book
entitled
Language
is
Music
and
has
traveled
to
exciting
places
all
over
the
world
Benny
Lewis,
probably
one
of
the
best
known
language
learners
and
bloggers
on
the
Internet,
has
a
strikingly
similar
story,
and
he
now
speaks
over
12
languages.
Not
"talented”,
eh

is
the
excuse
for
language
learning
mentioned
in

have
no
genius
for
learning
language.
C.
I'm

languages.

Which
of
the
following
statements
might
the
author
probably
agree
with
A.
Language
classes
aren't
suitable
for
everyone
B.
Schools
usually
try
to
make
language
classes
interesting.
C.
Grammar
and
drills
are
the
least
important
in

learning.
D.
The
talent

idea
in
the

Experts
say
there
are
about
6,
500
languages
spoken
throughout
the
world.
But
the
United
Nations
guesses
that
about
half
of
these
languages
are
in
danger
of
disappearing.
One
organization
seeking
to
save
world
languages
is
Wikitongues,
It
has
a
simple
goal:
to
provide
the
tools
and
support
that
people
need
to
save
their
languages,
When
a
language
disappears,
many
other
things
can
go
away
as
well.
For
example,
parts
of
a
community's(社区的)
culture.
knowledge
and
identity
can
also
be
lost.
Because
of
this,
Udell,
co-
founder
of
Wikitongues
believes
the
process
of
bringing
languages
back
must
be
done
by
community
members
themselves,
He
said,
“
There
is
no
way
an
outside
organization
can
save
someone
s
language
for
them.”
Wikitongues
was
started
in
2016
as
an
open
Internet
collection
of
world
languages.
The
self-described
"community"
is
operated
by
volunteers
from
around
the
world.
The
collection
is
in
the
form
of
language
videos
that
people
speaking
the
languages
add
to
the
Wikitongues
website.
Udell
says
saving
languages
does
count.
There
are
many
examples
of
languages
that
disappeared
but
later
returned
to
use.“Hebrew
went
extinct(灭绝的)
in
the4th
century
BCE,
and
was
revived(复兴)
in
the
1800s.
Now
once
again,
it's
the
mother
tongue
of
half
of
the
world's
Jewish
population.
"Another
example
is
a
Native
American
tribe.
The
tribe’s
language
went
extinct
in
the
1940s.
Butthe
tribe
was
able
to
successfully
build
up
a
"language

recent
years
One
of
Wikitongues'
volunteers
is
Theron
Kolokwe.
who
lives
in
Namibia.
His
native
language
is
Subiya
which
is
spoken
by
about
30,
000
people.
"I
want
the
world
to
know
about
my
language,
"
Kolokwe
said.
But
his
goal
goes
beyond
just
sharing
his
to
language
with
others
through
video.
He
is
also
working
to
create
a
dictionary
and
language
teaching
materials
that
can
be
used
in
school
12.
What
does
Udell
consider
important
in
saving
languages
A.
Gathering
language
information.
B.
Relying
on
the
language
speakers.
C.
Setting
up
an
outside
organization.
D.
Combining
languages
with

13.
How
does
Wikitongues
help
save
languages
A.
By
getting
language
videos
from

B.
By
building
an
online
dictionary
for

C.
By

By
requiring

Learning
a
new
language
can
be
tricky
at
any
age.
But
in
a
recent
study,
scientists
have
pinpointed
the
exact
age
at
which
your
chances
of
reaching
fluency
in
a
new
language
seem
to
quickly
drop
off:

you're
older

10
No!

that
it's
"nearly
impossible”
to
reach
fluency
if
you
start
learning
a
language
alter
10.
That's
not
because
language
skills
start
to
go
downhill.
“You
re
still

fast,
"says
Joshua
Hartshorne,
one
of
the
study's
coauthors.
“It's
just
that
you
run
out
of
time,
because
your
ability
to
learn
starts
dropping
at
around
17
or
18
years
old.
"People
who
start
learning
a
new

after
age

may
still
become
quite
good,
the
authors
say.

Kids
may
be
better
than
adults
at
learning
new

for
many
reasons.
Children's

are
more

"All
learning
involves
the
brain
changing,"
Hartshorne
says.
"Children’s

seem
to
be
a

more
good
at
changing.”
Kids
may
also
be
more
willing
than
adults
to
try
new
things.
And
while
adults
tend
to
fall
back
on
the

To

I
worked
from
the
time
when
I
was
four
and
raised
seven
children,
all
of
them
college
graduates.
It
seemed
I'd
done
everything
Id
ever
wanted
to
do
in
my
life,
but
I
had
one
regret.
I
was
born
in
1898,
the
oldest
of
five
kids.
Papa
couldn’t
spare
me
to
go
to
school,
so
I
worked
in
the
fields
with
him
till
I
was
21
years
old.
Everywhere
I
went,
I
learned
some
hard
lessons
about
what
happens
to
a
man
who
even
can't
read
the
alphabet.
People
cheat
you
out
of
wages.
They
sell
you
a
ticket
to
one
city,
take
your
money
and
hand
you
a
ticket
to
somewhere
else.
By
1928,
I'd
been
wandering
for
nine
years.
I
met
a
woman
named
Elzenia.
We
fell
in
love,
married
and
moved
to
Dallas,
where
I
got
work
fixing
roads
for
the
city.
When
Amelia,
the
oldest
of
our
seven
children
first
went
to
school,
I
took
my
wife
aside.“
Elzena,”
I
said.“
I
don’t
want
the
kids
to
know
I
can't
read
or
write.”
In
1938,
one
day
my
boss
called
me
in.
"George,”
he
said.
“No
one
knows
those
machines
like
you
do.
I'd
like
to
promote
you.
”
But
my
thrill
and
surprise
were
cut
short
when
he
said,
"Fill
out
this
application
and
we'll
get
you
a
raise."
I
couldn't
admit
the
truth.
I
thanked
him
and
walked
out
of
his
office.
I
did
stay
right
where
I
was,
until
I
turned
65
and
my
boss
made
me
retire.
But
I
didn’
t
stop
working.
For
the
next
25
years,
I
lived
a
happy
life,
but
it
still
seemed
to
me
like
something
was
missing.
A
young
fellow
handed
me
a
piece
of
paper.
It's
information
about
adult
education
classes.
People
can
learn
to
read
and
write.
Now
I'm
98.
I
thought
of
my
friends
and
neighbours
and
what
they
might
think
if
they
found
out
couldn't
read.
After
all
these
years,
my
secret
would
be
out.
But
all
my
life
I've
wanted
to
read.
It
was
high
time
for
action

One
possible
version:
Dear
Chris,
I'm
more
than
happy
that
you're
coming
to
China
for
your
further
study!
You
will
surely
learn
a
lot
about
China
and
its
culture
in
the
following
few
years.
Both
Beijing
and
Guangzhou
are
good
places
to
study
in,
but
I
strongly
recommend
that
you
come
to
Beijing,
which
has
so
many
famous
universities
for
you
to
apply
to.
Besides,
it
offers
a
better
environment
for
learning
Chinese
since
most
people
here
speak
standard
Mandarin.
Since
I
ve
decided
to
study
in
Beijing
so
I
believe
we
can
meet
frequently
if
you
study
there,
too.
Wouldn
t
that
be
amazing.
Hopefully
these
can
help
you
make
your
final
decision.
Looking
forward
to
meeting
you
here
in
China
Yours,
Li
Hua
One
possible
version:
Paragraph
1
The
young
man
drove
me
to
a
huge
building
and
led
me
into
a
spacious
classroom,
which
was
crowded
with
elderly
people
like
me.
Through
chatting,
I
learned
that
they
had
all
been
longing
to
read
and
write
but
never
had
the
chance
to
go
to
school.
As
the
bell
rang,
in
came
the
teacher,
a
woman
well
past
forty.
After
a
warm
and
brief
greeting,
we
started
our
lesson.
First
we
learned
to
read
the
alphabet
and
though
I
made
mistakes
at
times,
no
one
laughed
at
me.
Everyone
helped
each
other
with
open-hearted
enjoyment.
Paragraph
2
I'm
still
going
to
school.
Though
faced
with
the
most
challenging
event
of
my
life,
I'm
full
of
courage
and
confidence.
With
the
generous
help
of
my
teacher,
friends
and
my
children.
I
have
made
huge
progress
in
study.
Now
I'm
never
shy
about
admitting
the
truth
that
once
I
was
not
able
to
read
and
write
at
all.
Besides,
I'
m
eager
to
encourage
more
elderly
people
to
attend
the
adult
education
classes,
because
it
s
never
too
late
to
learn.
