【正文】 u know it is far from elegant (優(yōu)雅的 ) English? In fact, foreigners from Englishspeaking countries rarely use the letters. Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps. “WC, or water closet, is old fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Charlie Shifflet, a young man from the US. The old sign will bee “Gents/Men” and “Ladies/Women”. “I see lots of poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs,” he says. “I know what they mean. But they are Chinglish, not real Engl ish. For example, when someone says to me ‘My hometown is Henan Province’, I know he should say: ‘My hometown is in Henan Province’. ‘Hometown’ is a smaller place in a province.” The mon mistakes he picked up include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Ent ry”, “Direction of Airport” should be changed to “To the Airport”. And it is “room rate”, not “room price”. And remember to “Keep off the grass”, rather than “Care of the green”. ( )26. What does the writer think of the use of “WC”? A.

In the English language, there are many expressions using the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice. Sometimes, people say something to a friend or a family member. Later they regret because it hurts that person’s feelings. Or they tell the p erson something they didn’t mean to tell. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend is going to say. When this happens, the friend might say: “You too k the words right out of my mouth!” Sometimes a person has a bad or sad experience with another person. He might say that experience “l(fā)eft a bad taste in my mouth.” Or the person possibly has a very frightening (可怕的 ) experience, like having an angry dog running after him. He might say: “I had my heart in my mouth.” Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. You might say the person “was born with a silver spoon (銀勺 ) in his mouth”.
