快捷英语 英语时文阅读理解 七年级㉚
Tuesday/Week 2
ave you seen T-shirts with foreign words?
A few French words? Some Chinese writing? In Japan, it's common to buy things with English words. Many companies use English in ads and designs. They want to make products look cool. But here's the funny part: most of these words don't really make much sense!
The Japanese call this "Engrish".
What is "Engrish"? It is a new form of English made by the Japanese. It's the wrong English shown on Japanese products and in ads. Japanese people use it more for written English than spoken English. For example, you can find "Engrish" on signs, menus, game instructions (说明), and even T-shirts.
Why is it called "Engrish"? Because Japanese people can't say "R" and "L" clearly. For example, they may say "lice" instead of "rice"; and they may say "rike" instead of "like".
There are basically two kinds of "Engrish". One is the instructions that are spelled wrong or that have grammar mistakes often found in video games. The other is strange word mixes often found in ads or on T-shirts. Most of them come from bad Japanese-to-English translations.
So, next time you see strange English words on a Japanese product, it might be the "Engrish"!

答案

本文介绍了日本人在使用英语时的“Engrish”现象。很多日本公司在他们的广告、设计，甚至产品中，在将日文翻译成英文时，出现了像拼写错误、奇怪的词汇组合等问题。
1. A 细节理解题。由第一段第五、六句可知，日本公司在广告和设计中使用英文是为使产品看起来很酷。
2. D 细节理解题。由第二段第三句可知，“Engrish”指日本产品和广告中出现的错误英语。
3. A 行文方式题。通读全文可知，本文在第二段向我们解释了什么是“Engrish”，在第三段中向我们解释了为什么它被称为“Engrish”。由第二段最后一句中的For example和第三段最后一句中的For example可知，作者使用了举例子的方式向我们解释了“Engrish”。
4. B 推理判断题。由第四段第一至三句可知，“Engrish”基本上有两种：一种是常在电子游戏中出现的有拼写错误或语法错误的说明；另一种是常见于广告或T恤上的奇怪的词汇组合。由此可推知，图②属于“Engrish”中由于R和L不分而造成的拼写错误；图③属于“Engrish”中常见于T恤上的不符合逻辑的奇怪的词汇组合；图④属于常见于电子游戏说明中的语法错误。另外，图①为“Chinglish”，由图示可知，本标识要表示“小心地滑”，应为Be careful of the slippery ground。
5. D 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了日本人在使用英语时出现的“Engrish”现象。由此可推知，Engrish: Funny English in Japan适合作标题。
