There is one foreign product the Japanese are buying faster than others and its popularity has caused an uneasy feeling among many Japanese.
That product is foreign words. Gairaigo — words that come from outside — have been part of the Japanese language for centuries. Mostly borrowed from English and Chinese, these terms are often changed into forms no longer understood by native speakers.
But in the last few years the trickle of foreign words has become a flood, and people fear the increasing use of foreign words is making it hard for the Japanese to understand each other and could lead to many people forgetting the good qualities of traditional Japanese.
"The popularity of foreign words is part of the Japanese interest in anything new," says university lecturer and writer Takashi Saito. "By using a foreign word you can make a subject seem new, which makes it easier for the media to pick up."
"Experts often study abroad and use English terms when they speak with people in their own fields. Those terms are then included in government white papers," said Muturo Kai, president of the National Language Research Institute. "Foreign words find their way easily into announcements made to the general public, when they should really be explained in Japanese."
Against the flow of new words, many Japanese are turning back to the study of their own language. Saito’s Japanese to Be Read Aloud is one of the many language books that are now flying off booksellers’ shelves.
"We are expecting to sell the books to young people," said the writer, "but it turns out they are more popular with the older generation, who seem uneasy about the future of the Japanese."
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What advantages do foreign words have over traditional Japanese terms?
27. What do Takashi Saito say about Japanese people?
28. Which plays an important part in the spread of foreign words?
29. What do we know about the book Japanese to Be Read Aloud?
选项
A、Foreign words are best suited for announcements.
B、The ideas expressed in foreign words sound new.
C、Foreign words make new subjects easier to understand.
D、The use of foreign words makes the media more popular.
答案
B
解析
选项中的Foreign words,suited for announcements,make new subject easier等表明,本题可能与外来词的优点有关。由短文中提到的By using a foreign word you can make a subject seem new...可知,用外来词表达的想法是很新颖的,故答案为[B]。
