问题     Along with the widespread use of the Internet comes the cyber language, which arouses a bitter controversy. Experts denounce that cyber language is diluting the quality of Chinese language. Internet users, however, think that language is evolving all the time and rigid standards should not be enforced in the daily use of language. What is your view on this? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.
选项
答案                 Don’t Say "No" to Cyber Language
    Do you happen to know the meaning of "3 Q" (which means"thankyou")? How about "shen ma" (literally "god-horse")? If not, you are considered outdated and outside the communication circle. The popularity of cyber language, however, is not welcomed by the linguistic authorities, who vow to protect the purity of Chinese language. In my opinion, cyber language is not destroying the integrity of Chinese language, but spicing up the way people communicate with each other.
    For one thing, cyber language entails vivid expressions which are more approachable. Young people are usually fed up with the frozen textbook language. It is not attractive or vivid, contributing little to the closer tiers of people in conversation. On the contrary, cyber language opens doors for strangers and helps its users to establish a bond. It is catchy, trendy and above all lively. Moreover, cyber language has its uniquely a-musing way to release the pent-up emotion in the society. There was a time when commodity price was soaring, thus Internet users coined a satirical expression "suan ni hen" which means "Fine, you got me! " In Chinese, "suan" is also the pronunciation of the word "garlic", so people subsequently adopt this expression to mock the unaffordable garlic. In this regard, it is fair to say that cyber language is a worthy vehicle, through which public emotion could be shared and felt instantaneously and vividly.
    For another thing, it is understandable that experts worry cyber language might threaten the standard language. But language itself is just a tool for communication. Since cyber language can be widely understood by most people, there is no reason to get rid of it. Besides, no expert is authoritative enough to serve as a language judge. The only possible one is the common people who are using it. If one expression is accepted by the majority of people for a long time, the phrase will settle down as one item in the nation’s linguistic system. If not, it will come and go. According to a survey conducted in Shanghai, three fourths of university students are using cyber language at some point. Given a large population of cyber language consumers, we should not demonize cyber language. A better option would be to recognize it and guide it into proper use by explaining the differences between cyber language and standard language.
    In short, we should be more tolerant with cyber language, because it offers a colorful alternative to the standard language. Accepting the diversities and dynamics of language is more important than denying the fresh expressions.
