中式英语之鉴PartOne(2)

人生不过三万天

Summary of the Content: There are five main types of unnecessary modifiers in Chinglish: 1. Redundant modifiers: usually a semantic repetition between words
2.Self-evident modifiers: not strictly redundant with another word but still superfluous because they provide can be taken for granted
3.Intensifiers: adjectives and adverbs that are intended to highten the effect of the word we modify
4.Qualifiers: adverbs designed not to intensify the force of a statement but to lessen it
5.Cliche: adjectives and adverbs that are overworked


Evaluation: The chapter is logically tight, the language is easy to understand, under each type are categorized common types of chinglish, and in the last two types cited a large number of famous scholars and experts in the recommendations, so as to make the article more persuasive. In the last part of the chapter, the five types are summarized and twenty examples are given, which is more conducive to our understanding.
Reflection: The content of this chapter is quite rewarding for me, for me personally, the more difficult is Intensifiers, because it seems as if important and vital both mean “important” in my memory, there is not much difference, and in the author's discussion, vital is more “important” than important, which requires me to accumulate more in daily life, and clear synonymsbetweenbetweenThe difference between the synonymsThe difference between the synonyms. The last two types are more unfamiliar and require more time to understand.
