Chinese and English are better or worse

Chinese will definitely be the strongest language in the worldMy generation of people, regardless of the old and young, regardless of class, the whole country up and down a heartfelt effort, the goal is not to be free of cavities, but - to attack the English language. This rapid trend, the big trend, so that today's Chinese people inevitably have such a stereotype: English is better than the Chinese language is no wonder that they are forced to study, promotion, employment, money-making pressure, full of ABC in the head, a moment of black and white can not distinguish, it is also understandable. However, the fact is that Chinese is the best language in the world, and it is also predictable that it will dominate the world of languages in the future. Don't believe me? Take a look at the following comparison of the numbers of Chinese and English languages 1) Comparison in terms of pronunciation. Mandarin has 21 consonants, 35 rhymes and 4 tones, the result of multiplication is 2,900 sounds, 2,500 of which can be utilized, and 1,200 of which are actually used in Mandarin, whereas English is different, in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), there are 20 vowels and 20 consonants in English. variety of sounds is 3 times more than English. What does this mean? It shows that Chinese thinks faster than English For an example: suppose there is a person who can pronounce only two sounds, specifically he can pronounce the sounds a and b. According to computer theory, we know that he can still express the whole world with these two symbols. Suppose, again, that there are only 400 things in the world to express, then an Englishman can express one of the 400 things with each of the sounds because he has 400 sounds, whereas a person who can make only two sounds would sometimes have to express one of the 400 things with 9 sounds because 2 to the 9th power is greater than 400. for example, the Englishman uses 'I' for 'me' whereas someone who can only make two sounds might have to use abbabababba for the concept 'I'. Comparing the two will show that the person who knows only two sounds is not only slow to express himself, but also struggles. When expressing the concept 'I', the British person uses 0.25 seconds, while the person who knows only two sounds uses 2.25 seconds. If two people always lived in this ratio for the rest of their lives, all the information they would enjoy in their lifetime would be its inverse ratio 9:1 We know that thinking is actually a process of saying something in the mind, and if one expresses it quickly when speaking, then the speed of thinking should follow. Let's compare the speed of reciting multiplication facts in English and Chinese. Chinese takes 30 seconds to do it, while English takes 45 seconds. Therefore, if two people recite in English and Chinese at the same time, when it comes to 30 seconds, the Chinese user must have thought of nine hundred and ninety-one, while the English user must not have reached here, perhaps, he thought of only seven hundred and seventy-nine This proves that the use of language with many kinds of pronunciation is faster than the use of language with fewer kinds of pronunciation. This point has been confirmed by many scholars at home and abroad, and the question of whether fast thinking means intelligence is recognized by many scholars.2) Comparison of Character FormsChinese is the only ideographic language in the world that doesn't use alphabets, and it is made up of individual characters, which are formed into words, and then into sentences. It is a three-dimensional language that can be associated and has a very broad thinking surface. Try to use a random word to form words, just use the word "laugh", it can be composed of: two words: laugh, laugh, smile, bitter smile, evil smile, silly smile, cold smile, stupid smile, sneer, laugh, laugh, funny, joke, joke, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, smile, smile, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, Laughing four words: smiling, laughing, smiling, laughing, laughing, smiling, smiling, smiling, smiling, smiling, smiling, laughing ...... As you can imagine, from the word "laugh" to form words, and then form a sentence, the result will be geometric. The result will be geometric. (Interested friends can try to use English to translate the above words to see what will become as ideograms of the Chinese language, due to the free combination of new terms and new concepts to new ideas, can accommodate the impact of the explosion of information and knowledge, will undoubtedly be developed as a human **** with the language, with this language to exchange ideas more convenient, more colorful. English, on the other hand, is made up of individual words, and that's how the millions of words in English came to be. In Shakespeare's time there were only 30,000 words in English, and he himself was able to master them all. Therefore, Shakespeare's proficiency in the use of English words was simply unattainable by later generations. But by Churchill's time, the English language already possessed nearly a million words. And by now, English is nearly five million words! Someone once asked many English medium and higher education language institutes online how many words should be mastered to learn English, and the answer was that an educated English speaker should master 50,000 to 250,000 words! Days! Can one memorize them all? By that standard, Shakespeare would have been illiterate, or at least uneducated. And all these words can be expressed in Chinese with 4,000 Chinese characters. The Chinese language's ability to break down the conjugated vocabulary of the English language is very useful in that it greatly reduces the number of words that need to be memorized; and not only that, but it also organizes the vocabulary in one's mind in a clear way. To summarize: the weakness of English is now beginning to show up. To give an example: a Chinese physics expert can read a chemistry expert's paper with his basic knowledge of chemistry from his secondary school days, and vice versa; whereas British and American experts in different industries would be talking to a cow to exchange their academic results! By virtue of this advantage, the Chinese language is qualified to become an Esperanto. We know that mankind is currently facing a knowledge explosion. English and other alphabetic scripts will inevitably be forced to create countless long and unrelated words, which will become difficult to master and use, and will eventually be abandoned. Chinese will eventually become the only language in the world! Be proud of our beautiful Chinese characters and our vast Chinese culture. Of course, for now, we still have to learn English, because everyone knows that the rules of the game are set by the strongest. In a few years, as China's economic power grows stronger and the Chinese language becomes more popular in the world, its strength and charm will be unstoppable.

The history of Chinese dates back dozens of centuries, and it is by far the most widely spoken language. Chinese characters are the only mainstream script that still retains traces of originality. The rich information content of the characters and the marvelous inclusion and transformation of the meanings of words and phrases are astonishing! As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the cultural connotations carried by the Chinese characters reached heights that are difficult to be surpassed by present-day people. Like Laozi, Mozi, Confucius, Sun Zi ------, the sages left behind the heirloom classics, the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign sages are still tirelessly researching and pondering.

Compared to the English language, there is nothing to be said about the glorious history of the people who have learned English know that those irregular changes in the English language are mostly the result of the role of "external forces". Those who are strong wedged into the "pegs", so that we learn English when adding a lot of difficulty, should be smooth, regular grammar rules have become lumpy, as a fun game, but with poor rules. Thinking back, when the Sunset Empire, the power to give English a dishonorable coat of splendor, "popular" under the world is tired of bones!

For historical reasons, English is still the main channel of information dissemination. For some people it is still a necessary tool. For the vast majority of Chinese, it is of little use.

The status of "English" in current education policy is questionable.

Those who laboriously learn "crap" that most people have no use for. Some people say, "What if I give you a piece of information in a foreign language that you can't understand? However, I ask a rhetorical question, how many people have the opportunity to read a foreign language? How many people have the need to read a foreign language? Foreign language is not a kind of English either!

Is a foreign language useful?

I remember when I was a child learning a foreign language, my teacher said: foreign language is a useful tool in life. I started learning foreign languages in fifth grade, which was relatively early at the time (62, Russian). To this day, I still vaguely remember a few words and sentences. In middle school we studied English, and at that time we were the only ones in the local middle school, and there were not many middle schools in the province that studied English.

After joining the work, most of my classmates returned the foreign language to the teacher, and I, into the scientific research unit, due to the need to work is still learning foreign languages, although not learn anything famous, but enough to cope with the work needs. With the help of dictionary, I could check the information, make the experimental program, and once I translated a French material. In addition, to the working class leadership of all the "identity" to participate in, "leadership" of scientific research work.

After graduating from college, I was assigned to work for a municipal enterprise. I'm not sure if I've ever had a problem with that, but I'm sure I've never had a problem with it.

Because of the need to promote the title, had to re-learn foreign languages. The English language requirement for the senior title exam is a vocabulary of 7,000 words! I'm not going to be able to do that! What to do? Surprise study of three months of Japanese, a pass through the national line! Oh, bypassing the vocabulary level. The Japanese test for vocational title is mainly "translation and comprehension", which is the reason for "passing".

A foreign language is a useful tool in life. I think it was a great man who said that. I can't remember the words. It was something like this. My work practice tells me that the foreign language I learned in junior high school, with a little improvement, will be able to cope with the needs of "scientific research work". For the vast majority of people, a foreign language is not an essential tool! Proficiency in a foreign language is a luxury! Luxury is waste !!!!

[English is the biggest foreign trash

English words are as numerous as the stars in the sky, which is the Achilles' heel of English! Even US President George Bush Jr. himself often gets his own native English wrong!

English is strangely slow to respond

Takes the same amount of time and effort. The amount of information available in Chinese is 3-10 times greater than in English. Nowadays, there are three to four million words in English, and you'd be lucky to know one percent of them when you die of old age. The British themselves couldn't understand English three hundred years ago. The Achilles' heel of English is that for new things, English can only create new words to name them, and as new things grow infinitely, English words can only grow infinitely passively, whereas the Chinese language does not

Chinese people can read and understand about 70% of what the ancients of China wrote 2,000 years ago, and that's something that English can't even begin to compare to

Chinese PhD students can graduate with a knowledge of 2,000 characters. The 2,000 Chinese characters in common use are more than enough to deal with all the new things that have come into being, and there's no need to create new characters to name new things, there's no need to be as stupid as the English language, and one of the other decisive advantages of Chinese is that there are nearly 1,900 phonemes in it, whereas there are no more than 400 phonemes in English, and that's why, in the course of speaking, the British have to use more syllables. The British have to use more syllables to express the same meaning as in Chinese, which is why English is half a beat slower than Chinese, which means that Chinese is one to three times faster than English

That's why the Chinese are smarter than the foreigners who speak pinyin

That's one of the fundamental reasons why Chinese are smarter than the Europeans and Americans!!!! Chinese language and culture have long since determined that Chinese culture is the most advanced culture in the world! Otherwise 5000 years of history of the long river eliminated the Chinese national culture a hundred times is more than enough! 5000 years of history has eloquently proved that the Chinese language and culture is the world's most powerful culture of vitality! It is a historical inevitability that Chinese culture will eliminate the western pinyin garbage culture! There is no doubt about it! If you learn English, it's a different story! By the time you die of old age, you won't even know one percent of the words in English

English majors who pass the four or six levels in a year are useless and suffer greatly from this, and I call on all students not to waste their time and energy on it, which will delay their professional studies!]

Our current English learning system is a huge waste of our not-so-rich social resources, and a waste of students' energy. It is a "cruel" destruction and a waste of luxury!

What we can see is that the current students and our traditional culture is drifting away, heavy learning tasks so that they do not have time to pay attention to the essence of Chinese culture, see the old generation of scholars of the profound writing skills, can only sigh!
