14、 so hard to learn?第14頁(yè)/共119頁(yè)譯文譯文Digging7 First of all, learning thousands of characters is a chore, and theres nothing for it but to learn them by heart. Even using a dictionary has its own set of problems. For example, how do you look up the meaning of a character? Ive spent hours trying to match w

15、hat I think is the radical with the list in the middle of my Chinese-English dictionary, then hunting down the character matched with its pinyin (Roman alphabet) equivalent, then turning to the dictionary entry itself, and looking for the character and eliminating all those with wrong meanings until

16、 I find the right one. It takes a lot of patience, it can be very disappointing, and my disgraceful strike rate is scarcely 20 characters an hour.第15頁(yè)/共119頁(yè)譯文譯文Digging8 Language experts estimate that you “only” need to learn about 5,000 characters to have a working knowledge of Chinese. (I just love

17、 that “only”!) They also say its desirable to see and revise a character about seven times in different contexts in order to retain it and use it productively.9 So you do the maths.第16頁(yè)/共119頁(yè)譯文譯文Digging10 Learning Chinese is already tough, but learning with an unqualified teacher makes it even more

18、difficult. In our first lesson, we learnt our first Chinese character 家. Our teacher told us that Chinese people are able to see the original representation of meaning in the character. She drew it on the whiteboard. It means home. Good. She then explained that its meant to illustrate a pig under a

19、roof. Thats good too. Then she asked, “Can you see the pig?”11 No?第17頁(yè)/共119頁(yè)譯文譯文Digging12 “There it is, cant you see?” she enquired.13 I see no pig.14 “And can you see the roof?”15 Well, I suppose so, but only if I had lost my glasses or, possibly, was drunk. But to please my teacher I said, yes I c

20、an see the roof, just a bit of a blur, thats all.16 “Thats the pig under the roof. That means home!” said my teacher, in a voice celebrating the glory of Chinese.第18頁(yè)/共119頁(yè)Digging17 Have I finished with the bad news?18 Not yet. The tone system means that a single character can have different meaning

21、s according to the tone used to pronounce it. What are the odds I call my mother a horse? And its easy to misunderstand and be misunderstood, and even worse if you travel around the country, as the tones can vary from province to province. 第19頁(yè)/共119頁(yè)Digging19 So is there any good news?20 Well, I con

22、cede that grammar is easier to crack than most European languages. There are no verb tenses to manipulate, no singular and plurals, no relative clauses.

When I look back at my vocabulary notes, I see that some words can function as nouns and as verbs, and others such as guo, ba or le are

24、 called particles, but dont have an obvious function. They have meaning, and without them the meaning of the sentence is changed, but it seems strange to use a system invented to analyze European languages. Does this compound all the difficulties?第21頁(yè)/共119頁(yè)Digging22 Similarly, I begin to wonder how

25、Chinese can express complex concepts. Take one character and it has a denotational meaning, which you can usually find in a dictionary. Combine this character with another and you create a concept which is new and different. Combine them with more characters and you further develop this concept.第22頁(yè)

26、/共119頁(yè)Digging23 Is this so different from English? Well, yes, because by this time, you need to interpret the combination of characters to understand what it means. It doesnt mean the sum of its isolated, denotational meanings, but the sum of its connotational (or implicit) meanings!第23頁(yè)/共119頁(yè)Diggin

27、g24 But everyone who uses the language has to agree on the connotations of each of the characters, and if they dont, then surely theres a risk of being vague or of a lack of precision or faulty grammar. So how does Chinese express complex and precise concepts?第24頁(yè)/共119頁(yè)Digging25 What compensates for

28、 all the difficulties is that learning Chinese is like playing chess or doing the crossword. Its totally absorbing, and its not the right word, but how else can I say it? I enjoy myself. Its not just a gradual process of language acquisition, it inspires ongoing questions about the meaning of commun

29、ication and the power of language. Its a very beautiful, deeply inspiring, and thrilling challenge. I have to keep going, as the journey will fascinate me as much as the arrival at my destination.第25頁(yè)/共119頁(yè)Digging26 But how long will it take?27 Some statistics suggest that an educated English speake

30、r needs 1,300 hours to achieve a proficiency corresponding to an educated native speaker of Chinese, while it would only take about 480 hours to achieve a comparable level in French or Spanish. Others reckon that 1,300 hours isnt sufficient, and that its closer to 2,200 hours. 第26頁(yè)/共119頁(yè)Digging28 Th

57、先，學(xué)習(xí)幾千個(gè)漢字是件苦差事，只能用心去記，沒(méi)有其他方法。甚至查字典時(shí)也會(huì)碰到一堆問(wèn)題。比如，你如何查找一個(gè)漢字的意思？首先，我得確定這個(gè)字的偏旁部首，然后在漢英字典中間的部首表中找到匹配的偏旁，然后按其漢語(yǔ)拼音（羅馬字母）查找對(duì)應(yīng)的漢字，再進(jìn)入詞典的條目去查找那個(gè)漢字，通過(guò)排除所有意思不相符的漢字，我才能最終找到正確的那個(gè)字，而這已經(jīng)花了我?guī)讉€(gè)小時(shí)的時(shí)間。查字典需要極大的耐心，可能會(huì)令人非常沮喪。說(shuō)起來(lái)很丟人，我每小時(shí)只能勉強(qiáng)查20個(gè)漢字。TranslationTranslation原文原文第60頁(yè)/共119頁(yè)8 語(yǔ)言專家估計(jì)你“只要”掌握大約五千個(gè)漢字，就足以應(yīng)付工作需要了。（我太喜歡“只

59、在那兒，看不到嗎？”她問(wèn)道。13 我根本看不到豬。14 “那你們看到屋頂了嗎？”15 好吧，我想只有當(dāng)我丟了眼鏡或是喝醉了時(shí)才能看到。但為了讓老師滿意，我說(shuō)，是的，我能看到屋頂，只是有點(diǎn)兒模糊罷了。16“屋頂下有頭豬。意思就是家！”老師的聲音中滿含對(duì)漢語(yǔ)言文字的自豪感。TranslationTranslation原文原文第63頁(yè)/共119頁(yè)17 學(xué)習(xí)漢語(yǔ)的麻煩事兒就這些嗎？18 還不止這些。根據(jù)漢語(yǔ)的聲調(diào)體系，一個(gè)漢字根據(jù)其聲調(diào)的不同可以有不同的意思。那么，我把“媽”稱為“馬”的概率有多大？而且，這也很容易誤解別人和被別人誤解。如果你在中國(guó)各地旅行的話，情況會(huì)更糟糕，因?yàn)橥粋€(gè)漢字每個(gè)省的聲調(diào)
