19、alifornia, Ive been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as broken English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than broken, as if it were damaged and needed t

20、o be fixed, as if it lacked certain wholeness. Ive heard other terms used, limited English, for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including peoples perceptions(认识 ) of the limited English speaker. I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mothers limite

21、d English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department

22、stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her. I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I wont get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I gre

23、w up with: the English she used with me, which for a lack of a better term might be described as broken, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal (内在的 ) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to c

28、 not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment.

29、hen the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more. There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. Th

30、e customs may be different. The public service systemsthe telephones, post office, or transportationmay be difficult to work out. The simplest th ings seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult. Who feels culture shock Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most p

31、eople. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their own community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without any identity. They have to build a new self-image. Cul

32、ture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation （迷失方向 ） . This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does

33、 solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture.

39、on. Michael is imaginary, but his life style is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings. The world of business is one area in which technology is isolating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able

40、to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people theyre dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will

43、 rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now fewer people are going out to see a movie.
