zuì jìn最近,yǒu有yī wèi一位bó zhǔ博主ná拿zhe着jǐ kuài几块shǒu xiě手写pái牌zǒu走shàng上jiē tóu街头。

Recently, a blogger took several handwritten signs out onto the street.

pái zi牌子shàng上méi yǒu没有gǎo xiào搞笑de的jù zi句子,zhǐ yǒu只有yī xiē一些hàn zì汉字běn lái本来de的yì si意思。

There were no funny sentences on the signs, only the original meanings of some Chinese characters.

zhè ge这个xiǎo xiǎo小小de的xíng dòng行动,hěn kuài很快zài在wǎng shàng网上yǐn qǐ引起le了hěn duō很多rén人de的tǎo lùn讨论。

This small action quickly sparked a lot of discussion online.

wèi shén me为什么yào要zhè yàng这样zuò做ne呢?

Why did the blogger do this?

yīn wèi因为xiàn zài现在de的wǎng luò网络shàng上,yǒu有hěn duō很多bù hǎo不好de的liú xíng yǔ流行语。

Because there are many bad internet catchphrases online today.

yī xiē一些yuán běn原本hěn很měi hǎo美好de的hàn zì汉字hé和shī cí诗词,bèi被gǎi chéng改成le了qí guài奇怪shèn zhì甚至bù不lǐ mào礼貌de的yì si意思。

Some Chinese characters and poems that were originally beautiful have been changed into strange or even rude meanings.

bǐ rú比如,zhōng guó中国yǒu有yī jù一句zhù míng著名de的gǔ shī古诗“tíng chē zuò ài fēng lín wǎn停车坐爱枫林晚”,yì si意思shì是“tíng xià停下chē车shì是yīn wèi因为xǐ huān喜欢měi lì美丽de的fēng lín枫林”。

For example, there is a famous ancient Chinese poem: “停车坐爱枫林晚.” It means, “I stop the carriage because I love the beautiful maple forest.”

dàn shì但是,xiàn zài现在wǎng shàng网上yǒu xiē有些rén人gù yì故意lì yòng利用tā它de的fā yīn发音,bǎ把tā它biàn chéng变成le了dī sú低俗de的wán xiào玩笑。

But now, some people online deliberately use its pronunciation to turn it into a vulgar joke.

lìng wài另外,hái yǒu还有rén人yīn wèi因为“fǎ法”zì字de的fā yīn发音hé和yīng yǔ英语lǐ里de的cū huà粗话xiāng sì相似,jiù就bǎ把tā它dàng chéng当成mà rén骂人de的cí词。

In addition, because the pronunciation of the character “法” sounds similar to an English swear word, some people use it as an insult.

qí shí其实,“fǎ法”dài biǎo代表de的shì是fǎ lǜ法律hé和guī jǔ规矩,shì是fēi cháng非常yán sù严肃de的zì字。

In fact, “法” represents laws and rules. It is a very serious character.

zhè yàng这样de的biàn huà变化,gěi给wǒ men我们de的shēng huó生活dài lái带来le了bù hǎo不好de的yǐng xiǎng影响。

These changes have had a negative effect on our lives.

hěn duō很多xiǎo hái zi小孩子gāng刚xué huì学会rèn zì认字,hái还méi yǒu没有tǐ huì体会dào到zhōng guó中国wén huà文化de的měi美,jiù就xiān先cóng从shǒu jī手机lǐ里xué dào学到le了zhè xiē这些zāo gāo糟糕de的wán xiào玩笑。

Many children have just learned to recognize characters. Before they can appreciate the beauty of Chinese culture, they learn these terrible jokes from their phones.

dà jiā大家zài在shēng huó生活zhōng中xiǎng想biǎo dá表达měi hǎo美好de的zhù yuàn祝愿shí时,yǒu shí有时yě也huì会dān xīn担心bié rén别人wù huì误会。

When people want to express good wishes in daily life, they sometimes worry that others will misunderstand them.

yīn wèi因为zhè xiē这些wǎng luò网络cí yǔ词语,rén men人们màn màn慢慢biàn dé变得bù不zhī dào知道gāi该zěn me怎么hǎo hǎo好好shuō huà说话le了。

Because of these internet expressions, people are gradually forgetting how to speak properly.

zhè wèi这位bó zhǔ博主jué de觉得,rú guǒ如果yí gè一个hǎo好cí词bèi被nòng zāng弄脏le了,wǒ men我们bù不yīng gāi应该hài pà害怕qù去yòng用tā它,ér shì而是yīng gāi应该bǎ把tā它“xǐ gān jìng洗干净”,dà dà fāng fāng大大方方dì地gào sù告诉dà jiā大家tā它zhēn zhèng真正de的yì si意思。

This blogger believes that if a good word has been made dirty, we should not be afraid to use it. Instead, we should “clean it up” and openly tell everyone its true meaning.

yǔ yán语言shì是wén huà文化de的yī bù fèn一部分。

Language is part of culture.

hěn duō很多rén人zài在wǎng shàng网上liú yán留言,biǎo shì表示fēi cháng非常zhī chí支持zhè ge这个xíng dòng行动。

Many people left comments online to show strong support for this action.

jù jué拒绝nà xiē那些è yì恶意de的wán xiào玩笑,duō yòng多用hàn zì汉字zhēn zhèng真正de的yì si意思,qí shí其实yě也shì是ràng让wǒ men我们zhǎo huí找回hǎo hǎo好好shuō huà说话de的néng lì能力。

Rejecting malicious jokes and using the true meanings of Chinese characters can also help us regain the ability to speak properly.
