Trying to understand CIIE Nov 5, 2018

“进博会”是什么?

I was wondering what this new word meant: 进博会 After checking it up on the web, I found out that it stands for 中国国际进口博览会 China International Import Expo (CIIE).

Until this day, import and export 进出口 have always been mentioned together as a word. Some of my classmates were employed by the China Imp. & Exp. Corp. right after their graduation from college almost 40 years ago.

“进博会”是什么?

I was wondering what this new word meant: 进博会 After checking it up on the web, I found out that it stands for 中国国际进口博览会 China International Import Expo (CIIE).

Until this day, import and export 进出口 have always been mentioned together as a word. Some of my classmates were employed by the China Imp. & Exp. Corp. right after their graduation from college almost 40 years ago.

I have a feeling that this IMPORT Expo in Shanghai, the very first of its kind, is a new signal that China is looking to buy, as much as it wants to sell. Let's wish them good business and success to all sides and hope there'd be more jobs for translators.

Here is the Official logo and mascot of the CIIE:

进博会-标志和吉祥物大熊猫“进宝” CIIE logo and mascot © CIIE?

I have the following reflections:

一听中国要进口,各国马上来劲头。
这不,这帮子头头脑脑的全跑上海来了。

种咖啡的在想:
中国每人喝一口,我国八辈不用愁。

种橄榄的在想:
中国每人吃一滴,我教堂改榨橄榄油。

酿红酒的在想:
回去房顶也种葡萄,上上下下都做酒。

那些个物产有限的沙漠国家怎么办呢?
有了,叫他们来“杜拜十日豪华游!”

可凡想打开中国市场的人必须明白:中国人的口味其实是很高的,凡是能入口的东西马上就会被中国人鉴定出来其品质的优劣。待到葡萄酒充斥中国市场时,除非绝对好酒,大多喜欢喝酒的人可能会说:什么花里胡哨的洋酒这么贵,还不如来瓶二锅头。

路易·威登笑而不语,这帮子到现在才开始动中国市场的脑筋:我什么味道也没有,要灌醉的是中国人的心而非中国人的口。你们看我一路威风早登台,“想当精英必须有!要不你还不够风流。”

QHE,

我是随便问问不求答案,你还真的去查证。不过你查到的链接倒是蛮有意思的。
雇狗好像不够灵,还跟不上中国日新月异的新词。😁

首字缩写云雾里,阿狗阿猫都可以。
不看全文能猜中,算你理解好能力。
别看汉语平时松,简略成词反精辟。

首字缩写云雾里,阿狗阿猫都可以。

英文短名无禁忌,中文取名求吉利。

我想上述大约是中英文缩略成词时比教明显的区别。

中文缩略尽管具体不详,至少有几分苗头。就拿“进博会”来说,我初看时也觉得可能是个什么博士团体或论坛。反正跟“进”和“进步”有关。看到全名之后才知道是“只进不出”的意思。可还是比英文强多了。

光看这个英文缩略 CIIE,谁知道它代表什么,甚至是有关那一方面都不知道,根本无从下手。所以说,英文中用缩略时必须有注明,至少文章开头注一次。DIY之类的词不加注,那是已经约定成俗的东西了。

同样是缩略语,中式和西式缩略词在其成形和使用寿命方面似有所不同。在我看来,中文缩略词至少有两个显著特点:

1)冠以数字的缩略语特别多(因为它们特别有效)。
2)中文缩略语的生成和流行像风水一样轮流转。

e.g. 从“三从四德” 、“四书五经”起到“三民主义”这两千年期间不知有多少个轮回。一下子成了“一穷二白”,就“三反五反”重头来过。果然“百花齐放”,可才放了几年功夫,要“四清”了;接下去重新“一打三反、破四旧”等,老毛的时代特别多。老毛走了,可数字缩略语传统仍然流行,时有新招:“两个凡是”、“三个代表”、“四项基本原则”......然后咱出国了,以后的就不太清楚了,直到“一带一路”。这个词给我的第一印象就是又一轮新的时代开始了。

“进宝”,我倒觉得它很贴切。只要是宝,照进不误,管它是哪儿来的。可在四五十年前,“招财进宝”这样的词是要受批判的,万万不可大张旗鼓地宣传。现在用它来形容当今如日中天的商业世界很形象。比较一下,这个“进宝”活动其实就是跟五十年前“广交会” Canton Export Commodities Fair 差不多。当时需要“广交”天下朋友,结果顺利地重新进入联合国。现在需要“进宝”,说明国人真的发了。好事!

谢谢!今年10月上旬,我们还上 New England 游览了一星期。那一段大多是阴天,不过我们玩得还是很开心。回想当年在 New Hampshire 居住的时候,也不知在忙些什么,居然连两小时以外的 Vermont 都没去过。这次补了课,但还是觉得没玩够。你可得珍惜啊!
