听力原文: Should Foreign Abbreviations Be Banned on TV?
Recently, CCTV banned the use of borrowed English abbreviations such as NBA, WTO and CPI in all its programs. Some people applaud the move, maintaining that it helps preserve the purity of the Chinese language. The media is deeply engaged in the ongoing Westernization of Chinese language. If the phenomenon is not stopped, Chinese will be gradually reduced from an independent expression system to a mixture of languages.
Others, however, shake their heads. It is not persuasive, they say, that the media shy away from foreign abbreviations to preserve the purity of the Chinese language and culture. After all, languages' integration is a very complicated process and it's irrational to impose a simple ban on certain words. Besides, the use of foreign abbreviations won't shake the status of Chinese as an embodiment of and the basis of the 5,000-year-old Chinese culture.
As far as I am concerned, there is no need to ban the use of foreign abbreviations on TV. A language is great, not because of its purity, but because of its tolerance to other languages. Chinese is so rich and beautiful because it constantly absorbs words, abbreviations and phrases from other languages. It's totally unnecessary to fear about the disappearance of Chinese if we allow English to mix with Chinese.
