Slang(俚语) is one of those things that everybody can recognize and nobody can define(下定义). Not only is it hard to wrap slang in a definition, it is also hard to distinguish (区别)it from such similar things as colloquialism (口语) , provincialism (方言) , jargon (行话) or trade talk (行业话).
Usually, slang tends to be transient (短暂的). Thus their children often laugh at parents when this older generation uses slang which was considered to be the height of fashion in their own youth. Of course, the slang teenage children use today is very different from that of their parents. Indeed it might ever be some obscure (晦涩的) foreign language as far as the older generation is concerned for it is totally beyond their understanding.
It is often said that a slang term stops to be slang when it is "accepted by the dictionary". This is not really the ease. You will find many slang terms listed in dictionaries are still slang terms. The term stops to be slang when it drives (派生) its respectable synonym (同义词)out of use, or when it gets a meaning that cannot be expressed otherwise.
Such things have happened. The term "hot dog" was once a slang term, but it couldn’t be considered so now. No one in America would go up to a counter and order "a sausage sandwich". Similarly "vanity", originally a slang contraction (缩写) of university, has acquired a special meaning which only it expresses and is no longer slang. Jazz, when it means a particular kind of music, is scarcely a slang form, since there is no more respectable word meaning that kind of music.
选项
A、Nobody has defined and recognized slang, although they are used by a generation after another generation.
B、Slang tends to be transient though they have found their way in dictionaries.
C、Having difficulty in defining slang and telling slang from similar things, people still use slang frequently.
D、Slang can be totally beyond the understanding of the old.
答案
C
解析
题目问:读者可以从本文了解到哪些关于俚语的知识?[A]尽管一代又一代的人使用俚语,但是没有人给俚语下过定义并且了解俚语。这与文章内容矛盾。[B]尽管俚语渐渐地为词典收录,但是他们的生命力却很短。这与文章内容矛盾。[C]尽管人们在给俚语下定义与辨别与俚语相似的语言现象时有困难,但是人们仍然经常使用俚语。这与文章内容一致。[D]老年人完全不懂俚语。文章中没有提到。所以答案为[C]。
