Ⅱ. Direction: Read the following passage carefully and then explain in your own English the exact meaning of the numbered and underlined parts. Put your answers in the ANSWER SHEET.
【B1】
A couple of months ago, Singaporean officials unintentionally made cinematic history.
They slapped an NC-17 rating on a film--which means children under 17 cannot see it--not because of sex or violence of profanity, but because of bad grammar. Despite its apparently naughty title, Talking Cock, the movie is actually an innocuous comedy comprising four skits about the lives of ordinary Singaporeans. The censors also banned a 15-second TV spot promoting the flick. 【B2】
All this is because of what the authorities deemed "excessive use of Singlish."
【B3】
Given the tough crackdown, you would expect Singlish to be a harmful substance that might corrupt our youth, like heroin or pornography.
But it’s one of Singapore’s best-loved quirks, used daily by everyone from cabbies to CEOs. 【B4】
Singlish is simply Singaporean slang, whereby English follows Chinese grammar and is liberally sprinkled with words from the local Chinese, Malay and Indian dialects.
I like to talk cock, and I like to speak Singlish. It’s inventive, witty and colorful. 【B5】
Singlish is especially fashionable these days among the younger generation, in part because it gives uptight Singapore a chance to laugh-at itself.
But the government is not amused. It doesn’t like Singlish because it thinks it is bad language and bad for Singapore’s image as a commercial and financial center.
【B4】
