Today saw a video, which was Luo Yonghao , which was pointing out the question of how to pronounce "APP", explained the pronunciation and source of "app" in English, the regular writing method, etc., and then talked about how it should be pronounced, saying that we all read it wrong. Have we read it wrong?
I think China should increase cultural confidence, so why do we always guide everyone on the road to English? Chinese culture is compatible with it. Chinese culture not only contains content in English, but can contain content from all ethnic groups and regions in the world. Do not impose foreign languages you are familiar with on the Chinese language environment.
In English, how to pronounce "app" is formed in the English environment, and how to read it in the Chinese environment is its own rules formed by Chinese people. In the Chinese environment, who knows how "app" is formed? After turning on the Xinhua Dictionary , I can't find this word. For those who have been to school, the first thing they can think of when they see these letters is to read these letters intuitively, and they will be recognized, easy to understand, and easy to accept. This is the purpose of language communication. In this language environment, some people who have learned English like to use the English model to correct pronunciation. This situation itself reflects the narrowness of culture and loses the inclusiveness of Chinese culture.
In the face of cultural impacts from various countries, we will not refuse or accept them in full. Instead, we will tolerate these cultures with the characteristics of Chinese culture and integrate them into Chinese culture. Only such cultural dissemination can be meaningful and Chinese culture can move to a broader stage. How to pronounce
APP may not be corrected by someone, but a pronunciation that the general public can accept, forming a conventional pronunciation, and gaining everyone's recognition, and just knowing what it is. There is no need to spend half a day explaining how to pronounce it for a pronunciation you think is correct. Chinese culture has inherited and carried forward in China's land and has gradually moved to the international stage.
