1 Dear Parents and Teachers, Please find the following updates for this week. LHXCS Board Decisions LHXCS Board has held a meeting on 11/17 to seek final solution on the issues related to the MPM/MPE contract with Livingston BOE. The goal is to restrict parking on streets near MPM/MPE so that Livingston BOE will allow our parents entering MPE/MPM building and playing in the Big GYM. The LHXCS Board decisions are: Livingston Huaxia Chinese School will hire police to help maintain order on the streets near MPM/MPE on Saturdays for the school year. The total cost is about $10,000. To defray the cost, the School needs to collect $10.00/student one-time fee. Livingston Huaxia Chinese School will open a registration membership for using the Big Gym to cover the gym rental cost and other related expenses. The membership fee is $100/person for the school year. Our school will start to collect money based on the above board decisions on this Saturday, 10/24. For students in Chinese (include Maliping) class of first grade and up or CSL class or AP class, parents please give $10 bill to your child and ask him/her to hand it in to his/her Chinese(or Maliping or CSL) class teacher. 1

2 For other students (adult class, culture class, kindergarten class, Preschool class), please pay $10 to school at the registration desk in the cafeteria. For Big gym users, you must register and pay the fee at the registration desk to get a card to access the Big Gym, and your name will be posted in the Big Gym for your legitimate gym membership. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! Tuition Refund Tuition refund checks will be available next Saturday 10/31 at the registration desk in the cafeteria. Please come to pick up with your photo ID.

4 不请客, 就捣蛋! 写给李文斯顿学中文的孩子们沈其宗秋风一起, 便迎来了金色的十月, 令小朋友兴奋的 Halloween 也就在下一个街口了然而, 不管是在我们的中文课本里, 还是一些中文报纸上, 却都把 Halloween 说成万圣节 ( 读过马立平四年级的同学该记忆犹新吧?) 我想借机试着用下面这个练习从另一个角度来激发同学们对语言学习的兴趣先理一下事实, 在西方宗教日历上, 11 月 1 日是 All Saints Day, 照字面译成中文就是万圣节或诸圣日 ( 这种译法叫直译 (direct translation, literal translation, 或 word-for-word translation, 就像我们的中秋节被直译为 Mid-Autumn Festival 一样 ) 我们再来做点词源学的功课, Halloween 是缩自 All Hallows Even, 意为 :Eve of All Saints Day Eve, even 的变体, 在这是指重大日子或节日的前夜前夕我们都明白 Christmas Eve 与 Christmas Day 不是同一天, 就像 New Year s Eve 与 New Year s Day 不是同一天一样讲到此地, 同学们还会把 Halloween 说成是万圣节吗? 其实, 这种张冠李戴的误译现象并非罕见说到误译, 最经典的也许要算我小时候听过的一段名人轶事了清代末期一位名人把英国的一份大报 The Times 误认为是以伦敦那条泰晤士河 (The Thames) 为名的报纸, 于是他把报名译成泰晤士报介绍给了中国读者就因为这是 4

5 出自大手笔, 再说当时懂英文的人远比不上今天, 以致沿用至今, 这也就理所当然被归纳在所谓的约定俗成之列了咱们再说 Halloween, 不难想象, 不谙英文的爷爷奶奶外公外婆难免会把 Halloween 当成万圣节介绍给在中国的亲戚朋友, 无意中以讹传讹看来, 多掌握好一种语言还有社会公益, 能促进人类正确无误的沟通但愿我讲了这些, 能给同学们再添多一个理由去学好外语如今随着科技飞速发展, 日益发达的交通与通讯工具使世界显得越来越小, 因此说不同语言的人们沟通的需要也变得更加突出由于中国近年来飞速崛起, 并在世界经济舞台上扮演着一个举足轻重的角色, 同时也给发达国家带来无穷商机, 这对在美国生长受教育而只懂英文的同学们来说, 选择学好中文这门祖裔语言应该说是给自己今后多备了一把打开机会大门的钥匙吧 5
