“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email, I laughed. I thought it was a typical _36__ of Chinglish.
Obviously it is a word-by-word literal（字面上的）translation of the Chinese greetings with a 37 English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American 38 .I was too delighted to believe her. Her words could not 39 me at all. So I did a 40 on Google. Com.. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages 41 “Long time no see”. This sentence has been 42 used in emails, letters, newspapers, moves, or any other possible place. Though it is 43 informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. 44 , if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the 45 will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
Nobody knows the 46 of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully 47 a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom 48 quoting (引用) Confucius. “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon “Long time on see” became a 49 phrase in America 50 the popularity of these movies.
Some people 51 America to a huge melting pot (熔炉). All kinds of culture are 52 in the pot together, and they 53 the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic group in the United States, is also 54 some changes to be 55 in the mixed pot.

“Hey, Jenny ! How’s the model?”
I had just taken a bite of my hot dog 31 I heard a familiar voice yelling at me from across the crowded school yard. I saw a group of popular girls who were all 32 .
“What kind of 33 are you going to do? An ad for a Frankenstein movie?” More laughter. My stomach twisted into a tight knot. How could they humiliate (羞辱) me like this, in front of the entire school? As I walked into the cafeteria, I 34 the dark scars on my right hand.
At 9 months old, I knocked over a tea pot and dumped boiling water all over my hands and stomach. My parents 35 me to the hospital, but I had to have skin graft (移植) operation. I was in so much pain! But what 36 me most were the cruel things people said about how I looked, like that day at lunch.
The girls were being super mean to me because they’d heard I was considering doing some modeling. A close friend had suggested that I shouldn’t let my scars 37 me and that I might make a good model.
But after that 38 at school, I was sure I’d made a huge mistake. Upon arriving home, I covered the mirror with a blanket, fell on my bed and sobbed.
The next day, I39 myself to go to school. At lunch my best friend Jesse tried to encourage me: “You can’t 40 forever, Jenny. So what if you have a few scars? Just go outside and show them that you’re just as good as they are.” Although I knew he was right, I couldn’t imagine standing up for myself like that.
However, that night as I sat on the bed, my friend’s words replayed in my mind. I’m 41 hiding from myself, I thought. How stupid! Slowly, I stood up, walked over to the 42 , and tossed the blanket aside. There, in the mirror I saw a slim, dark-haired, blue-eyed girl, looking just fine, 43 with a few scars.
The next day I wore a comfortable T-shirt to school. What’s more, I had lunch outside the cafeteria,
44 beside those mean girls. They were shocked that I should dare to walk into their territory. I felt different too—free and happy.
Sometimes people still look at me strangely. They whisper and stare, but I don’t let it get to me. I have applied to several modeling companies, and at least one company is considering me for jobs. Maybe I’ll never 45 posing on the runway (T形舞台), but I do know one thing: I’m done.
