Shanghaihua (上海话)：use it or lose it

There are about 6.000 languages in the world and some experts say that as many as half of these languages will disappear in the next one hundred years. Will Shanghaihua be one of t 1 ? It's a question that morepeople are asking.

In China, Putonghua is the official language. That m 2 it's the language of government, business andthe media (媒体). And it's also the language that is used in schools.

Shanghai is a special city. It is modern, fashionable and sophisticated (老练的). And Shanghaihua showsthat by being modern, fashionable and sophisticated. "I love riding on the b 3 and listening to people speakingShanghaihua." Miss Evans, an American reporter said. " I don't understand a word they are saying but I like thesound of the language. It sounds smoother than Putonghua. And Shanghainese like things "renao" (热闹)so evena discussion about the weather can sound like an argument or a party. My bus rides are a 4 interesting."

Young people still speak Shanghaihua but not as well as their parents and grandparents. They are undermore and more pressure (压力) to speak Putonghua. So the language is being used l 5 often in everyday life.

Some people want to keep the language from disappearing completely by building museums and having culturalfestivals to save it. But a language isn't a painting or a book. It's a living thing and you e 6 use it or lose people stop using it in their d 7 lives, a museum or a festival will not help. It will be lost forever, likethe Yangtze River dolphin.

Several years ago， a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker， another owned one of the largest companies in the world， and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.

The reporter was talking to them about being important.

“How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker.

The banker thought for a few moments and then said， “I think anybody who is invited to the Whiter House to meet the President of the United States is really important.”

The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.

The man shook his head， “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You‘d only be important if while you were visiting the President， there was a telephone call from the president of another country， and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”

The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?”

“No， I don‘t，” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”

“Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.
