To sum up, Chinglish is not a problem, but a phenomenon, is a transition period and cognitive stage when we study and use English. Chinglish is a phenomenon of deformity language, and it involves formation of many aspects and levels in language transfer, which ranges from vocabulary to sentence structure, from the sentence to discourse and from culture to thinking mode. There is a deep-seated problem when we learn English, namely essential skill language is not solid and the knowledge of the cultural differences is insufficiency. So it requests us to learn a foreign language with diligent thinking in Chinese environment. Moreover, we also need to find the rules of differences in English Chinese expressions and cultivate sensitive consciousness of language intuition through the contrast, inference, conclusion and analysis. Only by this way can we grasp language efficiently, and then we can speak language with full emotion and interest.
