“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 　1 of Clingfish.

Obviously it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greeting with a 　2 English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American 　3 .

I was 　4 thrilled to believe her. Her words could not convince me at all. So I did a 　5 on Google. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages 　6 “Long time no see”. This sentence has been 　7 used in emails, letters, newspapers, 　8 , or any other possible place. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language 　9 Americans use daily. However, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the 　10 will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.

Nobody knows the origin of this Clingfish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In 1910s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by 　11 Confucius(孔子). “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon “Long time no see” became a 　12 phrase in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.

Some people 　13 America to a huge melting pot(大熔炉). All kinds of culture are mixed in the pot together, and they 　14 the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic group in the United States, is also contributing some changes to be 　15 in the mixed pot.
