新冠疫情的出现,给全人类带来了巨大的挑战与危机。语言也在这场“战役”中,发挥着重要作用。首先,民众需要对这种新型病毒进行认知与了解,语言承担着科学宣传的职责;再者,面对这种突发疫情,民众的情感方面也会产生一定的波动,语言疏导与心理救助的需求也随之增加。对于居住在中国的汉语非母语者而言,如果中文能力不佳,上述两方面会存在很大的困难,这也对我国语言服务业提出了新的挑战。由于事发突然,面对急速广泛传播的疫情,各项工作都需要争分夺秒,而短时间内提供准确及时的多语言服务又极其困难,各国都开始加大对应急语言服务的研究力度。2020年,我国战疫语言服务团在继《抗击疫情湖北方言通》和《疫情防控外语通》之后,开发出了第三个新的应急语言产品——《疫情防控“简明汉语”》。《疫情防控“简明汉语”》研制组于2020年2月21日成立。3月12日,教育部官网发布了这一语言应急产品,面向在华外国人提供疫情时期的学习,生活以及应急语言服务。本研究选取该语言产品作为研究对象,使用中文文章难易度分析工具“汉语阅读分级指难针”,对其研制标准以及例文《不同的人减少感染新型冠状病毒风险的方法》进行考察,探寻其特征以及对今后的发展进行思考。
The emergence of COVID-19 has brought great challenges and crises to all of humanity. Language also plays an important role in this "battle". First of all, the public needs to recognize and understand this new virus, and language assumes the responsibility of scientific propaganda; second, in the face of such sudden negative events, the people's emotional aspects will also be affected, and the demand for language counseling and psychological assistance will also increase. For non-native speakers living in China, if the Chinese ability is not good, there will be great difficulties in the above two aspects, which also poses a new challenge to the service industry of Chinese.Due to the suddenness of the situation, in the face of the rapid and widespread epidemic, all work needs to race against the clock, and it is extremely difficult to provide accurate and timely multilingual services in a short period of time, and countries have begun to increase their research on emergency language services. In 2020, following "Hubei Dialects Glossary for Fighting Epidemic”, “Foreign Language Glossary for Fighting Epidemic", “Epidemic Language Service Corps” developed the third new emergency language product "concise Chinese for Fighting Epidemic". The development team was established on February 21, 2020. On March 12, the Ministry of Education released this language emergency product on its website to provide language services to foreigners in China for learning, living, and emergency situations during the epidemic. this analysis selected this language product as the research object, and used the Chinese article difficulty analysis tool "Chinese Difficulty Indicator" to investigate its development criteria and the example article "Methods to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection in different people", to explore its characteristics and to make suggestions for improvement.
