潮汕人称赞美味佳肴时最常说的话是“好食死”。在潮汕方言中,这句口头禅甚至比著名的“自己人”更被经常地使用着;但有趣的是,却几乎从未见诸文字。写作本文时我尝试着通过Google重新搜索了下,结果证实在网络的海量信息中的确找不到“好食死”在书面语言上的使用记录。潮汕方言在口语和书面语上出现的这种巨大反差,无疑是一种很需要引起重视的文化现象。 Chaoshan people praise delicacies most often say is “good food die ”. In the Chaoshan dialect, this mantra is even more commonly used than the famous “one’s own man”; but interestingly, it is almost never seen in words. At the time of writing, I tried to search again through Google and the results confirmed that I did not find “Good Death” in the written language usage record in the vast information network. This huge contrast between spoken and written Chinese in Chaoshan dialects is undoubtedly a cultural phenomenon that needs attention.
