I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke (唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the English I grew up with.
Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as "broken" English. But feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than "broken", as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, "limited English," for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perception (认识) of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact, because when
A. impolite
B. amusing
C. imperfect
D. practical
