利用雅思中国网的文化交流平台，准备与意见相异的同行打擂台。雅思哥当裁判，公婆伦理，到底是公有理还是婆有理？老外不懂汉语，没有资格上台争议。事先讲好点到为止，擂台打英文写作的【中文思维】。
中教外教写作名师好像一面倒的认为中文思维是英文写作的致命伤。其实不让。没错，想中文写英文也许会搞得英不英，连自己都觉得好笑。试问龙的传人，百分之百的英文思维写作，当今有几个人胆敢吹这个牛？我们学英文并不是想变为英国人或美国人。英文无非是国际共同的工具语言，学多少算多少。没有人为了学英文，却又想又能把母语连老母的话一起忘记。至于外教写英文时不想中文，这是他家的事，反正他们目不识丁。
最自然的莫过于顺天意。英文写作的时候来英文想英文，来中文想中文，来者不拒。只要写出来的文章，让读者认定是英文，就是英文无疑。讨论中文思维的利弊，简直无聊至极。要这样想：懂中文是优势。
我们阅读的能力比写作能力好，这是正常。眼读英文，心中念念有词，难免心头涌上中文含义。此举乃是英翻中，比起中翻英容易。谁能阻止你读英文想中文，又有谁能阻止你写英文时与中文藕断丝连，剪不断理还乱？所以同志们大可放松自己主宰自己的构思，千万不要被流言中伤。避免不了的事就不要避免了，何必自讨苦吃呢？
顺便提个用中文学英文的游戏叫做中翻英。阅读英文为主，行有余力时才玩玩中翻英。游戏规则是意换意，句换句，不要字换字。此乃【概念替换】也。中英文平行而不交叉。英文是英文，中文是中文。想英文又想中文要随心所欲而不逾矩。好吧，雅思兄弟姐妹们，有兴趣玩中翻英吗？
