　　【原文】

　　Many people in the West may have heard Pidgin English or Yanjingbang English, as it is so named in China. In the late 19th century, Yangjinbang was originally a little river parallel to the city wall of Shanghai and was seldom recorded in history. However, it has left such a deep mark in the history of Shanghai that Yangjinbang has become a symbol of amalgamations of Chinese and foreign cultures.

　　During the Chin Dynasty, British consulate George Bafor persuaded merchants to build business concessions to the north of Yangjingbang River, the west of Huangpu River and the south of Wusong River. By the middle of the 19th century, concessions in Shanghai became the largest region in the world for immigrant from other countries. And to the north of Yangjinbang River, a flourishing new city took shape. In those days, southern Shanghai was ruled by the Chinese government, whereas those concessions in northern Shanghai were run according to the European rules. On both sides of the rivers, the two sets of practices competed, clashed and blended. In the trade between the north and south of Shanghai, Yangjingbang was a direct frontier, and people there spoke a variety of languages and dialects, including the native dialect and the English language. As both sides got closer, so were the Chinese culture and the western culture. Although the river was filled in 1914 to make way for the widest road then in Shanghai, Yangjingbang remained the frontier of communication between the Chinese and foreigners, and thus, came Yangjinbang English, a kind of business English used by local people and people from European countries.
