They seem to have appeared in t
26、he 15th and 16th centuries, when English speakers were in the habit of borrowing terms from Latin language.E.g. (exempli gratia, “by way of example”) is by far the most popular today, according to Google Books Ngram Viewer. It is basically a fancy way to say “for example” as it is used to introduce
27、specific examples of a more general topic or point: “She trains big dogs, e.g., Great Danes, mastiffs and Rottweilers.” E.g. always implies that what follows is not a thorough list our trainer might also work with, say, Irish wolfhoundsso it is unnecessary to conclude with “etc.” or “and so on.”I.e.
28、 stands for id est, “that is.” In English it is best translated as “that is to say,” as in “My dog is atypical Great Dane, i.e., large, faithful, and friendly.” According to Fowlers Modern English Usage, i.e. introduces “another way of putting what has already been said.” It is a restatement of what
29、 has come before. This can enter into e.g.s territory, when the restatement comprises a comprehensive list: “She trains big dogs, i.e. , Great Danes, mastiffs and Rottweilers.” In this case, i.e. indicates that she trains only these three dog breeds (品种).Then there is viz., short for videlicet, whic
30、h was once the most popular of these abbreviations.Texts in the 19th century are full of viz.yet never before employed. In 1810, it was used about 10 times more frequently than either i.e. or e.g., appearing not just in scholarly treatises (论文) and legal briefs but in personal letters and diaries. W
31、riters employed it so liberally across their compositions that modern experts have a hard time discovering rules for its use.What most modern experts do agree on is that viz. has had its day. I.e. and e.g. are enough to handle by themselves. As language expert Bryan Garner jokes, “How does one prono

35、ce one can eat ones fill in a hawker center at a reasonable price, it is no surprise that eight in ten Singaporeans visit such places at least once a week, according to a survey conducted by the National Environment Agency in 2018. Singapore is so proud of its street food that is hopes UNESCO will i
36、nclude it in its catalogue of humanitys most precious arts.The UNs heritage inspectors had better hurry. The average age of the chefs is 60, so sustaining the hawker trade in the long run is hard. When old chefs pass away, many take their recipes with them, saysK. F. Seetoh. Only Singaporean citizen
37、s can work in hawker centers managed by the government. But young Singaporeans have little appetite for working in piping-hot stalls(摊位) for long hours and little pay.The few young Singaporeans willing to put up with such conditions often live hand-to-mouth. When Yu Ting Gay and Alex Ho opened their
38、 Italian-Japanese fusion stall in 2017, they hoped to earn$1474 a month each. Most of the time they made half that. “Our pockets were quite tight,” says Ms. Yu.Older hawkers have an unfair advantage. Many of those pay discounted rents: $200 a month on average. They will account for 55% of the 5 500
39、stalls rented by the government. But a report published by the Ministry Trade in 2015 found that even though younger hawkers have an average 15% higher operating costs, they do not pass them on to their customers, which is discouraged by the government too.32. What can we know from the first two par

The street food in Singapore shows the combination of differentcultures.C. 80% of the Singaporeans visit hawker centers everyday.D.
