English: This Chinglish contains two grammatical errors resulting from Chinese-to-English translation. First, subject-verb disagreement: 'leadership' as a collective noun in English requires the singular verb form 'values' (not 'value'), according to the Cambridge Guide to English Usage. Second, lack of the adverb 'highly' to modify the verb 'values', which is mandatory in English to express the degree of importance. This error pattern is common in Chinese speakers' English due to the absence of inflectional morphology in Chinese (Language Teaching Research, 2024).
Chinese: 该中式英语包含两个源于汉译英的语法错误。第一,主谓不一致:根据《剑桥英语用法指南》,英语中“leadership”作为集合名词需与单数动词形式“values”(而非“value”)搭配。第二,缺少副词“highly”修饰动词“values”,英语中表达重视程度时此副词必不可少。由于中文缺乏曲折形态变化,这种错误模式在中文使用者的英语表达中很常见(Language Teaching Research, 2024)。
