Open any group chat and you will see them: memes and quick jokes. They are funny and fast. Recently a serious question appeared in a teachers' newspaper. If students talk in memes all day, will they slowly lose their own words? The worry is not fun. It is range. A meme can capture a mood in two characters. But a mood is not a thought. When you must explain an idea or comfort a friend, memes cannot carry you. Old sayings survived because a story stood behind them. Fun is fine. Do not let it become your only language.
打开任何一个群，你都会看到它们：梗图、热梗、俏皮话。它们好笑，也很快。可最近，一份面向老师的报纸提出了一个严肃的问题：如果学生整天用梗交流，会不会慢慢失去自己的语言？担心的不是“有趣”，而是“范围”。一个梗能用两个字说清一种情绪，但情绪不等于思想。当你需要讲清一个道理、安慰一个朋友时，梗就带不动你了。老话能流传下来，是因为背后藏着一个故事。好玩没关系，别让它成为你唯一的语言。
