North and South Koreans face a widening language divide caused by 70 years of separation
That is creating some communication problems for the two countries' first joint Olympic team as it
prepares for the Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
So, the joint women's hockey(冰球) team has created its own dictionary. The three-page
document translates important hockey terms from English into South Korean, and then into North Korean
Canadian Sarah Murray is the team's coach. She says the document has helped everybody
communicate. Team Korea was formed just two weeks ago after the two Koreas decided to suddenly
cooperate during the Olympics. Twelve players from North Korea were then added to the 23-
member South Korean team.
South Korea has brought many English words and phrases into its language. North Korea has
removed foreign words and created substitutes from Korean words. To many South Koreans, the

substitutes sound funny.
Language experts say about one-third of the every.day words used in the two countries are
different. The divide is wider with technical language, like that used for medical and sports
industries. For example, South Korean hockey players use the English word \but their North
Korean teammates say \lak\or \Koreans say \gay soo\meaning
\player\South Koreans call that position \like in English. South Koreans say \
shot\
Murray admits that there are still some problems in communication even with the new
dictionary. She said her South Korean assistant coach plays an important part in bridging the divide
Some in South Korea have criticized the partnership. They argue that the addition of players from
North Korea may prevent South Korean players from playing as much One early public opinion
study found that about 70 percent of South Koreans opposed the joint team However, that opposition appears to be lessening as the Olympics near. 29. What mainly causes communication problems for North and South Korean first joint Olympic team?
A.There exists a gap between the two languages.
